My Term 3 Reflection 2017

My top 3 highlights for this term were volleyball because my coaches were fun to learn from and volleyball is very fun to play. I also liked playing football with some kids from Moana Iti at lunchtime in the Learning in the Making Conference. My third highlight was learning French on Duolingo Tiny cards because French is fun to speak.

Something that I learned was how to make a metal shoehorn that fully works. Something I would have done differently would be choosing to not do metal tech.

My goal for next term is to achieve my learning languages milestone.

Coutinho And Mignolet Heros As Liverpool Beat Leicester 3-2

On Saturday Liverpool recorded a nail-biting 3-2 win over Leicester City. Liverpool had gone without a win for four straight matches and needed a win to pick up crucial momentum. Salah was first to score in the 15th minute with Coutinho scoring a beautiful free kick to make it 2-0. Then Shinji Okazaki made it 2-1 just before halftime. Then Jordan Henderson made it 3-1 shortly followed by Jamie Vardy's goal 3 minutes later. To add to the thrill of the match Jamie Vardy had his penalty saved by Simon Mignolet late in the game to hold on for the win.

My Volleyball Reflection 2017

For the past few weeks, I have been walking down to the college to learn how to play volleyball. After missing the first session because of TV Cross Country I had to learn how to serve, dig and set very quickly. Our teams in volleyball were the same as our learning teams with 1-2 extra players.

I think I showed a lot of Resilience in learning how to dig the ball and not smash a window. I also think that I showed a lot of Connecting at volleyball with my coaches and teammates. Then today we had a tournament where we only lost twice. After the tournament, I got the award for my teams MVP. I do not know what that means but people have told me it means Most Valuable Player which is cool. I really enjoyed doing volleyball and trying out a new sport and I will definitely come back next year.

My Weekly Reflection T3W9

This week I showed Resilience in Volleyball trying to return a serve as it is very hard to do.

This week I showed Being Me by doing French on Duolingo all Thursday as French is such a beautiful language.

This week I showed Creativity on my blog writing about something other than football.

57-0: My Neighbours = Not Happy

On Saturday the All Blacks dealt a crushing win to South Africa by a record margin of 57 points. The All Blacks ran away with it after the first try by Lima Sopoaga provided by a crossfield kick by Arron Smith from the penalty tap. Further points were provided by the wizardry of Beauden Barret and Nehe Milner-Skudder. My neighbours, who were of South African descent were gutted, angry and one even crying. Saturday was a great day for NZ rugby but a horrible one for South Africa.

Liverpool 1-1 Burnley: Maaaaaaaaaaaaah!

On Sunday morning Liverpool had a frustrating 1-1 draw with Burnley. Liverpool needed a win to stay on track but could only manage a draw. Now Liverpool is in 8th place on the table with 8 points and could jump the whole table up to third place. Burnley was first to score with Salah scoring moments later to level it up. After the match, I was seething with frustration and threw a massive tantrum! Liverpool was meant to be good and not draw with Burnley. I must say if Liverpool does not beat Leicester I will pop a few brain cells that's for sure.

My Weekly Reflection T3W8

This week I was disappointed when Liverpool was dropped 5-0 by Man City at the Etihad. This caused for some tantrums in my house.

This week I found making a Te Reo Maori poster very fun and I also liked learning what different words meant in Maori.

This week I was tired after coming back from Thames Valley Cross Country all the way in Whitianga. I came 26th so I did pretty well.

This week I gathered some interesting statistics for my IE with the help of a survey on football.

 

What's Happening Outside Of The Premier League?

After looking through some of my posts I found that I haven't been writing about anything other than the Premier League. Then when I took a look at the tables for the other big leagues, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 I was quite surprised at the table positions. One thing to note though is these leagues have only played 3 to 4 games just like the EPL so it's too early to say anything just yet.

The Bundesliga: So far in the German League each team has played 3 games with BVB topping the table with 7 points while their rivals Bayern Munchen are only in 6th. But still with only 3 games played it is too early to say anything just yet.

La Liga: Barcelona tops the table after 3 games in La Liga, while Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are following suite with Bayern in 6th and 7th place. Closely Trailing Barca is Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao. Trailing Real is your typical middle of La Liga teams such as Levante, Valencia and Getafe.

Ligue 1: There isn't much to talk about in League 1 with PSG wrecking everyone with their attacking line of Cavani, Di Maria and Neymar.

Serie A: Not much to talk about here either except how tight the top 3 is at the moment. Juventus, Napoli and Inter Milan are all tied on nine points 3 games in. While Milan is in 7th and Salah's old club Roma is lagging behind in 10th place.

Liverpool VS Manchester City: 5-0😨💩😱😭👿

On Saturday at 11:30 pm at night something horrible happened. Liverpool, "The Best Team In The Prem" lost 5-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to Manchester City. The game started on a bad note with the controversial sending off of Sadio Mane after his boot collided with Ederson Santana De Moraes. Then Aguero slotted home a superbly worked goal to make it one nil but worse was yet to come. With goals from Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus made it five and Liverpool dropped to 8th on the table.

Best Overhead Kicks Ever

Overhead kicks are where a player jumps into the air and kicks the ball upside down before landing on their back. This takes so much skill to do and if you can do it you're a legend.

Lachian, Regan and Charlie's Character Despriction

Our hero Fishman, looks like a lizard mixed with a man. He looks very cool with his goggles. He smells yucky like a rotten fish. He also has stinky breath. He feels scaly and slippery. He can swim really fast and breathe underwater for ages. He can also breathe on land as he is a part man. He can also knock people out with his stinky breath powers. He lives in a cave half above water and half below it. He eats bugs and rotten fish which gives him stinky breath and is the source of all his power. He wears human clothes to blend in with the normal people. He is friends with the fish and some other people. His arch enemies are sharks, octopuses, and eels because they all eat other fish.

Don't You Just Hate International Friendly Breaks

It seemed Liverpool were finally gaining some momentum at second on the table then we just had to have an international friendly. I was happy having a Liverpool game to watch every weekend but then the Premier League comity just had to ruin it and decide to have an international friendly weekend. I know it is important for teams to compete in international games but the Premier League is so much better. So please, no more international friendlies!!!!!!!!!
