Kia ora! Hi, Noah here and this week we had Football trials for school.

For the trial we played a total of 3 games 2 games each though. For the first game I played I was striker, The game had started and we won the ball from the other team, and almost scored. Later though we weren’t so lucky and conceded a goal. My team and I wanted to step up so when we got the ball, Max passed to me I dribbled passed 4 defenders with a move called La Croqueta when you like slide the ball from one foot to the other, anyway then I through balled it to a person called Louie and he tapped it in for the equalizer then we were on a roll a few minutes later they passed it to their gk and he tried to boot it, but one of my teams players slid for it and somehow deflected it into the goal to make it 2-1 we weren’t going to stop their either. Max passed to me I took a touch then saw the gk off his line and slotted it bottom corner. Then we got another with Ollie getting it I cant remember how exactly but I remember us getting it then the other team got one off a quick corner catching us off guard. But then Max got a goal close up, it was not 5-2.

The teachers called us in for the next match, I volunteered to be ref, I didn’t do much but it was fun.

For the final match of the day I was playing RW, Straight off kick off we scored, Because Hunter passed to Ollie, Ollie passed to me, I crossed it in with a low cross and Mikah scored bottom corner. later in the match I got the ball and shot from a wee way out and it was straight at the keeper but it just slipped from his hands, because it was just a too bit powerful for him and it was 2-0 and end of game.

It was really fun and we get another trial next week and Im hoping I and every one else does well.

What do you like to play for sport?

For writing we have to make a story, Starting off we always have to do a plan. For the plan it has bullet points and we have to shorten the story to make it fit. my story was called Devils Deal it was based on a person called Enzo. a short summary of the story is Enzo and his friends were playing football when the older kids came to them and asked ¨can we play?¨ then said ¨ if we win we keep the field you win we never bother you you cankeep the field and well give you a toy world cup they agreed on the day it kicked off 12th min Enzo scored bottom corner then last minute facundo scored and they won. and I´ve made different colors for different type of sentences.

here is a look at my story to have a better understanding of what happend.

we had a max of 250 words. the extra words are just showing what color means what sentence.

Have you made a short story?

Kia ora. Kei te pēhea koe? Ko Noah Toku Ingoa. This is about my dream job.

My dream job is to be a footballer not only you need good agility but also strength, Speed, Acceleration, and a very stong foot but it also includes how to stregthen your foot if your bored you could play it on the weekends and there are different positions including:

1st Postion goal keeper the most important position because you need good reflexes also strong hand, fast reactions and you are he person to try and put your body on the line to stop someone scoring.

Defensive positions: In defense there can be a centre back, left back and, right back for centre back you need to be strong, have good aerial abilty, and need to be fast to run back on counter attacks. For left back you need to be fast have good agility and have a good strong and weak foot the same can be said about right back depending on what you play wingback, fullback, attacking wingback, or falseback.

Midfield Positions: for midfield there is a bit more than defense, it includes centre midfield, right midfield, left midfield, centre defensive midfield, and centre attacking midfield. For centre midfield you need to have everything like: Speed, strength, Agility, finishing, defense and attacking atributes for Centre defensive midfield also known as cdm you are the same as centre midfield/CM but you sit a little bit deeper and for centre attacking midfield/CAM you are the same as CM but you are a little higher. Right midfield and left midfield you are on the wing pouncing to get the ball.

Attacking Positions: There are Right Wing/RW, Left wing/LW, and Striker/ST. for ST you need to be fast, strong and wise to make the right decision same to be said about on the wing but you need to have good dribbling and speed to cut down on the wings.

One of the reasons I play is because of my idol Lionel Messi. He is good at everything his weak foot is class his dribbling is perfection and his link up play is wonderful he has won 4 UCLS 1 World Cup and and amazing 8 ballon D´ors wow he plays in MLS for Inter Miami and for Argentina football national team he is my idol and I want to be like him.

one of my favourite teams are Fc Barcelona they have their very own style of tactical play called tiki taka where you pass alot, did you know they once had 1000 passes in a game.

What is your favourite team?

Tēnā Koutou for the past 2 weeks we have been doing a training for the upcoming cross country and winter sport.

We have been trying to get more fit. We have been doing stuff like hanging, Prone hold, Wall sits, and running.

for one thing I found interesting was a jump where you have no run up you just jump and see how far you jumped.

You got to have 3 tries on my first try I think I jumped quite far but that comes with a risk because if you fell down thats you turn and your out which was exactly what happeng to me, on my second go I tried to make sure I wouldnt fall down so I jumped not as far but I landed it for  my second turn I got 73cm. on my third attempt I wanted to leave it on a bang, thats not how it went though I went further than a metre but I just fell down.

My learning goal was to get fitter which so far I think I have a tiny bit, its only been 2 weeks though!

We do this once a week on a thursday our sports day.

The 2 trainers our some men from our school that help us with work.

They wanted to help us get fit so thats what they did.

Before every actual test they take us for a warm up, a tiny jog and some open gate close gate gets our warm up.

I really like it and hope its next year too.

If you had the chance to do it would you?

Kia Ora I’m Noah.

Today in Maths we have been asking People in my team their favourite colour, How they get to school, If there car is powered by petrol, Hybrid or Electric and What there favourite sport is.

We had to create a graph about our results on a Google sheet. The Link below is Mine

Have you done a graph like this before?

Kia ora I’m Noah.

Yesterday 12 June 2024 the NZ Opera came to my School the did a play called the elixir of love where a boy called Nemorino owned a fish and chip shop he fell in love with a women called Adina and then a popular boy called Alfred came and took her away Nemorino got mad and got a love potion that was really l&p he got it from a specialist called Taylor became Adinas friend and Nemorino won over Adinas Heart.

Has a Opera ever came to your School or have you been to a Opera?

Kia Ora I’m Noah.

This week in Reading we had to do a book review. For My book review I did Grandpa’s Great Escape. I did it because I’ve Read it and liked it and I want more people to read it to because it has decent amount of pages good entertainment and its funny. We had to answer some questions like what was your favourite part of the book? and what is this book about? This is what I did.

The hardest part about doing a book review is choosing which book your doing because there’s millions of book’s in the world and you have to choose one of them.

The funnest part of doing a book review is doing your favourite part because you remember your favourite part and entertains you again.

Did that make you more interested in Reading Grandpa’s Great Escape?

Hi I’m Noah.

This week in maths we had to work out the volume of a box using  centre meter cubes.

For volume you have to times the length,width and height to get the answer of the volume for the box.

The next day I was independent the teacher chose the groups my group had to work out the volume of the box so we timesed the length with the width with the height when we got the answer we had to swap boxes with other people.

Then the next day I was on the mat we got given 48 centre meter cubes and make a 3d shape with them and then we found out whatever we times we got 48.

Today we used multilink cubes and we had a max of 36 cubes to make a 3d shape and times the volume.

3cm3. height

This is an example you have to times the width height and length.

4cm3.

5cm3.

5cm3. x 4cm3. x 3cm3.=60cm3.

Did you know what volume was before this?

In PBL I have been learning to PBL learning Pit

I had to create a Poster using Google drawing in My Drive to show That you need fall and get back Up

Something that I learned was You need to fail to succeed

Something I found interesting was everyone fails

Something that I found challenging was that you had to make a poster and make someone go down a hill then back up.

Example:Lionel Messi, he was very poor and nobody wanted but he didn’t give up and now he is the best football player in the world.

When Have you Felt like you have failed then Succeeded?

This week we had to create a timeline about Oscar Romero on your drive or Canva I did mine on Canva there is some of his quotes this is mine.
