ParalympicSports


1. Wheel chair Netball

2. To play this game, there would be 7 on each team. If you would receive a ball you have stay still and try see if your team mate is free. Then is your team mate is down on the other side of the courts that you team mate tries to shoot the ball in the netball hoop. Then the you team will score your team a goal.

Writing The Ending Story - Winter Learning Journey

Where is the NZ team?

Starting Story )Imagine that you are sitting in the crowd at the opening ceremonies for the Rio Olympics this August. The ceremony has just started and all of the Olympic athletes are parading around the stadium in their uniforms when all of a sudden…

( Ending Story ) The NZ athletes were gone. Where are they? This can not be happening!! my friends and I were gone to see what happened to them. We looked around and outside but they were not there, We asked some of the athletes from other countries but they all looked shocked. But there was this team that they didn't like, which was the Australian team. We asked them but they did not answer, we asked them again and still din't answer. There was something wrong with them, and something looked suspicious. We kept on telling each other that it could be them that the NZ athletes were gone. We soon looked around the stadium then we found Niall Williams trapped in the caretakers closet all by her self. We looked for the care taker to unlock the closet, but he wasn't there either. So we tried and tried to open the door then we, then we found the key under the door matt. We unlocked it and she was finally free. We then asked her where was the rest of the team and she said that she doesn't know either. We look and look but we could find the rest of them. But when we walked past the......



Today I had to write this story about the NZ team gone and not participating in the parade. I had to write about 10 - 20 sentences, so like pretty much a story. This was quite interesting to write because I had a lot of imagination going around in my head.  Do you know where the rest of the went? Could you finish the end of my story?

Olympic Host

I think that Maria Tutaia would be a great Olympic Ceremony Host because everyone around the world would now notice her and would be a great opportunity for her to be the host. I have chosen her because I like the way she plays netball and how people can learn some of the tip about netball.  

NZ Team Uniform Ranking - Day 6 - Winter Learning Journey

NZ Team Uniform Ranking




 2012 NZ Olympic Uniform. #1

 2008 NZ Olympic Uniform. #3

 2004 NZ Olympic Uniform. #2


Today I had to rank these NZ Team Olympic Uniform in order from 1 to 3. The first one I would rank it a #1 because it in style and I really the dresses. The 2nd I would rank it a #3 because the fashion style is kind ugly (no offense) but just having one pattern to re present New Zealand would be not good. The 3rd one I would rank it a #2 because I can see the use the of the colour and how different style for each gender.

This episode was about Tom and Vinicius who were in china, when they were looking at the view then they meet 3 young beautiful girls, they wanted to take photos of Tom and Vinicius.

And played with them until night, Tom and Vinicius and the 3 young beautiful girls watched the moon until Tom had a great idea and that idea was to let some fireflies go and brighten up the bridge then celebrated and played music with each other.

Milo Of Croton - Winter Learning Journey

Milo Of Croton



  • Milo of Croton was a 6th-century BC wrestler from the Magna Graecian city of Croton, who enjoyed a brilliant wrestling career and won many victories in the most important athletic festivals of ancient Greece.

  • Milo was a six-time Olympic victor. He won the boys' wrestling (probably in 540 BC), and thereafter five men's wrestling titles between 536 and 520 BCE. He also won seven crowns at the Pythian Games at Delphi (one as a boy).

  • The date of Milo's death is unknown, but he reportedly was attempting to tear a tree apart when his hands became trapped in a crevice in its trunk, and a pack of wolves surprised and devoured him.

In this blog activity, I have list three facts about "Milo of Croton. This was very hard to find but everything about him was on wikipedia..... "Phew." This was very interesting to find facts about him and how he was the 6th century BC wrestler.
