DAY 3: TEAM PLAYERS
Activity 1: Rugby Superstars [4 points]
Jonah Lomu was a rugby superstar. He was the youngest ever All Black, selected at just 19 years of age. He went on to have an amazing career that included 63 caps (international games) and 37 tries. Jonah was Tongan, but spent most of his childhood in Mangere, South Auckland. He started out playing touch rugby and rugby league but changed over to rugby union and quickly made a name for himself. He was very tall, strong and fast.
Richie McCaw is another example of a famous rugby player. He was the captain of the All Blacks between 2004 and 2015. Like Jonah Lomu, he had an outstanding international career in rugby union and had many achievements. In fact he was the most capped All Black captain, most capped test rugby player and World Rugby Player of the Year in 2006, 2009, and 2010. He has been given a Halberg Award and made a member of the Order of New Zealand. As well as being an outstanding player, Richie McCaw was also a strong leader and captain.
For many people, players like Jonah Lomu and Richie McCaw are superheroes with extra special ‘superpowers.’
For this activity, let’s imagine that you could be a superhero for a day. What three superpowers would you most like to have?
On your blog, please list the three superpowers, tell us why you have chosen each one, and tell us what you are going to do with them.
Hi Lukas, this is Mrs Collins from Manaiakalani and I'll be commenting on blogs over term break. Well done on posting and participating in the SLJ this year. I really like the narrative you shared about choosing your super powers... sometimes being a hero can be fun too, I'm glad you enjoyed the task! What would your superhero name be? Keep blogging, and commenting on others, to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes and to keep up your learning over the school break!

Hi Lukas,
ReplyDeleteIts me Christpher.
Great to see your upto date! I love the DLO you made because it is colorful and sometimes the color catches peoples attentions. Also your super powers are creative and amazing.
But if you had a side kick who would you want it to be?
If you had a hideout like the batcave what would you call it?
Besides that your doing a great job! Also have a great holiday and keep commmenting on other peoples blogs to get more points because it will bring you closer to winning a prize!
Kind Regards
Christopher
Kia Ora Lucas,
ReplyDeleteWow those would be some super superpowers to have! It sounds like you would be very busy using your super powers. Which of the three superpowers would you want to have the most? I think from those 3 superpowers I would want to be able to shapeshift so I could shapeshift into lots of different animals. Although it would be awesome to be able to teleport so I don’t have to sit in traffic on the way to work! I think if you try you could develop your superpower of imagination!
Keep up the awesome work!
Blog ya later,
Dani
