All Blacks vs France Haka 2011- RWC Final

All Blacks Vs France

It was 5:30 and I got in my car and I was on my way to Eden park. The traffic was like a crowded concert. I arrived at Eden park at 6:50 pm and was very excited reffing the 2011 rugby world cup final. The game was coming to a start and the fans were shouting like lions and waiting for the teams to come out and sing the national anthem. After everyone sang the national anthem with pride and dignity, it was now time for the mighty All Blacks to do the exclusive haka we have all been waiting for. Piri Weepu leading this exciting haka with the crowd screaming and shouting on his side, during this wonderful haka led by Piri Weepu France hold each others hands and walked up to the halfway line and walked very slow passed it. The haka was extremely good and as I ran on the field and the crowd already waiting for this extreme game. I blow my whistle to start the game and with the all blacks starting with the ball Piri Weepu goes for the kick and boots it strait to the outline. I blow my whistle and I say ‘ scrum to France at the half way line.

Why you should wear uniform...

I THINK THAT WE SHOULD WEAR UNIFORMS BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS OUR SCHOOL AND WILL MAKE YOU FEEL PROUD.

FIRSTLY, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IF WE WEAR NO UNIFORM PEOPLE WILL ASK WHAT SCHOOL DO YOU GO TO? THIS WILL BE EMBARRASSING FOR YOUR SCHOOL.

SECONDLY, I THINK WE SHOULD WEAR UNIFORM BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS WON’T SPEND HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON YOU BUYING DIFFERENT CLOTHES FOR YOU TO WEAR.

I THINK YOU SHOULD WEAR UNIFORM SO YOU WONT BE THE ODD ONE OUT WHEN YOU SEE YOUR FRIENDS WITH THEIR UNIFORM ON.

BY GERSHOM TUI

You have to wear uniform!

It is important to wear uniforms for school because you look tidy in assemblies. It will make you look proud to be part of your school. 


First, if you wear mufti it that means that your parents have to do laundry and spend money on laundry powder. 


Second, it means your parents have to buy more and more clothes for you. You will feel proud when your out at sports tournaments and events. You don't waste as much money on uniforms than you would on clothes.


So its better to have uniform because it saves money and it makes you feel proud.

By Chas Ngaha

UNIFORMS!

I believe we should wear uniforms because they everyone looks the same and schools look tidier.

First of all, if you are representing your school when you go to sporting events or trips people will know what school you come from.

Second of all, your school uniform can last the whole week, so you dont have to bring your own clothes to school and get them dirty.

Thirdly, it makes your school tidier because everyone wears the same thing everyday.

Therefore I believe that our school should wear school uniforms to school.

UNIFORMS

I believe that schools should wear uniform so that student's don’t have to waste their time finding other clothes to wear for the day.

First of all, schools should wear uniform because it helps people to identify what school you got to and stops the competition between people over what they are wearing each day.

Second, uniforms should be worn at school so that our parents wouldn’t have to waste the house power to wash our clothes everyday. Uniforms can be worn all week and washed in the weekend.

Thirdly, schools should wear uniform because there will be no extra expenses on clothing we buy.

Therefore schools should have uniforms because it represents their school and makes our family proud of us wearing it.

By Leu Patu 

Should we wear school uniforms?

Uniform should be worn at every school because schools like to be represented, and without uniform how is that going to happen? If uniform was worn at school there won’t be any case of people being late from choosing what to wear or worrying about what they look like.

Firstly, I firmly believe that uniform is a good choice because if we were doing admirable work outside of school grounds the community would recognize your uniform.

Secondly, if we wore mufti clothing we would have to wash all our clothes, but with uniform it lasts the whole week before needing to be washed.

Thirdly, when you go to sporting events and other trips people will take interest in our manners and talents.

So I strongly believe that children should wear uniforms because it makes life easier.

WHY SCHOOLS SHOULD WEAR UNIFORMS!

I believe we should wear school uniforms because student's don't have to wear that many different clothes and it also makes our school look tidier.

First, parents or students don't have to wash that many clothes. You can wear the same uniform every school day, then wash it in the weekend.

Secondly, if people see you they know what school you go to. This is important when we go on school trips or to sports tournaments.

Thirdly, wearing a school uniform gives you a sense of pride as you go on your way to school or on the way home.

I strongly believe we should wear school uniforms for these reasons.

BY FELIX FOTUNGA.

SCHOOL UNIFORMS.....

I believe that school uniforms should be worn because wearing your school uniform makes it a lot easier for teachers and parents.

First of all, uniforms are worn for many reasons including the fact that it would be easier to spot a family member or student. It also saves a lot of time and money washing this little bit of clothing, no matter how many siblings you have.

Another great reason for wearing uniforms to school is because without them, students would think its some kind of fashion show and take what they are wearing too seriously.

Uniforms are known again to represent schools and other things like jobs and stuff. Uniforms save time and space in your draws, washing baskets and closets. Uniforms help when you have done something good and somebody wants to identify that.

AND Those are my reasons in why school uniforms should be worn.

Randwick Park School Counties Rugby Champs 2011

Check out the awesome Central Counties Under 55kg team win the Counties Championship!

Narrative Writing

COOPER FOR THE KICK


“Only three more minutes boys!” yelled the coach. The score was even between these two brutal teams. Quade's team had the penalty kick. There he was, focusing on the post.   He gently moved his arms back and twinkled them around with nervousness. He took a couple of steps back from the white and cyan ball. Still focused on the post, he thought of all the fans on the bleachers, waiting, waiting for the ball to sail between the posts. Then in an instant, his bulky arms tightened as he ran towards the ball. Every step that this young, tanned man took, he could feel the sprigs of his boots stabbing into the grass as if cutting into a Christmas ham. Then BOOM!!! His hard legs smashed the ball into the air! He stood there, nervously watching the ball approach the goal posts. The crowed was screaming with anticipation, all of a sudden, donk! The ball had smashed the post and rebounded back onto the hard leaf green grass of the stadium. Quade lowered his head to the ground, feeling shamed, feeling sorry for letting down his team and his fans.

COUNTIES RUGBY TOURNAMENT 2011

Randwick Park Under 55kg Counties Champions!

On Thursday 16^th of June, our under 55kg team of rugby players went to the Counties Championship tournament at Bruce Pulman Park. When everyone stepped off the bus, they hoped they were going to win. Our first team that we had to verse was East Counties. The score was 26-0. In our second game, we fought against Rosehill Intermediate. The final score was 15-0, another win to us. The next game was the semi-final against Greenmeadows Intermediate, it was pretty straight forward. The score in the end was 20-0. This meant that we were going to verse North Counties in the Under 55kg final. We managed to beat them 10-0. If you didn’t notice the scores, we beat every team by 0. That was awesome to watch our team dominate on the field. At the prizegiving we were awarded ‘Under 55k’g Counties Champions for 2011. Chas Ngaha was awarded a special prize for being the overall Under 55kg player of the tournament.

AUCKLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS SOFTBALL - BOYS'

Softball this year was awesome! We won the Central Counties and the Counties tournaments, and then we went on to represent Counties in the Auckland Championships.  Although we did not come first place, we all had a lot of fun. In pool play we won two games and had the chance to play off for fifth or sixth.  We won the game and were placed fifth overall which was a great effort.  We took two students from Takanini School. They were Rasta, a really good pitcher, and Peni, a home run hitter.  They helped us a lot along the way.  Thanks to Theo, Jess, Mrs T and Miss Doran for supporting us in the three tournaments we went to.

RED AND BLACK DAY!!!!!

On Friday the 4th of March, Randwick Park School held a RED and BLACK day to raise money for the Canterbury Earthquake fund. Room 22 decided we would sell (red and black) iced biscuits and coke (black) and raspberry (red) spiders to make extra money.

Firstly, we had to learn how to make butter icing (yummy!) to decorate our biscuits. We used food colouring to make it red and black. To make our biscuits look and taste even better we used jelly crystals, chocolate hail and lollies on top.

At interval we sold our creations - they were very popular! At the end of the day we had made $185.20.  Thanks to all those who supported us by buying our food and drink!
