Ki-O-Rahi
Coach Shanice coached us for Ki-O-Rahi. Te Wairua Pakiki 6 played Ki-O-Rahi on the field,
but we didn’t play first. We listened to the rules of Ki-O-Rahi,
then Coach Shanice split us into 2 teams. Then Coach Shanice told 1 team to go
between the red cones and the other team to go between the yellow cones.
I was chosen to go to the red cones, then we played. When we played Everly and Pauliasi
had to guard the Tupu (the rock). When I was playing I felt excited! and tired at the same time.
