Week 6 Term 2.

This week on Wednesday the school held the winter games I participated in basketball. For our first game we played Mangapiko we were not playing to our best abilities as were they, We blocked and intercepted there passes and shots to keep up with them. For our next game we played Waikato and beat them by quite a lot. We beat them because they were quite clumsy with the ball and needed to work on their shooting. We once again did not play to our best abilities But were able to take out the win because we worked together and passed round the ball lots. For our last game we played our best but were unable to take the win against Waipa because they had more experienced players in there team and played as a team very well. We were unable to score very many points because they had very tall players in there team and were easily able to block our shoots and intercept our passes. Overall our house came second and are still coming second overall. This week I got another band it is my never give up band and only need about 15 more signatures till my bronze badge. This week in science We did lots more on gravity and physics also what makes a ball role. We learned about down force and if You include more forces you are able to move and stop the object If it is in motion. Adding another force is also able to start an object moving. We also learned that if the object is bigger in mass it takes more force to start and stop the object.
