Earthling Report

This week we had imagine we were a alien that came to earth and found a stack of magazines and read them. Then we had to write a report about what they thought people looked like and what they do, just for reading the magazines. This is my report.



Hello my people,
Today I have discovered earthlings. You see I was climbing aboard a spaceship then before I knew it the spaceship took off heading towards a blue and green beautiful planet and I seem to have landed on this planet. As I have now learnt earthlings have everything! Lightly tanned skin unlike us and long gorgeous hair. Everywhere I look they are to be having fun, smiling while showing off their shiny white teeth in two perfect straight lines.

Earthlings have odd things on there feet that seem to be called shoes the females wear high heels on the backs of their shoes. The materials they wear on their skin they call clothes are bright bold and colourful. But wait there's more, the device they hold in their hands is called a phone that can control everything up to the big, new and fashionable cars they drive. Amazing right. There is never a dull day on earth, It's always bright and sunny. Every minute of every day is spent outdoors or doing useful activitys. The muscles they grow on their stomachs and legs are surprisingly attractive. Woman grow fat when they have a baby in there stomach.

The houses they live in are large and most often white and shiny. Woman grow fat when they have a baby in there stomach. They grow hair on their heads that get styled to suit what they are doing that day. The amount of products they apply to there faces is ridiculous but it pays off their skin it perfect no flaws whatsoever. Now you know as much as I do about Earthlings and their planet do you agree with me and think they are perfect!

Round About Rugby

In maths we have been working on Round About Rugby. The maths part to this was to apply our understanding of scales, chart and timetables to find possible outcomes/combinations.



We have been approached by the Havelock North Rugby Club to organise a round robin tournament for the six 7th grade teams that they have competing.
The six teams are called:
Anacondas
Bears
Cats
Dingos
Eagles
Falcons

The instructions we have been given are that;

  • Each team plays each other team only once.
  • There are two fields available for the games. North and South Fields.
  • There is to be a half hour break for lunch to rest the referees.
  • Each game is played for 30 minutes, with a 10 minute break between games.
  • No team will play more than two consecutive games.
  • Kick off is 9am.



 The way I worked this out was:
Ab,AC,AD,AE,AF,BC,BD,BE,F,CD,CE,CF,DE,DF,EF
