#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 ='(

#Miss Universe New Zealand =)

Yesterday afternoon the senior block had some special visitors to welcome. Those special visitors were the gorgeous, stunning, amazing contestants of Miss Universe New Zealand. The final twenty had supposed to come, but sadly four ladies missed out. So in total there were sixteen girls that came. Out of the sixteen girls, three girls represented them by talking to us about what they do and some advice on what we need to do if we have want to chase our dreams.

The three girls names were, Gabrielle Manaloto, Ella Wilson and Sharne Boot. They each spoke at a time and what they were talking about had inspired each and every one of us. Sharne had talked about how she knew we were talking about entrepreneurs and that she wanted to be an entrepreneur herself when she was a kid. She now owns a recycling company that she hopes helps the environment. She also explained that the next day (Today) all twenty of them were traveling to the Philippines to the city of Manilla. As soon as the three of them had finished, the sixteen of them had split up into five groups to talk about themselves and what they do and what they succeeded.

I learn’t that anything could happen when you do new things or try new events. I also learn’t that you can chase your dream if you work hard and create some sweat into working hard and you may get there. I had a lot of fun listening to their stories and listening to how you could make your dream a reality. This is a link to where you could see and know more about those magnificent ladies!

#How Do You Prevent Yourself From Getting Sick?

In this explanation I am going to be explaining and providing you with information as to how you could prevent from getting sick. This explanation is going to provide you with some ideas of how you could stop yourself from getting sick. Here are some of the reasons of how you could prevent you from getting sick.

First, how does the snotty nose and the mucus cough begin? Well one of the reasons are... you're not wearing enough clothes! Yes, most people get sick throughout the season of colds, which is winter. So to prevent yourself from getting sick in the 92 days of sickness you would obviously have to wear warm and comfortable clothes. Most of your body heat comes from your feet and your shoulders. So the smart thing to do is, cover up!

Another reason this virus is spreading is because, you are not having enough sleep. Yes, sleeping should be one of your #1 priorities, because you need as much time to relax and sleep. When you're ill, you would need to loosen up and unwind for a bit to let your body go through a quick process of calming down.

Another reason to why this type of sickness is growing threw communities is because, you need to have a shower once or twice a day and make sure you're washing your hands after you went to the loo (toilet) and before you touch any food make sure to wash your hands.

There are many more reasons of how you could prevent yourself from getting sick, so the picture above the first paragraph are more facts of how you could stop you and your family from getting sick. I hope this helps you and family members of yours by not getting sick.
