Matariki

Matariki

The week room 7 is leaning about Matariki there some facts and photos.  

     Matariki is the Māori name for the star cluster known as the Pleiades. Traditionally for Māori when it appeared just before dawn in late May or early June, it signalled the start of the Māori New Year. For some tribes, the rising of Puanga (Rigel in Orion) signals the start of the New Year.     

                                                  

I was so nervous that I was going to drop the ball since my mates passes it at me. The ball felt like it as going so slowly as it came towards me. Then I see a boy start to jump towards the ball. Then I here go Hame go Hame the jump to and then I get the and I see a gap in the side line and I burst through the side and then I see a boy chasing me and I see the try line the I dive for the try. After that I did an impossible try and then the crowd shout for me and then I run to the crowd.

My Rippa Rugby Experience

During the first term two Waikowhai Rippa teams went to Cox's park to compete in the Central Mixed Rippa Competition.

Waikowhai 1 won our three games 4-2, 9-2 and 8-4 and qualified for the quarterfinals where we played against Halsey Drive 1  Beating them 6-3. Waikowhai 2 also qualified for the quarter finals winning 2 of their 3 games but unfortunately they lost in the quarterfinals but they did amazingly well.

In the semifinals Waikowhai 1 played 3 time defending champions…Bay Field scoring the winning try in just before the final hooter winning a tough exciting game 8-7. Meaning Waikowhai 1 were in the finals against Dominion Rd Primary School  Tau’s new school.

In the finals Waikowhai 1  battled it out in our hardest game of the day with the scores tied 8 all at the final whistle. But because we scored the first try the mighty Waikowhai 1  won the whole tournament for the first time in the school's history. Now we are going to Eden park to play, to become Auckland champions  against only 4 other teams from the Auckland.  We hope that you can come and support us in our mission.

Here is a video of me playing. Please feel fee to leave a comment.
