Sketch Notes

Today we made sketch notes about athletics, Rio De Janeiro and What happens during an Olympic ceremony. For the athletics we had to make a sketch note about what we learnt during Run Jump Throw. We learnt many many things like how to land properly in long jump, the differences between long distance races and short distance races. For the Rio De Janeiro one we had to search up the different landmarks in Rio and facts about Rio. For the Olympic ceremonies, we had to say what happens before, during and after the Olympic ceremonies

Athletics

Today we had to make a DLO about our athletics. We had to match our landings and positions with an athlete. We had to compare the things that we did and didn't do right.

Platformer Game

Today at tech were were learning how to make our own scratch platformer game. We had to follow the instructions from Mrs Anderson's (Tamaki College) platformer game and try and make it ourselves. This game still needs a bit of improvement but I think it will be perfected soon.

Warriors Visit

Today, some members from the NZ Vodafone warriors came to visit our school. Ryan Hoffman and John Palavi. Georgia also came and visited our school. She was running the whole assembley. First we started off with a game of trivia. We were split into two teams, she then asked us some questions and the team who shouted there chant first could ask the question. After we played the game she started talking about  health and well being. She also started talking about hydration and why it is important to keep hydrated. After that she talked about belonging. Were you belong. We got given examples, then we had a try ourselves. After that we talked about sleep. All of the people who answered correctly got given Spot Prizes.

Run Jump Throw

Yesterday we went to Run Jump Throw. We were learning about Long jump. As the warm up we played octopus again. I had to be a tagger and get all the people in the middle acting as octopus. After that we had a practice of long jump. After doing the practices Andy put us into groups and told us o do a jump off. I was lucky enough to go to the final jump, but unfortunately came 2nd, losing by 1 step behind Zahn.

Netball Inter-School

Yesterday some of the students were selected to take part in the netball inter-school. Our first game was against Point England 1. Unfortunately we lost the 19-0. Our second game was against Glen Taylor , We got better and better but still lost 1-5. Our third game was against Glenbrae. Sadly we lost but made it into the fourth round. The fourth game was against Stone fields. We won our first game. Our fifth and final game was against Panmure Bridge 2. We fortunately won the game 2-5. Thanks to Mr Ogilvie, Miss Naicker, The umpires/Helpers and Mrs Caroline for looking after us on the day.

Ancient and Modern Olympics

Today, in Mrs Naicker group, I have finished my DLO on the Ancient and Modern Olympics. This was a fun activity, this was hard to complete by myself but thanks to Tiava who helped me. With co-operation, we did this DLO quick with quality.

Olympic Venues

We have been learning to consider both sides of a provocation so that we can make an informed opinion. Mrs Anderson asked us to make a DLO about olympic venues, she also asked us to think about two peoples points of views. To make an informed opinion we had to think about two points of views of what people think of our provocation. When we had done that we had to make our own point of view. My DLO shows a Olympic venue when it was first created then the Olympic venue now. On the left there is the provocation and my point of view. On the right the are two points of views. 

Run Jump Throw

Today for Run Jump Throw we played a game of Octopus and learnt how to do race starters. The starter we learnt today was short distance race. We also learnt the difference between long distance and short distance races, after that we had a recap of last week. Look forward, Light feet, bent arms and cheek to cheek and high knees. For the starters we had to take one big step away from the line, when she said on your mark, we went into starting position and she also told us to "squish the bug". Squish the bug is when you move your foot so it is just behind the line, set, that is when we bend down and lift the back heel off of the ground, and go, that is when you start running. When we finished that we done a reaction challenge. We had to partner up and sit down face to face. When she said go we ran around and grabbed the cone and ran back to the middle. 

Fantastic Facts

This is a DLO that I had created called the Fantastic Facts Challenge. We had to choose our own topic and find out about that topic. 

Hover Bike

This is another DLO that Tai and I created. This task was set by Mrs Anderson to see how adverts can easy hook you into buying their product.

Olympic Logo

This is the logo that Tai and I created. We had to create a logo as if New Zealand was hosting the Olympics this year. We put two silver ferns, New Zealand, the Olympic rings and the outline of New Zealand. 

Winter Learning Journey

During the holidays we were asked to complete some tasks for the Winter Learning Journey. On Friday Rachel from Auckland University came to talk about our success with the Winter Learning Journey. My favorite task was the boxing one because I can relate a lot to that topic.  Everyone who participated received a certificate, but the first, second and third place people(AJ, Daniel and Nesi) received  a gift bag and a certificate.
