Year 8 Highlights

For this writing task we have to write about a highlight we have had over this year of school. We all thought about ideas and wrote them up on the bored so then we had more ideas to write about. My idea was to write about Koru Games because that was a really fun time I had.

Koru games was a great time because we got to get out of class and play a sport we love and enjoy for three days. I was playing football (soccer) because that is my favorite sport. At Koru Games we had around three games a day and each game lasting for about thirty minutes. At the end of each game we were all tired because these opposing teams weren't like the Friday sport teams these teams were from all over the Canterbury rejoin. These teams were really difficult teams to verse and were a challenge to all of us. Every team had a different playing style so that made it harder to adjust to so then we could find their weak points in their play. Our two football teams didn't have much rest time between each of the games because we would always be up trying to work on skills or just passing a ball around a small group. Their was a lot of fair play and even if we won or lost we would always have a smile on our faces because we knew we did our best.

Koru Games was a great experience and even though I cant do it again it would always be one of my favorite memories and I would never say no to it. It was so fun and it was good getting to know people I wouldn't really talk to on a daily basis.
