Every week on Thursday we have Netball sessions with Liz our instructor. She teaches new skills and techniques all the time when we go there. We train hard at Pt England School to try and learn as much as we can so we can use the skills in other sports like rugby, basketball and other sports.

Ever since the second week of school we have been playing netball and it has been exceptional. I have been learning lots of new skills like placing my feet correctly and intercepting the ball. But the one that I really like is shooting because it is simple and easy to do.

Before we start training half of our class need bibs and the others have no bibs. But before we do anything else we had to stand on the noughts and crosses. After that we split in to different teams of 4-6. Then we started our drills.

The very first skill we learnt was chest passing and it was easy. At the end of every session we always have a game and the game that we played was netball tag and it was very fun because I was getting heaps of people out.

The 6th of February is a day that the Maori will never forget because that day was the day the Maori and European signed the Treaty Waitangi.

The main people who signed the treaty were William Hobson, James Busby, Hone Heke, Henry Williams and Tamati Waka Nene . It was signed in Waitangi in the Bay of Islands in the North Island. The purpose of the treaty was to make peace and stop the conflicts between the Maori and Europeans. The Europeans wanted the Maoris to have a government to protect the missionaries and the Maori.

The Treaty was about the 3 p’s. 3 p’s are Protection Partnership and participation. The first P that I am going to talk about is Protection protection means protecting the land and the things and people that live their. (Partnership) Partnership is to have great relationship's between the Maori and the European. Participation is the last p. The Maori and the Europeans participated together to make a new home and make it a new place.

In our school Pt England we have the 3p’s and they are the same as the treaty of Waitangi. But they are set differently. Protection is to protect the little ones care for them. Partnership is to have really great bonds with friends and let them play with you if they ask. Finally Participation to participate in activity's and with buddies during work.
