My amazing writing!!

Hello bloggers for writing this week we have been learning to do a Explanation text which is when you explain how or why something is done. Here is my one, I hope you enjoy.

Why NBA players get paid more than WNBA players.

Do you like to play basketball, hoping one day that your going to make millions. Well that’s all good if you do but just don’t get mad when I tell you that the men in the NBA get paid more than the Woman in the WNBA.

The reason behind NBA players making more than WNBA is not the skill of the players and we are not sexus. It is because the WNBA players play 34 games a season making 52 million a year and NBA players play 82 games a season and earn 6 billion a year.This is with Merch T.V ratings, T.V shows, sponsorships and tickets.With that the WNBA stars can’t get the 100 million contracts because the league doesn’t have that sort of money.

So people like Candace Parker and Sue Bird can’t get what they deserve. The WNBA salary is $110,000 and the NBA salary is $109. 14 million. Like my favorite NBA player Damian Lillard makes 49 Million a year. And Candace Parker only makes 1.2 Million a year. 

Finally WNBA players make more than NBA players by a lot but that doesn’t mean you can’t play the sport.

Have you ever done a explanation text?

PBL challenge!

This week for PBL we did three challenges and my favourite one was the clothes one. For the clothes one we had to make Formal clothes out of 24 sheets of Newspaper 10 meters of tape and scissors. I came late from make a space. When my group had finished I had an airpod and earring and a watch. Archie had a crop top, skirt and a hat. Lily had earrings, skirt and jeans. Then Megan and Peita had a skirt and Megan had a top aswell.

Scoring trys in winter sport.

This year for winter sport I did rugby for the 2nd time. My team was a mix of wins and losses but we grew as a team and learnt to trust each other. My favourite position to play was either half back or First five. I like these positions because I get to touch the ball a lot and I get to run a lot. My favourite game was against St Martins. It was 2-1 to them with a minute to go. Then Mostyn got a intercept try to tie it up. Then a last play the ball popped up and I ran around 10 meters then scored the game winning try.

Our coach this year was Steve. Steve is a very good coach because he has a lot of experience with rugby so he teaches us very well. My fitness this years has gone up because of the fast pace of rugby. Next season I will tryout for rugby again.

If you do winter sport how much games did your team win?

Earth gave us a chance, so lets take care of it.

For reading this term our focus has been looking at a range of articles that all relate to the issue of Climate Change. Our hub has been looking at answering the question: How can we use our voice to affect change in order to protect our enviroment.

The books we read told us about how we are going to be eating bugs soon, how much landfill we use, how long it takes plastic to breakdown and decomposed and about green house gasses and that they get trapped into the atmosphere.

This has taught me what we are doing to our planet and how we are destroying it.

Please comment on if you are destroying the planet?

If you want to make a better place then look at yourself and make the change.

On the 8th of May Tumu hub had a special guest.  His name was Glenn Andrew. He workes for Vbase. His job is to take care of venues like Horncastle arena, Christhchurch staduim and Hagley oval. He said he used to use just one time plastic cups. One time means after you use it once it just goes in the trash. Then Vbase and some other companys joined up to make a plastic cup that can be used mutipel times. It costs more know for a beer but when you bring your cup back you get a dollar back. This has been very good so far. Before around 250,000 cups a year would go to waste. But this year they have already made $4,500.  Glenn said the next move to make is to make cups out of plants.


Do you know anyone that is helping the envorment?

Did I come first in cross counrty?

On the 2nd of May we had cross country. We had been praticing for the last couple weeks and now the hard work was going to pay off.

We all lined up, making our preditons on who would go to zones. On the trip down we were jumping on stones and annoying dogs. When we got there I jumped into a big green thing. Walter park was the park that the racing was happening in. Me and my friends had one big tarpaulin all to our selfs.

As we were waiting Aidan was throwing his water at Mostyn and Blake. As all the races for finshing up.  Miss Hansan said " All the Tumu children come over here." We did our warmups. My legs were shaking. I was about to run 2ks. Once we had lined up Miss Hansan said " On your marks, Go!"

We were off and away, I was in first for about the first 80-100 meters. Then Max Martin over took me. I was close to him for the first 500 meters then after that he just sprinted away from me. The first lap was done and I could just see him in sight.

I knew I had to speed up. So I started to run as fast as I could. As I was going past a flax bush, Arie and Dlyan scared me half to death. After I got back to the race and I was running past Luca he gave me his drink bottle to squirt in my mouth.

I had finished the race. Max got 1st and I got 2nd. Mostyn got third. Charlie 4th, Archie 5th and Lucas 6th.On the way back I was flicking stones with my drink bottle. Once we had got back to school it was luchtime. I can tell you one thing about cross country it is tough and I have to do it all again for zones, another 2k.

Where did you come in your cross counrty?
