Hockey

We had a special visitor after lunch on Tuesday. Aniwaka Roberts who plays hockey for New Zealand was in Nelson and Maia's Mum brought her to Room 2. She talked to us about all the training she has to do to be a top hockey player. We asked her some questions and then we all went outside and had a hit around with the hockey sticks remembering to keep them on the ground.
