This week we had our softball competitions at Mt Wellington War Memorial Reserve. We played against many schools. I was in the year 5-6 team. We had different teams depending on their year. We comppeted against 4 teams. Our first game was against Pt england. We sadly lost to them. After that we vsed Panama Rd school, won against them.

Then we made it to the finals and had to play to a team in the other pool that is second place. We competed against Glenbrae. We sadly lost to them. I really enjoyed winning to some teams. The areas on a softball match is:

Fielding ( Where you stand at the bases and fill the empty space of the field. 

Batting ( The batting is when you try to bat as far as you can to so the fielding people have to try get the ball and through it at someone of which base you are going, if you are past all 3 bases you have to try make it home.)

Pitching ( Is when you through the ball to the person who is batting so they can make it to the bases.)

GAMES:

We first played a game to get a our skills ready for when we learn  how to play a real game of Ki O Rahi. Our coach Sharnise split us into 2 groups, 1 group called Kioma and the other called Taniwha. It is exactly like Rats and Rabbits but we changed the name to what is related to the legend of Ki O Rahi.

Then we played another game called 8 passes. The Kioma team had to put on bibs. we had to pass the ball around 8 times with our team and try not let the other team get it by intercepting and defending. This game was with netball rules.


The next game we played was a sports mash up. We had to get in the line with our groups on the opposite sides of the court. If Coach Shanise says Netball 3 people then three people would run around the hoop of there side and play a game of Netball, If you get a goal then your team gets a point. Also if she says 5 people touch or basketball. Any sport she says and the amount of people who are going to play the game.

This is how the game works, Miss paige or Mr Alapati would say Eyes down then we out our head down and if they say eyes up then we look at someone until they say eyes down. If you look at someone and they look at you then you both are out. The two winners were Mr Alapati and Alayah.

Our activity was called Midnight tunnel. We had to get into a trio and number ourselves 1-3. If our numbers gets called out then we run around the circles and the other two make a tunnel so the other partner gets to go under and into the middle. The last two people who are going to the middle are out. Them and there team is out.
