Lockdown Learning😱👌2.0

 This year covid is back so that means lockdown. I never saw it coming. My mum got an email from the teachers it said lockdown learning is back. I thought to myself NOOOOOOOO!!!Trapped with my family for ages! It couldn't get any worse.

The next day my mum got another email that we could pick up our chromebooks to work on. It also meant we would have google meets. I could finally see my mates. I logged into my chromebook and got onto a google meet and saw all of my classmates. The teachers talked about what we where going to do this week.  

There were some new tasks it was interesting. My week felt pretty normal except it was at my house. Everyday me and my siblings and dad would go on a massive walk to the end of the beach. It was hard But there was a plus side to it all once we got to the end we saw a seal. he looked pretty cool. So over all I have had a pretty good time so far.

Rugby Game!

 It  was a Friday morning and I had a rugby game at 12:00 Pm. We were going to face Awapuni and Cobham school. We weren't so sure if they were good or not. At about 11:30 am we had to leave to Awapuni school. We had the first game. We were going to face Cobham.

I did paper scissor rock with their captain, he had won. He said for us to kick off. My mate, Vinnie, kicked off and it landed, bounced back and forward. Finally one of Cobhams players caught it and they ran. A person from my team tackled them. The ball got lost backwards. My friend Momo grabbed it and ran off, he got to the end and got a try. We had to kick to them again one of their players caught it and sprinted down the field, he stepped me and I missed the tackle and then he got a try. At the end Wainui had won the game.

Next we had to face Awapuni. They kicked off to us, I caught it and ran. One of their players tackled me I fell back and tumbled to the ground. One of my teammates took the ball and also got tackled, we lost the ball they picked it up and got a try. We were losing, but we didn't give up. Cory picked the ball up after they kicked he ran a got a try. At the end they had won the match. I was so tired.

We went back to school and then had to do more running because we had cross country in a couple of weeks. At the end of they day it was quite fun.

Chess Tournament

 On Tuesday we had a chess tournament. It was my first tournament in my life. I was very nervous. We had to wait for the games to be drawn out. I had faced a kid from my school. The organiser said to start our timer. I got to start first. If you won you got 1 point if you lost you got none, and if you tied you got half a point.

I did my first move and he did his. We had a 15 minute timer on. I did four moves and then I one won. I felt so relieved that I had won. I had one point. I went over to my friends game he was facing a kid from another school. I think they were tieing I wasn't to sure. The next game I won and then I won and then I lost and lost and then I lost and then won. All my games didn't take to long.

I had 4 points in total and a kid called Nathan got 6 points which was pretty good. I got 2 badges one was for a quick knockout which was for under 10 moves and I got another one for checkmate under 30 seconds. Overall It was kinda fun.
