Kiwisport Reflection

Kiwi Sport

WALT: Reflect on what we did during Kiwisport.

Today at Kiwisport we played dodgeball for our warm up. It wasn't very fun in the beginning because when you got out you had to move into the other team but then coach Allan said that we will start doing illumination. It was fun but I got out of the game in 2 minutes so I just stood there with my two friends Sene and Matthew. We were just watching to see if anyone was cheating. We caught a few people cheating but they just carried on playing the game. 

After warm up we moved on to our activity which was shotput but before we used the shot put ball we had to practice with a size 3 Soccer ball. After a few minutes we moved onto the actual ball but some of us had to partner with someone else because there wasn't enough balls to go around. We had a couple throws and then our coach called us in because it was time for the next class to come for their session. What I enjoyed was playing with the shot put ball because I was one of the farrest throwers in my class. What I didn't enjoy was dodgeball because we used soft balls for it and it kept curving when we throw the ball.

Newt week we are going to do long jump and standing jump. Standing jump is different to long jump. In standing jump you have to stand and jump forward you are not allowed to run and then jump and the length of how far jump is from your ankles not from your toes. In long jump you have to run and try jump your farrest. What I found challenging was trying to run because my legs are tired from friday because we had our athletics. What I didn't find challenging was throwing the shotput because it wasn't really heavy.

Tapa Cloth

WALT: Reflect on what we drew for our trip to Te Tuhi.

This drawing was made by me for our trip to Te Tuhi. The first box represents my culture which is Tonga, the second box was to represent my favourite place which is church, the third box represents my family which is my parents, me and my four brothers, the last box represents my interest which is rugby union. What I enjoyed was drawing it because we haven't done any art at school for a while I don't even remember the last time we done art. The reason we did this was because we had to draw symbols that represents us and because we are going to the art gallery to learn more about the stories of the pacific. I can't wait to go see the other tapa cloths at the art gallery. What I found challenging was the flag because I added to much detail to it. What I didn't find challenging was my family because I just did stick figures.

🇹🇴Tonga Rugby League Team Lands In Auckland🇹🇴

Mate Ma'a Tonga

On Monday night on the 30th of October 2017 the Tongan Rugby league team landed i Auckland city New Zealand. People said that the airport of Auckland was like a red and white sea filled with Tongans coming to welcome the team to New Zealand. Tuimoala says that he feels more pride playing for Tonga then playing for Kiwis and he also said seeing all the fans come to the airport and show their support for the team means a lot to him. The Tonga team launched the tournament campaign on Sunday night, beating Scotland 50 - 4. Tonga's next game will be against Samoa in Hamilton on Sunday. The Tongan team also includes former Kiwi stars Manu Vatuvei, David Fusitua, Sika Manu and Jason Taumalolo. Jason Taumalolo switched allegiances two days before the teams were announced. Jason Taumalolo said this to his fans on Monday Night "to everyone who is supporting the Tongans, thankyou so much for making us feel at home". The Tongan team will be facing Kiwis in November also in Hamilton.

How Can I Be A Good Citizen?

How Can I Be A Good Citizen?

What I’ll be writing about is how can I be or become a good citizen? So it will be talking about what I can do to become a great citizen.

For me to become a good citizen I could help out in the community like help people carry their shopping to their car and helping elderly cross the road. For example I could help people that are struggling to carry their shopping into the car by taking some of their groceries for them and putting it into their car. For example if I see an elderly trying to cross the road and there is to many cars going past I could help walk across safely by guiding them.

If I want to become a good citizen I should always keep our community clean. For me to become a good citizen I should always respect the areas I am in. For example I could get are group of friends or family to help me clean the reserves or the parks around our community to keep everything clean and tidy or I can do it by myself by picking up rubbish the isn’t mine.

I can become a good citizen by respecting the laws consistently. In order for me to become a good citizen I should always respect the laws of the community and country. For example I should the right things around others and even when no one is around I can also help people to understand why we have laws in our country and why we need to follow them.

This pretty much sums up what I am talking about so yea. For me the become a good citizen I should help others in need, I should keep our community clean, I should always follow the laws or the country and help others to understand the meaning of the laws.

This task was given to us by our teacher Ms Komor. She gave us this task because she wanted us to practice what we will be doing for our writing test. The subject she gave us was How can I be a good citizen but we will have a different subject for our test. What I found challenging was trying to figure out ways of how I can become a good citizen. What I didn't find challenging was the introduction and the conclusion. Next time I'll try add more information to my writing so it's long and the reader could have a better understanding of what I am writing about.

WALT: Reflect on what we did for Kiwi Sport.

Today for Kiwi Sport we done Run, Jump Throw It was really fun. I thought it was gonna be boring because we already know how to run jump and throw but they made everything fun for us. I forgot names but next week I'll try and remember. What I really enjoyed about today was the game we played at the end I don't know what it was called but we had to pass the ball to the person at the end and someone has to try beat the ball to the person at the end. We learnt how to run faster one tip is to check to check which means one hand should be up to the check on your face and on to the one at your rear end and another tip is to run on your tippy toes it actually helps me run faster so if it can help me then it can help you. What I didn't enjoy was writing this reflection because I didn't really feel like writing a reflection. What I did enjoy was watching the videos. Here is a video to show you what we done for our last game.

Maths

Maths

WALT: Reflect on what we done for maths.

Today for maths I went over my work from yesterday and I completed my work for today but today we didn't really have any maths problems to solve we just played with what's in the group basket. But today I was mostly looking over my work. What I found challenging was trying to figure out the last question which was Raj, Scott, and Samuel peeled Potatoes and got paid $2.50 to share between all three of them because it wasn't going to be an even number. What I didnt find challenging was question 1 because it asked me how much money would you get if you shared $1.00 between two people and the answer was 50 cents. Next time when I have spare time I might ask your teacher for more questions to by up the time I have left to do my work.

Technology Reflection

Technology Reflection

Today at technology I was working on my second design for our clocks my first clock is the Tongan coat of arms and my second design is a circle with polynesian patterns inside. I found my second design because I couldn't remember all the patterns that I learnt how to draw I don't know why I forgot the patterns. The design I like the most is my second one because I designed it myself I didn't copy from anything or anyone and my second design is the design I want to do because my first one I think it will be to hard to paint because there are a lot of small drawings in it. So what I found challenging was trying to remember the patterns and what I didn't find challenging was drawing the outline because it is only a circle. I haven't finished yet but I am up to half way of my project.

What Would I Do If I Won The Lotto

What Would I Do If You Won The Lotto

What I will be writing about is what would I do if I won the lotto. I chose this because I havn’t won the lotto yet because I’m too young so this will be like a plan for what I would do if I did win.

The first thing I would do is donate quarter the money to my church because I wanna be able to help the church with upgrades and the materials we need for classes and the instruments we need for the band. For example I will give the church money and they can go buy stuff we need to help out in the church. Another example is that they can use the money to upgrade the church bigger so the other Tongan S.D.A churches can come back and join us.

The second thing I would it on is are flight to go overseas to see family that I haven't met or haven't seen in along time. The reason why I would do this is because I wanna get to know them and I wanna see what they are doing with their lives. For example I'll be your ticket to Australia, Tonga or America to see my family. I’ll also spend some money on my family because I want to pay them back for what they done for me since I was little.

The last thing I would do is spend the rest of the money on  my brothers and my parents. I would spend it on my brothers because my two older brothers look out for me and they are the ones that tell me to keep going and I would spend it on my little brothers because that's what a older brother does. I would spend on my parents because they are the ones that looks after me and my brothers, they are the ones that gave us our education, they are the ones that provide food for us, they are the ones that put clothes on our backs, they have always been there for me.

The reason why I chose my church is because the people there have taught to be good and respect others. I chose to travel because I wanted to see my other family members and I chose my family because they have been their for me. I chose my brothers and parents because they are the people I grew up with.

This task was give to us by my teacher Ms Komor. What I found challenging was trying to find out what would I do with the money. What I didn't find challenging was the intro because it was easy to do. The next I do this I'll try to add more things into my paragraphs. What I enjoyed about this task is that it is like a plan for when I do win the lotto.

Inforpraphic

INFOPRAPHIC

WALA: what a infographic is.

This task was given to us from our cyber smart teacher Ms Shearing. An infographic is something that has information on it for others to use you can use it to give people instructions. What I found challenging was finding information for my infographic. What I didn't find challenging was finding and image because it was already on the infographic when I started. I don't really find making an infographic interesting because I just feels like normal work.

Reading W1T4

WALT: do a keyword hunt on the article the teacher has given us.
This task was given to us from our teacher. We have to find keywords and what we think the main parts are in the story. What I found challenging was trying to write my own paragraph with the keywords. The rest of the task I found easy to do. I worked on this task alone and the article we read is called Reps.

Maths W1T4

MATHS REFLECTION
WALT: Reflect on what we done for maths.
For this we our teacher gave my group which is the islander maths group. She gave us a task called A Sticky Problem. I was working on with a new student which is also my cousin and his name is Willow. There was six questions but i could only answer 5 because I was stuck on question five because I thought it was the same as question 4 but I got my teacher to come and explain it properly to me.

Technology Reflection

WALT: Reflect on what we done at Technology.

This is the task the Miss Ferguson gave us. We had to find a clock online with the design that we will be using for it. What I found challenging was trying to find an image of the design on a clock because I haven't seen a clock with the Tongan patch in the middle of the clock. Next week we will be practicing designing on paper so we know how to draw it on wood when we get it. What I didn't find challenging was answering the questions that Miss Ferguson gave to us to answer.

Bible Study-Lesson 1

Matthew 5:15-16

15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Matiu 5:15-16

15Pea ʻoku ʻikai tutu ha maama, mo tuku ia ʻi he lalo puha fua, ka ki he tuʻunga maama; pea ʻoku ulo ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fale. 16 Tuku ke ulo pehē hoʻomou maama ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue lelei, pea fakamālōʻia ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi.

I like this bible verse because it talks about the light that God has given us and it says to show your light to others so they can glorify our father up above. I chose this verse because I learnt it at are camp which was called Junior Camp and the theme was Ready Set Glow and because bible verse brings memories of what we done at camp. I think that this verse means that we shouldn't be afraid to share the light of God. I can demonstrate this verse by doing good deeds around our school so the the younger kids can do the same as what I have done. Some good things I can do around the school is helping out our caretaker aka Pio helping the little kids with their work.

Maori Language Week Asembley

Maori Language Week
WALT: Reflect on what happened at Maori language assembly.

Today we celebrated Maori language week. Our host was Fraces and Constance. First we started off with the New Zealand national anthem after that we done our school prayer. Most of the classes went up to perform a song in front of the school. Mss Kylad showed us a video of some students from her class teaching our classes Maori games and some information about their culture. We sang some Maori songs the name of the songs are Te Aroha, Matariki Song and Tutira Mai. Mataraki Song was a song written by our teacher Miss Kyla. We also gave a couple of awards to some students for showing our school values. One of the students that got an award was a friend of mine and his name is George.  Thats pretty much all we done for Maori Language week.

Fractions Of A Set

WALT: Show how we got our answers for the questions.
This is our follow up task for the week. Our teacher gave us some question based on fractions but we had to figure out the answer using multiplication and division. At first I didn't really get what she meant but it got easier after woods. Next week I hope we get to do more fractions. I think that I am improving in fractions because when I first started it, it kinda felt harder then I expected but then I got use to it. If you enjoyed then please leave a comment and if you have a different way of solving fraction problems then please leave it in the comments as well.

Design Brief

WALT: Reflect on what we worked on at technology.
At technology this week we had to make a design brief. It shows the people I want to make a clock for. We had to chose five people and write down what they like. What I found challenging was trying to figure out who I want to make the design for and what they like. When I finished this we had to make a Google drawing of what we want to make for them.
This is the Google drawing I made of what I want to draw for the design. Now I have to practice drawing these on paper before I put it on wood. Its good for us to practice drawing it because we might draw it wrong on wood. But design Im focusing on is the Tongan patch/

Ko Hai Au?

WALT: Relate to our ancestors.
Who am I?. This is an ancestry poem created by me it talks about me and my ancestors. This was an enjoyable activity what. I liked about it was that we got to talk about our ancestors and ourselves. What I didn't like about this was the planning because it took us two weeks because we had to read other poems and talk about what we think it is. If you enjoyed reading then please leave a comment.

Kiwi Can Reflection

KIWI CAN

WALT: Reflect on what we done during Kiwi Can

Today at Kiwi Can we had both instructors and their names are Miss Lily and Mr Malu. The first thing we did was talk about dealing with challenges but before we started talking about that we played a game called Hand Shake. In Handshake you have to have a partner and you have to come up with a Handshake that last at least ten seconds. After our energizer we talked about dealing with problems we started off by talking about the different challenges we face at school. Some of the challenges we can face is bullying, following instructions, following school rules and other things. After we talked about that we talked about how we can achieve those challenges. Then we got into our activity which was called Fruit Salad. In Fruit Salad you have to get a fruit name and if the instructor calls out your fruit you have to find someone with the same fruit and swap with them but if you are the last person standing then you have to stand in the middle of the circle and do a dance for ten second. Next week I hope we get to play games outside and learn more about our topic.

This is what we done at technology if you enjoyed reading then please leave a comment.

Kiwi Sport Reflection

Hip Hop

WALT: Reflect on what we done at Kiwi Sport.
Today our instructor Jasmine showed up for our Hip Hop lesson, she has been sick for the past two weeks. Today we done more of choreography which is practicing a dance routine and then presenting it to the audience. In my group was Sene and Falakiko we were a bit confused but then we got use to the dance moves. First we done the Macarena, Alf, James Brown and then our own dance which was the Monobrow. I had a good time at Kiwi Sport next week I hope we get to learn more dance moves to help add on to what we have learnt from our others sessions. What I enjoyed about Kiwi Sport was when we got into our groups and created our dance routine because sometimes it was funny when we were still practicing. What I didn't enjoy about Hip Hop was when we went to perform because it was kinda confusing on stage with everyone watching us. I think Hip Hop is a great way for us to interact with others so we can make more friends.

Thank you for reading if you enjoyed then please leave a comment.

Multiplication Wheels

This is my groups follow up task for this week which is called multiplication wheels. What I enjoyed about this task was that It started off easy for me but when it came towards the end it started getting challenging. I worked on this task with my two friends which are Aumau and Toma but we did it on separate presentations. This is a good presentation it can help us with our basic facts next week I hope we get to do more of this but more challenging so I can challenge myself.
