Paintball

Hey guys its Sam and today I will be talking to you about paintball. I was asked to choose a sport to do as a long-term sport not like soccer or rugby, so I chose Paintball. some people would be scared to play this sport but really all then people are really nice and the paintballs only give you a few bruises and don't hurt that much, like a bee sting that lasts for a minute, really its not that bad. My home field is at thunder ball off the motorway by Porurua in wellington, come join us! to join a paintball team you have to have a Mask or helmet a gun a vest, hopper or mags a gun cover or sock, paintballs (of course) and a vest with clothes. I play in the woods and forests with an addition of dday maps (a map where you have one team defending a building or bunker and they can not come out for 5 mins, and another team sprinting and sliding up a path from the sea to try and capture the base. it is usually a massacre for the running team.) Some of the tactical gear you can get are: Flash bangs, a grenade that blinds you for a matter of seconds also creates a huge noise (usually illegal in NZ but you still can find games that use them,) Paint grenades, a grenade that blows up when triggered or on a timer to be thrown. Claymore Mines, a movement triggered paint grenade pointed in a certain direction to blow up. Mortars a huge paintball launcher that is pointed in a direction and fired from a standing position. All in all I think that paintball is the best sport that there is.

hope to see you there

BACK IN BUSINESS!

Welcome back to my BLOG I am Sam and this is my year eight blog year seven is down in 2014 but we are in 2015 so lets get on with it. These First few weeks have gone really well, getting to know the class and having most of my friends in my class too, so that's a good start so far. Also we get to make some amazing artwork like Lego self portrait things (they look amazing) we also get to do lots of sports which in my opinion is really good. Oh and i have not mentioned the best thing we get to go on THE YEAR EIGHT CAMP! OPC! (Outdoor Pursuit Center,) we have waiting all year seven year for this and now we can do it! the task system this year is really good because it is really easy sometimes and really hard other tasks i find that good so you cant do them all in one day so it drags it out all week, so you have something to do every day. all in all I think that this years tasks are going really well and i am really looking ford to all the perks of year eight, we can achieve the excellence badge and can become part of the Catholic character team also you can go to YEAR EIGHT CAMP!
Good luck to all the year eights this year
