Kiwi Can Reflection

Kiwi Can

WALT: Give it a go and don't give up.

On Tuesday we had Kiwi Can but only Mr Malu was there because Miss Lilly was sick. When we walked in the hall we were split into four groups. We started off with a game called fish in the bucket. The point of the game is to shoot a fish into a bucket but don't use actual fish. Every time a stages finishes you have to move the bucket back. I was in group two. My group didn't win any of the stages but at least we gave it a go. After our energizer we had to try and come up with a chant but my group and two other groups failed After the chants we went outside for our last energizer. For our last energizer we had to put a rugby ball under our t-shirts and run to the other side of the field without dropping it but when you get to the other side you have to spin around ten times. After our energizer we had a game of rugby but the girls went to the other side of the field and played a game of touch a think. My group was put together with group 1 and group 3 was put together with group 4. It was a good game. There were no fights no dirty playing and other stuff like that. My team ended up winning. The main thing I learnt at Kiwi Can was to stay calm and carry on because I saw some people about to start going overboard with their tackles but they just stayed calm and carried on with the game.

Kiwi Sport

WALT: Play Basketball games to improve our dribbling.

The challenges that I had in our lesson was trying to stay calm, don't give up on myself and team and to not slip on the court. I couldn't really stay calm in my team because there was alot of shouting on the court coming from my team and the other team. During our last game I was almost gonna give up on myself but when our coach shouted out the score I noticed that we were still losing so I kept going and never stopped trying. I also found that I kept on slipping on the court because of my balance. It is hard to stay balance when there are heaps of people coming at you when you have the ball that's why I kept slipping. The best part of the lesson was our first game which was golden child because my team was really good with their shooting but when it came to running they kept slowing down but we managed to win the whole thing. I really liked the last game because it was challenging but we still managed to get the ball in the hope. When I looked at the opposite team I noticed that my team had lots of short people and the other team had lots of tall people but didn't stop us from getting the ball in. What I didn't like about today session was that most of my team mates was trying their best and not sharing the ball with others that's why we lost the last game for Kiwi Sport. What I also didn't like was hearing that this week was our last week of Kiwi Sport for this term because we had some great time with our coaches their names are Hyrum and Peter. I hope we see them next term as well.

Lions Tour Manager Attacked

Lions Tour Manager Attacked

IALT: summarise an article that I have read into my own words.

Lions tour manager John Spencer was attacked at an Auckland restaurant by a drunk NZ man. The attack happened at a popular city center venue, Depot. John Spencer was having dinner with his wife, family and friends when a drunk man walked up to John Spencer and started abusing him with bad language and other things. The staff member didn't take action for what the man was doing to John Spencer so he kept trying to push him away. A photograph was requested but a man described to be bruck walked up to him. John was part of the 1971 Lions squad. The only victorious Lions tour in New Zealand. The Lions don't want to make any complaints and don't want to put charges on the man for what he done. All the lions staff has been well treated since they had landed in NZ. The landed on May the 31. He is the only staff member that has been rudely treated since they have landed. The man who was drunk is lucky that they did not press any charges on him. I'm surprised that they didn't want to complain about the man.

QLD VS NSW Game Two

IALT: write my thoughts and feelings on the State Of Origin game two.

The second game for the state of origin was a good game for. I am a Queensland supporter. It was a great game for Queensland. Now Johnathan Thurston can trie and win another game for his last year in the State Of Origin. It was also great when one of the greatest players of Queensland returned to the Origin and his name is Billy Slater. Queensland was lucky that Johnathan Thurston got their last conversion in because if they didn't they would of had to play for an extra five minute or would of had to try and score a try before full time. Billy Slater was the first person to get hit in the game but they earned a penalty because he got tackled without the ball. Now that queens and have won the second game both teams will have to try and win the last game if they want to win 2017 State Of Origin. The next game is in 12 of July 2017. Three players got hit in the second game but I only know the names for two players. One of them was Jarryd Hayne and one of them was Billy Slater. Johnathan Thurston didn't miss any of his conversions at the game but NSW kicker only missed one of his conversions which gave QLD the chance to win.

Matariki

WALT: make a film on what we learnt about Matariki.

This was a short film made by me and my two friend Falakiko and Sene. This film talks about what we know about Matariki. We wanted to add more stuff to our script but we also wanted to keep it nice and short. Make sure to go and leave a comment on their blogs as well. FALAKIKO BLOG SENE BLOG. What I found challenging was trying to memorize my lines. What I didn't find challenging was recording because we didn't have to restart our recording that much but we restarted like three times.

Kiwispot Reflection

Kiwispot Reflection
WALT: Show teamwork while playing Basketball at Kiwisport.
Today at Kiwisport we were only playing games because it was our last session but only Peter turned up today because the other coaches where away. The first game we played was Golden Child. In Golden Child you will need two teams one team for shooting and one team for running. The team that is running as to run around the court before the person shooting gets the ball in. The last person running has to try and tag the people that are out to get them back in the game but if they don't cross the line then the whole group is out. I was the first Golden Child Then My friend Matthew and then My friend Siale went. My team lost I think it was 1-4 that was the points. The second game that we played was Numbers. In Numbers you will also need two teams. Both team has to stand on the sideline so when the coach shouts out a number that is that number of people that has to run on to the court. My team won the whole game the points was 10-0. But I only played for a little while because I took one of my mates to the sick bay because he slipped and hit the pole and scraped his knee. When I came back it was the last round but I didn't really do anything in the last round I just ran on the court and shouted peoples names. After the last game we got into a circle and put our hands in and shouted Tamaki.

What I Know About Tree Planting

Tree Planting

What I know about tree planting is:

• Helps Reduce Air Pollution
• There Are Different Types Of trees You Can Plant
• It Celebrates Matariki
• It Supplies Us With Food

When we plant trees it helps reduce air pollution. The tree takes in all the bad air and turns it into good air so that we can breathe properly.

There are different types of trees that you can plant. Some trees come with fruits but the fruits only grow at a certain time.

Matariki is one of the celebrations we have in New Zealand. It represents the Maori new years. Many people say that planting crops and trees is one of the many ways to celebrate Matariki.

Some trees have fruits that grow from them. If you plant a tree that has food growing from it you are helping the community and helping yourself. You're helping yourself because it gives you food to feed your family and yourself.

Types Of Trees

• Oak Trees
• White Oak Trees
• Banana Trees
• Coconut Trees
• Palm Trees
• Apple Trees
• Peach Trees
• Lemon Trees
• Orange Trees
• Pohutukawa Tree

These are the types of trees that I know. If you want more than search it up on Google.
