Summer Learning Journey 2016

Kiwisport (Shot Put)

IALT: position the placing of a shot put.


Today at 9:40 we had to go to Kiwi sport. When we got walked down to the field we Coach Allen and Coach Kelly was waiting for us. While we all were listening to Coach Allen he said we are going to play Dodge ball for our warm up game.

After playing dodge ball we had to put ourselves into 1 group of 3 people. It was Me,Nesi and Sana, when we were in our groups we got given a soccer ball and we had to throw it like a shot put to each other.

To throw a a shot put we had to put it in our finger tips and put it in between our neck and chin. Then we had to bring the soccer balls in and then everyone was kicking the Soccer balls high in the air and then they caught it and put it in the bag. Then the instructor (Coach Allen) showed us how to position the shot put. Then we had to throw the shot put as far as we can.

I partnered up with Sana because we only had 1 shot put in a pair. When I had a go it went far enough as I thought it will go. But when I saw Sana throw it,it was good, Her positioning was on point. Then we had to put the light shot puts back into the bag and head off to class.






What I found challenging was throwing the shot put  ball because it was quite heavy to throw the shot put. What I learned was that the shot put was green and it was light. And I knew that there was wet sand in it because the shot out was very light for a real 1. What I enjoyed was learning how to position myself while throwing a shot put because I never knew how to throw 1 until today. My next steps are is to try and practice with a tennis ball in my own time so I can be good at when I older and be like Valerie Adams.

House Meetings

IALT:Learn new chants made by seniors in our house meetings.

Yesterday after our trip from Te tuhi we had to pack up our class and get ready to go to our house meetings. If yous dont know what house meetings are it is your group you got put in for athletics when you start school.

 There are 4 teams and they are named after roads and places near the war area and they are Alamein (Yellow Team),Tripoli(Blue Team),Benghazi(Green Team) and My team Tobruk(Red Team). When we were at our house team we had 3 new chants we had to learn by Friday because friday is our athletics day.

Im not gonna share our chants on my blog yet because I'm gonna do an after experience blog and show yous the chants. When we were practicing our chants we had to say all the way from the beginning until it was time for us to go home.

What I found challenging was learning the new chants because they are new and I am not a fast learner. WHat I enjoyed was having a good time with the seniors that was in my group. What my next steps are is to try and get access on the netbook at home and learn it at home.

Te Tuhi Reflection

IALT: Reflect on what I learned at the Te tuhi art gallery session

Yesterday we went to the Te Tuhi art gallery to have our last session about Collages,Posters and Storytelling. In the Middle block we waited for Room 10 to comeback from the Te Tuhi trip because  we go when they come back. When they came back it was our turn to go to the Te Tuhi art gallery. When we arrived we went into the waiting spot where we wait for Salome(our instructor). When Salome came we went to the Te Tuhi auditorium and because we had to do a play and everyone had to be in a group of 4 but some were in a group of 4,5 and 6. But for our play we had only 4 people,3 girls(Losana,Akanesi and Me) and 1 boy Falakiko. But for our play we did Sunday school and the Title was The life of a Tongan Christian. Here is the video of our play.

After because in the auditorium we went into the workshop/art room and had to make a poster about our role play. Here is that posters that class mates created to our roleplay...

We were in there for about 1/2 hours making posters. AFter we had to clean up and come back to school so we can go to our house meetings.

What I found challenging was making the poster because I didnt know what to do to for the poster so I just copied Nesi. What I enjoyed was working and making the play with Sana,Kiko and Nesi. What my next steps are is to try and make the poster stand out more. What I learned from the Te Tuhi experience was that posters are in the public.

+Maths+

IALT:Work on my basic facts so it can help me when I go to college.

Today after our fitness session outside we came back into class and had to to our Maths. When I came back from the staff room I came and got the Subtraction Basic Facts worksheet from the Islander Maths group basket. I didn't do all of it because it was time for us to blog and I was mostly talking and playing the Subtraction Flash cards with Losana and Leilani. My next steps would be to not talk that much because I dont finish my task and it interferes with my learning.

What I found challenging was thinking about the question and answering it as fast as I can. It was challenging for me because I dont really work on my Subtraction only my Multiplication and Addition facts. What I could work on next is to try work on my Subtraction basic facts. What I enjoyed was playing the flash cards with Losana and Leilani. The flash cards we used to play with were Multiplication and Subtraction ones.

Writing

WALT: understand the purpose for explanation writing

So last week we had a session on Explanation writing. If yous dont know what explanation writing is it is when you have to explain what you're writing about. The task we had to do was that we had to write about something in the community and then do a S.E.E structure about it and have 3 paragraphs.

What u need in a Explanation writing is...

1. Title
2. Introduction
3. Paragraph 1,2 and 3
4. Conclusion

In the Explanation Writing Document I was writing about The House of Jesus. What I wrote about is The miracles he gave people, How he feed over 500 people,how he turned water into wine, how people pray to him and when he answers our prayers. After writing all of those paras  I had to find examples to back my statement. Then I was told to blog.

I haven't finished my writing but when im finished I will surely blog about it. What I found challenging was writing the examples because I think some of them didn't make sense so I changed it. What I enjoyed was nearly finishing. What I need to work on is coming up with some more ideas so if I finish this doc I could make another 1.
