Blogging questions

What are your previous experiences with blogging? 

The last time I blog was when I was in Digi Tech & primary I liked blogging.

  

How do you think blogging impacts on your learning?

Blogging impacts my learning because people around the world could see my work & people from my school & other schools could give me feed back on how I could fix the incorrect stuff I did.

How do you feel about blogging? Why?

What I feel about blogging is that its cool cause everyone could see what you've done & see that your trying to pass your NCEA Level & how you get better & better at blogging. So I really like blogging. 

ChopSticks - P.E

April 10th 2017

In our Physical activity assessment we learnt this new game , Called "ChopSticks"

So how this game goes is that you have 4 cones in each corner and a puck in the middle of the 4 cones, there would be 2 teams & the 2 teams have 2 Pucks to protect in the 4 cones. The only way they can win is to get 1 or both Pucks to there side, inside the 4 cones where there pucks were. But the only way you can get it across is that you need to 2 people to lift it up the Puck across with your hockey stick, you cannot hit the Puck , you cannot not use your hands , you have to lift it across using your hockey stick. If you drop it you need to take it back. If you get tagged you will take it back inside the cones.

Equipment:

1. Hockey stick

2. 16 cones

3. 4 Pucks

Set it up:

1. Put the 4 cones in 4 corners

2. Put the Pucks in the middle of the 4 cones

Its a Outdoor or Indoor game.

• What level or effort and engagement were participating at during today's physical activity

I think I am Achieve because I came with my correct P.E gear. I used my own strategy during the game, when i was watching the other team play, I just thought of a way to try get the Puck over & faster. I kept playing when my leg was sore, the Puck because the rules changed & it got more exciting & funny but it was painful but I wanted to ACHIEVE!.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• What were three factors which influenced your participation?

1. Equipment

2. Well being

3.  Challenge

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explain how these factors affected your participation?

I picked those 3 factors because , I will always need my gear to participate in the activity thats been explain & cause i'll need to be well behaved during the game while were playing & because I might ruin it for other people. Last factor I picked was "Challenge" , cause sometimes I think the game is too easy & I might just need something harder, like next time make it harder. I always need to complete my goals. I wanted to play the game more & I liked it alot.

How I spent my time in the holidays explanation

The Holidays are two week holiday when we don’t go to school.It is a chance to vist your family and friends and do house chores. We have holidays to spend time with family and relax. People relax by sleeping or watching tv. I spent my time on sports , boxing and rugby, first let me explain my daily routine.

In the holidays I usually wake up at about 1:00pm and go to the bathroom and  have a shower, wash my face, brush my teeth and eat breakfast, then watch tv and wait for my friends to come and pick me up at 1:30pm.

When my friends pick me up we go and have a quick boxing battle,

we put on our boxing gloves got ready, after we were putting on our gloves we started sparing, but it was only training, when we were training we stopped and had a rest. After our rest we went and played some rugby league the teams were Sydney Rabbitohs vs Sydney  Roosters.

When we were playing rugby league roosters had 16 points and my team rabbitohs had 14 points, then it was half time. While we were waiting for the game to start again we had drinks, powerade, Gatorade and our food was some sandwich. Then we went back on the field and played, when I got in the field I got the first try of the half, then 1 one my friends got tackled and got injured. After we had to get 1 more score to win, then they got the last score, but it was a good game, it was fun, exciting and hard.

When we finished playing rugby we went and had some tasty KFC after our KFC we went back home at 3:00pm and went to sleep.

It was trying running, tackling, training and lots of eating.

Dear Matua Leighton

My name is Moli. I am a year 8 student at Glenbrae School. Thank you very much for coming to Glenbrae School to talk to the year 7 & 8 students about a career in teaching.

I was happy when you came to Glenbrae School and told us about yourself and how you became a teacher. When you were telling us about you wanting to be a millionaire, it was funny. I learned it’s important to find a good job to support your family.

You have inspired us to study well, get a job and do our best for our families.

Yours sincerely

Moli
