Things That I'm Thankful For

For blogging, the principal of our school made a task and the task was we had to go on canvas which is a photo collage website. And we had to get some things that we are thankful for I chose Beauden Barrett because he is my favourite rugby player. The reason why I chose the photo of mt Cook is that New Zealand is a great country. I chose money because if we didn't have money we couldn't buy anything. And lastly, I chose a Chocolate Labrador because they are my favourite breed of dog. Please comment if you have done something like this or if I can improve on anything.

Winter Tournament Reflection

On Wednesday the 7th of August the year 5/6 Marshland Rugby team went to winter tournament at Rawhiti Domain. In our grade, we had 5 teams on a 50-meter rugby field. We won the first 4 games, drew1 and lost 1 game. I think our team did really well in the winter tournament. The first game was Haeata vs Marshlands and we won 20 to 5. The second game we versed Te Pa and won 20 nil. The third game we versed we versed Queenspark and won 20 nil. The fourth game we versed South Brighton and we drew 10 all. The fifth game we versed Banks Avenue and won 5 nil.  And in the playoffs, we versed South Brighton and lost 10 to 5. If I go back there and do it again I would appeal to the ref more because in the final there were unfair decisions and the ref was biased. Out of the 5 R's I think I used Resilience because some of the decisions in the final were unfair.

Please comment if I need to improve on anything or If you were in the winter tournament because we might have versed you.
