Kiwisport Reflection

Monday 27th February Room 9 went downstairs to the hall for our Badminton lesson with our instructor Ben.When we got in the hall we were given instructions to play stuck in the mud.Once we finished playing stuck in the mud, we went inside and he started teaching us how to move when your are going to hit the shuttle with Forehand.Learning how to move to hit the shuttle with Forehand was really difficult because I thought that I was going to fall.The way you move to hit the shuttle using Forehand sounded easy but was a little bit hard because I had to step out with my right foot and bring my left foot along in the back.After we got the hang of it me and my buddy Akanesi went to play a rally.A rally is when you hit the shuttle at your partner’s Forehand side.When he thought we were ready he called us down to the mat.When we were sitting down he taught us how to move when we are using Backhand.The movement that we had to use was more difficult because we had to first step out with our left leg if we were right handers and then we had to step out again with our right crossing over our left leg.So me and my buddy Akanesi went outside and practiced stepping, It was really hard .Once Ben thought we we were ready he told us we were going to do a rally with our partner.It was a lot harder than practicing to step because it felt like you were playing against someone for a title.When he called the people outside in he talked to us about the way we move to hit the shuttle.Once he finished his talk we put away the Badminton gear, said thank you and went back to class.

Valentine's Day Research

WALT: understand the origin of Valentine's day
Today I have finished my research about Valentine's Day
Where was it originated?
Valentine’s day was originated from a ancient Roman festival called Lupercalia. Lupercalia was celebrated annually on February 15th.

Why do we celebrate it?

We celebrate Valentine’s Day because it’s an Ancient and Roman Tradition. Also February is known as a month of Romance and how The real name of Valentine’s Day is St Valentine’s Day.

How did it came about?

Valentine’s day got it’s name from a famous saint.The most popular story about St Valentine was that he was a Priest in Rome in the third century.Emperor Claudius the second banned marriage because he thought the men women married were bad solders.In strike St Valentine thought that it was unreasonable and was really unfair.So St Valentine broke the rules and arranged a secret marriage.When Emperor found out St Valentine was thrown into jail and sentenced to death.In jail he fell in love wit the jailer’s daughter and when they were about to do the execution on the 14th February he gave a love letter signed From your Valentine.

When was it first celebrated?

Valentines day’s roots are from a roman festival called Lupercalia. Pope Gelasius 1 then realised that the 14th of February was St Valentine's day.  

What does it mean?

The 14th of February is a day where it is traditional to send a Card, Gift or Letter to someone you admire of romantically involved with.

Who was involved?

The people involved in the Valentine’s Day Massacre was Al Capone and George “Bugs” Moran

Why the 14th of February?

The ancient Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia which was a Spring Festival on the 15th February. Then came in the introduction of Christianity and they moved the Festival back to the 14th February which is the Saint day that celebrated early martyrs with one named Valentine.

Kiwi Can Recount

Kiwi Can Rcount

WALT: Write a recount about Kiwi Can

Tuesday 21st February Room 9 went to Kiwi Can inside the Music Room.When we were lining up outside the Music Room Mr M put us into teams and their were 4 teams. I was in Team 4 and then we sat in our Group's. Our Kiwi Can leaders were Mr M and George.Our Energizer was walking around to the music , Finding a partner and also finding their Name, Nationality, Favourite food and Future Endeavours which is what they want to be when the grow up.After our Energizer we talked about how our Tone of voice can affect others.For example if you say the phrase " Wow that's great" in an angry tone people mostly think that you're not happy for them which is sort of like your jealous.After our Talk about tone of voice we did our activity which was acting out different Scenario's.After watching all of the other groups Scenarios I have to say they were so funny. I thought that our Kiwi Can Lesson was very cool because we got to have fun and I learnt that your Tone of voice can affect others.

Place Value Game

WALT:Make the and read the biggest number using Place Value

On Thursday 16th February Miss Fepuleai did a maths game with Room 9.We got a scrap piece of paper and we had to draw Ten column's with Six boxes inside.The aim of the game was to make the biggest number with the Six number's Miss Fepuleai would pull out.I only got one of the biggest numbers out of the Ten.I thought that the game we played was very good because it would help us with our place value.When Miss Fepuleai called out the sixth number she would draw her own column and show us the biggest number you could make.After she would write the number she would call out one of the student to try and say the number.In conclusion I thought that the game we played was a very good game because it helped us pronounce big numbers and it helped us with our Place Value.

Weekend reflection

Saturday

On Saturday I went for a shower and went to go and see my niece Rosi at Panmure Mcdonald's for her 10th birthday.  When me and my dad got to Mcdonald's he went back home so he could make the Qalu.  Qalu is Tavioka and Taro scraped, put together, Covered in tinfoil,Boiled in Hot boiling water and dished with a Caramel like syrup which is actually Brown sugar and Coconut cream.  Her cake was netball themed and it had a Netball dress with GK for Goal Keep on the top.  After she cut the cake we went to her house.  Since my dad went I caught a ride with my Auntie Kalo.  When we reached the house my cousin's Tukana , Sera and Akiripa came over and we played Man Hunt.  After two hours my dad came with my Blue Hoverboard and we played on it with the music playing while we also recorded video's.  We played for Hours until Tukana , Sera  and Akiripa went home.  Since Rosi, Jane, Talei, Billy Boy, Micah and Seci finished their showers me and my Dad went home so I could shower also taking Rosi, Jane and Talei.After I showered we went back and played on my Hoverboard until we got really tired.So we went inside and one by one we all fell alseep.

Sunday

This morning I woke up and I was still at Rosi's house and I started freaking out because I had to go to church.So then I stopped freaking out and my uncle started their Lotu which means church in fijian.After they started my Dad pulled up in the driveway and I went home to get ready for Church.When I got to class my new teachers were Raymond and Paia and the were teaching about Nephi building a boat.After church I went back to my Niece Rosi's house and we played with Jane, Talei,Micah,Seci and Billy Boy.Sadly Billyboy Jane and Talei had to go back home for school.So I watched Miranda Sings with Rosi and Micah until we fell asleep.

Jewelry Design

This morning we went to Technology for our Graphics Lesson 2 and we were talking about Jewelry Design.The first thing we did was talk about what we were doing.When I first heard about Jewelry Design I was thinking about everything being all decorative and everyone was going to be creating new designs.We first started by going onto a presentation and did our Design Brief.I personally thought that I knew who I was going to choose but I had a very hard time choosing.Our Design Brief was the part where we picked 5 people and chose one person and wrote some of the things that our clients like.My client that I chose was Aja because she's is always kind to me at church and we also like to watch movies together when she's sleeping over.I was going to chose my sister but I changed my mind.

Design Brief

After we did our Design Brief we made another slide and found photo's of the things they like.The photo's I we had to use had to be transparent.I was really excited that we were going to find photo's because I knew all the photo's already in my head.

What my Client likes

Last but not least we found some photo's of jewelry and put them onto a slide and put labels for each item.My favorite photo of the items was the Dolphin Anklet because I like Sea creatures.I picked a Ring. Bracelet, Tiara, Anklet, Earrings and a Necklace

 

I thought over all that our Jewelry Design class with Miss Ferguson was really cool because we got to go on google and search up photo's for our work.

Technology Graphics Lesson 1

Today when we went to Technology we had Miss Ferguson and she taught about Graphics.  The first thing we did was learn what the D meant in 2D and 3D.  In 3D the D means Dimension or in another word size.  A 3D shape has 3 sides and a 2D shape has 2 sides.  Miss Ferguson gave us each a A4 paper to draw our shapes on. 

After our 3D vs 2D talk we learnt that an Ellipse is a circle on an angle which is also known as an Oval.  We made 2 different shapes with the Ellipse which was a Cylinder and a Cone.  Then we talked about Oblique.  Our talk about Oblique was talking about how to make 3D shapes.  Once our talk was finished we drew 3D shapes

One of the challenges that I had was drawing my first cube because my lines were all crooked.  I think overall my favorite part in our session was drawing the Ellipse to make new shapes.  This term i'm hoping to learn more about Graphic designs.

Here is a photo if my paper that I used in my first Technology Graphics Class.
