Diving

Diving is a sport that has been in the Olympics since 1904. It is an  international sport. In the Olympics there are no 1 meter springboard dives just a 3 meter springboard dive and 10m high platform dive. It is a sport for acrobatic, athletic people who can balance themselves and people with flexibility and kinesthetic and air awareness. These were the most common characteristics in this sport.

The way the diver performs is crucial. the judges score 3 points for the flight, 3 points for the entry, 3 points for takeoff and an extra point they can add for excellent diving. Extra height means a higher score. The body position of the diver has to be straight and both  feet together at all times. The diver needs to have an accurate dive and has to perform stunts like somersaults and twists. The more complex the moves the more points they can score. But you also have to enter the water vertically. The athlete with the most points is declared the winner.

Soccer

SOCCER…

Walking to the courts we had seen our new Kiwi Sport teacher waiting next to the netball hoop near the staff room. She Told us her name was  Sophia. “Please sit down so we can get started on our first lesson”. Said Sophia.

Sitting down, Sophia handed out  blue and yellow bibs to half of the class. Getting a blue bib from Sophia I tucked it on the side of my shorts. We all had to spread out across the court. Before we got started Sophia told us all the rules. 1) We could only get or have on bib. 2) We were not aloud to fend. 3) We weren't aloud to  hide the bib in their shirt.

Running like a loose dog round and round the court, it was to hard for the ripper to take my tag. I protected it like it was my own child. There the whistle went, suddenly everyone around me had stopped in an instant.

You show empathy by understanding and share other peoples feeling. Empathy  is about respect, humbleness and honesty.  Another thing about empathy is by understanding  other peoples culture ,example: if a person is standing and eating people might think that he is  really rude but its that persons culture.

empathy so the boy or the girl will be your friend.
