My first loss against Ponsonby Whites!
On Saturday morning , we went to the Ponsonby home ground to play against Ponsonby Whites. We had our warm up for the game as soon we got there, we had to spit the back and the forwards. The forwards had to do some blow over. The game was starting, Ponsonby Whites had to kick off and we got the ball and started running to get a try. Then Ponsonby ripped the ball off us and they were getting near the try line.
Next minute, they got a try. We had to get some try for our team. When Xavier got the ball we told him to pass it to us but he did not. It made us lose the ball. Then it was almost halftime and Sione defended some of the Ponsonby Whites and got a try. They kicked the ball out and we had to do a lineout. I threw the ball in and the halfback kicked the ball to the other end of the field. We tried to chase it but the other team got the ball and passed it along the line to work as a group. They got a try. It was halftime and the score was 1 - 10.
After the half -time, our coach told us to work as a team because we needed to win the game. The second half began. The Ponsonby team started kicking the ball and it came to us. My team mate passed the ball to me then a Ponsonby player tackled me and the forwards blew over the Ponsonby Team. Suddenly, they ripped the ball off my team and they made a knock on. We had a scrum and we had to push the ball back to the halfback and the halfback will pass it. The game was over. The score was 1-10. Our coach was so mad that we lost against the team that we beat before. He commanded us to do ten push ups as a punishment .
It was a very sad day for our team that we lost.

Have you been to Rotorua before?
In my school holiday, I went to Rotorua with
my mum and dad to have some family time. We had to find our motel called ‘Malones’. It has a spa and it was cool because it kept us warm. The motel was near the shopping center like and it had The Warehouse, Pak‘n’save, Countdown, Briscoes and lots more. We took photos of the Maori Waka on Lake Rotorua.
We went to the flea market to buy something for my whole family but we found it hard to buy anything as things things were quite expensive. We went to the skyline and went on the gondola so we can get to the top for a luge ride, which brought us down the mountain. Then we went on a chairlift to go back up for another ride. We went on the luge ride six times with my mum and dad. I always won the race every time.
When we finished from the luge, we took the gondola back down and went straight back to our motel to get changed because it was raining and we all got wet. Dad set the spa for the three of us so we can soak ourselves in the warm water of the spa pool. I enjoyed my holiday in Rotorua.
