Our whanau class Hurihanga has been going really well the last 5 weeks. Our tamariki are learning to be great tuakana to our teina while learning about innovation within Te ao Maori.

Guess Who?
My ears aren’t
focused on coaches advice yet in my crazy mind I know what he was saying. When
I hear the roaring however disruptive, crowd I put on my headphones to focus. I
hear my name from the speaker and nervously walk out of my changing room, and immediately
saw my competition. I was amazed at how they looked, so athletic and strong but
coach pinched me and told me to focus. I stood on my diving board eager to get
in the water. The crowd went silent, then BANG!! I dived into what felt like
the north poles wintery water, except I don’t feel cold, I feel good. I can’t
even hear the crowd. I see that I’m coming second but that’s not good enough
for me so I blast my arms and kick my legs all the way to the end. I did it! My
heart soared like an eagle and my pride grew like a plant. I sighed a breath of
relief. Coach congratulated me and gave me a hug. I thanked him and congratulated
the other competitors. What an incredible race.
