Do you think music is better than sports? Well, let me tell you.

Well what I originally think is that sports are way better than music. Because sports are fun, physical and it keeps you fit and healthy.

The reason why I haven’t chosen music is because I play sports and I know how it feels. The sports I play are Football, Swimming, Gymnastics and surf life saving. I’ll run you through 3 good reasons why sports are way better.

Firstly, sports is something everyone can try.Secondly, It’s interactive, physical and fun. Finally, you burn calories and lose weight and sports are definitely not every single day of the week.

Now I’ll run you through 3 good reasons why music is not as good and fun as sports.

Firstly, music is not as physical as sports and you don’t get to interact with many people.Secondly, It’s not as common as sports you don’t burn calories either.And finally, It’s kind of boring when you do it everyday and learn the same songs a million times a day.

When you do sports like gymnastics, football or surf lifesaving you burn calories, lose weight and get way stronger.

When you do music it doesn’t really do anything; you just learn new songs,piano keys,notes or strings. You learn sports way faster than music.

 Music is fun  in some ways, but I still think that sports like swimming,gymnastics, hockey,football,rugby,squash,netball and even surf lifesaving are way better.

Music is kind of like a sport but not exactly even though music is not as interactive as sports  I do find music fun but its not as fun as sports.

Music doesn’t burn calories,lose weight and it doesn’t make you get strong like sports does.

Still in my opinion I still think sports is way better than music!!

Today we learned about brains and it was really fun because I got to touch a real monkey brain and a cat brain and even a rat brain. I got to touch the monkey brain and the cat brain but the rat brain was in a test cup with different chemicals so we couldn’t touch it.

We learned all about all of the different parts of the brain. Then we did some really cool activities with all of the people like looking into a mirror and tracing a star by not looking at it and putting on a shirt with one hand and making paper brains.

Horouta waka application

 Dear my fellow chiefs,

If I were chosen to board the Horouta waka the qualities I will bring to this job will be to protect the kumara or to tie the sails up and to help Navigate by using the stars,waves, clouds and the birds to new green luscious untouched land.

If needed I could take care of all the children aboard the waka. I have really good experience with cooking so if needed I can cook some delicious meals for the crew and when I look after the children I can make them some delicious snacks to eat while their parents are working.

I have good experience with fishing all thanks to my father.

 I am really good at swimming so if anyone falls overboard I can go and save them from drowning.

I’m fairly good at climbing things like trees and I can carry heavy objects such as crates full of kumara. If you need me aboard you know who to call.

Yours sincerely Tessa W

Explanations.

 What's the difference between Football and American Football?

Explanation

Want to know what the difference between football and american football is,well let me tell you. 

Firstly in other countries that play football use their feet and kick the ball around,but in America they use their hands and then drop kicks into their football goals. Secondly there are all these different football teams in different continents and different states but they wear different uniforms even though they are from the same countries.

In countries like New Zealand and Australia they use sphere-like balls as in America  Ironically, though they are still called “pigskins,” nowadays all pro and collegiate footballs are actually made with cowhide leather. As some people may think that if american football is like rugby the goals might be like that too, but there actually not they are the exact same as every other football goal in the world there all the exact same.

This is not an american football.

This is an american football.

The first game for america.

On November 6, 1869, Rutgers and Princeton played what was billed as the first college football game. However, it wasn't until the 1880s that a great rugby player from Yale, Walter Camp, pioneered rules changes that slowly transformed rugby into the new game of American Football.

The first ever NewZealand Football game.

14 May 1870

Nelson College played the Nelson Football Club, with 18 players on each side. The 'town' team, wearing 'street clothes', won the match 2-0.

My goal is : to add detail and sentences.

Measurement refection.

   Measurement Reflection 

My strengths

My Strengths are Reading scales capacity. 

Temperature -understanding negative numbers.

Goals

Calculating volume i cant properly understand it very well but im getting much better.

What helped me

I think attending all of the workshops really helped me a lot. I have got so much better at area and perimeter now.

Preparing

I think all I need to prepare for is calculating volume and Estimating and converting between measurements.

What the teachers did well in, and what they need to work on

Well in my opinion Mr S’s workshop on area and perimeter was really helpful and Mr K’s workshop on Reading scales was really fun overall it was pretty great!
