Ripper Rugby

 Ripper Rugby

Today during school, when the bell rang, my class was getting ready to go for Ripper Rugby at 9:00. When the coach had arrived, we all assembled at the field.

The coach’s name is Matt. He is from the Varsity Club around St John's in Auckland. Coach Matt hands out forms to Primary and Intermediate Schools if they want to sign up for Rugby Union at the Varsity Club.

Coach Matt taught us, to put your hands out for the other player to target it, pass the ball back and hold back if they run in front of you. Coach Matt also taught us the rules in Ripper Rugby.

In Ripper Rugby there’s no defending the player, try the ball between the cone, 7 people on the field and equal teams, Off sides, did a forward pass, diving on the ball on the ground, Pushing, Tackling, Fending or kicking the ball, you will have to lose the ball and hand it over the ball to the other team.

Today, was fun because everybody was paying attention and following instruction what coach Matt was explaining to us and also I had fun playing Ball Rush.

Letter

Hi my name is Fusi Fa’avae. I was name after my Grandma who had past away when my mum had given birth to me. I am 12 years old and I was born in New Zealand.

I am Tongan. My parents came from Tonga, but lived in different villages. My dad came from Ma’ufanga and my mum came from Folaha, on the island of Tongatapu.

In school my favourite subjects are, Maths, Art, Music and P.E. I really like learning new things in life and helping others out in their work if they are needed. School for me is a place where I can share my knowledge that I’ve never shared before and not being afraid, because others can help me out in things I'm struggling with and so can the Teachers, they can encourage me through my learning.

In my own time I love to play the piano and ukulele, doing Maths with my cousin, Music and playing Sports. I never liked reading, but what made me read, was the books I was in too. Books I like are Scary books, Funny books, and Nonfiction. Another reason why I read books, is because it helps me understand the word problems in Maths.

My Dislikes

My dislikes are Spiders, Praying Mantis’, and also Clowns which are my biggest fear, but the thing that scares me is a “Molokau”. A molokau is what we called Centipede in Tonga. If you get bitten from one of them, especially a big one, beware, because it will cause swelling and it’s really painful.

My likes

My favourite colour is Purple. I love Spicy food and Sour lollies. YUMMY!. My favourite kind of movies are Horror, Musical, Comedy, and Drama. My favourite sport is Tag, Tennis, Softball, Rugby, Basketball, Volley, and Netball. I play Netball and Volley because it runs through my family. My dad plays volley and my mum plays netball. My mum and my sister plays GS (goal shoot) and passed it on to me, I play GA which is (goal attack).

To me a great day at school is getting along with others, working as a team and having a great day with your class.

When I grow up, I want to be a Doctor or a Musician, and that’s what I'm aiming for.

Earthquake In Christchurch

Christchurch has been shaken by a 5.7 magnitude quake at 1:13pm this afternoon (Sunday, Feb 14 2016). There have been no reports of serious damage or injuries. There was a cliff that had collapsed on top of Sumner Beach. Power was cut to about 500 homes, mainly in the north-east of Christchurch. There was 40 aftershocks that happened after the last earthquake in Christchurch, and it’s still continuing.

Here is a photo of the cliff that had collapsed on top of Sumner Beach.
