Poi rakau

 This week is Maori language so we're getting intronuced to more maori food and games, Today we played a game called 'Poi rakau' this game is when each person playing has a wooden stick and stand in a circle.

'Whaka te Maui' is Left
'Whaka te Matou' is Right

How the game goes is you all stand in a circle and one or two person stand aside and yell out either Whaka te Maui or Whaka te Matou, Slowly people start to get out as you start to go faster. It leaves you with two people. the person/people that stood aside is now going to stand in the middle of the two people and yell Whaka te Maui or Whaka te Matou, if they both drop the stick then you have to keeping going until one person gets out.

James Naismith

James Naismith was the inventor of basketball, One new thing that I had learnt about his throughtout this task is that he was told to make a new physical contact sport to play for when football season ended. Me and Alanna had been given a task to make a powerpoint by our teacher about James Naismith and his story of why he had invented basketball.
