Reading: Kōwhiringa - Up the Guts!

This week some of our Kōwhiringa learners read a story about Para (the narrator) and her older brother, Shane, as they practise their rugby league skills in their backyard, then play a game of league with the rest of their team.


A task was set for these learners to write a rugby story about their favourite rugby mascot. They wrote and then published their piece of writing on Explain Everything.


Have a look at their stories below.

Reading: Kōwhiringa - Score!

Last week some of our Kōwhiringa learners read about a girl called Tiana and her little league team.

The learners were challenged to create an information report on their favourite rugby player. They had the choice to present this how they saw fit.

Take a look at their awesome work below.
