Balancing | HPE

Today for HPE we did balancing using a bat and a table tennis ball.

First we went over on how to hold a bat. You had to hold it like you are shaking someones hand while making a gun shape.

Next we bounce the table tennis ball while holding the bat with our forehand. 

Then we bounced the table tennis ball while holdig the bat with our back hand.

After we need to balance the table tennis ball on the bat the last three people was the champion.

Lastly we played a game of table tennis the other people had to vs the champion. You had to drop the ball and hit it to bounce to the other side.The other people who were the one who were surving the ball. The other people had 3 trys to beat the champion. 

I liked this activiy because I learnt how to hold a bat.

Table Mat

For reading we did table mat using the strategy skimming and scaninng. Our book was Killer quakes.

Skimming is when you are going through the text and looking and for keywords. Scanning is when you stop and focus on the information on the text.

First I skimmed through the text and looked for key words. My keywords was earths crust, and landslide. Then I scanned through the text and looked for information in chronological order.

Lastly I recored my keywords and facts onto my table mat.

I liked this activity because I did more skimming and scanning. 

Balancing | frisbee skills

I used frisbee skills to help me balance when throwing and catching a frisbee.. 

First we got into partners and had turns throwing the frisbee.

Next we one of us acted like a dog and the other throws the frisbee. Using the technique of running while the frisbee was in the air and jumping to catch the frisbee.

Then one of us throws the frisbee and the other person catchs it and face a part of the school.

Lastly we played a game where there are two goals and one team has to put the frisbee in the other teams while the other team is is doing the same thing but protecting their goal.

I like this activitys because I learnt frisbee skills.

Translate names

 Today for maori I practiced translating maori to english names.

 First I translated the maori names with the english names.

 Next I wrote names with colours the colours I used was blue, white, and brown.

 Then I wrote the english letters that the maori alphabet doesn't have.

Lastly I translated my name into a maori name. My name is Alexxa and it turned into Arexa.

I need to practice my moari because I keep going into maori dictionary.

Questions

 For Maori I learnt maori sentences.

First we revised mua, muri, and runga. Mua means infront, muri means behind, runga means on top.

Next I revised  the question which was Kei hea te panana? The question means where is the banana.

Then I went to maori dictionary to traslate fruit and objects.

I liked this activity because I learnt something new.

Balance | HPE

I learnt how to balance by using tennis equipments.

 First I balanced the tennis ball on the racket while walking around.

Next I bounced the ball on the tennis racket while balancing.

Then my partner threw the ball to me and I hit it in balanced position. 

After that I ran, stopped, and hit the ball in a balanced position

I liked this activity because it helped me with my balance.

Maori Question

 Today for Maori we leanrt different Maori prepositon.

The first prepositon is waho which means outside, The second prepositon roto which means inside, The third prepositonis mua which means front and the fourth prepositon muri which means behind.

With these Maori prepositon you can ask question as example kei hea te .... which means where is the ....

I liked this activity, but I need to practice saying the words because I struggle with them.

 I read a fiction book this book is called Moth.

This book is about a moth that is looking for a friend she isn't like the other moths this moth doesn't like the light and the crowds.

The author and the illustrator is Belinda Mellor and Jen Campbell.

I like this book because the moth is different to the other moths.

Balance Challenge | HPE

 We made our own challenge based on balancing.

First, we planned out what challenge we were doing. Our plan was to stand on one leg and swing our arms back and forth while holding the bottle.

Next, we tested out our challenge by avoiding our tipping point while making the bottles touch each other.

Lastly, we took a photo and recorded our results and we made our poster. 

I liked this activity because we got to make our own challenge.

HPE | Balancing

Today for HPE we practiced balancing on one foot and with different equiment.

At the first station the equiment we used was a volley ball. With the volley ball one person throws the ball and the other person thorws it back while balancing on one foot.  This was hard because I was losing my balance when I throwed the ball.

At the next station the equiment we used was soccer ball. With the soccer ball we balanced the ball with our head and then we balanced the ball with our knee. This was hard because when I balanced the ball on my head it would slip of my head.

At the next station the equiment we used was tenins racket. With the tennis racket one person throws the ball so the other person to hit the ball while balancing. This was easy because we just had to balance on one leg.

At the next station the equiment we used was hockey ball and the hockey stick. With the hockey ball and the hockey stick one person rolls the ball so the other person can hit the ball with the hockey stick and balance. This was hard because the ball will always the ball was hard to hit.

At the next station the equiment we used was the egg and spoon. With the egg and spoon we took turns balancing on one foot and balancing the egg on the spoon. This was hard because the egg will always go off the spoon.

 

Reciprocal Reading

We did reciprocal reading with two PDFs What we lived and What we lost.

First the leader gives roles to each person in the group the summariser, questioner, clarifier, and the predictor. We read the text What we lost, it was about the soldiers suffering from injury and being scared of bullets. Many were injured and lots died. The conditions they lived in were horrible. There was a lot of disease.

The most helpful role is the clarifier It gives us lots of  information while reading the text and helps us to understand what we are reading.

Next, we read the text about where we lived. This text was about Lady Liverpool inspiring women and children throughout NZ to sew shirts and pyjamas; to knit socks, balaclavas, mittens, and cholera belts, and to donate holdalls and sewing kits.

My favourite role was clarifier because I can unlock information but I should work on predictor because I struggle a lot being it.
