Netball Zone Tournment

2011-08-11T00:19:00.001-07:00

Last Tuesday 9th August our top Year 5 and 6 netball players participated at the annual Central Zone Netball Tournament held at the Taita Courts. Muritai entered 4 teams, each competing in their respective grades. There were mixed results with some great wins and the odd loss. Everyone involved gave it their all, representing Muritai with pride and a commitment to each and every challenge. What was obvious was the continual improvement of all the teams as the tournament progressed. Special congratulations goes to the Muritai Year 6 A team who finished second in their grade, the top division of the tournament. They will now go on to represent the Central Zone at an Inter-Zone competition held on Tuesday the 15th September. Also on behalf of all the players a big thank you to the parent helpers and coaches. Without these offers of transport and assistance with supervising teams such opportunities wouldn’t be possible.

ZONE CROSS COUNTRY RESULTS

2011-06-14T16:00:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we took 60 of our finest Year 4-6 cross country runners to compete at the Central Zone Cross Country. The event was held along the riverbank near Connolly Street, Lower Hutt and was organised by Boulcott School. The track was very heavy underfoot and in some places was so muddy that it sucked the shoes off many of the runner's feet!

As always the Muritai team were amazing despite all being a little nervous before their races. They were very boisterous cheering in support while their peers were racing and greeted them on their return with high fives. Everyone in the team did their absolute best with many achieving personal goals.

Although we won 4 out of the 6 races we placed 3rd overall. This is an outstanding achievement and one the kids should feel very proud of. Special congratulations needs to go to the 11 runners who placed in the top ten and have now been selected to represent the Central Lower Hutt Team at the Inter-zone Cross Country on the 28th June. Those students and their placings are:

Y4 GIRLS: 1st = Macey Caughley, 7th = Ella Giles, 9th = Phoebe Evans.
Y4 BOYS: 4th = Andrew Sutcliffe, 7th Max Hahn.

Y5 GIRLS: 2nd = Charlotte Wilson, 9th = Grace Allan
Y5 BOYS: 1st = Jack Healy, 2nd = Liam Lamb

Y6 GIRLS: 1st = Maya Hahn
Y6 BOYS: 1st = Matthew Sutcliffe

On Tuesday the 24th of May our footballers joined in to take part in the Year 5 and 6 Central Zone Football Tournament run by SportZone. The tournament was held at a very blustery Sladden Park in Petone.
Muritai had 4 teams participating (2 girls teams and 2 boys teams). A lot of great games were had and many superb goals were scored. Our players were fantastic and experienced many wins, draws and a few loses too.
The overall winning school was Waterloo, with Eastern Hutt took the fair play award - well done to those schools.
A special thanks to the parents who transported the children to and from the park, and to the supporters and team managers on the sideline.

Touch Rugby Sum-Up for Term 1 2011.

2011-04-05T20:20:00.001-07:00

What a super Term it's been for touch rugby! All 5 teams played so well all season. I don't think we have had such great results in a long time.
Check out the results from the Finals Week.

Muritai Sharks won the Grand Final 4-3, so they finished in first place! Well done!!

Muritai Eagles lost the Grand Final (in extra time) 3-4 so they finished in second place. This team were stars, especially playing the Sharks (a year 6 team in the finals). Well done Eagles!!

Muritai Storm won the Grand Final 2-1, so they finished in first place! Super stuff Storm, you guys had a great season!

Muritai Flyers lost the Grand Final 3-5, so they finished in second place. Another great season from the Flyers!

Muritai Hurricanes won the play off for 3rd and 4th place 4-0, so they finish strongly in 3rd place. Great stuff Hurricanes!

A great season for all teams. I am looking forward to seeing you all back (and more players) for the Term 4 competition.

Its just not Cricket...

2011-04-04T13:54:00.000-07:00

Muritai won the toss and elected to bowl first on a damp wicket at Te Whiti. McLeod and Gareth opened the bowling and did well to restrict runs at the early stages. Rupert came on at second change and achieved the marvellous figures of 3 for 18 from 4 overs. With a very good fielding effort, we managed to restrict a very strong Hutt Intermediate batting line-up to 109 for 6 from 20 overs. Well done to Liam for a catch and a stumping, Moss with a super catch and Piri for 1 for 12.

After refuelling, we struggled to 81 for 8 from 20 overs falling 28 runs short of the target and therefore out of the tournament. Liam top scored with 18 runs. The boys did very well to get so close to a strong Hutt Intermediate team, most of whom play for the Hutt Districts Premier Team.

Zone Swimming 2011

2011-03-28T18:36:00.000-07:00

The Zone Swimming Sports took place on a beautiful autumns day at Naenae Pool.
Muritai took 32 swimmers ranging from year 4 children through to year 6 children.
Competition was tough as Wellesley, Chilton, Eastern Hutt, Boulcott, Waterloo and St Peter and Pauls also attended.
Muritai did very well and the children represented the school brilliantly.
We are unsure just how well we did, but we will hopefully find out by the end of the week.
The Inter-Zones take place next Wednesday, so if your child makes it through, there will be quite short notice.
Once again, thanks to the parents who came and helped out and the the parents who came in support. But especially well done to the swimmers who did a marvelous job.

2011-03-03T17:58:00.000-08:00

Muritai Vs St Bernards:

Muritai lost the toss and were sent in to bat. Gareth and Mcleod opened the batting with some great running between the wickets and scored 10 and 14 runs respectively. Liam was our top run scorer on 37 not out, with 4 four’s! Muritai scored 101 runs for 2 wickets in 16 overs.

Gareth and Mcleod opened the bowling each with a maiden over, with Rupert, Dorian and Kieran claiming one wicket each in their overs. An excellent catch by Piri, followed by Mcleod’s run out restricted St Bernard’s to a total of 60 for 5.

With Liam’s great wicket-keeping and Xavier and Jared’s focussed effort in the field, today was a super contribution by the entire team – well done boys!

Thank you to Carl for his umpiring skills and Liam’s brilliant leadership and commitment as skipper of the team! Well done to all the boys on a great effort, excellent sportsmanship and for being good ambassadors for Muritai School.

Good luck for the game.

Please read the information below regarding games this week and next week.
For many teams, the game on 18th August will be their last for the 2010 season. Thank you for your participation in our competition and for giving your students the opportunity to play Flippa Ball or Water Polo in a competitive setting.

GRADE RANKINGS
Overall rankings in each Grade are determined firstly by points accumulated in general rounds and then by points gained in Championship rounds. [Only if your Grade had them.] These results and points have been shown on our website www.huttwaterpolo.org.nz throughout the competition. Some Grade’s game’s results on the 18th August, determine their final ranking. This is shown in RED on this week’s draw.

SEMI FINAL GAMES
If your team is in a Semi this week,[shown in RED on this week’s draw], then the result of this game determines whether you play in the Final or Playoff [3rd/4th] on 25th August. Because of this, a winner is required. Should the game be tied at the final ‘hooter’, then the referee will NOT blow their whistle but keep the game going until a goal is scored. The game will finish then.It is important this is explained to coaches, players and parents so it is fully understood.

FINALS NIGHT: 25th August
Only 4 teams from each Grade will play on the Finals Night on 25th August. The Final [1st/2nd] and the Playoff [3rd/4th] will be labelled in RED on the draw. The Finals draw for 25th August will be on the web www.huttwaterpolo.org.nz on Thursday or Friday following this week’s games.

Year 0-2 Junior Duathlon

9^th August 2010

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

The Muritai School Junior Duathlon which is a run and bike race (or scooter if they do not know how to ride a bike) will be held at Muritai School on Monday 16^th August. If the weather is not good there will be a postponement date for Tuesday 7^th September. The duathlon will be an enjoyable event with the focus being on positive participation and being active.

Each student will be timed on the completion of his or her race. They will be place ranked within their year and gender group.

On Race Day:

On race day, between 8.00 am and 8.40 the children will store their bikes and their helmets alongside the Green Room and PE Shed wall near their class number cone.

Children are grouped in year levels and genders. The maximum amount of children partaking in a race is 12 students.

Year 0-1 students will run approximately 300 metres. The route will be outside the school gates by the school library, past the fire station, past the bus stop then back into the school gates by the school pedestrian crossing. Year 2 students will run approximately 350 metres starting at the entrance gate near the big school playground. We will have marshals along the route with first aid kids available if necessary. Once the runners enter the gates by Room 16, a teacher will assist them to get their bike from the bike stand, put their helmet on and bike around the field, towards the deck, around the deck and through the finish line, which will be on the netball court. On completion of the race, the children will push their bike to the middle of the field where they will be stored in class groups until they are taken home at the end of the day. We will ensure their bikes & helmet do not get touched during the day.

Races will start with the Year 0’s, then Year 1’s then Year 2’s. There will be 11 races in total starting at 9.00 to 10.30. Parents and families are welcome to come and support the children in this event. Please stand in the coned area in the middle of the court away from the racetrack.

Please make sure that your child has sensible clothing, footwear and a drink bottle.

If you are able to help with the event by being a ‘marshal ‘(e.g. giving directions to runners and ensuring safety) please email me cody@muritai.school.nz with your name, child’s name and year group by this Wednesday August 11^th.

Thank you for your support

The tournament begins at 9:30am, and should be over by 2:30pm. We will need to leave school at 8:50am, and will hopefully be back by the end of school. However, to be sure, children who catch the bus on this day should organise alternative transport.

In order for your child to attend we need your permission.
Transport to Fraser Park will be by bus. We ask that your child brings $2 to help cover the cost of the bus.

Participants must be members of the eligible age group (i.e. Year 5/6 teams must have players who are in Year 5/6). There is a maximum weight limit for the tackle grades:
• Year 5/6 - 50 kg or less

All players should have the following equipment:
• Mouth guard (Compulsory)
• Rugby Jerseys, shorts and socks (supplied by school)

What an amazing day it was at the Year 5 and 6 Zone Netball Tournament. I had so many comments about the weather and how it was very unlike Taita to have such lovely days at this time of the year!
Anyway, to netball...
We had 6 teams attend the netball and they all had a fantastic time. The schools we were competing against were: Chilton, St Peter and Paul's, Eastern Hutt and Boulcott.

While Muritai did not come away with the winners cup (Eastern Hutt did), we did come away with the 'Fair Play award'. Well done to all players, it was a spectacular event.
A very special thanks to Miss Edwards who passed on her expertise to many of the players, and to the many parents who turned up to support and supervise the teams.

Yesterday the year 7/8 Hutt Valley Interzone Cross Country finally took place on a slightly soggy Trentham ground. As always this event was only possible with the help of the parents who provided that much needed transport.

Muritai had 23 runners brave the conditions and show what they can do. It was amazing seeing all the students achieving the best that they could be. Notably Georgia who came second, Kenzy and Clara who came 5th and lastly Scott and Ryan who came 8th and 9th respectively. Excellent effort guys.

Our incredible Inter-Zone runners!

2010-06-15T13:25:00.000-07:00

Wow! We have some very talented runners at Muritai and our year 4-6 Inter-Zone runners proved that on Monday the 14th of June at Richard Prouse Park.

It was a chilly morning and the event started a bit later in the day to let the grounds dry out.
Muritai had 6 runners running for Central Zone - here they are with the fantastic results:

Gus - 1st
Matthew - 1st
Grace - 11th
Jack - 5th
Maya - 2nd
Monica (who filled in for Ruby who was injured) - 30th.

Update from Hutt Water Polo and Flippa Ball

2010-06-13T17:22:00.000-07:00

2010 Hutt Water Polo and Flippa Ball Schools Leagues Update at 14 June www.huttwaterpolo.org.nz

It’s great to see so many supporters poolside cheering on their teams this year as well as heaps of players having fun and enjoying themselves. The draws for 16 and 23 June are published on our web page. All teams have a bye on Wednesday, 30 June with the comp restarting in Term 3 on 21 July. Weekly results and points grids are also published on our web page. We have listed some pointers that might help teams over the next few weeks. Can all sports coordinators please pass this information on to their coaches, managers, players and parents.

All players need to pay $2 cash at Naenae reception before entering the facility.
Please ask your players to remove all watches, wrist bands, necklaces, piercings etc. before entering the water.
Caps are provided. They are reversible so you only need one cap out of any bucket around the pool.
It is a good idea to have your team arrive twenty minutes before game time. This gives them enough time to find the caps, to unknot them and tie them on, have a team talk and get ready to jump in. You will have two minutes after the hooter [signaling the end of the game before you], to warm up. The ref will blow the whistle thirty seconds before the start of your game so that six players and the goalie can line up ready for the swim off once the hooter has gone for your game.
PLEASE ask your children to unknot their caps before returning them to the bucket at the end of the game. Parents may like to help with this.
It is good to hear three cheers at the end of the game, practice a school version at training.
PLEASE ask a parent to sit at the score table during the game.
Coaches and players must remain behind the 2 metre cone at all times during the game.
Interchanges can happen at any time from the team’s corner of the pool and only when the player being replaced has reached his/her corner of the pool behind the 2m cone.
Ball Under – a player cannot take the ball under the surface of the water.
Off-Side – An attacker will be deemed offside (inside the 2m area) if the attacker enters the attacking 2m zone without the ball. If however, the ball carrier enters the 2m zone, an attacker is then allowed to enter as long as they remain behind the line of the ball carrier.
It is helpful if the players are learning the rules of the game. Flippa Ball Rules and Skills are published on NZWP www.waterpolo.org.nz (click on the frog)
The official default process is clearly set out at the bottom of each and every draw.
All communications for this comp are to be sent to naenaecomp@huttwaterpolo.org.nz Emails should not be sent to personal email addresses.

We welcome positive poolside behavior. If any coach or manager has a query, please approach the Pool Control table. It is inappropriate for any parent to approach a referee during or immediately after a game. Again, queries are welcome at the Pool Control table.

The Hutt Water Polo Club’s Registrations Days for the 2010-11 season are being held on 20 and 21 June. We welcome new players at all age grades.

Thanks for your support

Year 5 and 6 Super Flippa Ball Team!

2010-06-09T13:09:00.000-07:00

Our super Flippa Ball team played very well again and won their first game of the evening - 9-3 (with no subs) Amazing!

And then had to play a second game!! And, only 5 players could stay on, so they played with 5!

They lost 8-5 against a full team with subs, but they played amazingly well, with Rupert, Gareth and Tane swimming the length of the pool to play both opposition and defence and each of them scoring amazing goals! Carlotta stuck like glue to her opponents and Rose had a first game in goal and did well to fend off the many shots that were thrown her way.

Well done team! You are stars.
And a very special thanks to the parent support!!

Super news!! Tane was awarded the Player of the Game award by the Hutt Water Polo Club and has been invited to 2 training sessions with the Junior Development Squad! Well done Tane!

Dear Parents/Caregivers

The Zone Cross Country for Year 4-6 students will be held on Wednesday the 26th of May at Connolly Street (Riverbank) Lower Hutt. The postponement date is Friday the 28th of May. Our teams have been chosen based on the results of year 4-8 crosscountry that was held on Thursday the 20th of may. Those who come in the top 10 at the Zone Cross Country will be selected for the Central Zone team to compete at the Inter-Zone Cross Country, which is planned for Tuesday the 8th of June.

We need to assemble at 9:30am for a 10:00am start. The last race is expected to finish by 12 noon, so we will need to leave school at 8:50am, and will be back at about lunchtime. Below is the approximate time of the races and the distances the children will run.

Year 4 Girls: 1100 m approx. 10:00am. Year 4 Boys: 1100 m approx. 10:15 am
Year 5 Girls: 1500 m approx. 10:30am. Year 5 Boys: 1500 m approx. 10:45am
Year 6 Girls: 1500 m approx. 11:00am. Year 6 Boys: 1500 m approx. 11:15am

Transport will be by bus, however if you would like to come and watch your child run, you will need to make your own way to the park. The organisers would like parents to assist with the running of the event. They have asked for us to provide 3 recorders. If you would like to assist, please indicate this on the form below when you return it to me.

Participants will need to bring:
• School shirts and sports shorts (provided).
• Running footwear (no spiked shoes)
• Water bottles and snacks
• Warm clothes and coats for before and after races – the area is exposed and can be cold in the wind

Children will have morning tea after their race. Please make sure that your child has a large drink because there are no water fountains available.

Please contact me if you have any questions. Email (hull@muritai.school.nz) is generally the fastest and most convenient method.

Thank you for your support

The Year 5 and 6 Zone Soccer Tournament held at Sladden Park on Tuesday the 11th of May was awesome! The weather was spot on and the pitch was nice and green!

Muritai had 5 very enthusiastic teams, here's how they did...

* Muritai Storm - 11th place in the boys 'A' grade. The storm were not meant to be in this grade but were placed there to make up team numbers. These players did so well.
* Muritai Lizards - 4th place in the boys 'A' grade. What a star team these players were! So eager and very skillful!
* Muritai Bears - 4th in the boys 'B' grade. These guys went right through their games undefeated! They had so many draws! Well done!
* Muritai Eagles - 1st place in the boys 'B' grade! These guys were awesome! They just played so passionately! It paid off too! They also went through undefeated.
* Muritai Candy Canes - 6th place in the girls 'A' grade. These girls were having so much fun and a lot of skill was involved! Amazing players!!

A very special thanks to the players and to the parent support. Again, without the parents we just could not do these activities, thank you so much for your time and effort!

PLAYERS NOT TO SHARE DRINK BOTTLES
It has been brought to our attention that players are currently sharing drink bottles around the courts. Netball Hutt Valley along with the Ministry of Health ask clubs to encourage players to always bring their own drink bottles to training and games. There is a high risk of spreading disease through sharing drink bottles (particularly meningitis).
