Hauora

For the past weeks we have been learning about what Hauora is and how it can relate to an athlete. I learnt that if one wall falls apart the whole house will fall apart which relates to an athlete. I also learnt that the 4 walls ( Whare tapa wha ) names are Taha Wairua, Taha Whanau, Taha Hinegnaro, Taha Tinana. Each of the walls stand for something which are Mental and emotional wellbeing, Physical well being, Social Wellbeing, and spiritual wellbeing. In this challenge we also did our pulse rate to see how many pulse rates we have in one minute.

Comparing My Photo

We have been learning about high jump. I learnt that we have to have bent knees and arm to legs. It was really hard to do a couple of things such as the toes pointed. We had to compare our photo with a athletics photo and to see what we have to practice on.

Warriors

Today we had a few visitors from the warriors team. Alice, Ryan Huffman, John Palavi and Georgia came to visit us we had so much fun. They introduced a few games. One game was about sleeping, health and well being, hydration and belonging. There were some people that got spot prizes. We got split in too 2 groups. Both groups got a chant, Ryans chant was Hoffer and John's was J.P. We all screamed our heart out so that we could answer the question. We all felt so competitive  . We all had great fun and  I hope they did too. Georgia was the host (She told us what to do) We loved having there entertainment because it was really fun and amazing. It was really fun and cool and I hope that they felt that it was cool for them too.  I hope they feel like they are welcomed. For belonging we had to answer which groups we belong in such as family, Sports teams and schools. 

Olympic Art

Yesterday we created a piece of art. Our challenge was to collaboratively work together. Our focus was on sportsmanship we had to help each other and make sure everyone knew what to do. We had to use our strength to help other that needed help. We had to use pastel, black PVA and athlete silhouettes.

Long Jump

We have been learning the qualities you need to know for long jump. We learnt that we need to have bent elbows, bent knees and jump off 1 heel and land on two feet. We also learnt that if we jump off one foot and land on too feet it feels like we don't go very far but in fact we go very far.

Olympic Venue

We have been learning to consider both sides of provocation so that we can have an informed opinion. Mrs Anderson asked us to think about the 2 sides of the argument. To make our informed opinion we had to give reasons why we say yes or why we say no. My DLO says that I picked that the money should be spend more wisely.

Writing

Today we were learning how to find the language features using the article that our teacher gave us. I worked collaboratively with my partner June. We understood that there were nouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives. We enjoyed working together. We have been trying to understand how other people write advertising so that when we are older we will be prepared to write a advertisement.
