CRICKET COACHING

I get the bat from the batter before me.
 “Its my turn’, I say to myself.
I step in front of the wickets ready to hit the cricket ball.
“Are you ready?” says our coach.
 “Yes,” I say.
“Are you sure?” he says.
“Positive,” I reassure him.
I hit the ball and start to run .
It is  the next batters turn.
I go to the back of the line.
‘Swap’ calls the coach.
The batters are now the the fielders and the fielders  are now the batters.
 It is Te Wai’s turn at batting and she misses the ball.
‘Bat down,” says the coach.
 Te Wai  puts the bat next to the wicket. It is time to swap again.
I don't get a turn this time, but it is OK because I had a turn  last time.
“Bat down‘  calls the coach. It is the next batter's turn.
After two  bats, it is another ‘bat down’.
The next time, I don't hit the ball as far as I did before but at least it is not a bat down.
“Time to go to you classes,” says our coach.
Cricket  was fun!

  Summer hit the ball so hard it floated in the air. Bang!  It hit the green grass.

On Thursday my classroom played cricket at school.

The man said to me, “It is your turn now. Are you ready?”

” Yes,” I said.                                          

When I was the batter I had such  fun. When I was fielder it was not as much fun as batting.

Some people were very good, and some not bad, but pretty good. I was really good. I bet everyone had so so much fun playing speed cricket. The whole senior syndicate did it at the same time. All the other classes enjoyed it too.

When the man said, “Time to go back to your own classroom now”, I was sad.

KIS ROADSHOW

Children from Kamo Intermediate School came to do the KIS Roadshow.  We all went outside to watch. I sat down to wait for them to come out.

First was the kapa haka team. I felt excited and really, really happy. After that one of the kapa haka girls sang a song all of us were cheering for her and clapping for her. She was Sheridyn or Sophy's cousin. The girls who were telling jokes were so funny. After a while 8 or 7 girls sang the lazy song. We all sang together then in a minute or so, I got up and we all danced. Then we had to sit back down and Stephaine and Rivez

did the 30 second game. At the last part the bell had rung. I felt so sad because she said that it was the second to last song. We all stood up and danced and had fun.

Last of all the senior syndicate stood up and sang our song. Then it was time to leave. I hope they come back again.

Kerikeri Rippa Rugby.

Ecstatically my heart was beating like drums playing. As I ran down the sideline, I dived and one point went on to my team. It was one whau to Whau Valley. When that game finished it was three all.

We made it in to the knock out round. As the whistle blew, they tapped and passed. We easily turned it over. Now it was our turn to run easily Liam tapped and passed to me. I felt ecstatic that I had got the ball. I ran and danced to the side and then danced to the other side and then I passed the ball and felt good about myself that I didn't get ripped.

We were on our last rip.

“Liam!” I shouted. I got the ball and ran. I ran through their defence like a hot knife through butter. I was up to the last defender. Phoenix gassed up behind me. I passed the ball right before their fullback ripped me. Phoenix drummed up to me just in time. I passed to him right as the defender ripped me. Phoenix ran up the line.

“GO! GO!” YELLED MR JERKINS. There was no one in sight. He planted the ball right in the middle of the goal post.

The whistle blew and the ref said, “Try”. It was the other team’s ball. They did a high pass Drums was short but he still intercepted it and got a try. But sadly we were still one point behind. The buzzer was about to go. We tried as hard as we could until the buzzer went. The team were eating our lunch and the principal Mr Clark told us that we had made it into the knock out round. All of the team was amazed we got warmed up. If we win this, we will be able to go to the NORTHLAND game. We would have got free ice creams and what not. We had to win it but there were some really good people in the Kerikeri Primary School.

It was nil nil. They scored a try in the last few minutes. Whau Valley lost the game. When we left we still had our heads up. We pulled up outside the school with grins on our faces. But in a disappointing voice we said we lost but we were still proud of our selves.
