Game Of Softball

Explain: Game Of Softball

Have you ever played softball? Have you ever heard about softball?
Well today I will show you what is softball and also show you how
you play softball.

First there are rules. Rules is in every sports there is.

Rules for softball (If you are bating):

• You cannot bat unless you have a helmet on
• Throw the bat to the side (Because if you leave the bat on home base that is an automatic out)
• You have to touch the base with your feet to be safe
• Your not supposed to stand on the base, only on the side of it

Rules if you are fielding:

• There is 1 person at each diamond (4 including home base)
• 3 people at the back of the diamonds on the outer field
• A short stop, which is a person who is in the diamond ready for the hits that don’t go that far
• A pitcher who is the thrower
• And a back stop which is a person at the back of the hitter
• getting ready to catch the ball from when the pitcher throws it

Softball is a type of game where you have to run and hit. Softball
also is an outdoor game, and also for both genders.

First if your bating you always should wear a helmet. When you hit the
ball make a run for it to base 1. If you hit it so hard that the fielders are
still trying to get the ball take that opportunity and run to the second base.
If by any chance they are still trying to get the ball make a run for it to base
3 than home back to where you started.

Glenbrae school should have a cafeteria in the hall?

Glenbrae school should have a cafeteria in the hall?

To: Mrs Elia

Glenbrae should have a cafeteria in the hall because… there are students that
don’t have breakfast every morning. I think that if they have healthy food from
the cafeteria they could learn better which they are filled up with energy and ready
to learn. It is also good to have a cafeteria because if you don’t bring lunch you
could go to the cafeteria, and also it will attract kids to come to school more and
come early more.

Bush craft

Bush craft

On 22nd of august, 2017, Yr 7 & 8 glenbrae students had  an amazing opportunity to do a hard working activity up North at Russell. My group which was group 4 did bush craft with an instructor named Michael.  

At russell we learned how to tie knots in different kind of ways. One way is q and p knot, churkers    knot    and    the    double    knot.   All    these   will   really   tie   really   tightly.

(I Taught my Mrs Elia (Principle) how to do the q and p knot.) After we mastered all the 3 ways of the knots we went looking for some sticks.

We looked for some tinder (Which is very small sticks), Sticks size of a pencil, half a pencil, size of your pinky and your thumb. We carried as much as we could. First of all we diged a hole where we could put our wood into it. We put tinder first to start of the fire, then put a bit bigger sticks into the fire. We used matches to start the fire. My group could achieve what we were aiming for but the other groups did.

So when the fire was big and strong they put a pot full with water onto two sticks and waited for it to start boiling. After 20 to 25 mins it started boiling so the other group achieved what they were aiming for. When it was boiling they tipped it carefully with gloves into the fire and washed the fire out. Of Course there was an bucketful of water next to the fire incase the fire would kept on going.

It was an amazing opportunity and experience.

(Thank you Michael.)

Science week

Science week.

On Term2 of week 10 2015 we had science week. Senior students of glenbrae school has been learning about  physical and chemical change. It was part of the science project.

On Monday we were with Mrs Raj. She wrote down the three states of matters on the board. We type that down on our netbooks. She also wrote down the water cycles and we did the same things on our netbooks. Mrs Raj told us lots of good information about the water cycle and the three matters.

On Tuesday we stayed at our class to learn about our science experiment. We learned that yeast is alive. When you put baking soda and yeast together the yeast will eat the baking soda. We made bread with yeast, baking soda, flour, and vinegar.

On Wednesday we had a chance to go to a different class. We went to Mrs Tofa’s class. She said there science experiment was bread too, but different kind of bread. We used baking soda but Mrs Tofa used baking powder for the bread.Mrs Tofa cut us a quarter of apple so we can dip it and put it in the sun to see if it turn brown. And it work.

Finally on thursday we went to room 9 on the first block. We were learning about the three matters, and the three matter was solid, liquid and gas. The experiment was sugar and salt. they get a candle and stick it on to a jam jar lid. Then they got a spoon of sugar and a spoon of salt. they put it on the fire.

The lesson i learned was you can never stop learning.

Making bread is easy.

A Special Time With Family.

A special time with family.

I had a very awesome time with my family. On the school holidays my family and i went to my village, Tonga. We didn’t walk there, we didn’t drove there but we flew there in a airplane. We went there to meet others families that i don't know.

First we landed. We didn’t crash. We landed safely. When we got out of the humongous plane we saw people waiting for me and my family. My mum said that there are our Uncle, Aunties, and cousins. I was shy when I got to meet them. But after two days we got to know each other.

Next we meet other Uncle, Aunties, and cousins. I was brave. I saw my cousin from New Zealand at tonga. It was amazing. I told my Parents why did all tongan people came to tonga”. My parents said, because we have to meet other families we know”.

Afterwards we went to a place called bounce and beyond. It had heaps of food and heaps of bouncey castles. I was very satisfied. My mum forgot to tell me something. My mum said we didn’t come just to meet families, we came to see our great, great grandpas and nanas”. They were very old. They are nearly 100 years old. So we kiss them and went to head back to New Zealand. I was crying. But I had lots of fun.

The lesson I learned was to always meet people from your family, and don’t forget to remember your grandpas and nanas too.

I used this writing rubic for my writing. It helped me alot. So if you have a rubic use it.

Writing

WALT: use conjunctions to extend sentences.

SC: use conjunctions to add more detail to an idea.

I agree that your actions speaks louder than your words. Because when you talk its just 7% of your words, I will explain how you talk.

When you promise someone that you're going to help them with your homework  and they don't, that shows that you are not using their action.

Can you see the picture, that's how your action speaks. You can do it now if you want to.

If someone says that your words a louder then you body language they're wrong. Everybody can do that but make sure that you use some of your words to. Do you want to know how your action speaks louder than your words.

Property- If i come back from school and i just threw my jacket on the ground and step on it I have to  pick it up before my mum takes it away.

Digestive system rap
