Summer learning journey Day 3: (Environment and Exploration)


The task was to interview three friends and ask them what they are most proud of. It could be something that they, or someone in their family, have accomplished. I found it on the site http://www.summerlearningjourney.co.nz and I scrolled under the activity 2. I learnt what my friends are most proud of.I would make this presentation a bit more not plain if I had more time.

Summer Learning Journey Day 2: Sports and leisure (Similes)


The task was to get a person on the site and make similes out of them.I found the activity on the site http://www.summerlearningjourney.co.nz. I learnt to go through the site and find the task I´m suppose to go on. Next time I would probably think outside the box and make my task more interesting and fun at the same time.

The day of nationals
On Wednesday we got up and started getting ready to head off to nationals to watch the kapa haka group perform and hopefully win.We got to the stadium and we checked in so we could get our seats before everybody else we had to wait for everybody to get in the stadium to watch a group perform before our group performed.we watched a group and they were pretty good but they mucked up a couple of times. Te Rau Pou Manawa started to perform and they did beautifully I was so so proud and once they finished we went outside waiting for  Te Rau Pou Manawa to come out so we can do a tautoko for them and the Kaitataki´s.We did tyhe haka for them and then we had to leave straight away.

Maori League Tournament
2 weeks ago the starting of the holidays my league tournament started and it was the first day, on the first day we had to verse three teams Tuhoe, Taranaki, and Bay of plenty. My whole team was so excited and very very nervous... Our first game started and we were playing against Bay of plenty the last time we versed Bay of plenty we won but just by a little and we could not lose this game... the game finished we were so excited that we won we all thought that we were going to lose, we did really well in the first half and then kind of slipped in the second half, we let them get away with 1 or 2 tries and that wasn't good but at least we won...
We had to run after our game to our older teams game to help them out with there Haka.

Our second game we were playing against Tuhoe they looked like they were really hard to play against but we did our Haka and stuck with our strategy and played the game, again we were doing really really well in the first half we were nilling them by 3 or 4 tries and 2 or 3 kicks. The second half started and we were slipping away like we did in the last game we gave away 2 tries but we still won by 5 or 6 tries....

Our third and last game of the day, we versed Taranaki and this game was very important we needed to win. The first half was very challenging we were neck and neck we were in front by a kick, the second half started and we scored a try and got the kick we were still in front by a kick. The man blew the whistle and we won we were in the finals and we couldn't wait for tomorrow because that was our finals day fighting for 1st and 2nd.

We were still versing Taranaki because they were in second place in the tournament, we were coming first so we had to verse them to see who are the champions for the NZ Maori tournament U13s winners...
We versed them it was a really tough game and we were winning by a kick in the first half, in the second half we were winning by a kick and a try. We started to muck around to soak up the time so we make sure we win... We looked at the referee and he blew the whistle the game ended and we were running around and hugging everyone...
We came 1st.

We went to prize giving they gave us our trophy for coming first and then they were announcing the NZ Maori Tournament Team for 2019
They called out a couple of girls and then I heard my name and I was like what the hell I was so surprised I didn't even know that I would've made the tournament team I also had the highest kicking points out of all the teams we versed. I went to go up and we took a photo of the 2019 U13s NZ Maori Tournament Team.
