RWC- France vs All Blacks

Dunff, as Dan Carter starts the game with a kick that flew like an eagle. Now France has the ball and its in the hands of their star player Imanol Harinordoquy and he side steps the forwards he's in panic he doesn't know what he should do there's no one for him to pass to he's on his own.
Offh, one of the All Blacks hits him hard and brings him to the ground . . . . . he doesn't know what hit him he got up and realized - All Blacks got a try but missed the conversion so the score was 5-0.
At half time the score was 29-3 to the All Black. I feel sorry for French supporters because France had no chance against the All Blacks.
The bell rang for the game to end and the final score was 49-10 and I'm so happy they didn't win because they have kick us out of the competition before.

Gumboots and Umbrellas Walk

I simply walked out of my driveway to see a swarm of happy walkers racing towards me.
I ran to the crossing praying not to get caught by them. I frantically pushed the button hoping that it would let me get across before I got caught. The green man flashed.
Yes, I had escaped.

Gumboots and Umbrellas day had arrived. Each and every class had been assigned a country to represent. Room 13 had been chosen to have Canada and Japan.
Trust me, Mr Gordon went over the moon when heard that he could wear Canada's colours!

When I went for a walk around the school, I saw so many people wearing their country colours and waving their flags.
Someone had even come up with a special dance to go with with their outfit.

In the end I think that Gumboots and Umbrellas day was a big success and it encouraged people to walk to school.

There I was standing there with a bunch of other people from school.They were wearing beautiful bright colours,wait there's more ,they had gumboots and had a umbrella.

Then I thought quietly to myself OH MY GOSH I forgot to bring my umbrella and gumboots.

When we all gathered to start walking I saw a lot of people in different colours representing countries.
I saw Tonga,USA, South Africa,Australia,New Zealand,England and other more.

When we started started walking I saw people wearing black gumboots that said All Blacks it was awesome.

When we were walking the line got bigger and bigger with people wearing colourful gumboots and beautiful umbrellas.

Red and White

Which country would you support?
Would you support a country you are from or would you support a country you like?

Well on Thursday the 22nd of September our class walked to school in red and white for Japan's rugby team the competitive Cherry Blossoms and Canada! In the morning we had fun waving little flags around and wearing Mr Gordon's Canadian hats while taking funky photos! Other classes dressed in different colours to represent the other countries. Room 8 wore French colours which are blue, white and red. After that it was back to serious school work and then it was the end of another fun and exciting day of supporting the Rugby World Cup!
