Life Education Trust.!!!

For the last past three weeks Class 3 has been going to the Life Education caravan and has been learning about making good choices about our lives.. The life Education is learning about drugs and also making the right decision and have a good life to not follow others and also don’t listen to what other people say.

What we have learnt at the Life Education was about drugs, drugs is a really bad alcohol that destroy peoples body and that students in age 15 are also using alcohol which is really unsafe. Drugs can  and also damage peoples lungs and they can die from it like a Kings college boy died after drinking at his friend's Party. The lady called Lynn told us that we should always follow the right pathway because if you don’t your life will be a miss and you won’t wanna be the person you would like to be.

Lynn taught us that  kids our age are already drinking, smoking and going out partying but not focusing on school. Some peoples life a distracted by Drugs and alcohol because other people is following it when there friends are doing it. Some people take drugs just because they are playing sports and they need energy like people at the Commonwealth game was found that people was taking drugs.

The drug is not good  because you can damage your brain and you won’t think properly and also you won’t feel good. Your brain will also not work properly because too much drugs is in you body so it won’t work well how it always works, your brain is the most important of body because it control you and it also helps you think. Your brain can work really slow and you can die so you brain needs to keep on working so you can not die or sometimes drugs and just make you die when you use it to much.

Lynn also told us that making the right decisions is good because if you make bad choices you life will not take you anywhere because how you made the wrong chances. If you make the right choices you will have a better life and also don’t follow your friends because you should always make you own choices. If you friends are doing the wrong thing you don’t follow them you make your own choices because if you follow your friends your life will be a mess.

We learnt very good lessons there because it teaches us how to take care of ourselves when we need help and it also helps us throughout long lives as we are living I also learnt that taking drugs can lead to death because its not healthy for your body it also can damage the brain selles.

Basketball.

My sport is Basketball, I have chosen this sport is because I want to be a professional Basketball player one day because I find Basketball really interesting. Basketball is  kind of a simple game to play because its a really swift game and its difficult to learn. The reason I want to be a professional Basketball player is because I always watch Basketball and I wish that I can be like one of those professional Basketball players.

I know that Basketball is a really famous game in America, but not just in America but also around other countries. Basketball is a fun game that everyone will love to play and also enjoy because Basketball is the most fun game that I have ever played before and its really awesome.

Basketball was first played in Springfield at 1991, and the first game of Basketball was first  played at a school called  Springfield college. The person that invented Basketball was a man called James Naismith, James Naismith is a really famous person because he was the one that invented Basketball.

The rule for Basketball is similar to Netball, the rule for Basketball is that you are not allow to double dribble the ball that means you can’t run and then bounce the ball you have to either bounce the ball or pass it or if you are close to the shooter and can have a chance of shooting the ball. Also you can’t travel the ball it  means you can’t run with the ball all the way to the end of the court because that means you are travelling. The other rule is that you are allow to stand close to your partner and defend but you can’t hit them or try to contact with them or else you have to stand down.

The passion about shooting is that you are allow to shoot anywhere in the circle even outside of the circle. The thing about shooting in Basketball is that if you stand outside of the circle and you get it in you get three point for you team which is not the same as Netball. Shooting the ball at Basketball is really fun to watch because seeing the Basketball people shooting three pointer is really amazing.

No because when they were getting ready and getting the nets ready Ashleigh lifted up the goal and said the net weights a ton it means its really heavey.

How do you think the girls are feeling prior to their game? Is that they are feeling maybe nervous at the start but when they are playing they might be just alright.Put yourself in their shoes, how would you feeling/ how do you feel before playing a netball or rugby game? When I am ready for a game like Netball or Rugby I get really nervous and scared because people is watching and I get really shy sometimes.

“Jessica jumps high and deflects the ball” what does this mean? It means she stopped the ball coming into the net and she touched it with her fingernails and she defended the ball.

What are the girls doing prior to their game starting? Is that they are practicing some ball skills and practicing how to block the ball from coming.  Refer to the images at the top of page 6. For what reason are they doing this? The reason they are doing this is because they want to get better and also they are practicing because they want to win.

Frank urges the girls to not give up, what does it mean when you urge someone to do something? Urges means hes trying to make his team not give up and so they can try there best and not give up thats what it means.

In most sports games there is always a referee, what is the role of the referee? Is that in every game you have to listen to the referee because if you don’t you will get a red card or yellow card.

From reading the text, do you think soccer is a difficult game to play?  Why/why not. I think it is because you have to always use your feet to try to get to the goal but you are not allow to touch the ball with your hands.
