Football Skill's Day

Kotuku went to a football skills day at the Memorial park. It was such a hot day. The game we liked was called 'hospital', there are 2-3 taggers. If the a tagger tags you, have to put one arm behind your back. If you get tagged another time, you put the other hand behind your back. Then when you get tagged again, you hop on one leg. Then if tagged again, you crawl on your knees. But when tagged once again you're dead. Another game we played was stuck in the mud. There were two taggers, if you get tagged you have to stay still until you get saved. To save someone you have to crawl under their legs.

Tom was one of the coaches, he taught us stuck in the mud. Tom's nick name is 'The Machine'. We all saw the 2015 Under 20's cup. It was shiny. There were free sausages too. 

At the end of the day everyone was sweating.

Aboriginal Culture

In Kotuku class we read a book about a girl who was half Aborigine and half white. One day she got stolen by the Chief Protector and  taken to a children's home and she lost some stuff from her culture. Some things that she lost were fishing and swimming in a stream, sitting by a fire and her dress that her mum made for her. One day she woke up before anyone else and went up and got the key then she took her first steps towords home.
