Kiwi Sports - Basketball Reflection

Kiwi Sports - Basketball Reflection



It was around 10-11 that we headed down to the courts to do 'Kiwi Sports'
We meet our coaches and they explained how there was Basketball clubs around panmure/Tamaki district.
After that we just got right into it, Split ourselves into 5 teams , did relays, stepping, dribbling and under leg dribbling. It was really, no kidding (For me) difficult. Since I'm not one for sports I struggled to maintain the ball or control it. I got tired really quick and I decided that I would have a break and continue.



We were done. For the next activity we picked a partner (Mine was Lovey) and practiced passing in different ways. We stood afar from each other and waited for the whistle to blow. It started off with chest passes, where we would step forward to put more power into the through. Then we added another ball. This time one person threw overhead while the other did bounce passes, we did it in unison, keeping in time till the ball flew off or we forgot what we were doing.



Finally, the coach stopped us from our continuous passing game and we were split from boys to girls teams. Hoop shooting... *sigh* I walked towards the place I was supposed to stop and bent my knees, just. My arm was bent till it released it and threw the ball into the air. It missed, countless times.

I liked it though and I feel very tired.

MY PERSONAL GOALS FOR TERM 4 2016



Television Teaches Too!! Indigenous Television

Television Teaches Too!! Indigenous Television
- Sharon Parsons

This is one of the books I've read called 'Television Teaches Too' and it's about A woman named Sharon Parsons interviewing maori television about their shows and what they do.

Maori Television is our Indigenous t.v station where they have various shows expressing the maori language and culture, with documentaries, learning shows and other programs interacting with the maori world.
The chief executive, Jim Mather, thought it would be good and other television stations could get together to retain and grow indigenous language and cultures in 2008.
The key message that was made for maori t.v was that you needed to recognise our unique part of our identity by sharing out language and culture with the whole world/country.

#KARMA - Figurative Language

#KARMA

Karma llama goes in my room and makes some drama
Eating my pencils and ripping my papers, 

NO! Karma why would you do that
Blu-blak-bln-nng no karma don’t understand that

Look what you did, my room went through a hurricane
And you know I just cleaned this yesterday, oh wait, you went down to the R.S.A

Karma spit that out, Blahg, Ew what the hell, how do you even seem to- KARMA!! Hurry up and Get down!
Stop throwing your toys around, the kitchen ain’t a playground now, so move over there, and here, Phew~ Got a happy Karma ta-da.

Woow, What’s on your face, looks like a llama ate a whole chocolate cake, that's just amazing
Making a mess all over what i just cleaned? Ha! No i’m not happy, go over to Tawhiri

Clash! Cling! Crack! That’s all I ever hear when you open those cupboards, making me all flustered, I’m frustrated, mostly everything is busted, can you not touch that, karma listen

woah , karma slow down, ‘bout to trip and hit your face in the ground now, better not go and run up the driveway, Darn it, why did I even mention it anyways, running around is not a normal sport for me
