Activity 1: Rugby Superstars [4 points]
Jonah Lomu was a rugby superstar. He was the youngest ever All Black, selected at just 19 years of age. He went on to have an amazing career that included 63 caps (international games) and 37 tries. Jonah was Tongan, but spent most of his childhood in Mangere, South Auckland. He started out playing touch rugby and rugby league but changed over to rugby union and quickly made a name for himself. He was very tall, strong and fast.
Richie McCaw is another example of a famous rugby player. He was the captain of the All Blacks between 2004 and 2015. Like Jonah Lomu, he had an outstanding international career in rugby union and had many achievements. In fact he was the most capped All Black captain, most capped test rugby player and World Rugby Player of the Year in 2006, 2009, and 2010. He has been given a Halberg Award and made a member of the Order of New Zealand. As well as being an outstanding player, Richie McCaw was also a strong leader and captain.
For many people, players like Jonah Lomu and Richie McCaw are superheroes with extra special ‘superpowers.’
1. super speed because if someone like Usain Bolt wants to verse me I will embarrass them in front of everyone.
2. teleportation because if I am starving but I have no money I will teleport to a fast food place and steal food from them
3. time travel because I want to go back in time and enjoy the moments I had with the people I love like my family.
Kia ora again Chris,
ReplyDeleteI never thought of having this super power. So thanks for sharing it! I also would pick teleportation. Imagine just being able to transport over to different countries, similar to flying. If you were hungry would you rather teleport to somewhere where you could make food or a fruit tree? This way you are still filling yourself up and you’re not stealing! If you could fly anywhere, where would you fly?
