P.E Blog Post

Hello fellow readers today I will be blogging about physical education class. This week for P.E we have been choosing a sport to learn about my group is Sticky Rice.
We chose to learn about the sport Softball, Softball is very complex. Our team is going okay at the moment. Something that has challenged me this week is finding the rules you need to play softball, also remembering those rules.
I think that my team works well together and there communication comes easily.
Something that I enjoy about P.E is that it gets your heart beating and I get very happy because I love physical activities.

Today for P.E we were practising our drills and warm ups that we had written down on a template that we share with our group.

Some of our warm ups were:
- Star Jumps
- Lunges
- Running on the stop etc

What we did for our drill was we passed and caught the ball to help improve our passing and catching so we can get better to help us with the passing and catching part in softball.

I found we did this very well.

Thank You for treading this blogpost :)

How does learning impact the community.

It helps us to share our opinions and it impacts our community by ...
It can help us to share our learning so others can gain information on a certain subject to help improve theirs.
Also to help them learn about things that happen in your school that they don't do in theirs.

To The All Blacks

To all who love the All Blacks this video was to help support the All Blacks when they play for the world cup we did this as a task for C.I.P ..........WE LOVE THE ALL BLACKS!!!!!

Manaakitanga Film

Hola bloggers and welcome back to another blog post for today's blog post we are going to be talking about Me Kya and Meleana's manaakitanga film.
For the past term we have been having art as a subject, for art we have been making manaakitanga films the mini movie had to be at least 30 seconds long, for our film we decided to go off and be different with our theme and instead we decided to base our manaakitanga film on my animation slide show called cool to be kind.(also on my blog)
In order to make this film we had to create our drawings go onto stop motion and capture these drawings then we had to go onto screencastify and do a voice over for our stop motion video.

Here is our film.....

What They Do For Us

Hello Readers today we will be talking about Kids Can and what they do to help New Zealand our task for today was making a D.L.O about what Kids Can does for us since we are donating the money to them from 8 August mufti day so we are writing a post about what they are going to do with the money.

This is the poster that I made giving the information about  Kids Can ........

Radical Rainbow ( Mufti Day )

Hello Fellow Readers and welcome to another blog post about C.I.P for C.I.P last week we planned out a mufti day, to plan out this mufti day we got given a piece of paper and on this piece of paper we had to write as many mufti ideas we possibly could. After this we had to sit on the mat and share ideas with the class. Once we had done this we voted on which mufti theme we wanted... Nearly all of us chose radical rainbow which is how we chose the theme.
Finally we were given a piece of paper with some writing on it and we had to decorate the piece of paper with colours and information, the things that we had to include in this poster were a gold coin donation for kids can and what day it was happening. Something that will make a mufti day successful is heaps of planning and plenty of information given to the students about the mufti day. This is spreading kindness to our community by giving them smiles because who doesn't smile when you see a rainbow. :) (=>.<=)



... This is the poster that I created...

This is my poster  for this I may have gone a bit too far with the drawings but I wanted to make the poster more interesting I hope you enjoyed looking at my poster have a lovely day :)

What is a carbon footprint?

What is your Carbon Footprint?

Carbon Footprint Calculator

You are now going to look at your own carbon footprint by taking a questionnaire. Remember to 'Add details to improve accuracy'.

Based on the questionnaire what is your:

1. Ecological Footprint

2. Carbon Footprint

How many planets did you have?

2.8 planets
