Ki o Rahi training

 The year 7 and 8s really enjoy being outdoors and getting into their sports. This term we will be playing Ki-O-Rahi. After a few minutes the students got into the game like pros. But practice makes perfect so they will keep at it. 

Term 1 Kiwisport

The sport Room 7 did during term one was Ki-O-rahi. A high energy sport with a cool origin story. When I first heard about it I thought the rules sounded rather intricate anot worried that the students would get confused.  Boy Oh boy, I was pleasantly surprised. Room7 was pros. They knew what go do and follow the instructions really well. I think I am still confused about the rules.

A tribute to a hero

After the tragic passing of the American professional basketball player Kobe Bean Bryant, his daughter Gianna Bryant and the others on the helicopter flight, Room 7 made a tribute in their memory as the feelings in the class were still raw.

Basketball is a much loved sport in Room 7, as they spend most of their time on the courts during lunch time.  A sport that fosters team work and physical fitness.

Softball

Room 7 are filled with sporty students that love being outdoors and so Wednesday Lunchtime Softball sessions have been great fun. We enjoy being outdoors in the lovely sunshine we have been getting lately in Auckland.
