Kiwi Sport | Ki o Rahi

This week Thursday we had our third session of Ki o Rahi. This week we played on the public field. When we first got the the field we did a recap on what the names of the Maori things that we used last week. We also noticed that the Poe wasn't there. We were put into the Taniwha and Kioma groups. One group was put in Te Roto and the other group was outside of Te Roto. If we were put into Te Roto then we had to tag the people that we outside of Te Roto. We could only tag the people outside of Te Roto if they had gone into Te Roto and tried to go and save there wife (Te ra). The group in Te Roto had to make sure that they weren't keeping big gaps for the other group to come in. It was fun to try and stop the group from getting in, but also if they got in and was holding their wife, then they had to try and get out without getting tagged. We then swapped and did the same thing over again. It was a tiring day today, but we still tried to play.

This weeks Kiwi Sport wasn't as respectful, most of us were bored and tired because of the heat, most of us were disrespectful because our teacher was not with us for the first part, and we showed bad attitude becasue most of us thought that the game was boring. With that said, if we carried on with the bad behaviour, we might not have kiwi sport for the term.  We need to show sportsmen ship to our coach, teachers and to the game. We shouldn't say that we don't want to participate because we can learn something from this. Ki O Rahi is based on a Maori Story, We can all learn about how the wife (Te Rah) Was taken, and how she was saved.

Tech @ Tamaki College

This week at Tamaki College we continued to figure out designs that we could make out of wood. After 2 weeks of thinking I thought of my 8 designs that I was going to do. I thought of 3 ideas at home so that I could use at tech. For the designs that I made, I had to make sure that I showed the joint. It was hard to draw the joints in our ideas, but I got there. Once I showed Mr Grundy my 8 designs he approved of them all, I then got to move onto using a piece of wood to measure out a designs that I chose. Before I started drawing with the piece of wood, we had to write our name on both sides of the wood so that when we cut the would our name will still be on the wood. I then got out the ruler and stated drawing, But at the time I was about to do my second drawing part, it was time to pack up to get back on the bus. I had a great time at Tech this week, I am so excited to see what happens next week.

Research the role of the PHN in our school, and tell others how they help us

This week I have decided to do another Care Award activity. This activity was for a silver attitude. This activity was where I had to make a presentation about PHN's and tell other people how they can help us. Our school also has a PHN as our students do get sick. Our PHN's are Dr. Lavania and Dr. Sue. This activity was fun to do, as I got to tell people how PHN's can help us. The people I told were Victoria and Ellenora.

LS2 READING CHALLENGE | Book 3

This week I have decided to read another book for the LS2 READING CHALLENGE. This book is called Strawberry thief. This book is about a girl who likes Strawberries. She goes around stealing strawberries from peoples homes. There is a group of people who decided to find out who the thief was. To find out more, you can issue this book under Rip, because those are the first 3 letters of the authors last name. 

Kiwi Can

This week Wednesday we had our third session of Kiwi Can. Our teachers were Ms. Paige and Mr Alabati. We had a little chat of what we talked about last week. We talked about how we could show Active listening and positive communication. Before we could talk more about our theme and topic, we got straight into our energiser. Our Energiser was called Fruit salad. We had 4 commands, The four commands were Apple, Pear, Banana and Watermelon. For Apple we had to move our hips to the left, For pear we had to move our hips to the right, For Banana we had to move our hips backwards and For Watermelon we had to move our hips forward. This game was based around our theme Active Listening. We had to listen carefully for the commands. This was a fun game to play because it was challenging. After the game we talked about who we communicate with. I say that we could communicate with our Friends, parents, Grandparents, sisters, brothers etc. After talking about that we got to talk about active listening. We talked about how we could show that we are actively listening. We can show active listening by not fiddling with ourselves when the teacher is talking. Also we can show active listening by giving eye contact to the speaker. After that we played our activity. Our activity was called Neg/Pos Roleplay. This activity was where we were given a paper and it would have something written on it. My group got a paper saying "A Rugby/ Netball coach yelling at a child for missing a pass" We had to make that into a positive response. This activity was fund to do because it tells us about the negative things and Positive things that could happen.

Research on someone who has a positive attitude despite difficulties they have faced | Care Awards

This week I did my first Attitude care award activity. This activity was where I had to choose someone who has a Positive attitude despite any difficulties they have faced. I chose Sophie Pascoe because I know that when she was young her leg got cut off. She is an amazing lady who didn't give up on her dream. I love the fact that she still went after what she wanted after what she went threw as a child. This activity has earned me my first step to getting a Silver Attitude badge.
