How to score a badminton
For the past week we have been playing badminton in PE. Today I am going to tell you how to score a game of badminton.
You can play badminton in singles or pairs. There are smaller lines for a single match and wilder/deeper lines for a doubles match.
If you hit the shuttlecock over to the opposition side, and they don´t hit it, but it lands within the court lines, you score a point.
If a server is unsuccessful in hitting the shuttlecock over the net, or the serve doesn't go diagonal, its a point to the other team and they get the next serve.
If you hit the shuttlecock out of the court/lines, its a point to the other team.
If you dont hit the shuttleckock, or dont hit it back over the net, and it falls to the ground on your side of the court, its a point to the other team,
The first team to reach 21 points wins the game. There are usaslly 3 games played, so you might win 3-0,2-1 or 2-0
If the teams are both on 20 points in a game, the winner must get two points ahead to win, eg. 22-20
Maori Land March 1975
For Social Studies we are learning about the hikoi that Dane Whina Cooper lead. The hikoi was 30 days and they started in Te Hapua and ended in Wellington.

The springbok tour protests
What is another word for apartheid?The state of being apart.
Why did the protesters need helmets?To protect their heads from the police's long batons and throwing stuff over protesters.
Why do you think being called honorary whites upset the maori all blacks?Maybe because they were maori's not whites and didn't like being called the honorary whites.
Why do you think the Hamilton rugby game cancelled?Because the protesters were running on the field chanting "THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING"
Do you think this protest was successful?Why?Why not?I think the protest was successful because Nelson Mandela said the sun has come out.New Zealand helped end apartheid and Nelson Mandela ended apartheid.
How do you think New Zealand protests helped nelson Mandela?In the story it says New Zealand helped end apartheid and Nelson Mandela saw them protesting so he decided to end it in South Africa I think.
FACTS
During one of the games there was a flour bomb test and droping a lot of flour bombs onto the field and players.
More than 150,000 people took part over 200 demonstrations in 28 centers, and 1500 were charged with offences stemming from these protests.
In many ways okaying of rugby took a back seat in protest 1981.
Rugby fallout from the tour for some commentators, these events were a watershed in our view of ourselves.
Alot of people tried stoping the spring bok tour and they had shields and flour bombs.

Games at health
Hi at health we got set a task to play games.When we played Evan straight up cheated in connect four so i went down he went down i went up then he cheated with a big mac combo then i watched a couple boys play this game it was pretty funny then we were about to play uno then we just chilled and watched the boys play the game again.
Dogs are better than cats as pets
I strongly think that dogs are better than cats because the more friendly they are more humble than cats plus they can see ghost i think.Dogs have better brains like when you train it it could do a lot of tricks like sit,stand,high five and thing a human and probably do and they act so calmly and they are mans best friends.

ARDIE SAVEA SPEECH
KIA ORA ME NAME IS TJ STRAIGHT FROM SOUTH AUCKLAND 685
born 14 october 1993
When Ardie was little he use to always watch the hurricanes play rugby;after the game finished he would always run around acting like Jonah Lomu or Ma'a Nonu bumping people off and he would always go waking up his parents and Julz AKA Julian Savea early in the morning so he could go and try play like his hero's.
He first started playing pro rugby in 2012 when he was 18 and made his first debut for the Wellington lions and he was played NO.8 and blindside flanker and he was fast and had a lot of power and he was aggressive.
2013 he played with the hurricanes after signing a 2 year deal then he travelled with the all blacks all over europe in 2015 and then he was put into the starting line up for the huricanes and he couldnt play in the finals cuase he was injured.
2017 Savea was one of the highest try scorers for the 2017 super rugby season scoring six that year.The first game they had the season hurricanes won to the sun wolves and Ardie savea played the full 80 minute game.
2018 performed well against France during the mid-year Steinlager series, with his performance in the first two tests including an outstanding try. Due to Sam Cane's ongoing poor discipline, Savea earned a start at openside flanker during the final test of the series.
And he still plays for the hurricanes
