Ki-O-Rahi Description

We had to see if we could think of interesting ways to make a simple sentence complex. Here are my sentences.

The player hit te tupu.

The player hit the te tupu with a powerful thrust which shot right past the defender.

The ball whizzed by the defender and ricocheted off the te tupu.

The player made a powerful lob that hit the top of The te tupu.

We then wrote a descriptive paragraph.

The player ran around the circle and tagged 3 of the thin poles. He then hit the te tupu with a powerful thrust which shot right past the defender.  It ricocheted off into his hands again. He made a pass to someone close to one of the skinny poles, and he tagged it. He made a big lob back to the person in the center, who hit te tupu. “Its the winning point!” the whole crowd yelled.
