Volleyball

On Wednesday the 10th we went to volleyball at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama to compete other schools

around the manaiakalani cluster. We went there by bus and there were 3 teams that came with us the

yr6, yr 7 and our team the yr8’s there were 2 yr 8 teams and we all had coaches the yr6’s had

Mrs Atuahiva the yr7’s had my mum marryan and the yr8’s had Mrs Tiana and Mrs Tofa.

We arrived at the stadium and when we first got there I felt nervous because there were a lot of schools that are

good. When we all got inside it was massive and then we saw seat’s for us. We went to the top row and when

I looked down I made me even nervous because when you are playing everyone can see you and when you

make a mistake it feels embarrassing.

The yr6’s team went to go to their game first and our whole school was cheering for them and it was cool.

Whenever they get a goal we cheer and when the other team misses we encourage them to do better

but the yr6’s team won from our school they won against rotoportaka. Then it was the yr7’s turn to play.

When they got on we also cheered for them the yr7’s team was good also the other team which was

Tamaki primary the school that we are friends with so we cheered for them to.

But then it was our turn the yr8’s I was feeling really nervous because people were looking at

us but on the other side we have our school cheering and I felt happy. We were playing against

ruapotaka and we served first. Lucky we got the first point that we served. Then we served

again and we missed but it was ok we were just getting started. We played and played and

played and then we won we didn't know what the points were but we didn't care at least we

won and we were good winniers not bad winners. I really liked it when we won because it is a

great feeling so then we finished and went for toilet break.

Than we went back to our seat’s and had a rest. I started eating but then the teacher said

“ don’t eat to much we got another game soon”. We all finished eating then some of the

Tamaki primary student’s came to sit next to us and we all were watching the games that

schools were playing. We cheered for all the schools then we had to say goodbye because

we had our game next.

We were versing Glen innes and I felt excited since we won the other game and then I had

the energy to play again. We served to them and they did miss but what they did is that they

digged it than gave it to the front then setted it up to the right side of the person and spiked.

That was the only team the has ever spiked on us then they keeped on the repeating the pattern

and unfortunately we lost against them and went back up disappointed but Mrs tiana said

“ don’t be like that yous guys did great”.

We made a huge success because 3 teams came first which was the yr6 , 7, and year 8 team

 but the other yr8 team came 3rd which is a huge accomplishment for our school.

I feel so happy the we at least came something especially 1st I wish in the future

we could go again to the volleyball tournament.

My reflection about teaching room 9

This morning I went to room 9 to teach them about the brain nervous system.
I really liked them because they were active listers and every time we called
their name they will respond nicely to me and my other two friends who are
kue'a and stanisloe. 


We first talked about what is the brain, what is a brain nervous system and
also how many parts of the brain there are. But they all said
" Nah that's boring" but then I told them "after talking about these we will play kahoot.
Then they started listening to my friends and me. 
We said every time you get it right you get a point also I said:
"whoever is first I mean the most points they get a treat" when
I was only joking.

But now it came to the end and we said " Get ready for kahoot "
Than they started getting ready and doing all their stuff. 
So we played and played different games created by our other classmates
and every time they play I feel like they are getting smarter and smarter
because they weren't getting any questions wrong.



I feel good because It's my 5th time actually teaching kids like room 9
I really loved it they were active listeners. I felt respected like I was a role model
I really hope in the future I could teach that class again.
