Week 5 Reflection

WHAT:On Monday we had Mrs Calman. We still did our normal reading, writing and maths rotations. On Tuesday we had the senior school athletics. There were six events sprints, long distance, vortex,  shot put, high jump and long jump. We got a new Habit of Mind which is Finding Humour. On Wednesday we had badminton. First we did our stretches and then we played a game. After that we played on a full court two v two. Then we had a small competition were there would be one court but two people on each side using half a court. It was really challenging using only half. On Thursday after lunch we had Mr Petersen while Mrs Larsen was out of the room for a while.

SO WHAT: I learnt a new badminton grip called the backhand grip. I learnt a new habit of mind which is finding humour and I learnt a new game.

NOW WHAT:  My goal for this week was to finish my art work and I was able to on time but I didn't get to go out for a swim because there wasn't enough people who brought there togs. My goal for next week is to get all of my work done on time so we can either go outside for a game or go swimming.

Athletics

On Tuesday the senior school had athletics. There were six events high jump, long distance, sprints, long jump, shot put and vortex. First of  all we lined up in our age groups and then we walked off to our first event. We had heats and finals in every event but the event that I found was the hardest was sprints. In the heats I came first but in the finals I came 4th.

Our Assembly Play

In Room 15 we did a play called the three little pigs, a wolf and a mud pie. I am Tac one of the three pigs. I am one of the main people along with Tic, Toe and the wolf. Being an all boys class some of us had to be girls with wigs and dresses on and it really made the whole junior school laugh. At first I thought that I was never going to learn my lines in one week but luckily I learnt them the day before the item. Then the next day it was assembly day. I was feeling very nervous in front of everybody but once I  had done the first scene I didn't feel nervous at all.  I was one of the three pigs. I wore a pig mask and a red shirt. At some parts of the play it was really funny like when we did a big dance along with a song.

When the play had finished I really wanted to carry on because I was having lots and lots of fun. Then when we got back in class we had lots of teachers coming in and giving us comments about our play. I felt really relieved that we had finished. I can't wait to do our next assembly item and I wonder what it will be about.

Reading Activity-Evaluation

Evaluation

Gymnastics is too dangerous because:

If you were young you could fall of the high bar and break one of your bones.

You could slip off something and hurt yourself or maybe break your neck.

If you try to do a trick you could accidently fail and really hurt yourself.

Gymnastics isn’t dangerous because:

If you start young and each day take little steps to harder and harder things later on in life you will be used to them and you will be able to do the hard things easier.

You have soft mats to fall on to if you accidently fall. 

Week 3 Reflection

WHAT: On Monday we had bike safety with Constable Val. We all brought our bikes to school to go around a bike circuit without going off. There was a small ramp,  two U turns, a ladder and a stop sign that we used the stop signal on. On Wednesday we had badminton. First we did our stretches, then we had a game, and finally we had a little competition. We had five games each and the winner would go right onto the next court and the the person who lost had to go the back a court. On Thursday we got to go swimming in our school pool. It was funny because Isaiah, Tarron and Keylen went in there undies. For art we are painting our initials but we have to do them with other sections so you cannot notice them. I think that my one will look really cool. Our habits of mind is taking responsible risks. In class we talked about what a responsible and what a irresponsible risk is.

SO WHAT: I learnt how to do a backhand fore grip in badminton. I learnt a new habit of mind and I learnt some more things about bike safety like why we wear a helmet properly.

NOW WHAT: My goal was to get all of my work finished. I think I have done that because I got to have free time in the swimming pool. My goal for next week is to finish my art work and to be able to go swimming again.

My Logo - Contract

For my contract I did a logo for my CO2 car. It is called The Fastest.

Responsible Or Irresponsible Character

Trap, a very bad joker.

For our habits of mind we have been doing responsible risks. So for our habits of mind we got a picture of someone who takes responsible or irresponsible risks from a book because without a risk taker it wouldn't be a fun or interesting book. For my character I did Trap from the book Geronimo Stilton. I think that he is an irresponsible risk taker because he always does jokes on Geronimo that could be very frightening or could even injure him very badly. Trap does jokes like putting a whole bottle of chilly sauce in Geronimo's burger.
