Now some explosive revelations in the world of cricket. Pakistani crickets have been accused of derlibertely trying to mess-up games in matches. Its all bout money and gambling ands it threatening the reputation of cricket.
Some people used to say ”it’s just not cricket” and its not sportsmanlike. The pakistani players were accused at being being payed yo stuff up a game and that is illegal. In the test against england the guy said that there will be a no-ball in the third over on the first ball. And he was right. its not only illegal and not sportsmanlike its also cheating. and it can change the game alot.
On the other hand if these players dont get payed then they wont have a team, and the country wont be happy
and if they dont have a job they wont be able to feed their familys. There could also be alot of fights and every1 deserves a 2nd chance. The players will lose their contract and lose alot of money and sponsership.
In conclusion i think the paskistani players shgould be banned because it’s cheating and not fun to watch:( It will be boaring to watch and the outcome of the game can be changed to what its surrposed to be.

IN THE PAST MEN WORKED IN THE CONSTRUCTION SITE, AND GIRLS DID ALL THE COOKING. RECENTLY GIRLS HAVE BEEN IN THE MENS POSITON.
GIRLS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES AS BOYS BECUASE GIRLS HAVE ATTENTION TO DETAILS AND THAT IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE PLACE LOOKING GOOD ALSO, AUSTRALIA NEEDS TRADIES BECAUSE AUSTRALIA IS GROWING AND THEY HAVE LESS TRADIES, SO THEY NEED MORE TO BUILD HOUSES AND BUILDINGS.
ON THE OTHER HAND WORK PLACES ARE REALLY DANGEROUS. THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE LIFES AT RISK BECAUSE THERE NOT AS STRONG AS THE MEN.
IN CONCLUSION I THINK GIRLS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BECAUSE IT IS A FREE COUNTRY AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE DO DO WHAT THEY WANT.

On the 29th of July the years 6′s went to CERES for an enviromental excrusion in east Brunswick. My favourite activity was the Water for Life. We had to chose a set of things and see what country we had. I got the Gambia and we had 4.5 litres of water per day. We had to use 4.5 litres a day very wisely, We had to shower and drink and eat with only 4.5 lires. The point of the activity was that we have to use our water wisely and dont wast it. I found out that other countrys have alot less water per day than we do and that Australia is the dryest continent in the world and we have the nmost litres of water per day than any other country in the world.

The book Holes was a very good book. It was about a teenager called Stanley who he was sent to Camp Green Lake for a crime he didint commit.
The main characters were The Warden, Mr Sir, Zero, Mr Pandanski, and Stanley. They dug holes at Camp Green Lake, but they were digging for something the Warden wanted. Each day the boys had to dig a hole 5 feet deep by 5 feet wide. The Warden was really mean and Mr Sir was a very direct person one of his sayings in the book ” this isnt a girls scout”. Zero is a shy kid he dosent like answering questions and why dose he dig holes for Stanley. Mr Pandanski is Stanleys counculer. Stanley was bullied at school and is a nice person.
I really likes this book it is funny and full of surprisers. My favourite part of the book was when Stanley drove the car into a holes that he had dug. I dont have a least part of the book, the whole book was great. I would give this book a 10 out of 10

The Soccer World Cup will be held in South Africa 2010. They will be expecting over 500,000 people watching live in South Africa and over 3.2 billion dolars.
Out on the field, there fighting for na trophy and glory but off the field it’s billions od dolars. that’s the prize for the country that hosts the 2018 or 2022 football World Cup. And Australia wants it badly. By hosting requires alot of money and facilities, so the organizers of the World Cup have to wiegh up what each country can bring to nthe event. The chosen country has to be big enough to put up all the visitors and have enough transport to get then around. It has to be sucure so that the visitors and players feel safe thereand it has to be big enough stadium to held the games in. but this is were Australia ran into a few problems! Austalia has alot of footy compitions and the World cup wanted to use alot of their stadiums.

Australia’s Neil Robertson aged 28 won the World Snooker Championship in the UK. He was the very first Australian to win a World Snooker Championship. He won a huge $411,000 for his efforts.
The rules of Snooker is that you have 22 balls on the table and you have to pot in one red ball followed by one coloured ball. The red balls are worth one point there are fifteen red balls and the coloured balls can be worth two to seven. Once all of the balls are potted in the game or frame is over, the person with the most points wins.
Back in the old days the only place you could play pool was in pubs and they were smokey. It was hard for a kid to play pool back then in those smokey bars. But proffessional tournaments had a much cleaner image.
Contraversey broke out when one of the top players was trying to bribe the officals to not let Neil win. He was cuaght on camera and was suspendid.
Neil was only 14 when he stated playing competitive snooker. there were two goals that Neil wanted to achive to climb the top of the ranks and to make snooker more popular back home.
Neil has done a fantastic effort winning that world championship. He entered the compition with very little money no he is a rich man. Hopefully we can increase the populatity of snooker in Austarlia.

Bibi and Jamal live in afganistan with their family, they want to be the next soccer stars, but their governmentis holding them back. when the government finds out that bibi and jamals mum was running a school they had to get away from the government as far as they could. they take a big long trip to Australia. but when they face pirates, landmines, storms and assassins they just make it.
This book helped me understand what is going on around the world with refugees and asulum seekers. my favourite part of the book was when jamal and bibis dad drove into the soccer stadium to save their mum and threw out bombs. the book is really about what happens to refugees when they try to escape the taliban. it also discribes how it is illegal for girls to play sport and compearing our lifestyle to theirs.
I would recommend the book to all ages and i would give the book a 9 and a half out of ten.

On the boulders at Squeaky Beach
Our camp to Wilson’s Prom was all set to be a great week. Ninety nine students were all ready for the adventure to come. Three and a half hours later we arrived at Wilson’s Prom.
After we set up our tents we had dinner. After dinner we got back on the bus to go and climb Mt. Oberon. Mt. Oberon was tough to climb but it was worth climbing.
The next day we went on a walk to Squeaky Beach, it was pretty good. When we got back we got into our activities. Our first activity was the bikeride to the shop then we walked back to the campsite.
The next day we got straight into our activities, my favourite of the day was the education center. We held a whales vertabrae.
On the last full day we had beach flags. It was pretty fun. We also played beach sports including Cricket, Swimming and games.
On the last day we gathered our beloning and left for home. It took a long four hours to get home.
