Kiwi Sport - Volley

Today Rm 7 had their 2nd session with Coach Antonia for Kiwi Sport - Volley.

First, we got into 2 pairs, and began t pass the ball by digging it over to your partner. Next, we remain with the same partner but instead of digging the ball, we set it over the net to you partner. Lastly, we were split into 6 groups, so 4 in a team. I was in Group 3 with Mata, Dallas and Taki. I had fun, playing and learning in the same time playing Volleyball with my class.

Kiwi Can

Today, Room 7 had Kiwi Can, with Mr A after Morning Tea. In class we sat in 4 lines on the mat and Mr Afutoto introduce himself to the class, because officialy our teachers are Mrs Tuia and Mr Numia but there absent today so Mr Afutoto came in today as out teacher. Our theme today at Kiwi Can was 'Resilience' and the Topic was 'Goal Seting'. Resilience mean coping with Challenges, and bouncing back up, which means Never giving up. Goal Setting is something you want ahieve in future, and Striving to Succeed.

After talking about our Theme and Topic, we moved on to the next activity which was a game and it was 'Rock, Papper, Sissors'. Mr A played it diferent, like we had to challenge each other for a peg. Each person gets 1 peg each, then vs someone playing Rock, Papper, Sissors, and who ever wins gets their peg from the other person and if you have no pegs on you, good bye, you are out. So basically, the peg is your life, and your trying to get more lives. After that, Mr A seperate the Girls from the Boys.

 Us girls had to vs each other and try and get the most pegs, but if you have none, you are out. So who ever gets the most pegs out of the girls, thats the Best girl, but at the end the Best girl had to vs the Best Boy. The Best girl, was Mele and the Best Boy was Levi G. Mr A was in the middle of Mele and Levi G and said 3....2....1..GO!" Levi G shoots Sissors and Mele shoots rock, all the girls cheered for her and we were so happy but Mr A said there's 1 more round, so he let Mele and Levi G of to their group and dicuss what should they think beofre actions. All the girls whispered to Mele to do sissors and thats what Mele was thinking about too so Mr A called them back and said "GO!" rock, pappers, sissors, Levi G shots pappers and Mele shoot sissors, everyone started cheering for her and she thought she lost. It was fun at Kiwi Can with Mr A.

Kiwi Sport - Volleyball

Today I had fun playing Volley as our school Kiwi Sport. It was our first session playing Volleyball for our sport. Antonia, was our coach for today. She is from the Auckland Sport.

First lesson was to get into pairs. I paired up with Mata. Next we were given intruction to do with your parnter. We had to pratice passing the ball over the net by 'Digging' the ball with both of your hands crossed and bendiing you knees, then Dig.

After that Lesson, we had another technic called 'Set'. When you set, both hands in the air and use your finger tips to push it up and over the net. Mata and I were very good, with keping the ball in the air. Next we did the 3 hits, it was kinda complicated for me but we kept uing the technin we learnt (set,Dig) and it was much easier.

Lastly, Antonia split us up into 4 groups. I was in group 2. We had to vs the other team and who ever wins vs the other who had won the other game. The first team we'd vs was group 1. They were alright, but not that much teamwork going around. The next team we vs was group 4. Group 4 was very challenging for us but when Luisa and Danny Joe set the ball up, I ran and done a spike to the other team, that was cool because that was my first time spiking.

Kiwi Sport - Netball

Today we had Kiwi Sport for Netball with Coach Anne. Coach Anne is from Auckland Netball. We were learning how to Pivot and to jump and land on two feet on the ground. Next we got in to 3 groups of 7, and line up beetween the Hulahoop and the Balls. We had a relay by passing down the ball to each student in the line and into the Hulahoop. Lastly our last activity was kinda like Rugby Netball. We had to get into 2 lines and one team had no bibs and my team wore bibs. Coch Anne had to throw the ball into the midle and we had to catch the ball and throw it to the people that was in your team and try to get a score. At the end of the court, Coash Anne drew a line across the court and that's our tryline. The first team that score's up to 10, they win. My team that was wearing bibs was the first one to get 10 points and we won. The score was
10 - 7. Each team played fair and we had alot of fun.
