White Koala Born In Australia

White Koala Born In Australia.
WALT: Reflect on an article that we have read.
In Queensland Australia zoo a white Koala has been born. She is not albino. Zoo keepers say that her white hair is due to recessive gene inherited from her mother who has given birth to another pale baby Koala. In science it is referred to the silvering gene which is when and animal is born with white or pale fur. At this stage the zoo keepers are looking for a name, social media has already given some suggestions like Snowflake, Pearl, Sugar, Lily, Snow and White and Baringa which means dawn or light in the aboriginal language. Koala's are slowly decreaseing due to bush fires, disease and dog attacks. She is one of the twelve baby Koala's born at the zoo this season. I think this article is great because I have never heard of a white Koala until now. What I found challenging was trying to summarise this into my own words, what I didn't find challenging was getting an image suitable for this article. If I had to chose a name for the Koala it would be Snowflake I don't know why I would chose it but I just think it suits the baby Koala.

Technology Reflection T3W5

Technology Reflection
WALT:Reflect on what we have done at Technology.

This week at Tech was our last day with Mr Grundy in hard materials. I just finished my project which is a race car. This week all I had to do was curve the edges and add the wheels onto the car. I was working with my friends Curtys, Siale and Deme. Curtys was making a pull toy which was shaped as a horse. Siale was making a helicopter and Deme was making an old time car. Mr Grundy helped my curve the edges and add the wheels on to the car. It was a good time with Mr Grundy but everything does come to an end. I cant wait for our new class which is graphics with Miss Ferguson. The most challenging thing at hard materials was finding out the right measurements for the car. The car doesn't look like the car in the photo. What I didn't find challenging was drawing down ten possible ideas. This is also our last year at technology as well.

WALT: Reflect on an article that we have read.

Pero Cameron, the Tall Blacks and Kiwi hoops legend has become the first New Zealander to be inducted into international governing body Fiba’s Hall of Fame. The achievement was announced by Fiba who confirmed he would be inducted at a ceremony in Geneva in late September. Cameron is a nine-time New Zealand NBL winner as a player, two-time champion coach, two-time Olympian, and attended three world championships with the Tall Blacks. He was also a 2006 Commonwealth Games silver medallist and appeared in hundreds upon hundreds of games in the black singlet over an illustrious 17-year international career. He is arguably New Zealand’s finest ever player.

Black's Ferns Make It Into The FInals

Black's Ferns Make It Into The FInals

WALT: Reflect on an article that we have read.

The Black Ferns have beaten USA 45-12 to progress to the World Cup final. The Black Fern were too strong over the course of the match and deserved their victory. However, coach Glenn Moore  said while it was satisfying to reach the final they made too many errors around the breakdown and coughed up possession too often on their way to their 45-12 win. Winger Portia Woodman scored four tries in the match and is the tournament’s leading try scorer on 13. Woodman said there was a noticeable increase in intensity being a semi final and the Americans physicality never let up. Woodman will now be playing in her first world cup final on Sunday morning. The final will be played on  Saturday at the Kingspan Stadium in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Kiwi Sport

Kiwi Sport

WALT: Reflect on what we done at Kiwi Sport.

At Kiwi Sport this week we learnt what choreography and freestyle means. Our instructor's name is Jasmine she comes from England. Choreography is practising a dance until you get it right but free style is when you do your dance on the spot without practice. In my group was Me and my two friends which are Falakiko and Sene. The challenging thing was trying not to muck up when we performed it in front of the class but it was a fun thing to do and something else that my group found challenging was trying to figure out what dance moves we where going to use. We done three dance moves I think bunt I don't remember the name except for one which was the Whip. We where suppose to learn two more dance moves we didn't have time to learn so we had to do choreography. That is all we done at Kiwi Sport this week. Next week I hope we learn the two dance moves we where suppose to learn this week. What I found challenging about this task was trying to remember what we learnt because I was suppose to blog this on Monday but I wasn't focused.

Kiwi Can Reflection

Kiwi Can
WALT: Reflect on what we have been doing at Kiwi Can.

This week at Kiwi Can we only had one teacher which was Miss Lily, Mr Malu was at school but he had to leave early. The first thing we done was talk about what we have been doing for the ast week's. We have been learning about self control and emotions. After we talked about what we have been learning we moved on to our energiser which was Tag The Master. In the game you must have two players one for each side one player has to have to ripper tags on the side of the hips and the other has to try and rip one off in ten seconds. Then we talked about how we showed self control in the energizer. After we went into our activity which was mat dodgeball. The person in charge has to give every one a number from one - four and if she calls out your number than you have to run into the middle and the rest of the people around you will have to try an d dodge the balls.

I think Kiwi Can is a great way for kids to get to know each other and learn the difference between good and bad and how they can change the bad things into good things. What I found challenging was trying to remember the rules for the energizer and activity but I got help from one of my friends. What I didn't find challenging was finding an image suitable for this.

Fitness And Cross Country

Last term we started doing a programe called fitness we would always do it after morning tea. But this term we are doing fitness and cross country training. To me fitness is a good program for us because it helps us stay in good shape for sports or for other things. In fitness we do step ups, push ups. shuttle runs, relays, lunges,squats and star jumps but sometimes our teachers change it into other moves like planks and other things like it. Every week I feel like I'm getting better and faster at what we do during fitness but I enjoy cross country training more than the actual fitness because it is easy but the most challenging bit is trying not to get a stitch during running because it slows me down. I feel like I'm getting fitter during every session.

Cyber Smart T3W3

This is what we had to make for cybersmart this week. We had to go check our history and see what we have been doing for the past two days. I am not going to do the whole thing because it will be to long so I decided to do just a little bit. I started off at google drawing and ended at google presentation. This task was called cyber footprint. What I found challenging was trying to sort out the foot steps and the images of what I've been on. What I didn't find challenging was finding an image of a country. The country I used was America.

My Dream's

This presentation is about my dream's when I was a young boy. My recent
 dream is to become a Rugby union or Rugby player. I created this presentation
 because we were talking about careers so our teacher told us to make a
 presentation about our dreams. What I found challenging was trying to find out my dreams from when I was a little boy. What I didn't find challenging was finding finding an image to match my dream.

KIWISPORT T3W3

WALT: Reflect on the things I have learnt at Kiwi Sport.

Today at Kiwi Sport we learnt two more dance moves. Last week we learnt the Smurf and James Brown but this week we learn the Alf and Janet Jackson. All of these dance moves is part of Hip Hop. In Hip Hop there are four elements. The four elements are Art/Graffiti, Mc/Rap, Dj/Music and Break Dancing/Dance. Hip Hop first started in 1973. It started because the African American and Latinos felt like they weren't treated right say they decided to come up with a way to express themselves and they created Hip Hop. We also learnt what social dancing is. Social dancing is when you interact with others when they are dancing. Our instructors name is Jasmine. I think my favourite dance move that I have learnt from Kiwi Sport is James Brown because it is nice and easy to do for beginners. Next week I hope we get to learn more than two dance moves. What I found challenging was the Janet Jackson its just the bit when you have to move your legs but already know how to do the arms. I think that Hip Hop is a great way for kids to get together and interact with each other and express how they feel.

Cyber Smarts T3W2

WALT: do appropriate things online.

This is advice that I'm giving to you so you don't go on the web and end up doing the wrong thing. What I found challenging was trying to find what advice I should share to yous. But the most important advice I would give is think before you send or post it. These slides show what kind of websites are out there and what you should and shouldn't do. What I found challenging was trying to find some advice to share with yous. What I didn't find challenging was looking up the different social media sites. Next week I hope to do more of what we have done.
