#The History Of Superman!



Today's inquiry we have been learning about superman. We watched a video to find out information about him. Our class especially looked at how he adapted from being normal to a superhero. Here are the questions that was given to us. 

History of Superman... 
  • man of steel...red underwear or blue underwear? Why did it change? Because it was uncool for this generation and they wanted something more sleek.
  • Krypton - what is it? Krypton is the planet that Superman was originally from which is his birth place.
  • Why was it important to Superman?  Because his parents died saving him. S he wanted to honour his parents by building a statue of them hold up the planet krypton.
  • What part did Superman's parents have in his survival? They sent him to earth, with a homemade spaceship.
  • Original powers? Jumping high and Run fast enough to pass an express train Did he fly in the beginning? No, because he could only jump high of one eighth of a mile.
  • What changed in term of his super powers? He went from not being able to fly to being able to fly and him being not so strong to being the strongest man on earth.
  • Daily planet - his workplace...how does he adapt between his human workplace and being a superhero? He had to dress normal, he had to pretend his "fake" parents were his real parents and he couldn't show anything that would be obvious like his powers.

#Pacific Netball Cup =)

On Saturday the 10th of October there was a special event that was happening at the Mt Wellington AMI netball courts. It was the Pacific cup! Yes the pacific netball cup was going on and I was competing in it. The pacific cup is a day when all pacific nations come together and play netball against each other. This year there were six islands, they were, the Samoans, the Tongans, the Cook Islanders, the Tuvaluans, The Maoris and the Niueans. I was in the Nuiean under 13's team.

First thing I did when I got there was to changed into my uniform. Since I was in the Nuiean team, I had to wear a yellow ribbon, with a yellow singlet and a blue skirt, jumper and socks. I was so excited putting my clothes on because I missed playing netball throughout the holidays.

"All nations please come onto the courts" Because it was my first time, I didn't know what to do, so I was just tagging along and being a third wheeler. As I was walking with my friend Mika, I could see all the islands in their colours and uniforms lining up for the national anthems.

As soon as we started singing the Niuean national anthem, all eyes were on us, it looked like there was 200 - 300 people watching us and it was so scary, but we suddenly went flat and that was sooo embarrassing =( But at the end of the day all the Islands went flat and only Samoas anthem was on point.

I had an awesome day with my new friends and I really enjoyed meeting new girls and new people. My highlight of the day was seeing my family cheer me on the sideline. My low light was saying goodbye to my team mates ='(
