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.’

Superspeed Why? So I can reach school faster and never be late for anything also so I can have a change in the olympics.
Flight Why? So I don't have to pay for any flights to anywhere also to save buildings on fire.
Telekinesis Why? So I can move things with my mind and read other peoples mind so I can tell what there up to.
Hi Mason, 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!

ReplyDeleteWell done for making such a great start to this years' SLJ programme, "Changemakers: People who have changed the world" - thanks for telling us about the 3 superpowers you'd pick and for providing reasons for choosing these 3 powers.
I find it hilarious that you've picked the power of speed so that you can reach school faster - I'd also like the power of speed so that I can skip Auckland traffic and reach my destinations on time!
Your reason for picking flight is also pretty intriguing - if you could fly to anywhere, where would you pick?
Telekinesis would be handy to read people's minds, what would you do once you found out what they're up to?
Looking forward to your response!
