Kiwi Sport : Folauhola

Today was  our second session of  Touch, It  was very different. I  learnt that at beginning of the game you have to tap the ball  on the ground to start and when you are about to pass the ball. Touch is a  very difficult  sport for me because I’ve never played it. I love playing touch because it helps me with other sports too like Netball. I am looking forward for the next session next week !

Room 7 Touch Tournament

Sweaty and hot Room 7 was at the field playing touch. Getting up to play was tiring enough for me, however it was a time to bond with others.
I felt weired and odd due to the fact that it was during our learning time. But we had so much fun. No reading, no writing or spelling. Hip, hip, hooray.

Yay, the game was just about to begin. The two referees blew the whistel and up went the ball in the air. I gasped for air before lunged to catch. Here I came. "Passed! Passed", the others called. Over to Francis, he ran, unfortunately the defense was so great. No gaps. He turned back, looked around and passed to Ayden.

The seven minutes went so quickly. Our time was nearly over. We were steaming hot. The referee's whistle blew and the game was over. We went out with frown faces. We lost. Despite loosing the game, we had a ball of a time. The funny part was that we had Mrs Tui (our teacher) on our side. She was good.

The next two teams went up to play. It was a tough game. They were so good. It was like watching the world cup. The referees had a hard time having to monitor the game.

When all 4 teams played we went back to the classroom and refreshed ourselves with cool nashi pears. What a great day we had.
