Futsal

Futsal, pronounced foot-sool is basically an indoor version of football. The rules are pretty much the same except, instead of a throw in it's a kick in and it's five vs five instead of 11 vs 11. Every Monday and Thursday, my friends and I go down to the civic centre to play. Depending on how many people there are, we play a game or we create three teams and if one team scores then, the other team goes off and the other one comes on.

Last time we tried to play a tournament. We would got sorted into four different teams and then each team would vs one another. Futsal is really, really fun and if your into football then I suggest giving it a go!

Film Review | Toki Pounamu Film Festival

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Film Review

------------------------------------------------------

Shortage of microphones causes headaches in primary school film making.

Yesterday at the Regent Theatre the Toki Pounamu Film Festival took place. Schools all over the Grey District burst out of the bus doors to observe the movies that the other schools have created. The seats filled up with Grey Main students first and then students from other schools started spilling through the doors like a tsunami. The first Film to roll on the big screen was one created by Paroa school featuring three of their students. Personally based on audio, graphics and just all around quality I think it was the best film to play that afternoon. Movies continued to roll up on the big screen that made students crack up and listen intensely. Some of the films audio wasn't to the best standard and nor was some of the camera quality. A few of the films used advanced green screen technology to improve the film and one school even used a drone! The Toki Pounamu festival is an amazing event and I think everybody loved it! 

Grandparents Day | 2019

Grandparents Day

-------------------------------------------------------------

On Friday last week, there was grandparents day. Grandparents day is when your grandparents come in and check out what you've been doing in your class. There were also some activities that you could do with your grandparents like make a grandparents profile and others. Sadly my grandparents couldn't come because they live on the other side of the world in Denmark...

All the grandparents came into our assembly as guests and saw our presentation and certificates as well. I think that grandparents day is a really good idea to share your learning publicly!

Book Review | Skulduggery Pleasant: The Death Bringer

Blurb:

The Death Bringer has risen. Skulduggery and Valkyrie have seven days to uncover the Necromancers' secret before it's too late. The clock is ticking. Lord Vile is loose. And after this one, nothing will ever be the same again.

This book is the sixth book in the Skulduggery Pleasant series and in my opinion is one of the best ones. There are 15 books in the series and I'm reading the seventh one at the moment. The series is all about a secret world of sorcerers that are in plain sight but you never know about it.

There are two main characters in this story, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain. Valkyrie's real name being Stephanie Edgley. This specific book is about necromancers and the Death Bringer which is supposedly going to open a passage between life and death. I won't spoil the entire plot but I seriously consider reading this book. I persuaded my friend into reading the series and he's already on the second book. He got the first one out about three days ago and he loves it!
