France

Here is my presentation on France. 

On Friday August 12 we went to the staff room and did some clay modelling. We could make anything, so I made an Elephant head and a NIKE tick. We all tried to make it in to the shape we wanted it to be. I was sitting with my friends and we all made something different. My friend Sebastian helped me with the Elephant head.

Adams win silver at Rio Games

LINK

Shot put super star Valarie Adams has won silver at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Michelle Carter from USA won the final with a sensational 20.63m throw which was too good for Adams. Carter blew away the competition with her final throw after trailing Adams for the entire competition. Anita Morton from Hungary finished third. Cooler conditions in Rio mean that throw were generally shorter than expected.

World's smelliest flower

The world's smelliest flower has bloomed in New York and it stinks! The rare flower, a corpse flower, known for its stench, has been on display in New York. The rare plant is called the corpse flower because it smells a bit like rotting meat or sick. It's one of the biggest flowering plants on earth and can grow up to six foot.(As tall as a grown man).

In room 11 we had to make a story about us being a athlete and choosing our sport. I chose basketball as my sport for the Olympics and my coach was Stephen Curry. When I was 8 and my dad trained me to be a basketball player. The favourite part in my story is that It felt good to walk in the stadium knowing I was one of the people representing my country.

My Olympic Mascot

On Friday we had to draw a Olympic mascot. It had to represent the Olympics. As you see it has the five rings that represent the Olympics. It doesn't look like much but I think it looks AMAZING! I call him Jack because that was the first name that popped into my head.I did this on sumo paint.

Three New Zealand teams have made it through to the Super Rugby 2016 semi finals. The Highlanders, Hurricanes and Chiefs have all progressed to the final four after winning their semi finals. The Crusaders were the only NZ team to lose in the quarter finals, going down to the top South African side, the Lions. In South Africa the Crusaders were defeated 42-25 which means they lost 3 of their last 4 games.
