Scooter Tips

How to bar spin on a scooter.  First you need to have wide handled bar scooter, like an Apex or Mad Gear Scooter or something like that.  Next, put half your hand on the grip and half you're hand on the bars, put your foot down on the ground and get the spinning motion.  Finally, do it without your foot on the ground.  That is how you do a bar spin.

My favourite sports

1. Tennis, I really enjoy tennis because it is a single player game and sometimes double player.  Tennis is a sport that strengthens your hand muscles and helps you keep focus because you always have to keep your eyes on the ball.  There are lots of moves you can do, forward hand, back hand, serves and more! 

2. Soccer,  I really enjoy soccer because you can always rely heavily on your team members to back you up.  Soccer helps you move your feet round fast and teaches you good sportsmanship.  Just like tennis, you always need to keep your eyes on the ball.  You learn skills like dribbling with the outside part of your foot, rainbow, dodging, taking the ball off a player from the other team and so much more! 

3.  Water polo I really enjoy water polo because, just like in soccer, you can always count on your teammates.  You also learn how to hold the ball in one hand.  The rules are sometimes confusing but I really enjoy it!

Trying new things

Trying new things 👍🏻 Trying new things is a great. Sometimes you just need jump into a freezing pool of risks that will soon turn into a warmer pool of happiness. Maybe when your friends say things like "come on Ben, do a flip!" Just do it. When you try new things it might become a hobby.  For example, when I first tried rollerskating I was so scared I might fall down and now its become a hobby of mine!

SORTS!

Sports!! I will be talking about rugby, soccer and cricket. Rugby is a really tough sport because you get hurt a lot when you tackle the players on the other team. Also you score try's. When you get a try you convert the kick, if you miss the kick you get no points, if you get the kick you get 2 points. SOCCER! Soccer is an awesome sport because it is really fun and you can become a skilled player and score. Soccer coaches can teach you new skills to improve your play. Cricket! Cricket is fun. I love batting and bowling practice. Cricket is the best sport ever. I practice at home with my friends and family. I love sport!!!

The Great Escape!

Faster he told himself or I will get caught.  He loaded more apples into his cart. Greedy the rat, he told himself, that's all I need.  Suddenly a cat saw a fat rat.  Greedy shot off swiftly on his horse and cart. Oh no the horses broke free. What shall I do? Thought Greedy. Pop! He was thrown with his apples into his hole and he had a feast.

Greek God: Zeus

Zeus, God and in fact, the ruler of the universe. He and his children were legends of Greek Mythology but not many children smile at the thought of receiving a book about it, so I will share what I know about Zeus to get more children interested in Greek Mythology! Zeus' children include Hercules, Athena, Hermes and Cupid. Most of Zeus' children take after him so they are brave, strong, wise and best of all; immortal! If you had the gift of immortality you would live forever, so in theory immortality was very important to Zeus because ruler of the universe is a full time job and if he was not there chaos might strike. Zeus kept his youthful looks by drinking nectar and eating ambrosia, the special food for the gods, but if a mortal (people like you and me who don't live forever) ate ambrosia or nectar, they would become immortal! Zeus had a bucket full of thunderbolts that would never run out because of its magic. If anyone upset Zeus, he would hurl a mighty thunderbolt at them. Zeus created storms with his thunderbolts.  With the help of his brother Poseidon he created storms at sea. I hope you like my post about Zeus and I also hope that this will help more children be interested in Greek Mythology!
