The London Olympics 2012

“Kia Ora Readers” This term is a new start for term 3. Pt England schools new term topic is Go for gold. Go for gold is Ptenglands definition of saying The Olympics. This year is 2012.
4 years ago the Olympics were held at the capital city of China, Beijing.
This year The Olympics is at the capital city of England which is London.

On the Olympic Flag, you will see 5 different coloured rings. Each colours stand

The Olympics is a tournament that every talented Athlete goes to compete against other athletes around the world.The Olympic happens after every 4 years.

My Favourite Sport Netball



At the beginning of the Netball trials I was never interested in netball. All of my friends Vanila, Tule, Aniesha and Aliza were playing netball so I  felt left out . Vanila saw how I felt  left out so then she said, "come with us and play so you do not feel left out." The next day on Thursday I came to the netball trials, I was so nervous because I had no idea how to play .

On Monday we had to see who made it onto the team. I was thinking negative about making it and was so surprised when my friends came to me and said that I had made the team . I was excited and nervous at the same time because I knew the tournaments were only a few weeks away and I still wasn’t sure about my skills. I really had no idea of how to play.

My coach's name is Mrs Nua. Mrs Nua trains two teams, year 6 Team 2 and year 8 team 2 . I think that she is a very good coach. Every time we have a tournament she is always there to support both of her teams. If one of the netball players make a mistake she always say it doesn't matter you learn from your mistakes.

Next time, I hope I learn from my mistakes and make my team, my coach, and of course myself happy.
