Should they allow mixed teams in the Rugby World Cup?

Should they allow mixed teams in the rugby world cup?

I think that they should not allow teams to be mixed in the rugby world cup because both genders already have a Rugby World Cup, some teams have different advantages to other teams and both women and men are already successful in their rugby world cups.

My first reason why they should not allow mixed teams in the rugby world cup is that both genders already have a world cup. Why would they change teams to mixed when the women and men’s world cups have been carried on for years. The first men’s world cup was on the 22 May 1987 and the first women’s world cup was on the6 April 1991.

My second reason is that some teams may have different advantages than others. If a team had all men and another ream was mixed both teams have advantages to others. This makes the game unfair and not fun.

My final reason is that both genders are doing well in their rugby world cups. If both genders are already doing well why would you stop them? 

Both men and women are succeeding so i think we should not mix the teams up because both genders already have a Rugby World Cup, some teams have different advantages to other teams and both women and men are already successful in their rugby world cups.

The Shy Turkey That Catches Butterflies

Once there was a turkey his name was Gobble. Gobble only liked to eat butterflies so each day he went out and caught a whole lot. But one day the butterfly leader became fed up. “Why is this turkey eating all of my people!?” he said.

The next day Gobble went out for his daily meal. As he was walking out the door a hole S.W.A.T team of butterflies surrounded him. The butterflies Shouted. “Surrender or else!” Gobble answered with... “or else what, you can’t hurt me you're just a bunch of small puny butterflies.” The butterflies said. “Maybe we can’t do anything but Mother Nature can.” What are you talking about. Said Gobble “ We’ve made a deal with mother nature.” “ We’re gonna pay her to get you banished from the meadow .” “What.” Replied Gobble “Yeah that's right you're getting banished from the meadow.” The butterflies said. Gobble replied. “NOOOOOOOOOOO.” “We won’t be seeing you.” One of the butterflies said in a cheeky voice.

Later that day Gobble was sitting in his house thinking about how he could persuade Mother nature not to banish him. “Hmmmm how can I stop Mother Nature from banishing me.” He said to himself. “ Ah got it.” “I can tell her that I should not get banished because I will become homeless.” Gobble fell asleep thinking of what he had planned for tomorrow.

Early the next morning the butterfly S.W.A.T team woke Gobble up. Mother nature accompanied them. “Wake up Gobble we told you this was gonna happen.” the butterflies said. “Ok I’m coming Gobble replied.” As Gobble stumbled out the door Mother Nature was Standing there looking very angry. “Why have you been eating the butterflies.” “I’m sorry your majesty I was only eating them because I had no other food, sorry.” Gobble pleaded “Aww sorry.” “you butterflies are real rascals aren't you trying to get gobble banished, apologise to him.” Mother Nature said “Sorry.” the butterflies replied. “It's alright.” Gobble answered. Gobble scurried back to his bed thinking about how he didn’t have to use his plan.

Amazon Rainforest Fires

Amazon Rainforest Fires

The Amazon rainforest is the world's largest rainforest! Or is it…

This year Brazil has had around 72,000 wildfires and around half of those have been in the Amazon rainforest. This means every minute, one and a half soccer fields of the Amazon rainforest are being burned. Since this has happened an 80% increase in deforestation has occurred this year. Many scientists say that it could irreversibly turn into a dry savanna.

These fires can cause a lot of impact to global warming, as the forest produces 20% of the worlds oxygen. The Amazon constitutes 25% of carbon sink globally, so losing it to the atmosphere is a huge problem towards global warming the smoke from the fires are visible from space.

Digestive System

In our class, we had a task to write an informative report on the digestive system. The report had to include most of the body parts in the digestive system, and what they do to help the body. 🍔🍟 

This is what I created. 👍😄

Digestive System 

The Digestive System is one of the many systems in our body. It is a very important system, as it keeps our body filled with energy. The Digestive System is made up of hollow organs. The first is the Esophagus.

When you smell food your Digestive System is already working as it creates Saliva to clear all the bad things in our food. Once your food has been broken down it flows down your Esophagus. It then transports food and water to your stomach.

Moving on to the Stomach. The Stomach is one of the bigger organs in the Digestive System

It receives all the food from the Esophagus it is filled with acid which dissolves the food you eat. The mashed up mixture is then transported to the small intestine.

The small intestine is the longest organ in the digestive system because when it is fully stretched out it is roughly 6 metres long. The small intestine's job is to absorb the nutrients from the food we eat and turns it into energy. From here the food mixture is carried to the large intestine.

The large intestine is smaller than the small intestine by a long shot, but is just as important. The large intestine absorbs the water and the remaining mixture is transformed into feces.

The Anus is the last part of the digestive system. The Anus tells your body whether or not the mixture is a liquid, gas or a solid. The last step is to dispose the mixture as feces.
