My last rugby game of the season.

IALT: Write about my last  rugby game for the season of 2017.

Last week Saturday I was up and all ready to go to my last rugby game of the season.I was happy but at the same time sad because it was my last rugby game for Auckland Marist rugby club and also I won't be able to see some of the boys from the team because we were all going off to college next year.The team we were playing on that Saturday were Waitemata,Waitemata were known for having a powerful forward pack but our boys were up for the challenge.Our game kicked off at 11.30 and as you our rugby game is a two half game with 40 minutes each half,In the first half our defenses was solded but one error from our team let them throw to score the first try of the game.But that did'nt stop the boys from working hard,me and the back line were breaking holes in their Defensives line and soon after we were on the scoreboard and the game was all tied up 7 all.Then soon after that our boys were playing smart footy giving the ball to the forward pack so that they could take us up the field with their powerful legs.And then me and the back line wanted the ball because we saw a miss match with their back line because it was 5 of us and only 3 of their back line defending us,so we got the ball and gave it out to our winger so he could use his paces to score 2 two tries,After that it was half time with us up 17-7.In the seconed half it was the same story as me and my team were playing great footy as the team were breaking their D line.To me that was a great game to end off our wonderful season with a win,by the way I didn't know what the final score was.

Buddy Reading.

IALT : Write a Reflection about buddy reading today.

Today after lunch time we were back in our buddy class room 3 for reading time.Today my buddy was hena and the book we were reading was called the gingerbread man,Im sure a lot of us know this story.After reading the book to her she had to read it back to me,in my point of view I knew she could understand the story and she was a good reader.Then I had to single her book log,in the book log you have to put the date in then write the tittle of book then write your name on the side.Next time I think I need to slow down my reading so my buddy can understand what i'm saying.So that was reading buddy for today I really had fun.

Black Ferns into the world cup finals.

IALT : To write about this article I read today.

Our Black Ferns have beaten the United States of America in a 45-12 win to progress to the Women's World Cup final this Sunday.The Black Ferns were too strong and too good for most of the game and they really deserved their great victory over USA. But Coach Glenn Moore of the Black Ferns said that his team made too many errors in their own half of the field and also a lot more errors around the breakdown and gave a lot of possession to the other team in a 45-12 win.The Black Ferns winger Portia Woodman scored four great tries in the game and is now the tournament’s leading try scorer with 13 tries.Woodman said coming into the semi finals, it was going to be hard playing America because they were known to be physical.And also the wonder women Woodman will be playing in her first world cup final this Sunday morning against England,In my point of view I think the Black Ferns are making us proud and I know that they will play their hearts out in the final.

Kiwi Can Reflection.

IALT : Write a Reflection about what we learnt at Kiwi Can this week.

This week on Tuesday we were at Kiwi Can once again,This week we got to Kiwi Can I little bit late because we were to focused on our math's so we totally forgot about it.So as soon as we walk into the school hall our Kiwi Can teacher Ms Lily was waiting there for our class,So she told us that we were going to just get into a game call tag the master.To play this game we had two yellow tags on the side of our shorts and the other person had to try take it,To me it was a good game because it required us to move our bodies a lot so our blood could pump though our everywhere in our body.But the sessions main focuses was about self-control,To me self-control is just controlling your self,your feelings and your thoughts.And one thing just managing yourself positive so thats what we learnt at Kiwi Can this week.

All Blacks to good for Australia

IALT: Write a Reflection about the All Blacks rugby game on last Saturday night.

Last week on Saturday our mighty All Blacks played one of the greatest 50 minutes of footy to beat Australia in a 54-34 win, in the opening game of the 2017 Rugby Championship.The All Blacks were in beast mode in the first 40 minutes,scoring 6 outstanding team tries and after that 2 in the second half.That win means that New Zealand is going to keep the Bledisloe Cup for another year.In that awesome game records were being broken by the All Blacks,They broke the record for the highest points scored against Australia.Which the recent highest points scored against Australia was 42, a record which was set last year by the All Blacks.It was also the most tries scored against Australia in the first half of footy in history,The All Black try scorers in the first half of the game were Liam Squire, Rieko Ioane (x2), Ryan Crotty (x2),Sonny Bill-Williams.And then in the second half the All Blacks were still dangerous with Mackenzie and Ben Smith adding to the All Blacks try telly.This week I think Australia will be up for the test and that they would have learnt what the All Blacks were capable of doing,this week's game will be in New Zealand in,Dunedin.

World's Highest Paid Rugby Player

IALT : Read an article biased on the World's Highest Paid Rugby Player. 

Former All Black Tongan player Charles Piutau is now the world's highest paid rugby player.Piutau has signed a two-year deal with Bristol in England for the next two seasons 2018 and 2019. The deal itself is worth £1 million (NZ$1.78million) per year.Piutau was a standout player last season,Which he earn the player of the year's award and also he earned a spot on the Pro12's team of the season.As you know Former All Black Den Carter is currently at the French side Racing 92.With his deal expiring at the end of next year it will leave piutau at the top of the earning heap.Plus Piutau only played 16 tests for the All Blacks,I think piutau earned this because he had one of his best year's in rugby and he will not let you down if his in your team I know this because he played with my cousin George Moala in the Auckland Blues and also in the All Blacks.

TPS Rugby Team

WALT : Name Our Rugby Team For Weeks 7's Eastern Rugby Zone Comp.

This week the Year 7&8 boys were just talking about the Eastern Rugby zone that was on week 7 of this term.Our coach Kauri asked everyone what position they liked to play then he put our names next to the position,Most of the boys in the team play for Auckland Marist Rugby Club just down the road from our school.Every Tuesdays and Thursdays on Lunchtime we have training,all we did was learn our basic things like passing the ball and tackling so that was our focus for this week,To me the boys are like my brothers because when one of us brothers fall down we pick them up and tell them to keep on fighting.But there was this one problem, all the boys were trying to pick a captain for the team,But then something popped into my head that there should be no captain all the team needed was all that big boys to step up and lead the team so we all agreed to that.And lastly our team Motto was "Fight for each other" to me that was a big part of our team because at the end of the day if we win or lose we all know we fighted for each other and that we played our hearts out for one another,And that we will always be brothers even if we go our different ways when we had out to college.I can't wait for week 7 and i really know our hard work every Tuesdays and Thursdays will pay.

KiwiSport T3 W3 2017

WALT: Write a Reflection on what we learnt at Kiwi Sport today.

The next 6 weeks we will be having Hip Hop for our Kiwi Sport as many as you guys know Hip Hop is one of the most popular dances in the world right now,last week at Kiwi Sport our teacher for Hip Hop Jasmine told us something new about Hip Hop that I didn't know off and that was African Americans and Latinos where the ones who created or made Hip Hop.They made Hip Hop because people were not treating them the same way,they didn't listen to their thoughts so they created Hip Hop so they could express their feelings and thoughts through the dance.So that was something new that learnt about Hip Hop,Today at our Hip Hop class we were learning a new dance move called the Janet Jackson so this move is the same as the dab but you have to flick your risk and do the dab at the same time.To me I think I did great for beginner and also I am looking forward for the next 6 weeks.Next time I need to work on my listening skills a little bit more and also I need to work on facing the speaker when their talking,from my point of view I think you should try it out and see if you enjoying doing it.
