Tamaki Rugby World Cup.

On the 9th September 2011, the first game for the New Zealand Rugby World Cup was happening that day so we thought we would celebrate with our very own opening ceremony. The whole school was involved and we all had fun.

I lined up with my class, the All Blacks and waited for the call to go inside. Mrs Parker-Tofa asked me if I would be Graham Henry and carry the cup. New Zealand went in first and Australia followed us in then France then South Africa, Fiji, then Tonga.

After everyone was seated we stood up and sang the national anthem. Mike stood up and said a speech in Maori and Samoan. He did the honors of kicking the balloon to officially open the Tamaki rugby world cup and the games were on.

"People for the Chip And Chase please come forward" said Miss Waetford. Throughout the game Room 1 was dominating the field. People were cheering for other classes, but it just didn't seem to work, they were unstoppable!We headed outside to play sports and try to win that title as strongest class.

The second game to play was the scrum.Our class and Room 2 were the first to go up against each other. Room 2 won that one but we were sure that we were going to get back at them. Meanwhile all the other classes were going head to head in the scrum. The last two classes that made it to the finals were Room 1 and Room 2. Room 2 won but the chants were coming up and we were feeling lucky.

Room 3 was last to do their chants and we were getting excited. Vea walked between us calling the Haka and shouted "Kia Mau!" The boys were slapping their legs and chest and doing the Haka. Everybody shouted and screamed when were done.
Soon after that the teachers were tallying up the scores for the chants.

The Daniel Carter kick was up and Jeffrey and Vaolele were doing it. They weren't the best kickers but they made our class proud.



The overall scores came in. Australia in 3rd, France and New Zealand in 2nd place equal and South Africa in 1st place.

That day was the best because we got to show our true colours and do a bit of team work.The atmosphere was intense and people were happy.

My favorite subject is P.E. P.E is just another word for physical education. One of the reasons I like physical education is because it makes me want to get off the couch and do something. another is because it keeps me fit at school.Physical education is a part of me.

Learning Google Presentation

Today I learnt how to use Google presentations on Google docs. We did a quiz on the All Blacks and had fun doing it.
