One of my challenges for the rimu house challenge was to complete an entire season of sport. I decided I should do volleyball, as it is one of my favorite sports. Last year I also did volleyball and really enjoyed it. In my group last year there was Aimee, Amelia (from Kahikatea house), Paris, Amy (who now goes to Tauranga Girls) and me. We were called the blondines.
Being a part of the Blondines was great because I had all my friends were in the team.
This year I have a different group of my friends in my volleyball team. My friends had come up with a social volleyball team and asked me if I'd like to join too. I said yes and we became the T.I.S Teddy Bears. We were ready to take on anyone! My Friends in my team this year are kate, Nicole, Aimee, Renee and me. I thought we were going to do ok since we had a lot of mixed strengths in our group. Nicole was definitely our best player she saved the ball, served really well and kept supporting everyone. Kate and I do pretty good at defending the ball, often stopping it from touching the ground on our side and score us the point. Aimee and Renee were the main people for serving. They could get the ball over the net where the opposite team wouldn't be expecting it and also their serves were not all over the place.
All of our games were on a Thursday, and the game time would usually be either at 3.15pm or 3.50pm after school. We played all our games in the school gymnasium. We played one game at lunchtime, which was really cool since our other friends could come watch and cheers us on.
But sadly even though we all had good strengths in our T.I.S Teddy Bears team, we were no match for the other teams that took their volleyball very very seriously. But we tried our best, had a lot of fun and became closer as friends. We never won any of our games, but we didn't mind as most of the scores were quite close and we tried our best. This Thursday coming up on 18th April 2013, which is a championship game and our very last one.
In conclusion I really enjoyed playing volleyball and without a doubt I will be doing it again in term 4!

Your homework is well presented but it's not to a year 8 expectation. I dont think that this was a bad but I think that for a year 8 it could have been better and to a higher standard. It had great detail and plenty of information and you did a great job, nice work.
What a fantastic post Jessica. What is great is the amount of detail you provided me with. You described your team, their strengths and the games you had really well. I can imagine you came up against some pretty tough boys teams. Glad to hear you still enjoyed your games though. There are a couple of publishing errors - it's about 98% proofed. But, overall this is an excellent example for homework at a year 8 level. Well done.
