Triathlon refkection

Triathlon Reflection

How did feel before event?

I felt nervous and excited at the same time and felt like I had butterflies in my stomach.

What part was the hardest

easiest= why?

I found biking easy but I tried my best kinda and it was very fun.

How did you do - enjoy

I did really great but then I was slowing down.

What would you like to improve.

My biking, because I was going a bit slow and came 5th or 4th.

Suggestion to teachers-

There should maybe be a stand where you can buy some soft drinks (soda) for maybe $2 and more speakers if we can afford it.

Athletics Reflection

Athletics Reflection

I think I did well in the athletics because I tried my best and came 5th in the 100 meter run.

I enjoyed jumping over the pole in high jump because I get to land on the big blue mattress.

My most successful event was the 50 meter hurdle run, because I came 2nd in the 1st round, and 3rd in the 2nd and 3rd round.

My least successful event was the inter school high jump because when I got over the pole in my last 2 jumps I either touched the pole with my feet or hand.

I could have improved on not touching the pole when I jumped up into the air and onto the mattress. Throwing the soft ball into the air so it goes further

If the hurdle run was longer, if you had more chances for the inter schools high jump, and if the the 100 meter run was a little longer.

Unusual bikes

For the last 2 weeks our class has been biking. Our teacher came up with an idea to create an advertisement on an image we found when typed  Unusual Bikes. We came up with ideas to make people want to buy it. Here's my bike I picked to advertise......

This bike is not real, sorry if you had to go and find a shop called 29ers bike shop.

Lol Pop reflection

LOL POP

Market Day

Room 20’s and 9’s company name was called 29ers food company, the  product was called LOL POP. Our catchphrase was Lickin it, eatin it, laughing out loud.

I think that everyone did a great job on their posters and same with the other classes.

Lol pop was really tasty when I tried it for the first time. It was easy to take out of the cup as well.

I learnt how to advertise from reading other adverts, I also learnt how to create one as well.

I think that the free gift was a great idea for the product because more kids will buy it. The free gift was a moustache.

Why you should buy a dog

WHY YOU SHOULD OWN A DOG,

BECAUSE

DOGS ARE DA BOMB

Most kids and parents have pets, some of them have cats, rats, parrots and maybe even chinchillas. I think dogs are the best because they’re really fun, easy to look after and they’ve got lots of personalities. Dogs can be full of energy most of time, you can even train them to do awesome tricks. After you read this, you’ll not only want a dog, you’ll own one.

Dogs can be really playful and pumped up, you can play fetch with them and chase them around the field or backyard. When you come back home from school, they’ll be wagging their tails ready to play. When mum says you have to go outside, you can play with your dog/s.  If you're lying on the ground bored out of your mind, your dog is always there to comfort you. In your spare time, you could try teaching it how to do some tricks like roll over,  high five, and maybe a backflip if it’s really talented.

Secondly, dogs are easy to look after. You only have feed them about 3-4 biscuits every morning and afternoon, it really depends on what dog you have. Dogs can be  full of lots of energy  but at the end of day they're just a lazy  pile of fur. If your dog gets thirsty, all you have to do is either grab a dog bowl or a bucket and fill it with water. But if you use a bucket, make sure to clean it before pouring water into it. And if you run out of dog biscuits, you can buy a new big bag of dog biscuits about $39 or higher.

Lastly, dogs can have lots of personalities. If you're feeling down, your dog will lick your knee or face and cheer right you up. Sometimes they won’t be there to cheer  you up, but I reckon they’ll be there. They always keep you company and some dogs can be really protective like a guard dog for example (If you don’t crave a burglar alarm, your dog can be one.) If you have two dogs, they’ll keep each other company. If there female, and male, you could have puppies and those puppies will turn into dogs. Then you could probably sell them for money, or keep them to make more baby puppies.

Some people wouldn’t like or want a dog because they poop everywhere, they leave their muddy trails on the floor. But most dogs poop on the grass in one area and they won’t come into the house if you close the door.

So now you have it, now you know dogs are the best. Dogs can really build up a bond with the owner and fill him or her with joy. If I were you I would buy a dog maybe now or tomorrow if you have the money.

How to tie a figure of 8 knot

How to tie a figure of 8 knot

A figure of 8 knot is the easiest knot to tie, I’ll be teaching you how to tie a figure of 8 knot. This can be really usefull.

1. First of all, make a loop with your rope.

2. Then you twist the loop once so that it looks like this.

3. Next you grab rope A and place it through the loop.

4. Now you pull both lines of the rope and you should have a knot that looks like an 8.

Now you know how to tie a figure of 8 knot, this should be easy for anyone that tries this but if you failed, I’d probably read this again. If you succeed, thumbs up!

2nd Production Reflection

Production Reflection

Wednesday 27th August 2014, all the Yr 4,5’s and 6’s had a production to do at 6:30pm. There were 4 legends, room 11 and 20 (that’s us) was the last group to do the “LEGEND OF TE MATA O RONGOKAKO”. I was in the back row of the carvers who were in the front of the rest. We heard the starting group of the play start talking. The curtains opened and the play began.

I was feeling pretty nervous before the play started and seeing all those people made me worry but then I realized that I’ve been practising so I should do well. When we finished doing our play, I was glad and really tired.

I thought the play went really well but we had some errors and people secretly getting in trouble but I thought everyone did a good job on the production.

I need to work on my expression,  being less worried and the kapa haka the rest was just all goods.

How New Zealand Formed Into Islands

Our class have been creating some story birds of a myth we wrote. My myth is about how Maui fished up the North Island, it's also about how the South Island of NZ was formed. (Click on the link above to read my story bird)

The Production

Production Reflection

LEGEND RONGOKAKO

On 27th of August 2014 Nga Rakau Nui is performing a production in the hall at half past 6. Room 20’s and 11’s production is about how Te Mata Peak was formed.

I am feeling pretty nervous about the production because I may mess up when I’m acting to Kotahitanga.

I am worried about how I will act when it’s just my turn to talk.

I am feeling confident about standing in the front of the carvers and practising in front of some people will make me more confident.

I am excited about doing Kotahitanga with a patu (cardboard) and watching Rongokako die at the end of our production.

I still need to work on saying “Kiora, we are the carvers the makers of tools for hunting and warfare” a bit louder and with more expression.
