NZ Rugby Union Wants Me To Play for the ABs!

Last week on Friday our school had a visitor. We played Rugby. It was fun playing rugby. Kurt had a rugby ball and we played Ripper Rush. He said to jump into pairs and we played hunters and deers. We changed over when we played a game called rabbits and rats. Our last game was Ripper bullrush.

It Always Rains When We Want To Play Rugby!

Friday afternoon and Kurt from KCRFU strolls into our school to teach us rugby skills. We're ready to start and so does the rain. Putting the ripper rugby belts on was easy. Our first game was Hunters and Deers. Hunters have to try and rip tags off and Deers try to run away. The second game is Rats and Rabbits. Lining up in straight lines, Kurt calls either Rats or Rabbits. Lucky last game is Ripper Rush which is exciting and enjoyable. Ripper Rush is just like Bull-Rush. I thought the afternoon was awesome and I can't wait to learn more rugby skills next term.

Rugby in the Rain

"Hey bloggers it's me Te Kohau. I'm a new student at Te Kura o Tahaaroa."
Here's what we did last Friday afternoon. Our school had a visitor named Kurt from KCRFU come to teach us some excellent ripper rugby skills. As we were getting ready it began raining. Man, that wasn't good. But still out into the pouring rain and whipping wind we went. First Kurt told us what we were going to learn, before getting into two teams, the Blues and the Whites. I was in the White team. From there we played the game Hunters and Deers, which was our first game. Carrying on to other exciting games, Rats and Rabbits, and Rippa Rush, we were soon laughing heaps. Man, that was fun. Unfortunately the rain was getting harder by now, so we had to head back inside before we got totally soaked.

Farewell Tata George

Friday, and Tata George had his tangi at Te Koraha Marae here in Tahaaroa. It was very sad. The aunties in the whare-kai cooked nice kai for us and the manuwhiri to eat. All the tamariki played games outside. We all played bullrush, rugby, and then touch. Sometimes we climbed up into the tree-hut. Ngaremu just about fell out of the tree. Back in the whare-kai the kai was just about ready to eat. It looked nice and it tasted nice too.

Learning Cool Rugby Skills

Last Friday we learnt some new rugby skills from Kurt from KCRFU. First we played hunters and deers. The blue team were the hunters, the white team were the deers. We had to rip the tags off the other team. Later we played Rats and Rabbits. Sometimes you got confused when Kurt would call out 'rats' or 'rabbits' and you would end up running to the wrong side. The rats and the rabbits game was the last game that Kurt showed us before the rain came pouring down. A cool rugby afternoon.

Look! There's A Huhu Beetle

Once upon a time there was a little huhu beetle. He climbed up a big tall pine tree. Up at the very top of the pine tree the little huhu found a hole in the tree trunk and went inside. It was slippery inside the hole. The little huhu slid down, down, down. He couldn't stop sliding. BANG! CRASH! Suddenly he hit the bottom of the tree trunk. He hurt his nono. The little huhu found his way out at the bottom of the trunk and slid home with his sore nono. The little huhu's mum said "You naughty huhu. You could have died." The little huhu decided never again to go climbing up tall pine trees ever again.

Huhu Grub In My Kitchen

Once upon a time there was a huhu grub who could fly. He was flying around outside my house. He then went through the kitchen window and into the cupboard. He saw some chippies. "Yummy." he said. The huhu grub ate five chippies. He flew around the house again to try and find a new home. There was a small hole by the door. He flew through it and escaped outside.
