This week i became a year 7 and I went into a new studio and have got new teachers. I have found it challenging to get use to this class/studio but I like it a lot because we have a activity called mahi a tahi which is where you get to do fun stuff and if you do 3 challenges you get free time. I’ve also really enjoyed catching up and seeing my friends and I’ve kind of made some new ones too.

Next week I hope to do mahi a tahi a lot better because I don’t have 1 point yet. I feel proud of myself because I got used to this class in only 2 days.

For Physical Education this term, I have been learning how to play football with Lottie, Lisa and Amy.

We played games to learn football skills. My favourite game was fishy because I liked trying to dodging the ball and I liked trying to get people with the footballs .

I have learnt to Dribble the ball and kick  it further.

I focused on improving kicking the ball further and having more Control of the ball .

The most challenging part of learning football was trying to dribble the ball in one of the games.

I enjoyed Playing a big game of boys vs girls soccer .

Are you interested in playing football for a club, Winter Sport (next year) or in your breaks.  I am not interested in playing football because i don’t find it fun and Entertaining and i feel like most time in football there’s nothing to do .

I have shown the RISE value of Empathy by giving some people the ball when we were playing a game  .

For the past few weeks I have learned how to play rugby league . For the first week we learnt about the history of rugby league and got to play touch I liked that we did some training for rugby league the only thing i didn’t like was that we didn’t get to play rugby league. Something i learnt was how to tackle  better . Something I would like to do next time is to actually play rugby league .

These last few weeks we have been making graphs. This is data about earthquakes.

first we remove the lid from the canister and place the rocket upside down in the empty container

next we pour water into the rocket canister up to the black mark

finally we put the lid back on firmly

most challenging thing was for me was to put the lid on properly

what happened was i didn’t put the lid on properly

why would it slow down when flying? Maybe you might have not added enough of the pill

personally i think the best food ever made is chocolate because their is a lot of type like  dark chocolate and white chocolate but i think the best type of chocolate is milk chocolate because it taste the best for me. i think chocolate tastes like a heaven in your mouth  and i think it feels very smooth.  another Reason  that chocolate is the best food is because there’s also yummy foods made out of chocolate

On Wednesday the 21st of august we went to a cricket festival. at 9,20am we left school and started walking to the cricket festival. after walking we got to the Rawhiti domain field that was where the cricket festival took place. when we got there there was a tent that we sat in front of we got into our groups my group leader was Urmi. once we got into are groups we went to the first activity my groups first activity was free time i played with  a giant Frisbee with someone in my group after i did that activity I moved on to a game when we started I was a Fielder and every so often we would switch around so everybody got a turn to be a bowler for our first game we won and after that game we had  lunch and then I played  another game of cricket we lost that game after that we had a wee break and we had another game this game we also lost but it’s okay after that we went in front of the tent where some people got prizes for sportsmanship it was pretty fun after all that we went back to school where we walked Despicable Me 3 until it was three o’clock.

Last week for art i made Protest art. Protest art is where you protest something using art like I chose There is no planet B that protects the one we’ve got the meaning for It doesn’t make the planet bad because there are no more planets like earth. First to make the Protest art we had to choose what quote to use once you do that than we drawed the letters and the quote after that we colored in the letters we could do a background but I decided not to after that we had to draw around the letters with permanent marker Finally we added velcro to the back to make it ready to stick on the wall.  I found colouring all  the letters hard and challenging. Have you ever made Protest art?
