Gama Game

Today For hurumanu I created a game called GAMA GAME. I started off with creating the aim then how you score and so on and i kinda went overboard with this. Here is the game that I came up with. After we created our game we got put into groups of four and out of the four of us we chose one of games to play and test out.Unfortunately it wasn't my game but the game we played was still fun.

Gama Game

Object

The object of the game is to score points and win/get balls into their goal.

Players/Setup

There can be up to 10-20 players on each team plus 4 distractors .To set the game up need a area to play that is the size of a football field with

Equipment

• 8-10 balls
• something to mark where the goals are/cones,bags,sticks etc

Scoring

• Get a ball  into their goal

• Get someone out

Winning

• be the last one left
• The opposition team have 5 or more balls in their goal.

How to get out-

• When one of the Teachers/game spectator/ref calls out Gama and you get hit with a ball.

• When you throw the ball and hit a member of your team even if it's one of the distractors.

• When there is more than 5 balls in your goal.

How to play- First off everyone that is playing gets lined up in one straight line and bows their head then someone thats not playing the game will chose 4 people to be the distractors without people knowing who they are (tap them on the shoulder) .Then everyone closes their eyes and the 4 distractors look up and see who the other distractors are.After that the person who isn’t playing in a random order selects the teams trying not to let people know (tap once to be in team 1 , Tap twice to be on team 2) when everyone has been put into teams you go to the ends of a rectangle field set up like a football BUT the four distractors can choose which end they go on even though their team could be on the opposite side. If someone in one of the distractors actual team hits them with a ball the distractor secretly tells them they are out. When someone says start everyone runs into the middle to get a ball and tries to put it into the opposition's goal.When someone yells out gama! Everyone has to try and throw the balls and try and hit a member of the opposing team. If you get hit with the ball you are out and must go to the side. You must do everything you can to stop the ball from getting into your goal most of all have fun!

Tanē Mahuta

Today for CIP me and three other students and Mark went around and looked at all the trees that had seeds.We then made our way to the back of the field so that we could look at the area that we are going to hopefully be planting lots of native trees to try and bring back the native birds.When we got back we wrote letters to someone called Steve Bush Asking him for 100 seedlings so that everyone doing this will have a plant to plant.Here is some photos of what we did and the letter.

Dear Mr Bush

Hi there, My name is Lucy i am currently a year 8 at Hornby High School.

Currently we have been working on a project called Tanē Mahuta. Our mission is to plant native  trees in the back of our field at school to hopefully bring back native birds that once lived here.

Today we went out and looked at all the seeds of the few trees we have here. We learnt about how they form into trees, how they spread and the different types of seeds.

We would like to ask you for one hundred seedlings so everyone involved in the Tanē Mahuta project can take part in planting the plants. We would also like to ask you for one trailor of used potting mix so that we can help grow the plants and use it to create more seeds and work towards our main goal.

Thank you for your consideration we can’t wait to hear back from you.

This is a photo of us at the area we are looking at planting the seedlings.

Sincerely

Lucy
