Commonwealth Games Report

I haven't watched any Commonweath Games but I am aware that New Zealand was 1tth on the medal table scoring 3 more solid golds this morning.


We have got 5 gold medals so far and at one thirty the netball game NZ VS Australia kicks off. We have too many silver medals but that boosts us up the medal table.

We had to settle for silver in the hockey. We needed to beat Australia to get the gold but we lost in the penalty shoot out.

Games report!

My sister Jordan Rae has been to the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.She went to take part in gymnastics.Jordan made it into the vault finals, where she was placed FIFTH!She also got into the floor finals and was placed SEVENTH!Jordan has now got a Commonwealth Games standing of 12th,which means she has qualified for the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in ROTTERDAM!

To get ROTTERDAM,Jordan has to catch an aeroplane,then catch another aeroplane,then hop on a train and then jump on a coach (bus) to where she staying. That is a very hard thing to do when you are 15.

If Jordan gets a standing in the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS then she will qualify for the OLYMPICS in two years time!

I miss you so much Jordan.This worlds no fun without you,its not the same shopping without you telling me what to buy and what not to.I'm waiting for you to come home.TR!!!!!!!!!

Commonwealth Games Report-Silver Ferns

The Silver Ferns have won gold in the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. They have beaten the Aussies! It was an extremely tough game. The Silver Ferns were cramping up in all sorts of places but when the last shot was thrown into the net all the cramps went away and the Silver Ferns were rolling on the floor and some were even crying. They were joyful tears.





The Australians were all miserable, but they had put up a good fight. The last 40 minutes of the netball game was just breath-taking.





When Prince Edward was giving the gold medals to the New Zealand netball players Temepara George gave Prince Edward a huge hug.


Go New Zealand!!!! Go the Silver Ferns!!!!!! :)

Rugby 7's

New Zealand won the rugby seven's for the fourth time in the Commmonwealth Games. These games where hosted at the Delhi University. New Zealand's first game was against Canada. New Zealand won 43-7! The next was game against Guyana and won 52-0. Wow, New Zealand's cleaning everyone up!

New Zealand had a big break after that! The next game was New Zealand and Wales,we won
31-10. Then finally my team South Africa played Scotland. South Africa wins 10-7 (close win) Then sadly South Africa lost to Aussie 17-7.

The truthful moment came, the finals. Aussie and New Zealand. I was wondering who was going to win this? It was 17-7 to Aussie. I gave up and said "New Zealand lost!" Then suddenly a try to New Zealand by Forbes which made it 14-17 plus the conversion kick. Then another try! It came from an offload 5 metre behind the New Zealand's team tryline!! Then New Zealand were leading 19-17 with 30 secs to go on the clock!

New Zealand locked it up with a runaway try to the winger and made it 24-17!! They celebrated with an amazing Haka. New Zealand has won the Gold medal and made everyone proud!

Dance night

On Thursday 19th August we had our dance night.Room 13 did a dance called Kotahitanga.My favourite part of the evening was when we went up to the audience and got our parents to do half of the dance, Kotahitanga.I got my mum up.It was very funny to watch all the parents do the dance all wrongly. Mr T came up and did a dance with the kids.Mr T was very funny.

I'd like to thank all the year 5 and 6 teachers for helping us learn all the dance moves and songs. J.D
