Per Mertesacker, Week 4, Day 2, Part 2

Per Mertesacker

Personally i'm not completely into many sports, however I love playing soccer and when dads watching soccer it's usually Arsenal I'm the most interested in.  The captain of Arsenal currently is Per Mertesacker, who was born in 29 September 1984.  He is a German professional footballer who plays as a centre back and is a captain of the Premier League club Arsenal.  I admire him because although he has only appeared 155 times, scoring 8 goals, he has tackled 150 times and succeeded 74% of the time.

Richie McCaw, Week 4, Day 2

Richie McCaw

Here are three things I have learnt about Richie McCaw:

1. Richie McCaw didn't really understand who the all blacks were until The 87 World Cups.

2. He wasn't the most talented player, but he did have a massive desire to join the All Blacks

3. He got targeted by many teams, by people who had already been banned for weeks.

If there were more I'd want to learn about Richie McCaw it would be what did he do before he became an all black?

The Beatles, Week 3, Day 2, Part 2

The Beatles Trip To New Zealand

I read about The Beatles' trip and found 3 facts which were very interesting, and these were them:

1. Their first visit in New Zealand was in Wellington.

2. The police had not expected the crowd to be as crazy as it was, so the police had to use dogs to clear large groups from the verandas and other vantage points.

3. Some Teenagers pushed over and damaged 2 police motorcycles and there was so much pushing that one of The Beatles' cars was shunted backwards, with the handbrake on!

TV Show Favourite, Week 3, Day 2

Gravity Falls
My favourite television show around now would likely be Gravity Falls, which is a show about 2 twins moving to a new small country named Gravity Falls.  This place has many unusual sightings and many people have been terrified after seeing these beasts.  The people starring this movie is Mabel Pines and Dipper Pines, which are the twins, Stan Pines, who is their great uncle, and lastly Soos and Wendy, who work at Stan's house he turned into "The Mystery Shack".  I would like to believe this show is on quite a few television channels but the channel I watch it on is 103.

What I'm Rating:

My Rating:

I've given this rating because although it is delicately and well made, I feel that it should have a little more pizzazz to it, such as there should be something in the background and you can see it, or just look through the car and see it.  Maybe there could be a logo of some sort on the car to indicate something or some place.

The Lion's Cage, Week 2, Day 2

The Lion's Cage

The Lion's Cage was created by Charlie Chaplin, who played as a young man getting chased by a donkey.  In this scene of running away, the man attempts to hide inside a carriage, only to find himself inside a lion cage.  In this comedy-based movie, the man attempts to exit the carriage in one piece without waking up the sleeping beast!  Before escaping this carriage, the man wakes up the lion on mistake thinking he is doomed quickly after, however the lion just comes over to him, sniffs him, and then goes back to it's bed in the corner of the room.  Later he is let out by a woman who had just passed out from seeing the man in the lion cage, after the man gets let out, thinking he is all powerful now, decides to stay in the cage and quickly afterwards, gets scared by the lion thinking it was coming for him.

My Job Choice Of The Future Week, 1 , Day 2, Part 2

When I grow up I would like to become this:

Wharepuni Structure Week 1, Day 2

Maori Translation: Ko taku Wharepuni rite Whare Ko te rereketanga i waenganui i taku whare me Wharepuni he 1) kaore a Taniwha e haere ana i waho o to whare, 2) kaore he ahua Maori i whakairohia ki to whare. Ko nga rite rite ki te 1) e rua nga wahi he harakeke i waho i te wa e ora ana ahau i te ngahere me te 2) e rua nga rakau e whakamahia ana hei hanga io tatou whare. Na Aedan Gunn 2017

English Translation:

My Wharepuni Like House

The difference between my house and a Wharepuni is 1) we do not have Taniwha roaming around outside our house and 2) we do not have Maori patterns carved into our house.

The similarities include 1) both places have flax outside as I live surrounded by bush and 2) we both have wood used to build our house.
