what am I poem


What am I
I can’t stand on my own
But people think I'm great
It gets cold where I live
But it keeps me safe

I'm a go to when you're sad a glad
Everyone has a favourite
I come in different sizes

You can have me most times of the day
I am one of New Zealand's top choice
You can find me on the shelves of the supermarket
You see me at the beach

I am a late night snack
Whatever flavour you choose I will still comfort you
Sometimes I will hurt your teeth

What am I

Mustang ride book review

Mustang ride

This book is about three lovely sisters, their two friends and  Mustang Horses. They travel to America for The Mustang Challenge. 9780143770169.jpg

The girls buy wild American horses and train them at the American stables.
They have 100 days to get the horses ready for the competition.

Personally, I love this book, it has been the best book I have read in the past year. I would recommend this book to people who are interested in horse riding. Even if you don't like horse riding, it is still a great book full of adventure and challenge.

This book is written by Kelly Wilson.

Attack
Defence
Game Plan/Strategy
  • Use balls other than netballs that aren’t as heavy so the speed of the travelling ball also speeds up the game.
  • Just try and get all the balls in one team’s goals so they will get more points
  • 4 players from each quad are allowed to sit on the bleachers to stretch with their arms and intercept flying balls.
  • Four players are allowed to stand up in their quarter for more defence
  • People on the perimeter of the quad pass the ball to someone closer to the bleachers to allow them to throw it further into the opponent's area.
  • Try and get the ball where there are no people
