The first activity the blue team did was throwing a tennis ball into the hoops. I'm not sure what the yellow team and green team did because I'm not in the group. 
There isn't just anyway to throw a ball. The correct way is like this:

1. Put your feet apart(not to far apart that you end up doing the splits).
2. Then you step back, and pull your arm back.
3. Next you need to aim (if you want) 
4. Step, then Throw. 

Here is a video of me throwing a tennis ball. 

In the comments tell me what group you're in. 

I hope you enjoyed this blog, see you next time.

Literacy blog post

 Hey guys. This blog post for today is about literacy. For my literacy blog post I am going to talk about my essay that I did for my report and I will show you my essay. 

For writing #1 I did an essay about the cheetah and jaguars. This essay that I did was a compare and contrast essay. A compare and contrast essay is you have to compare to animals or anything that you want to compare. Here is the layout. This layout is going to be for an animal. INTRODUCTION SIMILARITIES DIFFERENCES your animal DIFFERENCES your next animal CONCLUSION. Here is my writing.

Both the Cheetah and Jaguar have some similarities and some unique differences. Both animals on the outside are very different but research shows they are more similar than most people  assume.

Similarities

The Cheetah and Jaguar both belong to the family of big cats. The group of animals in the family of big cats are Cheetahs, Jaguars, Leopards, Lions, Puma, Cougar, Panther, Mountain lion, Snow leopard and Tiger. The animals in the family of big cats don’t all look the same. Some have patterns and some have just one color all over their body.

Both the Cheetah and Jaguar are Carnivores. Jaguars in the wild eat mostly every animal they lay their eyes on. Cheetahs on the other hand are a little bit more fussy They only eat these animals, Gazelles, Wildebeest, Impalas, Hares, Antelopes and Warthogs.

The Cheetah and Jaguar are both mammals. They both give birth to Live young and feed them milk till they are old enough to care and feed them self.

Both the Jaguar and Cheetah communicate with sounds and Grunts. Cheetahs and Jaguars are very good at using sounds and grunting to tell other animals to back off or to tell them something important.

Differences

Cheetah

The cheetah can turn in mid air at speeds up to 120 k per hour in just 3 seconds. The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world. They can reach speeds up to 113 k per hour. Cheetahs are faster than usain bolt. Usain bolt can reach speeds up to 27.44 per second. The cheetah can reach speeds up to 113 k per hour. When they hunt they have to increase their speeds but then they have to decrease their speeds when they're closer to their prey so they don’t scare off they're prey. Cheetahs can accelerate from 0 to 100km per hour. As you can see cheetahs are very fast.

Cheetahs communicate with growling and purring. Cheetahs purr like a cat. That would be because cheetahs and cat’s are related in a way. Growling is like purring except it’s more aggressive.

Jaguar

Jaguars communicate by roaring unlike cheetahs. Jaguars and cheetahs do communicate with sounds and grunts but both of them have at least one different way to communicate. The Jaguars extra way to communicate is by having different tones in they're growling.

Jaguars are the longest animal in the americans. They can grow from 63 to 77 cm in length. You may think that this makes Jaguars fast but in actual fact they're not slow and not as fast as cheetahs.

Conclusion

Although they are similar they can be very different but you never know until you research.

Hope you enjoyed. See you next time!!!

My favorite blog posts

Hi guys and welcome back. This is my first blog post for week 7 and term 3. Today I'm going to blogging about my 2 of favorite blog posts. My first favorite blog post is Lake Taupo. Here the blog post is.

                                    Lake Taupo
Have you ever been to lake Taupo or Taupo itself?
 FACT: Taupo was a volcano but blew its top off. That's why Taupo is so deep. Some people say that people in China could hear the big eruption. I  have been to Lake Taupo and it is AWESOME!!! You can swim in
the clear water. 
FACT: Lake Taupo's water is fresh water not salt water.
If you bring a boat you could go wild on the lake. When I went with  my uncle we went to a  carving in a cliff actually in the side of the cliff.
FACT:The carving was actually hand carved and one of the All Black's holiday house is on the top of the cliff. Here's some photos of me and my dad swimming with my step cousin and her dad.It was so cold that Lilly's lips went bright blue. 

 Me and my cousin on a floating a bouncy dinghy.

Us about to jump of the dinghy.

 Us swimming back to shore.

Me and Lilly (Lilly is my step cousin.)swimming towards the boat.

Us climbing up the ladder to get on to the boat so we can get warm.


I hope you enjoyed my post this week.See you next time.  

My learning in this blog post is the spelling and I also had to do heaps and heaps of editing to this blog. 

My second favorite blog post is A furry addition to the family. Here it is.

On the last day of the holidays, I went to Animates with my Mum and my Sister. Animates is a place where you can adopt pets and buy toys and treats for animals. When I went to Animates, I saw a furry black blob in a glass box. When I went closer to the box it started to appear: fury, small, black and white. By then I recognize what it was. Can you guess what it was? If you answered A cat or kitten you are correct. As soon as I saw the kitten I rushed over to my Mum and my sister and said come check what I have just seen. So I lead them towards the glass box. Just when they got a glimpse of the kitten they said "Oh wow that cat is soooo cute!" I said" Can we buy it Can we buy it Can we buy it?" But just then I realized  that my dad wouldn't approve it. So we went home and had a conversation about.Can you guess what he said? If 
you guessed  No No No!You were indeed right. He did not want a kitten. I don't know why but he didn't. The next day my sister had to go to work at Pak'n'Save across the road from Animates so mum and I went to Animates. I was so surprised to see that the cat was still there. Did I mention that the day before a family brought their dog in to see if he would like the cat? That's why I was so surprised that he was still there. That night Mum and I texted my Dad if we could take the cat home. Turns out he was actually out side of the shop getting petrol so he finished and came into the shop where Mum and I were staring at the cat. He walked into the shop we begged and begged, finally he gave in and said "Alright." So that night we got a kitten and named it Thea-bold fox in Socks and guess what it's a boy. He's so smart he even knows  how to play fetch. He's smarter than my dog. Is he smarter than your dog? Here are some photos. 

My kitten when he woke from a nap because he heard a big bang coming  from the TV.

Me and my kitten when he was sleeping. He must of had a bad dream.

My learning in this blog post is remembering what happens.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED, SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!!
