Yesterday after morning tea Room six, Seven and eight went under the canopy and we lined up into our house groups and the house groups were Rimu, Kauri, Totara and Rata. Then Mr Bell was introducing coach Trey and coach Trey said whoever won would get one hundred dollars but it was monopoly money and everyone was laughing. Then Mr Bell said the names of the people who were versing each other and Room six went to watch and so did the other classes. Coach Trey was counting up the points and was the referee and some people were screaming for Kauri and others were Rata and the groups were Taniwha and Kioma, Taniwha was the one who tries and hits the tupu and tries to rip the tag of Kioma and Kioma has to hit the pou and score a point, you need a two guardians to block the tupu and the ball is called ki.
While Rata and Kauri were playing Mrs Agnew was calling out the names who were going on next and I was playing in that round; Rimu and Totora were versing each other a little while later and Rata and Kauri too. We had to put our straps on and everything then we went on the field to play. I was feeling nervous and then the game began. Rimu was Taniwha and Totora was Kioma and at first I was doing alright because I wasn’t nervous. I was having so much fun and people were diving and falling and their tags getting ripped off, then coach Trey said swapping over so then Rimu was Kioma and Totora was Taniwha. It was very fun being Taniwha. Then coach Trey said we only had thirty seconds left and after thirty seconds the game ended. We had to swap with the other people who were playing the next round.
We were watching and screaming and most people were enjoying watching the games but towards the end everyone was getting tired. Then some people were looking who was playing next and they said I was playing for Rata. Mrs Agnew said it was almost lunchtime. The game had ten seconds left and then the game ended but there was more after lunch. We said prayers and ate lunch.
At the end of lunch we lined up under the canopy in our houses and then Mrs Bell said who were playing the very last game. I went onto the field and played and it was so much fun. I kept ripping Jacob’s tag and it was so much fun. Then the game ended and we went back under the canopy. The house to win the one hundred dollars was Kauri.
