Horu Hopu

 Horu Hopu

On Wednesday, I arrived to school at 7.45am in the morning with a smile on my face.  I was so excited for today! We had a Horu Hopu tournament out at Patutahi. I met my teacher in the hall at 7.50 so we could leave at 8.00. My friend Betsy's mum was taking me, Betsy, Prince and the teacher.  On the way there Betsy's little brother Amos was singing this really funny song and we were all laughing at it. 

 Getting started

Once we got out of the cars, Koka Rozie gathered us to talk about our exciting day ahead of us.  She encouraged us to try our best and have a positive attitude and to have lots of fun! Our first game was playing Manutuke. We were very nervous but also very excited! We lost the game but I think we learnt heaps and worked well as a team. We walk but over to where to were we put our bags before the game started. We were kind of board and there were lots of acorn's on the ground so we started making a big pile of peled acorns.

Before we knew it, it was our second game and we were playing St Mary's . I was looking ford to this game a bit more then the first game because we learnt quite a lot from the first game. In between our first and our second we had a 25 minute break so we practiced our passing skills. We hoped on the field that we were playing on  and got into our position. And the passing skills were worth it because we one but we sadly lost the next game.

This time in between the game's it was an hour so in that time we peled more acorn's and we practiced more of our passing until it was our next game. Agin the time in between went super fast so it was already time for our next game and we are playing Hobin school and they had all different aged people so it was a bit confusing. We hoped on the field and got into our positions. And again the passing skills were worth in because dan da ra ra we one our last game.

At the end of the day we packed and then went to the front so we could have a end of day karakai and then we hoped back in the car's. On the way back to school we begged Betsys, Mum for an ice-cream on the way back to school maybe but then we ended up not getting one. When we got back to school everyone ask us were we had been and we just said no were.
