Purerehua Poem


Purerehua Poem

 Scurrying around in the sand
Searching for the perfect piece
Found It

Polishing and painting
Cutting and tying
I hear the loud deep sound of purerehua
Attracting Lizards

Sanded and drilled
Painted and polished
Plaited and Knotted
My perfect purerehua
Making the deep sound of a moth

Te Uru

WALT Participate in the learning of others.
Why? Building on our transition into high school
s.c : be active participants in a new cautral game.
:use our listening skills, watch,ask questions and practice


10CH Grey High came to our school on the 28th of August to teach us a game called Te Uru. They taught us some drills before we started the game and also the rules. The first drill was we had to throw a ball to someone and they had to catch it with a flat hand because you were not allowed to catch to ball with two hands or without a flat hand. The next drill was we had to throw to ball across the circle to others and the two people in the middle would try and intercept it and the last drill was another passing drill and we had to call out their name before we passed or else we were out and also if you dropped it you were also out.


My favorite part was the calling drill because it went on forever. Next time I think they should make the field bigger so then we can have bigger teams so we all can play. They could also pay more attention to the game instead of going off and playing your own games.
