Homework challenge E3

Visit to Tauranga Art Gallery

I must admit, when mum suggested that we visited the art gallery to help with my homework challenge, I wasn't that excited about the idea. I soon found out it was a really cool exhibition!
Running until 15th September you can see a the work of New Zealand artist Jeff Thomson. His exhibit is called Corrugations and shows lots of different techniques using corrugated metal. Some of his work is using heavier sheets, but he also displays delicate and detailed artwork. My favourite was a Morris Minor car which he completely re panelled in corrugated tin.
Also on display was a collection of work based on Mount Maunganui. My favourite of the day was a series by John McLean called Springheel Jack. It shows a man who always wears the same clothes, who used to be seen often at the Mount years ago, collecting shells and interesting things from nature. He lived in Otumotai was a well known character around town.
Enjoyed my visit!

For rugby this week we played Papamoa in witch we thought would be a tough game because they only just lost to TGA sports gold by 6 points  but we pulled through with a 56/14 win.

Bitter taste of defeat 22/21 to Tauranga gold.

This weeks game for the Greenpark Blazers they played Otumoetai Primary School and the Blazers  won 14/6. The other ref was a bit grumpy and she scared the kids a little and was moaning at me because she was telling me that the jump ball arrow was wrong.

The first half was a good half but it could of been better and at the end of the first half the score was 8/2
to the Blazers. The second half was much better and the blazers won by a margin of 8.

On Saturday morning I played rugby for the Greerton Marist Chargers U12 team and we played Te Puna who won the championship last year. We knew we had our work cut out for us. The first 20 Minutes the match was scoreless until they get a last minute unconverted try. Halftime score 0/5. We went in to halftime and coach had a pep talk with us and we went in to the second half ready for a battle. 10 minutes in we score in the corner. Try unconverted, score 5/5. Another battle over who will score next, we score again. With 7 minutes left try converted 12/5. A big battle in our 22with about 5 scrums until they score again. They miss the kick 12/10. Last minute we hold them out until we force a mistake. We win 12/10.
