Winter Tournament Preparation - By Kiera

Winter Tornamant

Last week we had our first Winter Tournament practise.
There are 4 sports, Rippa Rugby, Football, Netball and Hockey. I'm doing hockey.
My Winter Tournament teacher is Miss Cudby.

On Tuesday we went to our class's to get sorted into our teams.
I'm in the Competitive team, and were called the Kapanui All Stars. The people in my team are: Me, Hannah, Holly, Zane, James, Karyn, and Max. I play left back.

The first actual practise was on Friday. It was freezing!!
We don't need our own hockey stick, we just need mouth guard and shin pads.
Today we've got another practise today.
We've got the actual tournament on Wednesday.

There was information about how people keep track of the scale of earthquakes.We learnt that there was a huge earthquake in Napier, and another huge earthquake in Christchurch. We also looked at the information about volcanoes eruptions. We learnt that there was a volcano eruption in Taupo. Then after lunch we went to bush city.  We looked at lots of huge, rocks and learnt how old they were. We also went to a cave where we saw these stalactites, and stalagmites.Then we went to a sandpit where we could dig up a dinosaur skeleton.
