Rugby Union

Rugby Union

Where did Rugby Union originate?

Rugby was originated in England, many countries now play the sport including New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland etc

Famous Players?

Some famous New Zealand players are Dan Carter, Dan Carter was and is an exceptional kicker and play maker. He played at the fly half position which seems to be a lot of peoples favourite position including mine. Another player which a lot of people love is Richie Mcaw, Richie is a flanker and is a player you would definitely love if you like doing the dirty work.

What changes have been made?

Along the years there have been many changes like rules, clothes etc. Some changes to the clothes is they have made the tops and shorts a lot tighter so other players can’t rip their shirt. One of the biggest rule changes the game has seen is when they changed how much a try and conversion was worth, back then a try was worth 1 point and a conversion was worth 2, now a try is worth 5 points and a conversion is still 2

Cupcakes- Home Economics

Cupcakes:
About four weeks ago I believe, my home economics class made some really delicious cupcakes with icing on top. Although my groups icing was blue it had a rasberry flavor to it, we also added some m&ms, sprinkles and chocolate sprinkles. It wasn't that hard to make because we didn't have to remember every step instead we did it step by step. Over all they tasted amazing and my family also enjoyed them too.

Government In New Zealand

Government In New Zealand

Today in power to the people hurumanu we learnt about the two differents types of government in New Zealand which were the Maori authority system and the British government system

In New Zealand there were two different government systems. There was a Maori authority syestem and a British government system.

The Maori authority system which was more of a free type of living with no courts, prisons etc. It was also all about Tapu and being responsible for your own land, family and more.

In contrast, the British governments system was Strict with it's laws which were organised to control and to not break the rules of society. Everyone was also innocent until proven guilty when they entered the court room.

This is important to mention because both systems were basically opposite of each other based on their laws but managed to form a treaty and come to a conclusion.
