As the start line started to fill up and Mr Scott was getting ready to fire the gun. Bang!!! all you could hear was the stamping feet of all the yr8 boys. After jumping over people that had fallen over we started to reach a good pace. I reached the last corner had went for the last dash i came 78. It was a good day allround

Rugby league

As the boys started to pour out of the bus, the tension started to build. There was only 10 minutes until the over 55 kg team played their first league game at Mountfort Park, Manurewa.

As we did not have much time to warm up, we jogged over to were we were playing, and we started to see all of the teams we were going to play. Most of them looked familiar, as we played against them in recent rugby competitions.

Unfortunately the over 55 kg team did not win any of their games, but there position is still unknown, but the under 55 kg team won 2 of there games and made it to the semis but lost. Their placing is 3rd or 4th.

Overall it was a good day all round.

On Monday the 20th of July the science roadshow was held at the Pukekohe Intermediate school hall. The roadshow was based around planet earth and how sound travels. They had heaps of experiments and contraptions set up for us to try. But first they had a slide show to present to the classes that were present. Once they had presented the slide show we were free to explore and try the experiments that were set up in the hall.

We love rugby

Rugby is loved and followed all over the world. It is our national game and it is the most played sport in New Zealand.

Rugby originated in 1845 Warwickshire, England. Rugby was famously an amateur sport until the IRB declared the game open in 1995, by removing restrictions on payments to players.

The creation of rugby is said to be an accident. In England 1823 a group of people were playing soccer when William Webb-Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it. That’s why the rugby world cup trophy is named after William Webb-Ellis.

Rugby is a great to keep your fitness levels up and your weight low. To increase your fitness levels and to maintain your weight eat healthy and exercise regularly. So get off the couch, trade in your remote for a rugby ball and your slippers for some boots and go and join your local rugby club.
