Kiwi Sport | Touch rugby

During this weeks  touch rugby we practise two and three men settle. 

A two men settle is when one person plays dummy-half, and the other person is a runner. The runners is the person who gains the metres for your team. Once the runner gets touched he plants the ball. The dummy-half is the person who passes the ball once one of the runner gets touched he plants the ball.

A three men settle is when the runner gets touched , then the dummy-half passes the ball to the other runner which is the third person.

After that we played of touch. My team loss because our defence was poor. We weren't doing any 2 man or three man settle.We also didn't play the ball with a great attitude. 

This session of touch teaches me how to play more smarter and better.

Volcanoes in Maori

This week for Maori we had to translate the Maori names for volcano into English.

For example: Otahuhu- Mt Richmond.

First we tried translating the Maori names of the volcanoes without using a Maori dictionary.

After that we used a Maori dictionary to find the names we don't know.

This session for Te Reo Maori was fun and amazing because I know how to say places in Maori.

Learning these skills help know how to gain metres more faster and get to the try line faster.

Touch rugby | Kiwi sport

 This week for kiwi sport we learnt how to play touch rugby.

We practised drills on catching the ball, passing the ball and moving around with the ball. 

The first drill we did was to help us get use to the ball. The drill involved throwing the the ball in the air, making the ball go under our legs without dropping it.

To pass the ball you have to make sure your teammate is behind you, because if you pass the ball and your  teammate is in front of you that will be a forward pass and it will be the other team's ball.

Then we did a catching technique. The technique is where you make W with our hands. This technique helps you because when your teammate passes the ball you have a nice grip of the ball so it will not drop.

After that we budded up with to did all the techniques by playing a game.

I enjoyed learning all these drills and techniques.

Swimming

For our first session of kiwi sport/swimming we learnt about different swimming skills.

For swimming I learn 4 different skills. The skills I learnt were streamline kicking. I did a streamline by putting my arms near my head.

Then I practise doing freestyle . For freestyle I just showed my swimming ability.

Then I did a submersion where I had to put one arm over another and then I repeated it.

After that I practised a Frog kick/Butterfly kick. I had to make sure my legs help me boast so I could swim.

I had a amazing and fantastic time at the Lmca Pools.

Stance Position:

To do the stance position you have to put one foot in the front of the other. 

Then put your arms on the side of your body.

Then after a serve or if the bows pretty low, quickly put one arm straight out with a fist and then use your other hand to hold your hand with the fist.

Make sure you hit the ball with your forearm with some power so it could go across to the other team.
