At the moment we are learning in our inquiry about Tibet, China and the Olympics. We have watched many interesting videos and have all got different point of views. I think that China isn’t showing the truth and is making everything looks beautiful. Even though most of the videos are the people who made there point of view. It still shows you heaps. You may have heard that in china there is a one child policy. But actually you can have more than one child if you live in an rural area. Also if you can have more than one child to help out on the farm. So the one child policy has major bends. Also about the one child policy. The male has to be 22 and the female has to be 20 to get a birth permit and gave a baby. Otherwise you have to sell your baby or pay the fine. We have also watched a video about the stolen children and how some people in china risk there lives to find other peoples children. There is heaps that people in the world don’t know about china so go onto you tube and you could learn something new.
Last night I played basketball for my team the Fruitloops. We were facing my cousins team The Tylers. At the start we were pretty even then The Tylers broke out and were up 24-2 at half time. We were fitter than most of their team and could run down the court faster but we couldn’t shoot. Soon it was 34-4 and we were getting toasted. I was the first person to be pulled up for three seconds in the keyhole and a foul on the shooter. In the end it was 64-11 to them and we didn’t care it was fun to play against them and I’ll beat their team next year after all we beat them last year.
On Saturday our netball team the TAI Soldiers were fighting to win against TAC 9C. They started off with five players so we should of took the lead but at quarter time it was 6-3 to them. It was then that we stepped up and shot into the lead. We were in the lead but then there came the contact. There was lots of contacts from the other team and our shooters after half time. We were still in the lead when it was three quarter time and we keep pushing our selves to get a higher amount of points even though the highest is three points. In the end we won 22-16 it was a really hard game and we are lucky we had good shooters that day. Now about the points you get 1 point if you loose between 3 points so if the score was 14-12 you wouldn’t get a point but if it was 14-11 you’d get 1 point. Then if you draw you get 2 points and if you win you get 3 points. We have won 2 games lost 1game and drew 1 game so we are looking forward to the other games this season.
Last Friday I trialed for the Belmont year seven girls netball team to go to Belmont for two days to play netball. After the trial the teacher who was taking it miss Hagen said she would put the names up on the notice board for who got through to the second trial. It was Friday so on Monday when I got to school I checked and saw that I had got in. The next trial was on Tuesday which was tomorrow at lunch. However the next day it was raining so we couldn’t trial. On Thursday we trialed again and again she said she would put it up on the board. So today I looked and I had been put down as a reserve so if somebody pulled out I would be in. Unfortunatly I hadn’t got into the traveling team but I’m happy that I got into the second trial.
