Basketball

Have you ever played basketball? I have.

Its a fun sport to play. When I got use to playing and learning new skills every Monday with my class Rm 20 and Rm 19, I started liking it more and more.

In basketball our coaches were Manu and Malic. They teached us a few different passes and these are some of them. There was an over head pass, a chest pass and a bounce pass.

They teached us other skills like how to defend yourself like there’s two ways. There are armbar and the leg bar, Coach malic called it the chicken leg and the chicken wings.

One of my favourite skills I learned is how to shoot properly. First you do a jump stop and then you put it it a shooting position and then you bend your legs and then shoot.

We also learnt some games that's to do with basketball.

One of them was called the golden child. If you want to play this is how: First you have to groups one of the groups have to shoot behind a line and the other group has to run. The group that is running goes one at a time and if the person who is shooting gets it in, the person who is running has to stop and stay where they are. If the person didn't get it in the person thats running doesn't stop running until they get to the end. Lastly when it's the last person running they are called the golden child. The Golden child runs and tags the people that can’t move any where and then they all run to the end. If someone gets the ball in the hoop while all of them are running and hasn’t got to the finish. The people that are running loose. If the other team didn’t get them in and the running team got to the finish they win the game.

I hope you enjoyed my writing, Please leave a comment.

Dog report

  Man’s best friend.

Date: 10.06.15

Today I’m going to be talking about how dogs are man's best friend. Do you ever wonder why people say that dogs are man’s best friends, not cats or other pets? I  did.  I think this report will show you why.

I think dogs are man’s best friend because they are loyal and playful pets.

You can teach them tricks and play with them in the park and even at home. Also they are cute and you can take them to places. Unlike cats, you can’t really take them to parks and places.

Dogs can be really helpful if you're a blind person because some dogs are trained to help blind people. They help blind people walk around and take them where they want to go. They also stop when they are going to cross a road.

Dogs are an animal that you can actually use to smell things. Like sniffing drugs, fruit and trying to find people. They use them because dogs have a keen sense of smell. They are trained by people to smell certain things. Like if the dog is trained to smell drugs, they probably can’t track fruit or people that are missing.   

The police sometimes use dogs to find criminals and burglars as well. So if there was a burglary and the burglar dropped something of his, the dogs could find them by sniffing it. Then the dog knows what smell to look for and where to go because everyone has a certain smell.

Did you know that dogs can mimic your emotions? I didn’t. I never knew that dogs, know if you're sad or really happy. So if you're sad the dog will know and it will try and make you feel better and comfort you. If you're lonely because it’s only you and your dog that lives in your house. Your dog can be your friend because dogs are pets that you can be friends with and you can have so much fun with them too.

This is why I think dogs are man’s best friend. They have a keen sense of smell, loyal, playful, comforts you, help blind people and can be your friend. No other animal can help humans quite like a dog can, our best friend.

 

Shark

`

Aahhhh we screamed. “ Keep calm Deja it’s just a little shark, I think” I said to myself. “Its ok Deja we are safe in this kayak, as long as we have some food we will be ok” said Alexis calmly. I had a smile on my face Oh yea, anyway at least I have someone here and lucky you bringed a supply of food” Deja said. Alexis started having a weird smile on her face .

We both started thinking about the sharks. About how sharks eyes looks fierce. The teeth are as sharp as teeth can be. Also how fast they are.

We both just remembered what our parents said if you ever see a shark thats going to attack you, you just have to poke or punch them in the eye.

“I got an idea Alexis”. I do to Deja, we could say it at the same time”.

“Ok” said Deja. “Ok in three, two, one, If it tries to attack us we can just poke it or punch it in the eye” we said quickly. Alexis started looking at the shark and said “ we could try and kayak to the closest beach or Island as well”.

“Yea we could, but maybe a Island because the closest beach will probably take us ages to get to” said Deja.

Alexis choose the Island on our right. We started paddling and the shark kept following us. Both of our tummies started rumbling. We were hungry from paddling for like an hour.

Finally we got to the Island. When we got out of the kayak, the shark jumped out of the water and the shark was getting ready to opens its mouth. We couldn’t look so we closed  our and screamed “ Ahhhh” We put our hand into a fist and we punched it right in the eye. We didn’t know if it was true or if we died, but then we opened our eyes and it was on the ground. “ Hurrrrr Ayyyyy” we said. I’m hungry can you get the food from the  kayak said Deja. Alexis started looking nervous and said um about that I left it in the house “ Nooooo!” Deja kept screaming. Then we started arguing again.
