There were many different sports miniball,netball,hockey,tackle rugby and volleyball I had decided to play tackle rugby instead of miniball or soccer we had lots of games and lots of fun we played victory first and lost 4-3 then lost again this time against hampden st a we lost 4-3 again next we versed Clifton and beat them 3-2 in the last second from an intercept we then versed st joes they were unbeaten but we dominated them 4-1 our last match against Auckland point we won easily 4-2 we were happy with 3rd but we would have liked 1st or even in the final but oh well we traveled back on the bus and fell on the seat and was so happy to have a rest.

Basketball reps

On the 15th of august it was a basketball exchange tournament with Blenheim my team was Nelson white we had won the previous tournament in nelson. We really badly wanted to win this tournament because this was the final tournament we maneged to beat the first two teams we versed then dominated Marlborough red in one of our finals then the last game Nelson blue we were angry through most of the game because the bench were doing horrible giving me all the fouls for someone else after quite a few tears we came over the cheating bench and refs and won by 12 after our team worked really hard with me and Chris stealing and dumping the ball to our big guys.

Rubber racing day

On Monday the 9th of august it was the totara race day . We had made cars the days before out of cardboard we weren't allowed to use manufactured items so no Cd's or plastic you also weren't allowed metal. We were in groups I was with Liam and Toby we were doing quite well until Toby was sick he had all the plans Liam tried to keep going but he didn't know the plans so it was destroyed. We quickly started again but couldn't get the front wheel on so we couldn't compete. Race time their were two representatives from our class our class didn't think we would do as well as we did but Bianca smashed room 2 and the other classes. Her car got 13.68 metres we were amazed we had beaten Harry who apparently had gotten 20 metres before we were all pretty happy. It was also really funny max got picked as the other car his car was pimped. The forces we had used was when the rubber band is being stretched it is potential energy when it is released it is kinetic energy also their is friction.

THE END

Soccer

Last Saturday my team the nelson city geckos versed the Richmond slayers who are the top team in our league last time they beat us 7-0 this time we played really well and we were drawing through the whole game until the last 2 minutes when they got a break and crossed it in and Sean kicked it in the goal accidentally we couldn't get back we lost 1-0 DISAPPOINTING.
