LI: To write about a sportsperson.
For this activity we had to write about a sportsperson that has an impact on people. For this activity I chose Maria Folau (nee Tutaia). Maria is a silver fern player representing New Zealand. Many people worldwide fear Maria as she can get the ball in the hoop from all points of the semi circle. Maria was the fourth Silver Fern to get 100 test caps at the Netball World Cup in Sydney, 2015. Maria has an impact on other people because she has represented New Zealanders and New Zealand on its own.
Hi Farzana!,
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed reading about Maria Folau and how she has had an impact on others. I have also learnt new things that I didn't know about Maria, like how she can get a goal from all the different places of the semi circle. Why did you choose Maria Folau?
Good Work!
Greetings Farzana! Maria was a great example for this activity, and a very inspiring person towards younger netball players like yourself. I agree that she represents New Zealand in her games and would be very proud of her country, team, and herself. Do you look up to her? Keep up the great blogging!
ReplyDeleteMalo e lelei Farzana,
ReplyDeleteJust a gentle reminder that the Manaiakalani cluster team and I are in the middle of going through your blog posts and tallying up points at the moment. While we do that don't forget, now that you've finished the programme, you can earn many more bonus points and help encourage other students to finish the SLJ programme by leaving thoughtful comments on other students' SLJ related blog posts!
Farzana, I really enjoyed your blog post and am glad that you have chosen a sportsperson who has impacted people. I think it is really cool that sportspeople have a platform to influence people and just because they play sports, does not mean that they don’t have important things to say. I think that just the fact that they are playing sports at a high level has enough impact on people especially young people who may have a dream or goal to become a sports person too!
By adding some bright colours or a few pictures to your blog post I think it would really catch people’s attention. Look forward to hearing from you in the comments sometime :)
Malo,
Mani
Hi Farzana,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you chose someone that's not really that well known, but has still made a huge difference in terms of New Zealand sport. I mean, if she can score from outside the semi-circle, then everyone playing netball would fear her abilities. Can you score from outside the circle?
