MY NECKLACE...

Today I finally finished my pewter casting pendant and it took me 17 days to finish it at hard material tech at Tamaki College. My cross is shiny but it still has a few scratch marks on it. I chose this shape because it was easy to do and it looks cool. I have made this shape just for myself.

Warriors struggling to make top 8

Created on August 27, 2014

The Warriors have been knocked out of the the top eight play-off following their latest loss.

The Warriors were beaten 46-12 by the Rooster’s in Auckland to dent their playoff hopes.

The Rooster’s controlled the majority of the game leading 16 — 6 at halftime.

Sonny Bill Williams returned from a broken thumb to help his side score 7 tries against the Warriors 2.

The result means that the Rooster’s climb to 3rd on the ladder while the Warriors have dropped to 10th.

There are just two weeks left in the regular season, with the Gold Coast and Penrith the Warriors' remaining opponents.

The Warriors are now struggling to make top 8 after losing badly to the Roosters. Sonny Bill Williams has returned to play rugby again for the Roosters..

I think if Sonny Bill was in the Warriors team they would’ve won the game. I also thought that the Warriors were going to win against the Roosters but the Roosters thrashed them like they were nothing.

The New Zealand Rugby Union has announced that it is suspending all fireworks at their games. The new rule comes after on-field fireworks at the Bledisloe Cup injured three people. The three were struck by debris when the fireworks ignited following the All Black haka.

NZRU chief executive Steve Tew said fireworks displays are off until the cause is known. He said it would be foolish to put anything on unless spectator safety can be completely guaranteed. The company involved, Van Tiel Pyrotechnics- said it has been setting up displays for the All Blacks for more than 10 years without any incident.

Fireworks are banned from Rugby union because three people got injured from them. The NZRU is trying to find out what happened. The All Blacks have had firework displays for 10 years without any incidents.

I think the fireworks shouldn’t be banned from the rugby pre-show because it actually makes the game more exciting.

The 2014/15 English Premier League has started with the favourites, Chelsea and Manchester City, both starting with victories.  Chelsea overcame newly promoted Burnley to win 3-1 while Manchester City beat Newcastle.

Manchester United started the season with a shock 2-1 home loss to Swansea.  Their new manager Louis van Gaal not happy with the way his team coped with the pressure.  United had been in good form, having an unbeaten pre-season tour of the United States beating rivals Liverpool and European champions Real Madrid.

Meanwhile New Zealand striker Chris Wood became only the second kiwi to score in the Premier League after scoring in Leicester City’s 2-2 draw with Everton. Woods strike came with only 4 minutes of normal time remaining.

When I grow up I want to be a Soccer star. I think the players should stop hurting the other players and causing too many injuries.

New Zealand Views Supermoon

Sky Gazers around New Zealand were able to glimpse a ‘super moon’ last night. Last night was a full moon and was the closest and the largest of 2014. The moon won’t pass as close to the earth again until September 2015.  

For those that could see last night’s full moon its large size was due to the  moon falling close to the perigee, (the moon's closest point to the earth.) The Met service said that the east of the island enjoyed the best viewing conditions due to a lack of clouds.

Glasgow Games Finish On A Amazing Closing Ceremony

The 20th Commonwealth Games have come to a end with a amazing closing ceremony at Glasgow’s Hampden Park. Performances by the Scottish singer , Lulu and the Australia star Kylie Minogue, have set the crowds entertained. In a show for support Glasgow for the Commonwealth.

New Zealand has finished Glasgow Commonwealth Games with 45 medals. This equals the best ever haul at a Commonwealth Games outside New Zealand. The haul, of 14 Gold, 14 Silver and 17 Bronze, puts New Zealand at sixth place on the medals table, England were at the top  with 174 medals.

Pakistan's National Symbol

Pakistan is one of the countries in the Commonwealth Games and I chose Pakistan’s national symbol because I like the look of it and I sometimes just look at the moon and stars. The white represents Minorities and the dark green field represents the Muslim majority. The crescent on the Flag represents progress. The five-pointed star represents light and knowledge.
