A.F.L Sports

Research on the country?

The History of Australia refers to the history of the area and people of the Commonwealth of Australia and its preceding Indigenous and colonial societies. Aboriginal Australians are believed to have first arrived on the Australian mainland by sea from Maritime Southeast Asia between 40,000 and 70,000 years ago. The artistic,musical and spiritual traditions they established are among the longest surviving such traditions in human history.

Rules:  A.F.L is a sport played between two teams of eighteen players on the field of either an Australian football ground Or a modified cricket field, or a similarly sized sports venue. The main way to score points is by kicking the ball between the two tall goal posts. The team with the higher total score at the end of the match wins unless either a draw is declared or a tie-break which then will go into a golden point.

Skills:

Understand the basics of the game. Australian football, or "footy" as it is known the ball is also often referred to as the footy is played on a large oval field 135 - 185 meters long from goal and 110 -115 meters wide and has four large goalposts on each side of the field. Points are scored by kicking goals, which occurs when the football is kicked between the 2 middle goalposts, and behinds, when the ball is kicked through the outside goalposts. Goals are worth 6 points and behinds are worth 1 point. There are 18 players on each side, with 3 interchange bench players and 1 substitute on the side. The ball can be disposed of either by kicking or handballing bumping the ball with the fist similar to volleyball, and goals can only be scored by kicking the ball through the goalposts.

The equipment you need for AFL is football boots, AFL shorts and a AFL singlet. The most important thing you need is a mouth guard. You can have a head guard if you want to use one.

History

In 1857 Tom Wills was  one of the founders of Australian Football league after he returned to Australia after schooling in England where he was football captain of Rugby School and a brilliant cricketer. He advocated the winter game of football as a way of keeping cricketers fit during off-season.

The new game was devised by Wills, his cousin H.C.A. Harrison, W.J. Hammersley and J.B. Thompson. The Melbourne Football Club was formed on August 7, 1858 – the year of the code's first recorded match between Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar School.                                                                                    

Popularity:

In 1857 when A.F.L. was made there were 205,464. Now there are 23,344,735 people in Australia.

Movie Festival

Loading onto to the bus I sit at the end of the bus with my friend Lee. We were going to see a movie festival in the city and only 35 children could only go from different school The first 35 children that brang there 2 dollars and permission slip could go to the film fest.

As we got into town we stopped at a huge door which lead to a big cinema we were the first school that  arrived. Waiting for all the as we were waiting I looked up at the and saw roof and it looked like it was night time. There was stars on the roof. for 30 mins till the presenter came to the stage.

The movie that is my favorite was the dwarfs doing back flips into a pool. That was my favorite part of the day because the animation looked so real. And another animation I like was a green man talking about hair.

My Reading work

Immushion assembly

                                           Term 3 Immersion Assembly

Making our way into the hall I see different teacher’s in costumes. All of the teachers are all in costumes except for team 5 teachers. Because they did a movie about what they did in the holidays” The modo for this term is Game On” Mr j says “and we are all going to learn about the commonwealth  games. As i look to the hall all i see is miss Tito riding and triathlon bike. Out of nowhere  Mr Jacobson came down the middle of the hall and put another bike across from Miss Tito. The bike they he put a cross was a road bike That was made out of aluminum fiber and the mountain bike was made out of aluminum and the mountain had springs and the road bike didn't.

The first team that was going talk was team 1 the junior teacher’s. They were making a movie about the different teams that were competing in the commonwealth games. Like New Zealand, Jamaica, Canada and Fiji. But there was one funny countries that a teacher was competing in the commonwealth games it was america. Are you Shaw america in the commonwealth games oops  

I am supposed to be Samoa ha ha.

Team 2 is doing athletes competing in the commonwealth games. The people who are competing in the games I think are very brave because you're going to in a stadium where thousands of people are. But we also got a message from miss queen George about of model game on.

Team 3 was doing a much harder sport to do in the games which was  Rhythmic gymnastic. before they started they put up a pretty cool video of girls doing impossible  move to do. But when the teacher’s tried to do it i felt like it easy because they couldn't even do a twirl.

Team 4 I think for me was the best because they did a mash potato competition which was pretty cool the competitiveness where Jamaica,Canada,Scotland and India. The contender that wanted to win was the Jamaican because he look funky. The first person to go out was Canadian because his sculpted looked like a mountain the winner is Jamaican because he did a smiley face.

Team 5 was properly my second best because they went all around the world. They went to chili,NY,Spain,Samoa. I felt a bit jalise because mostly all the teacher went on holiday but you know what it was alright at home.

swimming

Some of the week’s class 5 has been doing swimming lessons at the glen innes aquatic center . We go  there because we need help to learn how to swim. So if we were far from the shore line  drowning we would know what to do we can swim to the shore because our instructor taught us how to swim.

We have already  gone swimming. But our class was just taking over another class swimming time because they weren't  going on there time. Splish splash kicking the water from off the edge of the pool today “class 5 will be having swimming lessons today” our instructor says

We walk back to school  at five mins to three o'clock. When we get back to class we grab our bag and go home.

Plant and food research

Rushing in the  line immediately I see class 5 , 4 and 3 walking into the street I was eager to look what was going on when I saw three amazing people named  Jacob,Lora and Lara from Plant and food research they came to our school to share different things about their work and why they to it and maybe show us some experiments.

Sitting on a bean bag I look over and see them doing an experiment with purple cabbage juice and vinegar the main thing about this experiment was that they can change the color of the fruit by adding a base combined to it.

after they did that experiment with the purple cabbage juice and white vinegar they start doing knew experiment with dry ice and hot water then Jacob tipped the hot water and dried ice in a lab bottle and it bubbled up like a volcanic eruption.

The last experiment that they showed was is it  solid, liquid or gas or in between. I choose liquid because It looked like dish washing liquid
