Sport With Derek

Yesterday for sport we had Derek. Derek is the guy we go to for sport and ki o Rahi. Ki o Rahi is a Traditional Maori game. It's also very fun.

To play Ki o Rahi you need two teams, also known as Kioma and Taniwha. They also need to be equal teams to have a fair game. 

Kioma score by touching Pous with a ball then running through Te Roto (middle part) and placing it down in Pawero(center part) to convert pou touches into points. 

Taniwha score by hitting the Tupu(barrel) with the ball. Kīoma will have guardians(to protect the Tupu) around the Tupu to stop Taniwha from hitting the Tupu. Depending on which team has the ball, Taniwha must stop Kīoma from scoring by ripping one tag of the person with the ball. But if you rip both tags off, the ball is handed over to the other team.
