Ki O Rahi|Reflection

This week for another fun day of Ki O Rahi, our coach was Shaneese. For this session of Kiwi Sport, we played the real game of Ki O Rahi. We were split into two teams. One team was the Taniwha team and the other was Kio Ma. Kio Ma started with the ball, by kicking it to the guardians in their team. The guradians tried to catch the ball to pass it to their teamates. To earn points Kio Ma ran and touched as many poes, then tryed with the key. We were all wearing tags. Taniwha tried to hit the tupu/rock with the key. They also tried to rip the other teams tag from earning points and get the key. Together as a team we worked collaboratively and hard.

For our fourth session of Ki O Rahi, we were learning about Kio ma and played golden child. Our coach was Shaniese. We each had turns of kicking the ball and being the guardian. After learning about the start of Ki O Rahi, we played Golden Child. For Golden Child taniwha hit the key to the tupu to get kio ma out. Kio ma had to run and hit each poe with the ball. I've had a lot of fun playing Ki O Rahi which is a Maori legend game.

Kiwi Sport|Ki O Rahi

This week for kiwi sport we did Ki O Rahi, which was a Maori game. Our coach is Shanice. For Ki O Rahi, there were different places, like the ice bridge, the tapu, the poe and more. For kiwi sport we played Golden Child, but the Ki O Rahi version. There were two guardians around the tapu, so they could defend the ball from touching it. Only the guardians could go through the ice bridge. One team was Kio ma and the other was Taniwha. Kio ma had to run, touch the poe and put the ball down near the ice bridge. Taniwha had to throw the ball to the tapu, so that the person running has to stay where they are. The last person running was golden child. Next week we will play a real game of Ki O Rahi.

This week we had a great start to Kiwi Sport. Our coach was Shinese. First we started off with watching a movie about the story of Ki O Rahi to understand a bit more about the game "Ki O Rahi, which we will be playing for Kiwi Sport this term. In this video I learnt why the game was played. It is to make peace and solve conflict. After that we went outside to play a few games. Firstly we played "Taniwha and Kio Ma", which was like "Bunnies and Rabbits". We played a few rounds of this game, then moved onto the next one. This game was called 8 passes. For this game we passed the ball to each other eight times. We were in two teams. This next game included sports to play. We played these games, because next week we will be playing the actual "Ki O Rahi" game. Also because the key of Ki O Rahi is the ball. I've had a great time and had a lot of fun.
