VolleyBall - Kiwisport

Kia Ora! And many more greetings to you all!. 

This morning, Kia Manawanui syndicate had trials for the Volleyball game tomorrow. 

The tournament is held @SelwynCollege. Orakei. 10 April 2018. 

This is the first ever Volleyball tournament, Tamaki Cluster has ever had. And I am really excited for the game. I do hope I have been selected in the year 8 game. 

Although, here is a little reflection I have completed about my session in Volleyball. 

Volleyball: 

Here are some basic rules that may help you, if you'd like to play Volleyball anywhere.

- When it's back to your teams serve, always rotate Clockwise. 

- If you are to set the ball, use your fingers, not your palm. 

- The boundaries are out of the square. 

- Three passes in your team before it goes over the net. 

Something I've learned from my volleyball skills, is that setting the ball is one thing I am good at. And that it is also easy for me to dig my hands underneath the ball, to help it travel over the net. 

I do well at setting the ball to the other pairs in my team. But, something I need to work on is serving. 

Setting the ball - When I set the ball, it helps one of my pairs to get underneath it and set it to the next person. This helps to get the ball over the net. 

Serving - For me, serving is harder than I thought. E.g - When I serve the ball, it goes from straight to another direction. - My goal is to keep the ball straight for it to go to the opposite team. 

During this game, I've realised that the pairs in my team and myself were working as a team and were also communicating. This helped us to keep the game going, without the ball touching the ground.  

Communication - Communication helps the team know what to do. E.g - If I was to tell Aumau to pass the ball to me so I can set it to Grace. That'll be 3 passes. So when it gets to Grace, she'll dig the ball over the net. 

Teamwork - Teamwork can help your team to communicate with the pairs in your group and can also help you to know what to do. It is a little bit like Communication. 

2 players that I thought did well today, was Aumau and Grace. 

Aumau - He was good at setting the ball. And was also good at communicating with the team. 

Grace - Even though Grace would fail at serving the ball, she'd never GIVE UP!. She kept trying and trying until the ball went over the net. 

This is the end of the Volleyball session, I have had.

TALENT SHOW - REFLECTION

TALENT SHOW REFLECTION

Kia Ora ! And many more greetings to you all!

As I gave you information about a Talent Show being held @TamakiPrimarySchoool. 6:00pm. 5th April 2018.

Last night, this Talent show was finally held. We also had a special performance from a young kid who is famous for being in a reggae band - T.H.D .. You may already know who this could be. - Yes it is General Fiyah.

Besides our special guest - This Talent was to celebrate students talents and also to help fundraise for our Camp.

Here is my reflection below:

_________________________________________________________

I had 3 performances to share with my school audience.

A song - I know the lord : A dance - Azonto : And also another song - THIS IS ME. From these three items, I really enjoyed the Azonto dance. This was because I got share an item with two best of my friends. This also helped me get grooving and helped me to move my body.

I really enjoyed the Talent Show. And I hope we could do this once more again.

Throughout the Talent Show - I hope'd that our voices and dances really hit the audiences hearts and captured theirs eyes. I also hope'd that we engaged them to keep watching our performances.

From what I could see - The audience we had LOVED our show.

The practices we had before the performances made my confidence boost up. I did have a little bit of nerves, but it did go away.

During the Talent Show, this is when my nerves started to fade. I now became even more confident.

When the Talent show was near a end, my feelings started to switch off. This feeling hit me hard.

This is because, after I became confident enough to perform - I didn't want this Talent Show to finish.

At the end of the Talent show. Kia Manawanui syndicate performed a whole song together to end the night off.

This song is called "This is me" - Artist - Keala Settle.
