What Do You Know About Tee Ball

 What Do You Know About Tee Ball?

                        

In Te Ngahere we have been learning a game called Tee ball. When we got to the field the year fives were already playing so we had to wait for them to finish but when we watched them we could learn off them and see some tips of how to play. After they finished I had to do rock paper scissors to decide whos on batting team. I lost rock paper scissors so my team was fielding first. When we started to play we had to decide who could stand on different bases. When we did the person who hit had to run straight after he or she hit the ball. If the fielding team tapped the orange mat with the ball before he or she got there the person who hit would be out. I really enjoyed learning how to play tee ball and I hope that we can learn more tee ball throughout the term. Have you ever played Tee Ball?

 Crick-Tastic Cricket

On Wednesday Te Ngahere went out to play cricket. We went outside and then we  met this guy called Neil he was our cricket instructor. First he talked to us about how to hold the cricket bat and told us the stance to stand in. when he finished talking he made us get in a pair of two. When we got into groups we had to decide who was going to be one or two I was two and my partner Jamie was one Jamie was the first on to hit the ball. There was three balls that we could hit so when he hit one he could just put another one on the cone. It was annoying because he could hit it far so I had to run back and forth. When it was over we had a new game to play it was called speed cricket. We had to get into teams and then we were either feilding or bating  we had to swap over if we got all the bats out.

The Brutal Boxing.

In the weekend my family and I went to a boxing match. We went there to watch my brothers friend fight , I had never been to a boxing match before so I thought it was going to be exciting. When we arrived I had just woken up from sleeping in the car so we got out and waited for my sister to find a parking spot. When she finally did we went inside and then this lady had to mark our hand so if we went out and then wanted to come back in we had to show a security guard our mark on our hand. So when we went in we found a seat and sat down the first match didn't start for about ten minutes. So we just went and bought something to eat before the match started. When the match started it was amazing the first guy to throw a punch lost because he was using all of his energy on the first round. But by the time my brothers friend came on I was really excited so after the ref stopped talking he came into the ring and the two guys started to box. On the first round it was quick my brothers friend was good at punching and the other guy kept letting down his guard so he lost the first round. I really enjoyed watching the boxing and I hope I can go to another match.
