For this activity I have to give 2 reasons why should Spain stop this popular activity that is called "Bull fighting" 

My 2 reasons

1. Because when the matador help kill the bull they will get hurt and broke their arms,legs,heart and the most important part is your brain because you could get brain damage and no one would want that even your family and friends wouldn't want to see you in the hospital.

2. For people to fight a bull is a serious thing, Why? because your going to risk your life killing a bull when you can go visit family across the world and many more.

At the end we had to find out if it supported our prediction in the beginning. It was very fun making our Straw Rocket so when we are learning rockets we know what to do with the learning of Mr Dunn's.

So they pick a colour of there hockey stick or there clothes colour and then they have to run. The taggers have to try and take the runners balls out of the court. It was fun but I went out at least i tried my best. After that we had to get into partners and hit the ball on your stick and give it to your partner. We would like to thank our 2 coaches Carly and her team mate.
