Softball

 This year was my first year participating in Softball. For my first year, I say I did pretty good. I only went to training because I couldn't make it to games. The season is still going but I decided to drop-out because I have too many sports going on during school I can't make the after-schools. I had an experience I haven't felt in a long time. Although I dropped out I had fun, and it will be forever in my memory. I have family and friends playing in Softball but I just had to let them go😂😂 I love Softball, and I love my family!

Tournament Reflections

 This not, but not all just from this term, we have experienced major challenges. Not all from learning and education, but also from sports. Our sports throughout this year have been challenges that God has put before us. Therefore, leaving us having to thrive through those challenges. I love sports as much as anyone. All throughout July-September was netball and league. Summer sports like touch, rippa rugby, beach volleyball, softball, and many more have come to my agenda. I'd like to thank Komene Marino, Whaea Michelle Tito-Brown, Whaea Matekino Rakete, and Whaea Lana Geisbers for putting me in the right body shape to shine and succeed through these events. Special thanks to Matua Komene! He doesn't get paid, he volunteers and yes, he does get hard on us but look where that has gotten us too. I just learned how to play volleyball and softball this year, but we won all our games in volleyball and haven't started on our softball games yet.  Me and my best friend, Kuini had an amazing experience in Kensington playing Badminton. There is a post about all of these sports except Softball, which I will get to soon.

Kensington Badminton Tournament

 Yesterday Kuini and I went off to a badminton tournament in Kensington with the Year 9-10. This was an outstanding experience since we haven't played in almost a year! It started off casual, you know like I did lose the first single set, which was a real challenge. My team was Tiakina, Amoron, Kuini, and I. Tiakina and Amoron were one double team, and Kuini and I were the other. In the double, we won 13-19. In our other single it was 17-21 to Huanui and in the doubles, it was 20-21 to them. I mean for a whole year without practice I say we did pretty darn good! It wasn't just us cheering on the sideline though, Jesus was there supporting us every way possible.

Labour Day

 Thsi week I was supposed to be learning about our annual Labour Day. I couldn't get it finished because I was too busy at Kesington playing Badminton. Down below shows my google drawing I created about two minutes ago show you all the information about Labour Day. I hope you enjoy because I did😂

Rippa Rugby

 Today we had a rippa rugby tournament at the K.R.F.C here in Kaikohe. We learned how to do set plays, such as Johnny, B Johnny, and Johnny C. We did extremely well. Komene Marino (again) and Matua Te Rangi Allen helped out the classes of year 5-8. I had so much fun! Komene only trained us for around one week straight and because of that, we won all 4 of our games! I made a new friend, actually! His name is Kyro. He was our opposition but I had a mean laugh with him... We also did a relay race and we came second overall, in the relay, again! We versed both K.I.S teams, Kaikohe West and Kaikohe East. It was really nice to compete against anyone but COVID-19... We cheered for JESUS, prayed for JESUS, and declared JESUS throughout the day.

Volleyball Tournaments

 This Thursday we had a volleyball tournament in Whangarei, which was surprisingly fun. The girl's volleyball team went down with Whaea Matekino Rakete. We lost to Te Kapehu Whetu, but winning is just the bonus! We prayed before and after all games and because of that, we succeeded. Training makes perfect is the motto I think😂 Anyways I'd like this very, very special moment thank Matua Komene Marino, Whaea Michelle Tito-Brown, Whaea Matekino Rakete, and Whaea Lana Geisbers for taking the time to each us and prepare for our amazing performance🌺 I take my hats off to our competitors and opposition for giving us the opportunity to actually play😅 Mahina, Kuini, Hilda-Jean, Fern, Atlanta, Taylah and I went down and declared the name of JESUS, and because of that we came 2nd overall!! Komene trained us ready up for a whole 3 out of 4 games won! Thank you Jesus for Komene!
