As part of our inquiry into Kiwiana culture, we have been bringing objects from home to share.Last week Isaac and Logan both brought rugby balls! Isaac has a special World Cup 2011 rugby ball and Logan has a special Canterbury Crusaders rugby ball. Both of the boys play rugby for our local club on the weekends and they are big fans of our national team, the All Blacks!
Rugby came to New Zealand with colonists from England nearly 150 years ago. Way back in 1888 the first New Zealand Native team travelled to England to play. 99 years later New Zealand won the very first Rugby World Cup tournament!
Thank you Isaac & Logan for sharing your taonga with us!
Great both of you boys choose a sport to keep you active and healthy!Go All Blacks!!
