The Duffy Assembly

Yesterday we had a visitor come to our Duffy assembly. Her name is Jo Holley. You may have heard of her because she is a T.V presenter and has been on Squirt, Sione’s 2, ITM Fishing, Crowd Goes Wild and more!

Entering the hall, I could see 2 guys who were Ronn and Austin from the Bucklands Beach Lions Club. It was a while before she came so we sang some songs. When she did turn up, she told us that she got lost and drove around the roundabout 5 times. While she was here she told us about reading and how it’s important. She explained that she had to be able to read so she could read her script.

Once she was done with her story Mr J started handing out the duffy books. He started at 23 and 24 (The new entrant classes) then 1 and upwards. Then Jo Holley said she would sign some of our books. Unfortunately we weren’t opening our books today. We had to wait until tomorrow.

Soon the assembly ended and everyone went back to class. I couldn’t wait to get my books.... tomorrow!

Why Does A Bee Sting?

Rarely do bees sting, unless they get provoked or annoyed. Alarmed when you try to kill them, there is a chance they could use their weapon that nature has given them. Their stingers.


On the end of a worker bee’s stinger, there is a fine sharp barbed tube. When stung, poison is then injected into you.


Most people knows that a bee can only sting once. If we get stung, normally people instantly knocks the offending bee from where it has stung. This prevents the bee from being able to withdraw the barb naturally. It then dies.


If we do not pull the bee away from its body, it can sting us as much as we allow it to.

Handball

At extension we chose one of the Olympic Sports. Some of us created a movie.

There is also a goalkeeper and only the goalkeeper is allowed in the goal area in front of each goal. Sometimes other players can jump into this area when attempting to shoot at goal but then they must release the ball before landing.


There are twelve teams in both the men’s and women’s competitions.
14 athletes- There are seven players and seven substitutes on each team.
