Leadership Is The Key!

Basketball a sport that needs team work, communication, and leadership. In Basketball rules (book), there are two girls who have a huge passion with basketball. They are trying their best to improve their skills. Setting high goals, and achieving it, will encourage and inspire others. 6 days a week is about swimming. Needing confidence, determination and commitment to this sport. A girl who wanted to be an Olympian in the future, she tried her hardest to be the best she can. She never gives up, and if she fails she starts again. Having perseverance is really important to sports. All 3 girls, have great determination, respect, confidence, leadership, perseverance. This is what makes a great solo/team player.

Save Me George!

this article  George was a hero.

George was a Jack Russell dog who saved five children who were attacked by two Pit-Bulls. The dogs initially targeted the smallest child of the group. George moved the Pit Bulls focus from the child to him.  George risked his life, unfortunately George was bitten so badly, that he had to be put down.

______________________________________________________________________________

George’s action showed that he was a  loving, determined, and protective dog.  In comparison to the thick build of the Pit Bulls, George was a small dog, but very athletic that meant he was very fast and strong. George knew that thinking and protecting the kids is a good thing, rather than just thinking of himself. The act of George showed that he was a fearless dog even against larger dogs. His actions were also evidence that he was courageous and confident. For the bravery and remembrance of George he was awarded several medals of bravery and a statue of him was sculpted and stands in the town of Manaia in Taranaki.

BEST ADVERTISEMENT EVER

This ad was awarded for the best advertisement for 2014.

The author has presented to me emotionally about giving to people who have nothing. He/She has started the ad with a caring choice of a man that placed a dead plant onto some pouring water. The author has used a mother and a daughter living in the streets, and a man comes up to donate money to the girl. This catches the audience's attention because people will think the man is so compassionate and generous. At the end everyone changed. All the people who the man helped is now happy.

The author has cleverly repeated the same actions the man did to see the change of the people who he helped. The writer has written that the dog is an abandoned dog and the man came to help the dog to eat. At the end the dog was a loyal pet to the man. The author has made the man help all the people who needs help. This gets the audience attention that there are people who have a lot and should give to the poor.

Would You Want To Play With The Olden Days Rugby Balls?

Problem:

In 1880's, rugby balls were made out of pig's bladder and leather, and was inflated with your mouth.

Solution:

They covered ball with leather then placed an outside layer with rubber. The Rugby ball is rubber, so that the people who are using them will have more grip. They finally filled it with air, so it doesn't smell bad.

Clouds, Clouds, Everywhere!

What Are Clouds?

Clouds are evaporated water from the ground, they can also be black, grey, white and orange and red blended together.

Clouds can come from factory smoke or evaporated water from the ground. It can be also a visible mass  of liquid droplets.  It can be also be frozen, tiny crystals.

Clouds can from 500 meters from the ground up to 15 000 meters. ( 49 492 Feet) Clouds are usually on troposphere of the atmosphere. Troposphere is  621. 78 meters from the ground.

Troposphere is where the cloud limit is, clouds can’t go any higher than 16,000.

When clouds are red it could be because the sun is setting or the sun is rising in the morning. If the clouds are white it means it will be a fine and sunny day, but if the clouds are black or grey it may start to dribble then to rain hard. But when the clouds are covering the sky with no view from the the sun, that tends to mean that it will rain hard and there might be a hail storm, with thunder and lighting.

Clouds are good for us because without clouds we might not be able to tell what will happen. Will it be a fine day, a stormy day, a breezy day?
