How To Play Touch

How do people play touch rugby?

First of all only 6 people are allowed on the field per team. If there are more than 6 people the ref will blow his/her whistle and stop the game.

Touch is the same as rugby but there is no tackling. But touch is a bit strict if you get touched and you run off your mark and play the ball it would be hand over. Touch is also a fast game and is known as fast play.  

There are many rules to this game. For this game you just need to be onside most of the time. Many couches pick the people that have most experience in touch. With the most experience players your team could properly be the best.

Some of the equipment that is needed is a rugby ball and cones. People normally play touch on the field where it is usually played. Cones are needed so that you would know where the out and try line is.   

Many people are into touch, touch is a fun sporty game it is played as fast play the most important thing is that you always need to be onside. If someone doesn't touch you and you play the ball it is hand over.

If you drop the ball or even if the ball hits the ground it will be hand over. The rules are simple there is no tackling, no forward pass, have to be on your mark, have to be onside and there is only allowed 6 players on the field.

If you don’t know how to play touch well I have just told you the rules and how to play.

Class/School Rules

Why is it so important to have rules? Well it will be really dangerous for the student and the teachers. But at Point England school we have rules. If no rules were made at Point England school there were be a lot of violence and a lot of disrespect towards the teachers.

It is very important to have rules at school so that the students can have respect towards the teachers and also they can have protection. It’s very important to have rules so that students can know where the boundaries are.

Rules are made so that students can respect the teachers. Also students and teachers can get a good future by following the rules that are made at school. Students can also get into University if they follow the rules.

If no rules were made a lot of bad things would be happening at school. Many kids would be doing dumb things they would also be giving teachers a pain. No one would be able to control them because no rules were made.

Schools need safety and also protection. Otherwise many bad things could be happening like student could be taking drugs, also they might not turn up to school on time or even they might not even come to school.

There are many reasons why we all need rules so that we can have a good future.

 

Immersion Assembly

Every year after our 2 weeks of holidays Pt England School always has an immersion assembly. This year we are in term 4 our last term for the year. Our topic for this term is going to be ‘Art Attack’ for the whole term.

To start with, all the team one teachers were sitting on the edge of the stage relaxing. When the song changed they all got up and went and got their beach stuff. Mrs George was relaxing on a boat. Mrs Mola was playing with a beach ball with Miss Rapold. Until Mrs George started to chuck chocolate out into the audience. Team 1 is going to be studying about the environment to inspire their art.

Team 2 will be learning about primary colours. The teachers showed us a video about the three primary colours which are blue, yellow and red. The video was a song about what the three primary colours would be if you had mixed red and blue, red and yellow, and yellow and blue.

Next is team 3, Mrs Barks read out information about different artists. The interesting things about their item was that the artists has made different kind of things that are in the world now. It was really interesting because I had thought that artists were just good at drawing.  

After team 3’s item, next up was team 4 Mrs Garden was talking about who had the best art. There were six different famous people on the stage, Mrs Garden was talking about their art. After talking about the art she said clap for the person with the best art. It came to a really famous artists we all clapped as hard as we could but Mrs Garden said it was the person next to him.

Finally Team 5 were last to perform. Their item was my favourite because what they had done was a painting of some of the important people at our school. When they had done painting they showed us what the painting was. It was of Mr Jacobson, Mrs Jarman and Mr Burt.

Cross Country

Wonder what cross country would be like?

On Thursday the 11th of September, our whole school had cross country. It was held at Point England School. It went from the little kids to the older kids.  We have different house colours Matatua, Te Arawa, Takitimu and Tainui.

When it was yr7 girls run I felt so nervous that I had butterflies. Bang!! Off went all the girls running as fast as they could.

During the middle of the race Quasia and I would always run and stop many times. Quasia would mostly run in front of me then stop. I would do the same thing.

I felt exhausted during the race. I had to run twice around the whole reserve. I saw Sela up ahead. I didn’t try to catch up with her because I was too tired from my first lap.

When I crossed the finish line I quickly walked straight to the water station. After I had a few drinks of water I walked to go sit next to my friends. All we were talking about was our cross country run.

I was really exhausted after our whole 2 laps.

Netball Prize giving

Last night we had netball prize giving. For netball prizegiving we had to bring food to the prize giving. As prize giving started we had to it first. There were many foods so that meant that we can have thirds.

As prizegiving started as we started from the little kids and it went up to the older kids.As the litle kids went up the couchs had to say a few words then they would call out the team one by one.

As it was getting closer to our team we had to come up with something. as it was the yr8 team 1 we waited until our turn. As it was our turn we go up our coaches were calling our name one by one.

As it was over most people went and eat the leftover. Also helped clean up the hall as netball was over I couldn’t wait until next year.

                                 

Ban Plastic bags

I am writing this letter to tell you that plastic bags should be banned. Many sea creatures are dying from eating the plastic bags in the sea.

Plastic bags shouldn't be thrown to the ground, it should be thrown into the rubbish bin. Otherwise it would end up into oceans, rivers, trees and somewhere else.

Everything you chuck away can end up in the river, trees and the ocean. Rubbish can affect the world by polluting the world.  The world could be full of rubbish.

Most people go to shopping malls. Most shopping malls give away free plastic bags. Pak n Save sell their plastic bags for only 10c. But most shops give their plastic bags for free.

Yours Sincerely

Ata Argument Writing

I believe that children should exercise everyday so that they can transform and become strong and fit. Children should exercise more often so that they can achieve their fitness goals.

Many kids should exercise more so that they could be healthy. Kids should exercise especially adults. Adults should exercise every day like kids so that you would have strength, speed and agility.

Kids would only want to exercise so that they can achieve their goals. It’s the same as wanting to get better at sports or getting better at running.

Children who exercise every day are better at sports, running and other things. Kids who always exercise will become healthy,sporty and skinny and also really fast

Therefore I believe that exercise is the best thing for your body. So that you can keep healthy,strong and fast.
