Maths Lesson in Room 7

Today in room 7 with the left over students we had a fun maths. For this maths lesson with Miss Stone we did shapes. In shapes we had to make a 3D shape using a template we could color it if we wanted,  so I did. Anyways we made our shapes given and it turned out good. After exploring a world of colorful shapes we had a chance to make one of our own 3D shape out of a grid. I made a cube. We had to find out the volume of the shape we had made using the cubed grid. The final total of my volume was 3x8 which is 27.

I had great fun doing this math activity...

Cheers :) 

Problems in Rio

Kiwi Can Session

Today we had Kiwi Can with Mr Afutoto after morning tea. When we were inside we sat in four lines and we talked about our theme which is Resilience, resilience is coping with challenges and bouncing back and we also talked about goal setting. After that we got into groups and played limbo so our goal there was to see how many people can go under without falling. After that we talked more about setting goals so we got into groups of four and we wrote down our goal and how are we gonna achieve it.

For my goal I haven't figured out what I want to do but I know that I have to plan out before I go for it. We all had great fun in kiwi can and we learnt a lot about goals and resilience.

Volleyball lessons

During this term we have been taking volleyball lessons every Thursday mornings so today coach Toni from Auckland sport came and we did some awesome things.

We did more lessons on setting,digging and spiking in pairs of two. After that we did some challenges with serving from distance between the net by serving it to the other person to catch. Then we found 2 more people to be a team and we vs a different team at volleyball. Then we stood in a line and coach Toni slit us into teams and we played some games. After that the next class came for their session and it was time for us to go so that was upsetting by the main thing is we learnt how to play volleyball.

Kiwi Can

Today after morning tea we had kiwi can with Mr Afutoto because our normal kiwi can people are away. Today was kind of different from what we usually. First we talked to us about controlling our behaviour and one person talking at a time then for our energiser we played rock, paper, scissors but with a peg so if you lose to a person your peg get's taken of you so the point is to win lots of games to get the most pegs but if you have no more pegs you have to sit out so we played that for a couple of minutes.

Then all the boys had to sit down while the girls play for a minute and the one who has the most peg would vs one of the boys who has the most as well so the winner was me Melenaite vs Levi G and we had to 

play rock, paper, scissors best out of 3 and of course I won. Then after that we talked about our topic which is goal setting so we talked about what was our personal goals, then we talked about our theme which is resilience which means never giving up so we talked about that, then we did two rounds of GKQ.

Mr Afutoto was a awesome teacher today, he was funny, fun and awesome so all hope to see him next time but also see our normal kiwi can people back. At the end everyone was happy but sad because we had to leave but at the same time we all learnt something new.

    

Kiwi Sport - Volleyball

Today room 7 started the day with Volleyball for Kiwi Sport with coach Tony from Auckland Sport. With coach Tony she taught us the 2 ways to pass the ball to the other team and how to spike it, 1) Dig, 2) Set and Spike. After that we got into partners and one partner went to the other side of the net and then we practices to dig, set and spike to each other.

After practising our passes to each other coach Tony split us up into 4 teams to have a game so it was teams 1 vs team 2 and team 3 vs team 4, then it swap around team 2 vs team 4 and team 1 vs team 3. Everyone had fun playing volleyball and vs the other teams we also learnt how to pass and spike so when we vs a team in life we already know how to pass.

 

Netball

On Tuesday 2 August, the year 6 and 7&8 girls had a netball game around 4 and 5 pm at the AMI Netball Courts. The year 7&8 team versed another girls team from St Cuths, the game was challenging a bit for them but they just had fun and was happy. The girls were real happy when the game was finished because they were exhausted and hungry but they were really happy because they had won the points was 26 - 18. On the other hand the year 6 girls game was also challenging for them but the were also so happy because they also had won their game as well but at the same time everyone was tired and also hungry but happy because both teams won their game.

Current Even Quiz

For reading today my group did a weekly current event quiz about different kind of things with 20 questions. One of the questions that I was interested was Why has Commonwealth Games gold medallist and two-time Olympian, Moss Burmester, been in the news recently? my answer was Moss burmester has been on the news recently because he is against Russia being allowed to compete in the Rio olympics in the 200m butterfly swimmer. Another question I was interested was Which supermarket has annouced the closure of six of their New Zealand stores ? my answer was countdown because I read that Australasian has said that six of their countdown supermarkets in New Zealand will be closed. I was happy because both my answers were correct.
