NRL 9’s - The Best Christmas Present Ever!!!

Day One
The NRL 9’s tournament started on Saturday, and it was a hot hot day.  My Mum and I caught the train from Glen Innes to the Britomart, then from there to Kingsland.  Off the train and across the road to Eden Park, it was packed.  Before we even made it in we got a free tattoo, they were cool. 

Then a guy pulled us aside to take a picture of us, I was Mario and Mum was a Maori Mexican. 

Off into the park we go, people dressed up everywhere.  I see my long lost brother Luigi.  Then another Mario shouts out to me ‘Heya, a little Mario’, there were quite a few of us there.  So we set off to find our seats, Bay 322 seats B28 and B27.  They were right at the front, man I can’t believe the seats, we were right next to the players.  The National Anthems are beginning, the Australian one first, the microphone kept cutting out.  Then the New Zealand one, everyone was standing for that one.  After that there were some boring speeches, Len Brown was one and he got booed! Then the games were ready to begin. 

First game up was Sharks vs Knights, Sharks beat them.  The rules are different to normal league.  4 points for a try, 5 points in you score in the gold box between the posts.  Conversions are drop kicks and you get 2 points for those.  They were hard to get because some of the trys were way out by the sidelines.  No problems to Shaun Johnson though, he had a mean first day in the tournament.

None of the players really spoke to anyone on the sides, a bit sad really, I wanted to shake some hands.  Bonus though, my Mum brought me a NRL 9’s ball.

Wits Explanation

Using your Wits means to always do the right thing. It also means you have to follow 4 steps which are W walk away, I ignore it, T talk about it and S seek help. First we are going to talk about W walk away.

If people are Bullying you, you should walk away. If you don’t walk away then there are many bad things that can happen to you. Even though they are pushing or teasing you just use your Wits.

The next step is to ignore it, if people are making fun of you, walk away and ignore it. Another example is if people are teasing you, calling you names and other thing ignore it.

If you talk about it, it will make you happy and it will also solve many of your problems.   There are lots of thing you could talk about, like if you pet died or someone is teasing you just talk about it.

To Seek help you have to find a teacher or an adult and tell them what's wrong. It also means that the person who was bullying you would learn a lesson.  

Using your WITS can help you by not being bullied. If you use your WITS you'll be happy and you will be able to enjoy the rest of your day knowing what you can do if that ever happens again.

My Statistical Investigation

 In my Investigation I was figuring out the humidity for the 24th February. My investigation started at 5:00am and ended at 23:00 pm. As you can see it started going down at 9:00 and started going back up at 16:00. 

 I found out that the highest humidity was 77% and the lowest was 40%. The other thing I found out that the humidity rises at night. 

My favourite graph is the third one it is easy to read because it has more detail than the others. 

Adam Reynolds

NRL'S Adam Reynolds is one of the best players in the Telstra Premiership this year.  Last year he had won the Rookie of the Year award, because of kicking a record breaking 87 goal kicks.  Being a debutant for the Rabbitohs, plus debuting for City (City is it's a different competition called Country vs City).  Last year scoring and unforgettable try against the Roosters, making the the score 20-20.  His kick at goal won the game in the last minute.

 

This year he has already scored 138 points for himself, and his team at the top of the ladder.  When he was a little boy he was inspired by Andrew Johns and Darren Lockyer.  But his all time favourite from the Rabbitohs was Nathan Merrit.

In 2011 his season had come to a end, after having a left leg injury.  This was bad for the Rabbitohs, because they lost Chris Sandow (their kicker) in 2012 to the Paramatta Eels. Lucky for the NRL, Adam Reynolds came back and was ready to play, and kick for the Rabbitohs. The Injury to his left leg was better, and Adam's first year in the NRL will never be forgotten.
