Me Myself And I.............
Today I am going to tell you what I like to do what I enjoy and don't enjoy, First will be Food and Drink, second my hobbies, and last will be T.V and music. So I hope you really enjoy reading about this.
First of all Food and Drink,
The food that I love eating is butter chicken, , Coco Rice and Burger King.
But the food that I disagree eating/drinking is Sprouts, blackberry’s, peanuts and coffee.
Now for my Hobbies. I enjoy playing rugby league,rugby union, looking after my pet dog, playing on my computer and going to trainings everyday. Sometimes I even collect rugby league cards.
I have a bike but I don’t really ride on it.
And last of all T.V and Music. My favourite T.V programs are ‘Man vs Wild and Fear factor, I sometimes watch Disney channel and I always watch Sports Channel when there is a rugby league game on, but for the T.V program, that I think that hate is Adventure time, . For music or music groups it would be LMFAO and Mohombi. I don’t listen to old fashion music like my mum and dad.

Quick 10 Questions
“Weeeeeelcome everbody to our show, ‘ Quick 10 Questions’!” I shouted.
The crowds were cheering and clapping. I began to introduce my contestant, “Theodore

I asked him, “Shall we start?”
“Lets shall, lets shall”, Theodore answered.
“What is the capital city of France?” I requested.
“Paris!” Theodore shouted. “

“Correct!” I replied once again. “Theodore, your third question is … What is a major celebration held in France?”
“Bastille Day?” answered Theodore quizzically.
“YESS my friend, next question, ‘Name two neighbouring countries for France?’ I questioned
“Belgium and Switzerland,” He Respond.
“That's the answer”, I quoted, “your fifth question is..... What is the French rugby team’s jersey colour when they play in their main playing stripe?”
He knew the answer straight away and replied “Blue and....Black” Theodore excitedly answered.
“that’s correct! your sixth question is.... what is a local delicacy in France?” I asked

The Brumbies were given a number of names of rugby-playing nations of the world.

Where The Heck Is Onehunga?
Different Auckland town centres have adopted Rugby teams from countries that
qualified for the World Cup.
I found out information about :
The location in Auckland;
Something special about this place;
A 'potted' history of the place;
If it has it's own symbol of some sort.
(If we couldn't find a symbol we chose a picture that told more about the place).
Onehunga is in the south east of Auckland city. It is 8kms from the city centre.
Jellicoe Park, a short walk from the town centre, is a good place to start and a truly unique drawcard. There are museums, an historic home, swimming pools and wonderful gardens to enjoy. And then there's the beautiful Manakau Harbour to enjoy, right on Onehunga's doorstep.
From its earliest beginnings Onehunga, one of the oldest settlements in the region, has occupied a special place in Auckland's history.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL
We are using the nations of the 2011 Rugby World Cup as our inquiry path.
For this unit we are in one of four teams: Brumbies, Force, Rebels, Stormers. My team is Brumbies
There will be a number of tasks for us to navigate to achieve our goal of an excellent result in this unit. There are a mixture of individual and team tasks to be completed. The main task that will show our learning in this unit will be a Hyperstudio presentation about one of the countries in the World Cup competition.
I'm excited for the Rugby World Cup to see who my team, Samoa, is going to compete with.
