PE

This week in PE in our groups had to choose a sport that we could teach the class, my team chose bench ball. After we chose our sport we had to plan out, how we were going to teach the class, the warm up we planned and the drills we planned. I think my group did pretty good, we chose two games for drills that people might not think that will help but with our sport it does.

Something challenging this week for me is last friday I did something to my ankle and I haven't been able to walk properly for nearly a week now. On Monday I didn't know what it was so I just did PE and that really made my ankle hurt. But since then I went to the doctors and they found out why. The only good thing about my ankle is I can watch my team and tel them what they need to work on.

This week in PE we were doing fitness testing, I think we do fitness testing to see where we are right now and maybe we'll get better after a few weeks. I got 1.7 m on the vertical test without jumping them I got 2.1 m jumping. On the sit and reach test I got 26 cm, and on the beep test I got 2.1. We also had to see how many sit ups we could do in 30 seconds and I got 6. We had to bring the grip test thing together over and over again in 30 seconds I got 0 in 30 seconds. I think I defiantly need to work on running for the beep test I got the lowest in both classes and I feel really bad about that. I probably need to work on my running in PE and also probably at home.

I think I worked together with others on Monday and today because my group had turns and we never fought about who's turn it was for the test. When I cheered on my team I think that made them feel better, or when they were doing the beep test I did that as well. To help some people I either talked to them quickly about it or just said you can do it.

CIP video

In CIP we had to make a video for All Black to wish them well for the world cup. When the class started I was at gym sports but when I came back the teachers told me what to do. We had to be in a group, I was just in a pair with Ashton. 

Here is our video:

This week in CIP we made a google drawing about the All Blacks, the All Blacks are a rugby team. We had to think of stuff we already know about them, what we want to know and then research about them.

CIP week 4

In CIP we had to write letters to people we appreciate it can be teachers from school, staff at school or someone out of school. I chose my friend from school that I've known for a while. I don't feel like sharing the letter I made because it's kind of personal.

I think my friend will like the letter, the person I chose has been a good friend to me for ages.

Learning conference slides

On Thursday we have learning conferences with our parents. We had to make a slideshow of some of our work we wanted to show.

This is my work I'm showing at the learning conferences:

 

Art final project

For art we had to make a Stop Motion about Manaakitanga, to do that we had to get in groups of 3-4. The people in my group were Jessica, Shalizeh and Haylee. We started planning our Stop Motion in the middle / end of term 2, now its the beginning of term 3 and this is the last week of the Hurumanu.

The first thing we did for our Stop Motion was make a doc and plan what will happen and what the video is about. Our theme was Manaakitanga, and we chose to do one about hospitality. After we finished planning we made a storyboard of what we were doing in the Stop Motion. Then we got to choose if we wanted to use clay or use the whiteboards. My group decided to use clay, so we got a bucket full of clay and we started to make our clay characters. While 2 of us were making the clay characters, the other 2 were painting the background.

When I wasn't there my group made a script for the Stop Motion , it was basically about what the characters were saying in the Stop Motion. When we were ready to film we went to a place in the classroom to film. We put a whiteboard on the floor and put the clay people on it, t took 1 or 2 days to film everything, then when we finished filming we did a voice over.

Stop Motion on my chrome book wouldn't record the audio so we did our voice over on Screencastify and I couldn't figure out how to put the voice over and my movie together. So I'm just going to show my Stop Motion my group made.

CIP

Last week in CIP we had to plan a mufti day for the 8th of August. 

At the start of the day we were told we were planning a mufti day to support kids can, kids can is people who help kids in need. To think of the theme we had to go in small groups and think of ideas. My group thought of 3 or 4 ideas. We had like 5-10 mins to think of the ideas about what the theme could be then come back to the mat. When we were all on the mat again we thought of ideas to use. There were like 4 or 5 ideas on the board and we had to vote for what one we wanted. Most people voted for the radical rainbow theme. 

After morning tea we started to make posters about the mufti day and when it was. Some people made paper poster and some people made poster on there chrome books. I made a poster on paper.
