Museum Trip - Mahara

What I did today at Auckland Museum Was the digital stuff like coding robots and also some other things like stop motion,  Virtual reality, tinkercad, the thing that I like the most was virtual reality. Because this activity requires a headset that you can put over your eyes and then you have these sticks that you hold and then you can draw whatever you want. 

what I have learnt during this trip to the museum was that new zealand  use to be called zelandia and then the country sunk and then very little mountains were the island and then volcano rose the island up out of the water. 

what I found challenging was writing down the answers for our quotations because we had to research through the volcano gallery.

Kiwi Sports - Mahara

On Monday we had boxing and it was cool becuase we had to learn the left and right hook and the 2 different uppercuts the is the one where you use you hand like a slench hammer, And another uppercut which give you more range between you and the person that you are fighting.

What I learnt was the combo when you have to do the jab, cross, left hook, right hook, left uppercut and right upper cut But I also found that really challenging. what My next steps in boxing will be to try to speed up my punching but also going 50% so nobody get hurt. What I enjoyed was the practice punching becuase I am learning new things and getting to do something I don't usually do often.

Tuakana Teina Day - Mahara

Tuakana teina day if you do not know what this is this is when you and your classroom buddy upo with a class from down stairs or from the junior syndicate. What we did for the first block is that we had to buddy up with an yonger student and then, We had sort of a clue finding game that we played and there was clues around the classroom and then we had find them and then right down the answer. My buddy was Prosyden

What I enjoyed about this day was that I got time to spend with the younger students and getting to know them more. What I would like to do next time with them is go and play an outside game with them more like Basketball or Tag.

WAL:New skills in boxing

For Kiwi Sport we have Boxing. This sport is fun but when you use these skills you must be careful because we did not want any injuries. This sport helps me to work physical health. We also learnt the three rules.

What I have enjoyed about this lesson was practicing punching and my boxing stance. what I have learnt from this lesson is to not go hard becuase will not want any injuries.  One other thing that I have learnt from this lesson is how to cross punch and a jab also known as the 1 and 2 when that are put together, I also learnt the rock this is a stance that know body can push you over, To do this stanc you need to bend your knees and put your fist by your cheeks this will help to block a punch.

How Do Tornadoes Happen - Mahara

IALT: Reflect on what I have research on about Tornadoes

Do you know how Tornadoes form. Well have you ever empty out a bathtub and seen a little whirlpools well that is called a vortex. Well tornados are made up of moist and dry cool air. when a tornado is forming it starts off as a thunder cloud. Then the cloud sucks huge amounts of air into the centre. Then creates a vortex then it spin faster and then hits the ground, And creates a tornado.

Then tornadoes are measured on a fujita scale Also known as the F scale. For example An F 0 tornado will spin as fast 40 to 72 Mph, As for a F5 will spin as fast as 261 Mph to 318 mph.

Well that is all for today but I hoped you have learnt about Tornadoes and how they happen.

P.E Reflection - Mahara

Today we had P.E session our teacher Miss Komor, And we also had a little fitness session we had to do some walking lunges. and we also had to shuffle to the side. then we had a game of golden child if you don't know what golden child is, It is a game where there a 2 equal teams and then you need to have a basketball and be on a basketball hoop.

Then to play the game you will have to shoot when someone say go then the person has to run. Then the other team has to shoot and once a person gets the ball in the hoop then the person has to stop.
