Task: Room 12 and 11, we had a competition to see how much tasks we could complete and at the end, the person who got the most tasks win a prize, I did at least 7 tasks and this task is the one I am most proud of.

Rugby World cup – histories

World Rugby was founded as the International Rugby Football Board (IRFB) in 1886 by Scotland, Wales and Ireland, with England joining in 1890. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa became full members in 1949. France became a member in 1978 and a further 80 members joined from 1987 to 1999.

Only five nations have ever made it into a Rugby World Cup final. South Africa is the most successful team in the history of the tournament, with four wins, followed by New Zealand with three wins.

With New Zealand having 3 wins in the world cup, South Africa with 4, France with zero, England with 1, Australia with 2. As of today, April 30, 2024, South Africa has won the most Rugby World Cups with four titles.

New Zealand – All blacks

The New Zealand national rugby union team, commonly known as the All Blacks, represents New Zealand in men’s international rugby union, which is considered the country’s national sport. Famed for their international success, the All Blacks have often been regarded as one of the most successful sports teams in history.

South Africa 

South Africa have played at 8 of the 10 Rugby World Cup tournaments, having been unable to compete in the first two tournaments due to a sports boycott during the apartheid era, and have won 50% of tournaments in which they participated

Australia

The Australia national rugby union team, known as the Wallabies, has played in all ten Rugby World Cup tournaments. They have won the World Cup on two occasions; only New Zealand and South Africa have won more

France

The France national rugby team have competed in every Rugby World Cup since the tournament began in 1987. They are one of five teams who have played in the final match, having done so three times (1987, 1999 and 2011), losing and finishing second in the tournament each time.

 

My Infomation Writing

Task: Room 12 and 11 had to do a infomation report about a famous Olympian sport or a Olympic athlete. I picked Michael Phelps not only because he is a famous swimmer but because of how much passion he puts in his swimming, just as how much I love to swim too.

Michael phelps

INTRO: Michael Phelps is not only the best swimmer in history, but he is also the greatest Olympian of all time, blowing all previous records out of the water. Multiple world records were broken by Michael while competing at five games. He owns a total of 28 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze medals. 

PERSONALITY: He attended Rodgers Forge Elementary, Dumbarton Middle School, and Towson High School, he is also the youngest of three children. His parents divorced when he was nine years old in 1994. He found out his father was remarried which led them in a distant relationship. Then after he graduated from Towson High School in

2003 World record: At Nationals, Phelps won the 200 meter freestyle, 200 meter backstroke, and the 100-meter butterfly and became the first American swimmer to win three different races in three different strokes at a national championship.

Retirement 

  Michael Phelps made a decision that he would retire and take a      break from swimming competitions. In April 2014 Michael Phelps announced that he would come back to his career, he won the 100-meter butterfly event at the Arena Grand Prix in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Identity

 Michael Phelps is 39 years old, he decided to show his passion for swimming at the age of 7. He attended the North Baltimore Aquatic Club where he would train under the mentorship of coach Bob Bowman.

Conclusion

Michael Phelps is an extraordinary swimmer who deserves recognition and as much praise as possible. Even when he retires, I believe he will always continue his passion for swimming.

 

The desert lands

Task: For Our writing tasks, we had to write and describe our writing about a certain picture and each day of the week, the pictures change for us to make our writings more interesting depending on the pictures.

Monday Task – The desert lands

As the sun goes down, and the town goes around, the animals lurking in the area, the people of the villages getting ready for night, the capsicans spiking out, the leopards taking place in the desserts till night arrives. The people stand by till the sun rises back up, the trees drying up and the cliffs getting ready to crumble, the mountains made of sand and rocks, the birds flying up into the air, looking down closely at the view of the area, the plants and trees barely alive, the people and children ready for an adventure,  the colors in the sky, the reminding of an artist having the spirit to make a sight in the sky that no other person can ever make, the yellow colors of the leopard, sun, sand and the buildings of the villages. 

The animals of the desert, scorpions lurking under the deps of the sand, the camels walking in the area’s of the villages, the meerkats peeking out of the bushes, the winds bursting out of nowhere, the peaks going 

higher and higher of the mountains, snakes slithering 

around the sands and under, the moon awaiting to rise 

as the sun falls down to the other side of the earth, 

the villagers falling into deep sleep, the village lights 

appearing in the dark of the night.

WALT: differentiate discrete and continuous data

Discrete date

Data that can only take certain values is called discrete data or discrete values. This is data that can be counted and has a limited number of values. It usually comes in the form of whole numbers or integers.

Continuous date

Continuous data is data that can take any value. Height, weight, temperature and length are all examples of continuous data. Some continuous data will change over time; the weight of a baby in its first year or the temperature in a room throughout the day.

 

Discrete data Examples:                       Continuous date Examples:

Favorite colors                                                      Age

Class roll                                                                  Fingernails 

Number of players in a team                      Hair growth,                

Why kids should not vote by Cece

I think kids should not be able to vote because they may not understand why and what the government or the public are voting for, and they may vote on an opinion they are not supposed to.

In my opinion ages 10-18 should not vote. Kids should have the opportunity to vote but, because of their age, they may make the wrong decision. 

Children around the whole world believe they should vote. But parents and adults know why they should vote and what they are voting for. 

For the generation of kids, I don’t think it would be appropriate either, because they could make a choice like if children under 18 are allowed to vape, or if people are allowed to smoke in public.

Kids don’t even know what the adult generation feels like. That’s why I think kids should not vote.

 

       Why phones are banned from school by Cece.

I think phones being banned from school is fair, because so kids can have a good education and to make sure they aren’t distracted from their learning.

 

Phones can make a big distraction in class and playtimes, going on

phones at playtime can give a distance away from with friends

and not enough fitness.

Students aren’t supposed to bring phones to school, instead leaving them in the office or at home. Phones are responsibilities because they

can easily be stolen or lost.

Teachers may not be able to supervise and access the students history in case  students are on the wrong website, students on their phones and devices, but students going on chromebook teachers can see if the students are doing work or not.

Students can be very silly and put things on social media and make inappropriate comments or pictures of others.

Schools have the right to have values because kids must follow them, integrity is the main value when it comes to going on phones, that’s why I think schools should ban phones.

 

That was Christmas 

 

Have you ever tasted Christmas?

Sure you have

Remember the time you ate roast turkey? That time you went out on a walk into the cold, where all the snowflakes fell into your mouth from the night sky. That was Christmas

 

Have you ever smelt Christmas? 

Sure you have!

Remember the time when you smelt the wet dirt from the rain, the food cooking and the smoke from the chimney. That was Christmas

 

Have you ever felt Christmas?

Sure you have!

Remember the time when you felt the freezing snow, the feeling of happiness with friends and family, the satisfaction when the food was cooked just right. That was Christmas

 

Have you ever heard Christmas?

Sure you have!

Remember the time when the Christmas carols were so loud that you had to cover your ears? The ringing bells to sign that it is almost Christmas and the kids running around so excited for Santa. That was Christmas

 What makes a good leader

What a good leader should do

 A good leader aims for their goals and makes sure to include passion, confidence and encouragement and also to include their team as well which is everyone not just one.

Bad leaders only care about who’s right but good leaders care about what’s right.In fact the truth of a good leader tells you about what’s not right for you and what’s right for your team and your people.

A good leader leads by example such as leading their team to the right path and making sure everyone catches up. 

Bad leaders usually are selfish and care about himself but a good leader cares about everyone and encourages them but not for themself because they want to help their team first.
