Inter-house Rugby league (18/06/20)
On Wednesday 17th of June we had a inter-house rugby league game . We have 4 house groups but all of them formed into one team so Edinburgh and Windsor were together and Marlborough and Sandringham were together .
It was a really intense game , My team Edinburgh and Windsor scored the first try to open the game and then we went on to score another two . But then in the second half Marlborough and Sandringham came back and scored a try straight from the kick off . Then they gained momentum and started scoring even more tries tying with us 6 minutes into the game . Then the game finished and they scored the last try of the game and had the final say . I had fun but congrats to Marlborough and Sandringham .

Book Review (08/06/20) Poor Tahl and the rich man
So yesterday I did a book review on a book that I read with my class group . From my point of view I think you should read this book because it has a nice message that you have to unpack when reading .

The epic water safety day !
When me and my group arrived we had a little bit of trouble finding a parking space but we got there in the end . It was a nice sunny day good for just going and hopping in the water , It was very loud but being next to a motorway how could it not be .
We had an amazing day in the water . I loved that we got to share the spot with Kowhai and Aka aka they were just amazing . It was very cool to see how all of us interacted with each other , and it was our first WPC activity .
I had the best time at this event , but these are my 3 outstanding moments .
1. I made a new friend and her name was Kira she was from Kowhai , we did heaps of teamwork activities together like : Kayaking , Knee boarding , and acting how we would save each other. At first I didn't want to Kayak but she made me see that its fun you just have to try because you never know .
I also enjoyed that I was getting taken a photo of by Miss Davis .
2. I loved how my group worked together even though we didn't have a clue who each other were , we only had 3 people from our own school but we managed . The second activity we did Isaiah didn't want to do it but after he saw how cool it was he got back in again and continued on with me and Shailesh.
3. I finally got to meet William Pike himself , it was really cool meeting him and then what made me laugh the hardest was when Ifalame was touching his prosthetic leg . William Pike really inspires me so just to meet him was a win for me . We also found out that he had a new born baby boy , so we congratulated him with a card we all signed .
I am so happy that I got to be apart of this wonderful group I can't wait to do some more of these cool activities .

I had so much fun when I got there we did a whole family ripper tag game and it was so funny . All the kids would play while the older kids would play and the elders would watch and cook the food . It was QLD vs NSW and Queensland won 16 - 11 and we got to eat first before NSW or anyone else . I was so hungry after all that running and tagging but then I got big plate of food from my Aunty and ate it all up . Some of the older kids and the adults went to have a little swim before we all go home while the kids were doing some cool activities like : tug of war , capture the flag , rugby , orienteering , etc . After all that finished me and my family went home after a long day of sports and eating but mainly eating. I was looking forward to a new challenge of 2019 .

Umm...... I don't think I would live in a tiny house because I have siblings , my parents and my rabbits . So all of those things would not be good for a small house .
Another point is because I don't like being in small places because sometimes I get paranoid .

Activity 2 : Overcoming Adversity [ 4 points ]
I remember a time where we had to face a challenge and it was when we had to catch the rabbits that were living on the road. The rabbits live in our backyard right now but when they were on the road we had to face a huge but small challenge .
We had to try and catch them without hurting or scaring them and before sunset . So I remembered that we had rabbit food in the house , so I put it in the bowl and took it outside.
Then I took it out to my dad and he shook the food to make noise so they would come closer and it worked . Then we got a 2 baskets and we put the food in one and left the other one on top so we can close it when they come in . We went back inside and a few minutes passed by then we went back outside to check and they were both inside so then we quickly closed them in.
Now we have 2 wonderful playful rabbits and we have overcame a great challenge .
Here is a picture of the one we have but one of them died and so we caught the other one that's in the bottom photo ( Black and white) :
The small baby rabbit we had bought since the other one that's standing up in the first photo died.

Summer learning journey : Wk 2 Day 1 Task 3
Dear Jacinda Ardern ,
My name is Brendan I am 11 years old and I go to Wesley intermediate school the issue I want is housing.
I strongly believe that people that are poor should have the chance to know what it is like to live in a proper house and know how it feels to go through having to pay bills and stuff of those sort . I also believe that people shouldn't just be left on the road because if you saw a little kid or a baby without anyone to be cared for you would take that child and care for it .
But if you make a big apartment for poor people to live in you wouldn't have to see them on the roads and if they don't have money you could get them jobs to help out the community that they are in and pay them .
I hope you take this into consideration if you are reading and maybe this would be a helpful idea to stop poverty . Thank you for your time .
Kind regards , Brendan
