The Haka


Passionate about their Haka the warriors frightened South Africa as they were about to battle. South Africa was intimidated by their strong and powerful fierce war cries. The All Blacks threatened them with their throat slitting action.


Piercing screams were heard by the crowd as the All Blacks were feared by South Africa. Shouts and screams of the All Blacks were petrified the Spring Boxes. Preparing to battle South Africa froze with fear because of the Haka Actions!

Badminton


Badminton in the school hall is so ENJOYABLE!!! I love going to the hall to learn about badminton because it’s AMAZING!!

Donna our instructor showed us 3 grips. Underarm, forehand, and a trick shot. Using those grips I powerfully hit the shuttle with my racket and of it went to my partner.

Donna then taught us how to hold the racket. Once our whole class learnt how to hold the racket. We then went on to learn about the overhead grip.


I held the shuttle in my hand and accurately served at my partners head! Soaring like a bird the shuttle flew back and forth between my partner and I. My partner hit the shuttle back to me, and Donna shouted “shuttles”.

I cant wait to go back and learn some more about badminton!

Healthy Food


When you’re a kid you have to eat healthy foods. Children need five serves of carbohydrates a day, two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables. Don’t forget the dairy products and meat too!

Fats and sugars are needed in our diet too, but only eaten in moderation. Juices and fizzy drinks are treats. The best drinks for kids are water and milk.

Now you know how to eat healthy!!!

Kiwiana


Ki ora, and welcome to New Zealand. We live in an isolated country which is a home to many different cultures. It is a very unique country and our kiwiana is very special to us.


The Buzzy Bee is a famous icon to New Zealand. A toy and crafts man, created the colorful wood toy sometime in the late 1930’s. New Zealanders love Buzzy Bee. It is seen internationally on stamps and magazine covers. As you can see Buzzy Bee is a treasure to lots of people in New Zealand.

Do you actually know what a tiki is? I’m guessing not. The
term tiki refers to a carved human figure and is part of Maori and
other pacific culture. It is a famous New Zealand icon.

We are very proud of our culutral country and our kiwiana. New Zealand has become more than we have hoped for and we are happy to share our country’s kiwiana with you.

Jonah Lomu


A Rugby Union player called Jonah Lomu played 63 games as an All Black after debuting for the All Blacks in1994. He was massive ,but fast. Jonah Lomu is thought of the first global superstar, he was a very intimidating player.

Sadly Jonah Lomu had kidney problems. He had dialysis in 2003 because of his kidney problem. Because of his dialysis he couldn’t play rugby for the All Blacks. Grant Kereama donated one of his kidneys. Jonah Lomu was able to play rugby again.

He then went on to play in Wales and Hong Kong before finally retiring in 2007.

William Webb Ellis



The game of football was played by a school called Rugby School. Hundreds of players were able to take part in this game because there was no fixed limit to the number of players. Major injures were caused by this game. They were permitted to handle the ball, but they were not able to move with it.
In 1823 William Web Ellis ran with the ball to the opposition’s goal. This innovation of running with the ball meant the game of Rugby was introduced sometime between 1859-1865.

Beep Test

“First up are the girls” Miss V said. We got up from the ground and made our way to the yellow line. Waiting for the test to begin I got myself ready. “Breathe in and out!” I whispered to myself trying to save my energy. Soon a voice called out from sound system. “ Level 01.01” it called. Jogging towards the cones, I was able to get there in time. “BEEP!” went the speakers. I ran to the other yellow line hopping I wouldn't get out.

Out of all the levels I got 10.05
