Jerry Collins Dies In Car Crash Current Events

Who: Jerry Collins

When: 6 June

Where: France

How: Collided With a bus


What happened:

Former All Black Jerry Collins died when he and his wife crashed into a bus. He played 48 tests and scored 5 tries for the All blacks and also played in France, Wales and japan after leaving New Zealand. He played for the Hurricanes 47 times and he  was known for his hard tackling. Police think they crossed the motor way and crashed into a bus. The  accident is still under investigation. Police think Jerry's wife fell asleep when the crash happened and died.


My opinion:

I think his death  is sad because Jerry Collins was a very good tackler and played very good rugby for the All Blacks. I think it is a big los to the rugby industry. He was also a young man. Also a young dad.

Cricket Tests current events

http://www.kiwikidsnews.co.nz/blog/black-caps-win/

The Black Caps secured their first test win in England since 1999, and the team’s fifth Test win in England. The result squares up the two match series following their loss at Lord’s last week.
At the end of the first innings both teams were even, however, a stunning second innings from the Kiwis put them in an unbeatable position. Scoring 454 at 4.98 runs per over left the hosts stunned and they were unable to block out the match.
Boult, Craig, and surprisingly Williamson were the key bowlers on the final day. Player of the match was BJ Watling who anchored the second innings at a time when the match was still in the balance.
Despite the win, the Kiwis could only draw the series – as a result they have slipped on the ICC rankings from third to fourth

pirate treasure

Pirate Treasure Discovered

• 
  

Underwater explorers in Madagascar believe they have discovered treasure belonging to the legendary 17th-century Scottish pirate William Kidd.

A 50kg silver bar was brought to shore on Thursday on the island of Sainte Marie. It was found in what is thought to be the wreck of the Adventure Galley.
One of the explorers believes there were many more silver bars still in the wreck and they have no doubt the bar is genuine.
The bar, which is marked with what appears to be a letter S and a letter T, will be exhibited in a museum.

Who was Captain Kidd?

He is thought to have been born in Scotland’s Greenock or the Dundee area in about 1645.
Captain Kidd was supposed to deal with pirates, a job he was appointed to by the British authorities. However, he later became a ruthless criminal and pirate himself and was executed in 1701.
In 1698, he stole from the Armenian ship, the Quedagh Merchant, which was carrying satins, gold and silver.
Captain Kidd was captured and brought back to London. He was found guilt of piracy and the murder of one of his crewmen during an argument in 1697. He was sentenced to death.
Afterwards, his body was dipped in tar and hung by chains along the River Thames to serve as a warning to would-be pirates.

Lego Bridge Current Events

http://www.kiwikidsnews.co.nz/blog/the-lego-bridge/

Who: Megx


What: Lego bridge

When: Over Four Weeks

Where: Wuppertal Germany

How:  Built to look like 
 Lego

What happened:

A bridge in Wuppertal Germany has been designed to as appear as though it had been built from lego!!
Street artist Megx spent over 4 weeks creating it and bringing it to life. The bridge was once apart of the Wuppertal Bewegung an old train line. However it has now been converted into a path for pedestrians and cyclists to use.

My Opinion, I think it is cool because it was used as a train track. I think they could have left it like a train track and  made it look like lego. 

pets day

 On Friday we had pets day. In the morning I picked some flowers and some leaves. When I got to school I made my sand saucer. First I put sand on. Then we put leaves in and some flowers in. After I did the sand saucer we went on the mat. In the afternoon we went to the pet parade. First we saw the working dogs with Mrs Duncan. They could pull sleds and they can pull a bicycle too.

Oli's Duck Shooting Season

Duck Season Started

Created on May 5, 2015

• 
  

Have you been hearing a few unexpected gunfire bangs down by the river lately? Well Duck Shooting explains it all with the duck season now being underway. The hunting organisation, Fish and Game, are expecting great things for this season as they have said that duck numbers in the North Island are reasonably healthy, which is a positive sign for hunters.
With the Taranaki season just starting two days again, the 10-bird daily limit for mallard and grey duck has a lot of people urging to get down on the rivers/lakes. However the season is only a short eight-week period, which is in order to ensure that population levels can be maintained.
Meanwhile in Auckland-Waikato regions, duck population numbers are only just returning to normal after several years of spring floods. As such their season is halved to a short 4 weeks, with shooters having reduced bag limits.
Fish and Game said eastern areas were hopeful of a positive start with mallard numbers appearing to be up.


When;  Autumn
who;  Duck hunters
where;  All around the country
How; with guns
What happened;
on the 3 of may the duck shooting season started with a loud boom! The limit of ducks to be shot per day is 10 and it is only going to be 8 short weeks and in Auckland and Waikato it is halved to be four short weeks because of several spring floods.

My  Opinion :

I think when it floods there should be a longer shooting period.
