Colour Wheel
Colour Wheel
Do you know what a colour wheel is ? If you don’t then this is the right place to be. A colour wheel has primary colours, secondary colours, and tertiary colours they have different colours like blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and violet.
In class 5 we had to do a colour wheel, there are three types of colours. Primary colours, Secondary colours and Tertiary Colours. The Primary colours are blue, green and red they make up all the colours
The Secondary colours are green, orange and violet. To make Green you have to get blue and yellow and mix it. To make violet you need blue, red and to make orange you have to mix red and yellow.
The tertiary colours are yellow-green, yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, and blue-green they are made with primary colours and secondary colours.
Then I finally finished my colour wheel. Then miss paget went online and showed us a building that looked 3D.

Australian Football League
Research on the country?
The History of Australia refers to the history of the area and people of the Commonwealth of Australia and its preceding Indigenous and colonial societies. Aboriginal Australians are believed to have first arrived on the Australian mainland by sea from Maritime Southeast Asia between 40,000 and 70,000 years ago. The artistic,musical and spiritual traditions they established are among the longest surviving such traditions in human history.
Rules: A.F.L is a sport played between two teams of eighteen players on the field of either an Australian football ground Or a modified cricket field, or a similarly sized sports venue. The main way to score points is by kicking the ball between the two tall goal posts. The team with the higher total score at the end of the match wins unless either a draw is declared or a tie-break which then will go into a golden point.
Skills:
Understand the basics of the game. Australian football, or "footy" as it is known the ball is also often referred to as the footy is played on a large oval field 135 - 185 meters long from goal and 110 -115 meters wide and has four large goalposts on each side of the field. Points are scored by kicking goals, which occurs when the football is kicked between the 2 middle goalposts, and behinds, when the ball is kicked through the outside goalposts. Goals are worth 6 points and behinds are worth 1 point. There are 18 players on each side, with 3 interchange bench players and 1 substitute on the side. The ball can be disposed of either by kicking or handballing bumping the ball with the fist similar to volleyball, and goals can only be scored by kicking the ball through the goalposts.
Equipment:
The equipment you need for AFL is football boots, AFL shorts and a AFL singlet. The most important thing you need is a mouth guard. You can have a head guard if you want to use one.

History
In 1857 Tom Wills was one of the founders of Australian Football league after he returned to Australia after schooling in England where he was football captain of Rugby School and a brilliant cricketer. He advocated the winter game of football as a way of keeping cricketers fit during off-season.
The new game was devised by Wills, his cousin H.C.A. Harrison, W.J. Hammersley and J.B. Thompson. The Melbourne Football Club was formed on August 7, 1858 – the year of the code's first recorded match between Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar School.
Popularity:
In 1857 when A.F.L. was made there were 205,464. Now there are 23,344,735 people in Australia.
Film Fest
Today we and 32 people and I going to the NZ film festival. There were 16 movies And they were in the Civic Theater in the city it look so cool and then when we went inside and it was so cool it looked like we were looking at the stars it was cool it looked liked a opera house.
We were there to see movies from around the world but before that we had to wait for half an hour and then a man came up and told us that “ There the movies are going to be from around the world and the last one would be from New Zealand “ And then the curtain pulled up and then the movies.
My favourite movie was the boy who was stealing light bulbs and putting it in the stardom and he got caught by a man and gave his light bulbs back and then the sky light up. Soon after that it was time to go back on the bus. Then we got to school and had morning tea.
