My Culture
My Culture
My name is William Crosbie-Rolleston, I am 14 years old, my mum is pakeha and my dad is Maori. I don't speak maori and when I was 3 my parents split up and moved to Christchurch from Hamilton. I don't know that much about our history but one day when I go back up north I will have to talk about it. All that I know is that my tribe is Te arawa and that is about it. I now live with my mum and my step dad, my step dad is also maori but I don't
know where or what tribe he is from.
Sports:
The main sports that people of maori culture play is usually just sports that New Zealand people play like rugby, netball, basketball etc. But there is also a game called ki-o-rahi, Ki o Rahi is a ball sport (the ball is known as the “kī”) that is a combination of netball, handball and tag rugby. Games are 5 minute quarters with an immediate change at quarter time and a 2 minute break at half time. The sport is non-contact but players wear a belt holding two velcro tags around their waist.
Visual arts:
Celebrations:
Sometimes on christmas my sister and I may go up to hamilton, this is because that is where all of my dads side of the family lives. Everyone up there is maori aswell and it’s good to see Nan and koro

Reflection
Today in wanaga we had to do silent reading so I read chapter 56 of jujutsy kaisen. It started out pretty boring and near the end things started to kick up. Jujutsu kaisen is about the main character devours a finger of the king of courses and survived it so the people of jujtsu high have two options weather to kill him right now, or make him eat all the fingers then kill him because no one else has consumed one of his fingers and survived. The main character Yuji then attends jujutsu high and we see the trio of chaaracter who are Yuju, Megumi and Nobara. They then go out to excorse things called curses who can only be seen by jujutsu sorcerers otherwise if you are human you wouldnt be able to see them without have these certain cursed objects one being glasses that allows you to see them. We then the rest of the students in the upperclasses whilst seeing the main villain for the show. My favourite character is a guy named Yuta Okkotsu who we havent seen in the show and weve only seen a bit of him in the manga but he seems pretty powerful from what weve seen.

Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
