Kiwi Sport T4W6: Shot Put!

WALT: Put the shot put instead of throwing      

Today for Kiwi Sport we practiced shot put. However for our warmup we played dodgeball and at the beginning it was  a slow game but before I knew it we won. Going into shot put we put ourselves in groups of threes and I was with Matthew and Sene, all we done was practice shot put and played around after that and in my opinion that was the fun part of this whole lesson. 

The challenging part of this lesson to me was getting the throwing the shot put as far as the other boys because when they threw their shot puts I was speechless. This lesson of shot put was alright in my opinion. Thank you for reading my reflection about room 9's shot out lesson. Feel free to leave a comment.

My Writing Test

IALT: use academic language in my writing.

Before the writing test we went over the basics of an explanation text. Scrolling down to start of the test I was getting more and more nervous and once I got there I stopped. I thought about how I wanted to start for a good 5 minutes, the subject was about friends and how to be a good friend. Here is a sneak peak... A true friend is someone who can hear when you're quiet. 

The most challenging part of this test for me was the fact that I couldn't think of a way to start because I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to finish but in the end I was able to get there. I feel that I gave the test my all and I thank Ms Komor for the things she has taught me. She is truly one of the greatest teachers ever. Thank you all for reading this blogpost of mine about my writing test. Much Love to you all. Metui.

Kapa Haka Reflection: T2W3

WALT: learn and memorise the words
Today for Kapa Haka our tutors taught us a new haka called Waikato. At first I thought this haka was too easy for us but then when he rubbed out all the words it got challenging. The haka goes like this...

Leader: Tau ka tau

Group: Hi!!

Leader: Tau ka tau 

Group: Hi!!

Leader Tau ka tau

Altogether: Ki runga Waikato, whangaia mau ra

Nge ,nge, nge

Ara tu, ara te, ara tau

Leader: Taha ka riri, toru ka wha

Altogether: Homoi o kupu, kia weteweta

Kia wetewetea

Ara tu, ara te, ara tau

Hi!!

After learning Waikato the haka we slip up into two groups and the groups we were chosen to be in we are there for the whole term. My group is call Taniwha and the other group is Wairua. Then we were asked question about the songs we have learnt and Taniwha won. We said the karakia, packed up and then left.

Kiwi Sport: Capture The Flag!!

WALT: work with your team
Today for Kiwi Sport we had our second lesson of Run, Jump, Throw. We just played mini games this lesson and my favourite lesson was capture the cones and take them to your side. Here is a video of us playing Capture the Flag. After that we played a game called race the ball and that was the challenging game because it was you against your team. Me and my friend cheated so we had to run together vs our team and Deme won but I came tie with them. After that we reflected on that session and we left back to class.

Writing Reflection

WALT: craft a explanation text on my own.

My writing task for this week is to craft a explanation text independently and in my opinion I am doing great. With the help of my friends I think that I have made a great introduction and first paragraph, here is a sneak peek. (I also learn a lot of things like why I was sent here.

Church has also helped me improve my spiritual life and it has also strengthened my beliefs.)

The most challenging part of making this paragraph was putting it into a sentence.

I knew what I was talking about but I just didn't know how to put into words but with the help of my friend Aumau I got there in the end. I am proud of what I got so far and I know if I stay focused I can make it even better.

My next step is to work on making the rest of my text to pull my audience in so they can really understand why I am explaining this.

Thank you for reading my reflection. Leave a comment about how church improved your life. Much love to you all.

Labour Holiday!!

Getting ready for the reunion BBQ I got up and put on any clothes I could find and then me and my family left, when we arrived we saw our cousins weren't there so me and my sibling drove around Mangere picking them up and stopping at the shop get some stuff at the same time. 

After a long wait we finally got to eat and everyone was so happy. My favourite moment of that day was meeting family members I didn't even know and my least favourite was having to wait 2 hours before we could eat. 

We had alot of pizza, chicken, chips and more. Seeing my parents having fun was probably the funniest thing there because the smiles on their faces were priceless.  After a long day we arrived home and I just fell in bed. 

Thank you for reading my reflection about my Labour Day holiday. Leave a comment on what you did. Much love.

Pinwheel Pizza Rolls!!

IALT: make pinwheel pizza rolls. 
Today was our first lesson of technology with Ms Tuipulotu and I was excited to hear we were making something related to Pizza.
We were given pur instruction and ingredients and we began. We finished making the pizza roll in about 30 minutes and then we set them on a baking tin then put them into the ovens AT 180 degrees for 15 minutes. Me and my buddy garys were a little bit burnt but were the crunchiest and the most delicious. I hope you enjoyed reading this reflection as much as I did making it. Leave a comment if you're hungry. Much love to Everyone out there.
