The creation of Rugby

One day William Web Ellis was at school doing some work he was in science there was a note going around the classroom saying that there was going to be a big soccer match at break  1 William kept thinking about scoring a goal and then it was the first

The bell rang every student left for Break 1 They all went to the football field and started to play William Ran with ball and then disregarding the rules for football he picked up the ball in his hands and ran down the field dodging all the players  on the field and dived into the goal this creating rugby.

They said later on that  he left to become a cricketer and four years later they bring back the rugby game .And then it was introduced to the world it only reached New Zealand in 1870 by Charles John Monro .Everybody started playing now it’s a global sensation.There are now many rugby clubs all over New Zealand .They also named an trophy after him The William Web Ellis cup
also known as the Rugby world cup.

Maths poem

I like maths  It can lead you on good paths.

Once we did a hard fraction the trick was to use multiplication and subtraction.We use algorithms to become the best mathematicians.

We all get tangled in numbers to this day there are lots of wonders we can see but many just want be free to solve maths problems so that our brains can blossom.

Anzac Report

  Anzac Day

Anzac Day was first marked in 1915.The day has gone through many changes since then.the ceremonies that are held at war memorials up and down New Zealand ,or places overseas where New Zealanders gather,remain rich in tradition and a military funeral.

Thousands lost their lives in Gallipoli about 2000 New Zealanders died .They were fighting for Britain the Turkish people had a machine gun in the trenches they were firing at the new Zealanders and shot and The soldiers became casualties.

The Turkish people tried to stop Australians And New Zealanders from fighting.that they dropped papers and told them to surrender and that they will treat them good.The Turkish people said Why are you fighting for Britain this is not your fight !!!SURRENDER NOW.But New Zealand didn't surrender they kept on fighting .
