Week 3 Reflection

This week we learned about 2 new games, both of which have originated from New Zealand and Maori culture. On Wednesday we started with Te Uru. We split into two even teams and got the equipment out, which included about 12 rubber dots ( we placed six at each end of the court) and a dice shaped ball with flat sides. After learning we started to play the game for the rest of the period. I really enjoyed the game as it was something we hadn't experienced before and involved different skills than what we were used to. Today we played Ki O Rahi. Some of us had played before so that helped with our understanding of the game. We also split into two teams, one was predominantly attack and the other defense, although both could score at any time. There were sections on the court we were and weren't allowed in and if our tags were pulled it was a handover and the other team had the ball.
One challenge we faced in Te Uru was that we could only handle the ball with a flat palm. We overcame this by catching and passing close to each other which made it easier.
