Get your game on!!

 The bell rings for us to go and play. We had got your game on. For our school it was really competitive but sometimes too competitive if you know what I mean. Anyway during morning tea the  kids were all scrambling in the bathrooms trying to shine out in their colours. Our colors are Rata, Nikau, Kowhai and Kauri or Red, Blue, Yellow and Green. All the girls in Rata really went full out with  red lavas, Red face paint, red T- Shirt, Red shoes and Ribbons for their hair. I alway just wore a blue T - Shirt and that's all. I heard the bell go again. It was time for us to go to class and get ready to settle down on the courts.

Room 10´s first game was Lape. It was a really cool samoan game that one of our teachers made. For Lape, the rules were, your class will be separated into 2 teams , for us it was Kauri and Nikau versus Kowhai and Rata. One team will be batters and the other team will me feilding but you will eventually switch. The pitcher will throw it gently and the batter has to hit the ball with their hand. You cannot hit it on the grass therefore that is out of bounds . Lastly after you have hit the ball you run to all corners without stopping and when you touch the middle cone that is a Home run. Whichever team gets the most home runs wins the whole thing.

Our second game was to rob the nest. This was a really quick game. Again we were separated into 2 teams and tried to get as many cones as we could get. When the cones were all finished, before we could steal from the other side we had to do an exercise move 5 times. That was the hardest part. My team didn't win but we still tried our best and cheered ourselves up.

Lastly we played silent ball. Everyone knew how to play this, We just passed it on to someone else without making noise. If you make any noise or drop the ball you are out. However if the game gets a little boring we do hot potato but the same rules apply. There will be more rules added such as one leg up and one eye closed. I won one of those rounds, but I did say good game to the other player. After our game, All classes met back up on the courts. 

Our Deputy principal congratulated everyone for trying their best at all of the games. She then asked  everyone to go back to their classes. This  term got you game one. It was great. I wonder what game the teachers have set up for us Next term.
