Evaluating our writing test recounts

This week for writing we had to Evaluate our writing. The writing that we Evaluated on was Our Recounts that we wrote in the writing test this week.  Evaluate means form an idea of the amount.number, or values of assess.We had to give our computers to someone in Mr Wongs writing groups and let them give you a score. They were to give you a score from the writing rubric. I gave my computer to Sakina. The computer I had was Victoria's. We had to read the whole story that was written. Once we finished reading the story we had to go to the Writing rubric and give a score to the person. Sakina gave me an R4 and I gave Victoria an R4.

Sky tower recount test

This week for writing Mr Wong's writing groups got to write a recount about the sky tower trip. We had 40 minutes to complete the recount. Before we did that we did a recap on what the structure, language, order and tense was for a recount. In our recount we had to include TREE: Title, Reveal, Events and Ending. After writing our recounts Mr Wong went over with us about having a look at the writing rubric and to pick a reasonable score. When Mr Wong called us he ask if anyone would want him to look at their recount to check if the score they gave them selves was reasonable. He did that to a couple of people including me. He would go on suggesting mode and write comments of some mistakes we made in our recount.

Zombie Game Recount

Date:9/4/18	Writing purpose:	Writing focus:
Writing: We got told the rules of the zombie game. Next We went outside to line up and get ready to go on the field, Once we went on the field Mr Wong said for everyone but the JK Rowling group to get a belt and tag. Then Mr Wong took out his phone to get a timer ready and then he said 3,2,1 go and everyone went wild and started to run from the JK Rowling group. I ran somewhere in the barriers and ran as quick as I could so that the taggers don’t tag me. Everyone was so happy to play this game I think that because people were shouting with joy. Everyone was slowing down and . Mr Wong said for every group to have a turn at being the zombies. Last We were told to take off our belts and give them to Viliami and Karlos and Giovanni. If we wanted to we could go and get a drink of water then go back to class and sit on the mat in Work space 1.I think when each team had to run after every I think everyone was tired and was thirsty.

L.I to write a recount about a game that was just played. I learnt how to write a recount that has figurative language and Time order. I had to make a recount about a game that we payed outside on the field. It was a zombie game. To play the game you need to have a group of people not wearing tag and another group of people that are wearing tags and then the group of people that are not wearing tags are trying to take of the tags of the people that have tags on and then one person will be the person who does a timer and checks everything. The Next thing you have to do is to change people over to be the taggers. The group of taggers have to take off everyone's tag to be able to stop the time. For our groups Dr Dahl won with 35 seconds my group came 3 with 41 second. Yeah so that is how you play the zombie game.

Badminton

Today was the day that Group A had to go to Kiwisport Our Group didn’t have any idea what our kiwi sport session was about because it was the first day of the session. As we walked in the hall we saw a man sorting out the rackets and shuttles. We all sat on the ground in front of the man, when he was done he said what his name was and it was Kevin. Kevin told us where he worked and what we were doing in today’s session, it was badminton. We all listened to Kevin as he told us what to do. The rules were that we cannot swing the racket,We cannot play sword fights with the Racket,We cannot keep juggling if you are close to someone because you might hit them

First thing we had to do was grab a racket and a shuttle, He told us all to stand on the white line with our badminton and our shuttle. Kevin told us to put our hand that we write with on the bottom of the Racket. So we did that then we had to hold it as if we were about to shake someone's hand, But just turn it so the the bottom is facing the floor and the top is facing the roof. We all had a go at juggling the shuttle we all tried as hard as we could, I was really getting a hang of it . That skill was called four hand.

Then Kevin told us to try and juggle it ten times or more on the first go I failed a lot of times but i tried my hardest. Next we had to juggle it with the other hand. We had to practise juggling and once again I failed but I nearly got ten but always got stuck on 8 or 6. Everyone once again tried there hardest to get up to ten or more and a few people achieved and got ten or more some even got 15 or even more. I was surprised of the

Then the next challenge was to juggle the Shuttle up and turn the racket and bounce it up and turn it again and again. We had to do it ten times or more again and I achieved I got 11 I was so happy because I thought I wasn’t gonna make it but I guess I just needed to focus more on what I’m doing instead of what other people were doing. Other people got even more then me.

Kevin told us that we had to juggle it with our thumb on the top of the Racket hold thing and the rest of the fingers on the bottom. We also had to make it so that our thumb was facing to the ground and your other fingers facing the roof. So it was harder than I thought it would be. Kevin stopped us and told us to try and get ten or more again. So I tried this time and I only got 9 I was really close to getting ten or even more but sadly i didn’t I was disappointed but it was ok.

Kevin told us that this was gonna be harder for us and it was that we have to try and juggle the shuttle in the air then put the racket on the side of us and try juggle that. I was like I will never be able to do that. Suddenly I tried and got 2 and I was so Surprised about it because I thought I wouldn’t even get one but my thoughts were wrong.

Kevin said that this one was the hardest and he said that we have to try and juggle the shuttle in the air then try and hit it while being between our legs and repeat that I was so nervous that I would get none. Out of nowhere I finished with 2 in total. That last thing was for everyone to try and juggle the Shuttle as long as we could. The winner was Jayden. We tried again and it was a tie with Lukah and Matthew and those three went head to head to see who the winner was and the Winner was Matthew. I was super happy about our first day of badminton so we left with a big smile and a few sweaty boys.
