A referee is only human they can't see everything that goes on in a game, but sometimes the angles and timing of the referee interfere with their decision making, which can cause a disruption in the crowd. It can also lead to harsh penalties and sometimes DEATH! It’s hard being a ref so I have decided to take the disagreeing side and show you that the refs should get a little more respect.

Hi I’m Bridget and I think refs are not always right, for instance in one of the world soccer championships they shook the world, this was because of the angle of the ref, he could not see that the ball had bounced over the line and so called it a no goal.

Also in a basketball game, one of the ladies had a shot at the basket and fell over with the momentum she had. But milliseconds before she fell over, a lady from the other team went by and it looked like she had pushed her over, this led to a red card from the ref and the lady that had “pushed her”  was off for most of the game for nothing!

I’ll say that refs make a couple of faulty decisions, last season in rep hockey the ball was shot at goal, but the goalie missed it, therefore making a teammate run after it! They got there just in time to save the ball, it was an inch from being over the line but yet the ref called it a goal! This led to our team losing and we only got third in the championships.

Most people rely on refs in games but you can take part in keeping them on track. Just by sticking your hand up if there needs a whistle can help a lot. They see some things and by sticking your hand up means they pay their attention to you. If they saw what happened they may not know if they were meant to blow the whistle, just by sticking your hand up reassures them of what their job is. I have done it in club hockey and they listen, well, OK they look.

Have you ever searched world's best ref decision? Of course, you haven't you probably searched for world's worst ref decision. If you have searched up worlds best ref decision you would find it mostly comes up with the worst decisions, this is because that no one cares about the good ones! I think that refs get a lot of pressure when reffing, it means that only the best refs get to ref the world championships, the bigger the games get the higher the stakes are of making a faulty call.

So, all in all, I believe that reffing can be hard and they need more respect! I still don’t want to be a ref but I am willing to still play sports, after all, it’s just a game.... right?

Proposed Hollyford/Haast Road

This road will make money like a person breathing the air we need this! Well get more tourists and more tourists mean money, the environment can handle it. It may be 2 billion dollars but the quicker we make it the more tourists will come and view it. And if we charge them the money we’ll get 2 billion dollars back in no time! It’s an investment we must make also if we make a road the elderly it! this project it definitely needed!

Disclaimer! This is not my view and don’t think this road should go ahead this was just a social studies project

rainbow warrior bombing 10 July 1985

“Get out of here squadron!!! “ I screamed at the top of my voice. Booooom! Those nasty french, they're bombing us but we won’t go down without a battle!

“OH GOD!” a bomb went off beneath my feet I was still alive and decided I needed to get outta there. I grabbed the emergency life raft and 5 others climbed in with us. I ordered an evacuation and we got off the boat. We were out at sea and finally returned home 3 days later. As I returned my wife was crying and hugged me super tight.

“I’m ok… we’ll be ok.” I whispered softly. That night the was footage of the bombing watching it flowed back memories. I lost my best friend that day, Fernando Pereira, tears dripped down my face.

2 years later a law was made. No more nuclear things in NZ!

“YAAAAAS” I yelled, my wife comes out and we celebrate with a cider each. 1995 memorial was held.  

This was a social study and I had to put myself in the shoes of one of the Greenpeace people

1981 NZ rugby rasicim

why do black people get to play!? it unfair and they probably get skills from their ancestors. I mean we don't get any tips they were the inventor of rugby they know what they can do and what not to do. so they can probably win easier! I want them to sit on the sideline so only white people play! that's fairer!  TBC

math starter the magic box

Basically, you have to arrange the numbers so that they don't add up to the same number, diagonally, rows and columns.
I just experimented a lot and got the answer in no time.

Math starter. IMPOSSIBLE?

Another Math starter!

It starts like this --->




and you have to make five squares...


So I did.

you may see four but
around the outside, there is a big square with four squares inside it.

I had a run and I was puffed...

Well, today is the cross country run. I hate these runs! First I got off to a good start with Amy, and we set a good pace, We got round the first field and around the block, but when we went for another lap around the motocross field and disaster struck. Amy tripped over the log! We walked back around the field and on the last stretch, Amy ran ahead I ran and caught up with her then at the last second I stretched my arm out and I think I got 3rd equal with her but I will find out sometime. The thing is that there were only four people, so of course I got a good place.

How to survive you camp back rooms!

How to survive your camp bunk rooms.  

Step 1: Choose an order  (like oldest to youngest) someone into pick which bed you sleep in.                                

Step 2: If you have a full bedroom then con someone into going in another room.                                                                                                                   

Step 3: Keep your clothes to yourself. Your stuff is to be in your own area, also keep your Room clean.

Step 4: if you have one person that can't sleep and they do not stop talking do not talk to them.                                                                                           

Step 5: if you want to have a warm night You should shut the windows in case it rains
or in case bugs get in.      
                                                   

Step 6: respect other people and their property and then you will have a fun camp.

Step 7: go to a bunk bed next to power Point. This means you can charge your Phone, iPod, etc.. and use it for a clock.                

Step 8: if you are a person that likes the light then get the bed with the window beside it.

Here I was in a dark, cold damp room. the only light I got was through the metal bars. never got much food, didn't get to see my family. When I thought I would die here, the door opened, I saw an outline of a person, but because the light was so bright it was a shadow.
"come out now," said the shadow. In an instant, I knew who it was... I run out the door and there I looked at the person, I could not see and I did not know if to run for my life or to stay and see why the person let me out, I stayed.
the person said in a voice, I almost remembered. " Jimmy Jimmy, how are you, my old friend," he asked"we are not friends! you framed me, that's why I am in here, you" I screamed. well after that, I had no Idea that my family was waiting at the door for me with lots and lots of food, but the thing that most impresses me was all day, every day I got to see the light. I love light, it is the most loved thing on the planet. And in my house, I get carpet and blankets, even a bed. It is much better than a dark, cold damp room, don't you think.
I could not imagine my house like that. and the most thing I love is that every night I get a kiss and a hug from all of my family, "yay I love home! Yay" well at least it is better than the dark cold, damp room anyway. "yay!" I run around looking for more food, I can;t wait to go to bed again! This was the craziest day EVER!!!

Drawing. It can be very fun and you can go into your own world of imagination! All you have to do is grab a piece of paper and get a pencil… as you can see here on the right this person has gone into his/her own world and drawn this, amazing right? Well anyone can do this and all you need to do is practice. There are lots of different types of drawing! And here I will tell you, what they are! Also, you will learn how to start and why.

Why you should start drawing. When you draw you can enter your own world of imagination! Just grab your pencil and get out of the world. It can also relax you, I have many times been in a fight with mom & dad, then just gone up to my room and drew, it helped me relax and I drew till tea time.

You can also make money from drawing stuff, I haven’t yet but I know you can!

How to get into drawing. In most towns like Greymouth, you can go to art classes. I did that for about 3 weeks and then it stopped. Also if you are older like 40yrs old you can go to stampin’ up parties, I have been to one with my mom and it’s really cool, so I am not going to spoil it. You can also start at home, go onto youtube and search up something like “ beginners guide to drawing .”

As time progresses you will get better and better at drawing, so I do suggest getting into drawing!

What happens if you get pro enough? Well, you can set up a stall in a local market and sell it, this means you get extra money, and can get into a new routine. Like on Sunday you sell your art, and then all through the week, you make MORE. You can get more customers, and more money, but make sure your art is good enough to sell!

In this drawing guide, you learned…

• Why you should start…
• How you can start…
• What happens if you turn pro…
• And what you need to start.

So I hope you think about starting and getting into it!! DRAW ON!!!

asTTle: Writing to Persuade. Topic: your opinion on fighting

“Bleep bloop blorp, GAME OVER The Axe Murderer won the #12 round do you want to play another round of Super Smash Bros?” the Tv screams at me I put my controller down the walk away. Today I am telling you, yes, I mean you… wait, don’t you believe me? Well… you're reading so I am guessing you're Intrigued, I am going to tell you what I think of fighting why It can be wrong and when it’s sometimes okay like defending yourself.

If you're trying to get a candy bar or something and then the shopkeeper accuses you of stealing and you have a go at him or her, that’s not necessary. I think you should just talk to him to ask why he thought you were stealing, you could just be going to the front of the shop to look at something else and you were going to come back to pay. It’s best not to start a fight in these situations. You can just talk.

Here is a scene where you can use self-defence like you find a robber getting away with, let's say some money, then you can tackle him and keep him from running away until the police come. Or maybe you're trying to protect someone you love, like you sibling, from a bear or someone who is a MANIAC TRYING TO KILL YOU!!! Sometimes your gut feeling could just save YOU. Wait you don’t believe me... well, don’t make me come out of the screen and come scream at you, cause I can TOTALLY do that… not. Back to the point self-defence is able to save you and anyone in the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD, I wish I could write bigger, (sad face).

But also fighting can be bad, and I am not talking about play fighting, I mean real fighting. If you kill someone fighting them you’re going to be sent to jail, unless you have a good lawyer. The consequences can be really harsh sometimes. But I mean play fightings ok, just make some rules up and you should be fine, as long as the person you are play fighting with is as weak or as strong as you are.

So if you agree with me fighting can be bad and well, good. Hope you learned something or you might have already known all this stuff. Have a good day and don’t die (cheeky smile). “Bleep bloop blorp, GAME OVER the head slayer won the #34 round.” roars the tv “ARGGHHH I can never win” I scream again.
