WhyWhoWhenWhatWhere

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.

World Experiences The Hottest June

According to an report from a US climate scientist, the month of June was the hottest in the world since this record has been held since 1880. The average temperature was 16.22 celsius. This means that June was a total of 0.72 warmer than any other month since records have been kept.

New Zealand also observed it’s warmest June since national records began in 1909. Scientists have noticed that sea iced up in the Arctic slower than normal for June, and was nearly five per cent below the 1981-2010 average.

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.
