Te Uru

Walt participate in the learning of others.

Why: Building on our transition to high school.

Success Criteria: Be active :use our listening skills, watch, ask questions and practice.

Yesterday 10CH from Grey High School walked to Karoro school. They came to teach
us a game from a different cultural for a project called Te Uru. First they explained the
rules which were you when you landed you couldn’t walk with the ball and when you
caught the ball you had to catch it with a flat hand. They also explained that there
were 4 dots and the aim of the game was to remove them. To remove them you had to be on a dot and catch the ball without dropping it.

We then did a warm up which was seaweed, it was a bit hard though because there
were so many people. Then we did some drills, my favorite drill was the one where
you passed the ball around and if you dropped it you had to sit down.

After that we got sorted into two teams and we played the game. It was a bit chaotic
though because we had to many people so it meant that it was hard to play. In the
end the high school students came off and it was a bit better.

I think next time they should have the teams organised a bit better and maybe have
to games going at once so that it isn’t as crowded and the high school kids can play.
They should also have two referees because people broke the rules alot and got away
with it. Overall it was very fun and I hope that they can come and play again.
