Touch Rugby Lessons

Today (Was our last day of touch) and the last three weeks, our school from Rooms 6 to 12 have been doing touch lessons with our new coach called Trevor. We also had a game of touch.

It was cool getting taught how to play the real proper ways of playing touch, and some skills to do while in an actual touch game against other people. We have learnt lots of skills for those three weeks and they all might help us in the future.

The only proper way that I learnt was Plant and that is when you put the ball under your legs and not roll it, just leave it in one spot and step over it then step back. Then we had a race in 3 teams, Our coach Trevor gave the 3 groups a ball each and we had to pass it to the person next to you and the person had to run to the front of the line and pass to the next person. Then we done the same one but we had to zigzag between every person in line and pass it to the next one. Then we played a passing game which is sort of like Pig, Donkey or whatever you want to call it and if you drop the ball you have to go in the middle.

I liked being taught all of those things because of coach taught us the best games to do when you are training for touch and also our coach was funny. Thanks to Trevor we all know how to play proper touch.

UB40

The reason I chose UB40 is because my dad got me into their music by listening to it while he drinks his beer or when he goes out in the van. I also choose the UB40 because they have nice and calm music to listen to while doing something and also can put you to sleep at night.

The UB40 had made lots of songs and some sound like reggae songs to me a bit just like how Bob Marley sings his song. I also like the beats of their music and how it’s a group that makes that beat and someone sings the song. There are 6 people in the band and most of them speak the same language and come from the same country, the both country they come from are  Birmingham and the United Kingdom. The band started advertising themselves before they even owned any instruments. Posters of UB40 were put up all over Birmingham by two of the founding members, Ali Campbell and Brian Travers.

The 6 people’s name Ali Campbell, Duncan Campbell, Robin Campbell, Astro, Horman Hassan, Brian Travers, Maxi Priest, Earl Falconer, James Brown and Michael Virtue. The best song they have ever recorded in history is called Red Red Wine and this is the link to the song (Red Red Wine).

I hope you liked reading about my favorite band and how I got in to them.

New Zealand collectively celebrated Guy Fawkes last night with Police and the Fire Service dealing with dozens of calls across the country. Three people were injured by fireworks two of them were seriously. Firefighters responded to more than twice the number of fireworks call-outs than last year in what they say was a very disappointing night. Guy Fawkes occurs on the 5th November each year. Fireworks are only allowed to be purchased by those over 18 and stores can only sell them for four days.

Fire Fighters and Rescue Service received an unusual call to help a bull get his head out of a tree trunk.The team were called to go and get the bulls head out at around 11:00 a.m. They found the bull with his head stuck in a tree trunk. It is amazing to see that they got the bull out with no damages. The bull was named ‘Billy’ by his rescuers and was free without any major injuries.
