Basic facts challenges

L.I To remeber basic facts

I did my basic facts boxes. I did the speed up to 10. I got no answers wrong and my time was 9 minutes and 17 seconds. I will go faster next time.

Complex Sentences

For this activity I made an DLO called complex sentence. How to make a complex sentence is to use a simple sentence and add an AAWWUUBBIS in the middle. The AAWWUUBBIS words are after, although, as, while, when, until, before, because, if, since. If you change it to the other way it will sound correct. To find more infomation to make a complex sentence look at my slide that I made.

First waka

Originally there were no people in New Zealand . The first people to settle in New Zealand  came in a series of waka. The first ten waka were named:Kurahaupō, Tākitimu, Mataatua, Tainui, Te Arawa, Aotea, Tokomaru, Horouta, Uruao, Ārai-te-uru.

Most of the waka visited the North island. Some of the places the waka landed at were Takapaukura, Takou Bay and Kaipara Harbour.

Rippa rugby

Rippa rugby is a sport were we put two tags on our waists and the other team has to try and rip the rippas from the opponents. If you manage to do that then the person who got tagged has to pass the rugby ball to another person from their team. If your team gets tagged 5 times, it is a hand over and you have to give the ball to the other team. Its also a hand over if your off-side, out and knock-on.


For Rippa Rugby we had a warm up for our game. The warm up was one person run's with the ball to the blue cone and pass to the other person 2 times then run to some other cones and zig zag thro all the cones go around the flag then run back then pass the ball to the next person.

Then we played the real game. if you get a red tag you go to Ice if you are Green tag you go to 
oane. But ther is also no defending or steping if you also rip someons tag of they tap 
and pass to someone else in there team. If you foward pass you pass the ball to the other 
team, if it's a knock on you tap and pass.

When catching we had to make a W shape and catch the ball. After that the last person will have to throw to the other person on the opposite side and do the same thing back. After that we played Rippa rugby. We tried our best but we ended up in a draw. I had fun and I would like to play again.
