Rip Current

Swimming alone in a rip current with no adult is a bad idea. Why? Well because if you get taken out by rips then you might not know what to do. Keep reading and you will find out what some important information about what rips is, also what to do when you are caught in a rip.

If your wondering on how to avoid a rip then here's some information for you. To avoid a rip, you should be swimming between the red and yellow flags because it is the safest area to swim. If you have no adult then stay out of the ocean.

If a line or foam /seaweed or debris is moving towards seaward then it’s a sign that's telling you that there's a rip. Also in the ocean there will be a area that will have a notable colour in the water. You will see that there’s a break in the incoming wave pattern.

If you get caught into a rip the first thing you would think of is to try and stand up, If you can’t stand you put your hand up high and reach for the sun until something see’s your in trouble. But if you're at a beach with no lifeguards anywhere around then you should at least lay on your back and float like a starfish until you are taken out of the rip.

The best thing is to make sure you swim between the red and yellow flags and  if you're in doubt stay out. Don’t ever get into water until your parents are watching you and making sure you’re safe. Make sure you swim between the flags and DON’T EVER GO TO THE BEACH WITHOUT AN ADULT.

EMPATHY,

Imagining The World Without Empathy,

Walking home and seeing people getting bullied and hurt by each other is not the way that we are supposed to be treating each other. This is what the world would be like if we have no empathy in ourselves, So if there was no empathy in the world then we would be seeing everyone fighting all day and night non stop.

The way to show empathy is to put yourself and other peoples shoe and make sure to help one another out. Understanding why there unhappy and why they're having a bad time. Be a true friend and always help them out every time they're going to through hard times. Also when you’re walking around school you can show empathy by making sure everyone is happy and treating each other like family. Helping the teacher out in class is also showing empathy.

The reason why it important to show empathy is because when you're growing up in life and see people getting pushed around and teased you would know what to do. Empathy is also important because you wouldn’t want to walk around where you live and see everyone been disrespectful to other and fighting. So respect each other and and show empathy when someones feeling down.

The best thing to do when you go travel around places is to show empathy and make sure everyone feels welcome. If you’re imagine the world with empathy then you would think our world would be bad and no one would be happy. So put yourself in other peoples shoes and make sure you are empathetic to each other.

Term 4.

Walking into the hall all I see is the teachers dressed in beautiful bright colours. As I walked to the hall I said to Tyla.“ I wonder what the theme is for today” . “ It says over there”Tyla Responds ”That's our theme Art Attack”. “ Oh YOOOOOOOOOOOO” I said LOUD. I couldn’t wait until team 1 -5 showed us what their team is going to study for this term.

Watching team 4 perform and tell us what they're going to be doing this term I wonder to myself, Are they going to learn about Jackson Pollock and also paint the Jackson Pollock does. There were four famous painters standing on the stage. Andy Warhol was a pop art, Fatu Fe’u was a Samoan and drew flower patterns, Vincent Van Gogh had an bandaged ear, Pablo Picasso style of painting was cubism, Monet Has a french accent and George Seurat’s style of painting was pointillism dots.

They all Introduced himself and told  us what kind or style painting there into. Most of these painters lived in Auckland and Designed picture for companies Westpac. It was really interesting hearing from where they come from and what they paint. My favorite artist was Vincent Van Gogh because he had an bandaged ear but still could paint which was really interesting. I think that team 4 was the best performance for me because it was interesting for me and they told us about the artist and what they do.  Only If I was related to one for these artist I would be happy because I would be an artist as well. BUT REALLY.

“ I think this term is going to be a messy term ” I Responded to Ane. I can’t wait until we get into the middle or this term because painting is really fun and I also enjoy doing art.  Thank you to all the teachers who picked Art Attack for this term. Term 4 HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT.

Muggle Quidditch. ( Common Wealth Games )

Muggle Quidditch:

Quidditch is a game that has been played on a movie called Harry Potter. Quidditch was invented by JK Rowling the author of the Harry Potter series. JK had a reason why this game was invented. She said that she designed the game in a Manchester hotel room after rowing with her then boyfriend.

Quidditch is a co-ed contact sport with equipment used from Rugby, Dodgeball and Tag. The equipment that you use is a broomstick and round balls. Also you will need 3 hoops for each teams scoring goals.

Rules For Quidditch:

Equipment:

Brooms, Small Medium Large Hoops, Balls,

All players can play while riding a broom, So feel free to use brooms or not up to you.

Teams: Chaser, Beaters

Rule 1:  Each player has to have (1 goalkeeper).

Rule 2:  Place one softball and two other hard balls in the middle or the field. The soft and hard balls should atleast be slightly deflated do they are easier to throw and catch.

Rule 3: Game has started. Both teams each start from the edge and attempt to obtain the soft ball and the other hard balls.

Rule 4: Chasers have to try to score by throwing the softball into one or the three goals or the hoops. Each score is worth 10 points. The beaters have to try peg players with the hard balls.  Such as if a player from the other team get pegged by the beaters they will need to stop what they're doing and go back to their goal; i.e.

( The team player that got pegged will have to drop the soft ball in the case or a chaser will need to touch their goal post or sit down for at least 10 seconds. The keepers will need to block the goals if the chaser try to score.  

Rule 5: The sense or the game quidditch is to score as most points and then the games ends when the seeker snatches a snitch
