The activities were high jump, long jump, shot put, vortex, sprints and long distance. Here is a little slide show that Mrs Larsen made, it has pictures of some of the things we did at athletics.

Assembly Item

On Friday our class performed  a class item in assembly. Our item was Two Pigs a Wolf and a Mud Pie. Our four main characters were Tarron who was Ima, Keylen who was Tic, then we had Jake who was Tac and Kahu who was Toe. Then we had the co characters they were Casey who was Snow White, Caleb who was Cinderella, Cole who was Hansel and Joshua who was Gretel. Also Brandin who was the wicked witch. Me and Isaiah were the prop people we were also the people who had to come up with the music and the dance moves, the song we chose was I got a good feeling by Avicci. It was for scene three which was at a festive ball. We also had dwarves who came out of Snow White's house. After our Item I felt  stoked that we did the whole thing perfectly.

Week 3 Reflection

WHAT: This week we learnt two new Maori phrase which is Homai te  and Homai to. Homai to means pass me your..... and Homai te means pass the....... Also this week we started swimming in the school swimming pool pretty much every day we have gone swimming. This week we also went down to Springvale stadium to learn more skills to have while you are playing badminton. When we were there we were taught how to use the back hand hit. After that we had a mini tournament where it was one on one,  if you lost you had to go back one half of the court but if you won you had to go forward half a court. Our habit of mind is taking responsible risks for an activity we chose a character out of book that is a risk taker and if they are  a responsible risk taker or if they are a irresponsible risk taker.Also my goal last week was to listen more to people if they are talking to me.

SO WHAT: This week I found out all of the things your bike needs to pass a bike safety test. I also learnt that Tarron could be a swim suit model when he grows up.



NOW WHAT:Next week  I hope to do more activities on taking responsible risks. I also want to go swimming. My goal next week is to concentrate  on my work.

Risky Characters

For  our habits of mind we have been learning about taking responsible risks. For an activity we chose a character out of a book and explained whether it was a responsible risk or a irresponsible risk.

Dennis The Menace

     

I think that Dennis the Menace takes irresponsible risks by sneaking into his neighbours  house and setting up booby traps. I think it is irresponsible because he could really hurt someone and could get into lots of trouble.
