Ki-O-Rahi Writing

Who:  Rm1 and Rm 5

What: We played a Moari game named Ki-o-rahi

Where: On both of the school courts (Outside)

When: On Monday the 29th of June

Game 1: First Mrs Moala gave us a belt and
two different coloured tags and then
Tyson the teacher that was coaching us
taught us how to play and then he put
us in Taniwha or Kioma. My group was
in Kioma with green tags and the other
team Taniwha with purple tags.
Then we started the game and I
was put as the person to touch
the rubbish bins with some other
people that were in my class.
In the middle of the court the
two people from my team had to
protect the tupu so that the other
team didn’t get the point.
It was a tough game but we
still tried our best to get
the point for our team. Moui,
that person that was in our team but
he was meant to be in the other team,
had made us get points also Jayah,
we then got some points. This game
was a little hard because the year
8 boys were so competitive when they
were playing. We played for a while
and then we had to switch.
We had to defend the other group
from throwing the ball at the tupu
so that they didn't get any points.
As we were playing the yr 8 boys
then had to leave for their camp
meeting and we were now in the lead
because the yr 8 boys had left and
we had our opportunity to win.
We then won the game by 18 to 12
points and we were so happy about it,
after game 1 we had to go to game 2
on the other side of the school.

Game 2: After we went to play on
the other court and played again.
First we got one person on each team
to do rock paper scissors and we won so
we chose which team and we chose Taniwha
the other team was very good so we switched
and then we were Kioma and we were doing good
we got a few tries and lost then a few people
stayed behind and helped then we went back to class.

Thank you to Tyson and Mrs Va’afusuaga for
setting up Ki-O-Rahi. We really enjoyed playing it.
