Rippa rugby
For the past two weeks we have been learning how to play rippa rugby. The skills that we have been learning are passing, ripping and side stepping. With passing we learnt that we should use our whole body not just our arms. For the last session we were into two teams and then we had to wait for room 15 because we were going to play them in a game. While we were waiting for them my team play a little game of touch rugby. When they came we played a game and our class won. I really enjoyed coaching my team and our team did really well.It was really fun playing rippa rugby.

The adventure at Waihi
THE ADVENTURE IN WAIHI
On the first day of the holidays, good friday we went to a family reunion at the Waihi motor camp. There were people in our family from all sorts of places in New Zealand like wellington, Napier and many many more. The things that we had planned for the reunion in waihi we were going do a walk through these mines. We were also going to have a look at this gold mine that they have been looking for gold since 1900. Also me and my friend Oliver were going to go fishing for trout in a river right next to the campground that we were staying at.
The next day we decided to go for a walk at this place called the windows walk. But we had wait for some of the family because some of them were walking and some of them were biking. I was in the car with dad, my step mum, me and my sister. We got there and while we were waiting we decided which was the best cave/tunnel to go through because there were multiple ways to go. When we had decided witch walk to do we decided to do one that had on big long tunnel/cave that was pitch black and once we had decide then we were on our way.
When we reached the cave/tunnel most of us had a torch which was most of the girls because they were scared of the darkness. As we were walking along the pitch black cave/tunnel we were getting wet because the top of the cave/tunnel was dripping with drops of water, getting all of us wet.
After we reached the end of the cave we had been walking for about one hour. Then we asked these two ladies how long until we got back to the car park and said that it was thirty minutes away. We decided that we should carry on along the track but I had a feeling that we weren't going the right way because we had come from the other way. But every parent says that they are always right so I carried on with the rest of the pack. Then we reach this sign saying DICKEY FLAT CAMP GROUND and guess what... that was the wrong car park. We carried on because it would have been another two hours until we got to the right car park. Then the worst happened it started to pour down with rain and we didn't know where we were and then we found out that we were no longer in Waihi. We waited just in case the rain would stop but it didn't. Luckily my step mum got through to her mum and then said we need help and we are at dickey flat camp ground. Ten minutes later there was about five cars that came to our rescue.
At the end of the trip to Waihi and looking at all the caves and mine I had a great time. But who knew you could get so lost in Waihi by just walking for two hours and then it can turn for the worst. I think next the family might pick a town that is a little bigger that Waihi.
