My Profile

Hey everyone this is my first blog back from the holidays!
I just wanted to share what we have done, everyone had to create a logo/profile for themself and it has to describe yourself. 
I would love to have some feedback how I could improve on making it look professinal but creative? 
I used the app pizap to create this and google drawing!
I decided to use the colours black because it means mystery and power and I used the colour white because it means pure and innocence.
Check out the photos below to see what I made!

Our last game we lost to 7-11 but it was a hard game and we had fun so thats all that matters.

We had trainin every Wednesday with Donna aka our coach!
Our training went from 12.15 to 12.40

On Friday our game goes for half an hour. after our game our other coach Amy we play games with her, streching and learning new skills.

I have never played Netball on my whole life until I had to play because we didn't have enough people to make a team.

William Pike

Yesterday William Pike came in to our classroom to talk about the challenge! http://williampike.co.nz/ that's his website!

He  told us the story and it went like this, Just after dark one evening on Mt. Ruapehu, William Pike was about to doze off to sleep when 1.5million cubic meters of mud, water and rocks erupted from the mount. Crushed and critically injured, his partner had no option but to leave him for help. What followed was to be one of NZ’s most dramatic alpine rescues, and an epic story of a man’s will to survive in an inhospitable environment. He became critically hypothermic and doctors and rescue authorities noted his survival as ‘a miracle ‘. Among other life threatening injuries, his right leg was amputated below the knee. 

That's a picture of him!
