Thinking Hat


1) Yellow hat.

The Yellow Hat means What did I enjoy this term.
What I enjoy this term is having a netbook, because it is more easier than a paper and pencil and because it faster.


2) Black Hat.

The Black means what things I didn’t like this term.

I didn’t enjoy not knowing my fraction’s. I did think it was enough but I wanted to learn more.

3) White Hat.

The white hat means What did I learn.

I learnt how to work new things on my netbook because it is new and people sometimes don’t know how to work new things. What I learnt how to do on my netbook is to change my backround.


4) Red Hat.

The red hat means How did I feel about my term overall.

What I felt about my term overall is that I have a great time with my class mates you know why is because they are kind to me and they share games with me and helps me.


5) Green Hat.

The green hat stands for what did I find most Interesting

I had find out that there are a ten in a ten that makes a whole. I like fractions. It helps me learn.


6) Blue Hat

The Blue hat means What could I have done better to help my learning

I could have done better at my Fractions. I could have done better on Aussie rules why because I did not know how to do a droppant and a drop pant is a kick.

Aussie Rules



On a cold and blustery Thursday, we played Aussie Rules. Our instructors were Megan and Allysa. So if you want to play Aussie Rules you should go and see Allysa and Megan.

What I found out was that New Zealand has 4 different seasons, and they are, Autumn, spring, Winter, and summer, and that happened all on Thursday afternoon. That’s fantastic. New Zealand is the only country that’s has 4 different seasons in a day. New Zealand is a special country!!!!

When room 13 got there, we had to wait for room 19. Finally they came. Before we could start we had to do a bit of a warm up, but the warm up had no name, so we called our warm up Bumper Jumper. Megan and Allysa gave us a demonstration of what we had to do.
Our first task was to find a partner. Firstly we had to hop on one leg and try bump your buddies foot to make them touch the ground, and if you made them fall that’s a point for you.

Our skill that we were practising was bouncing the ball. We started on our knees at first and then stood up and bounce the ball and finally while running. I now know how to bounce a rugby ball. I thought it was fun.

Base ball is a well known game. Well room 13 and room 19 were playing a game that is slightly like base ball. We had to kick the ball and then Alysa will give you another Aussie Rules Rugby ball so you can run with, but before you get to the first base, you need to bounce the ball, and you need to do that at every single base without stopping on any of them.

We had a great time at Aussie Rules I guess it’s not too bad after all!!!

Ma 'a Nonu







Ma ‘a Nonu
Down the field a cunning plan was placed in the hands of the opposition. The great idea was to tackle Ma ‘a Nonu. Slipping out of the tackle, a bullet pass was thrown to Nonu and score a diving try while waving his hands in triumph. Celebraton was brought to town after the game was won!

Jandals






JANDELS
In New Zealand many people wear jandels in summer, because it is hot. In Australia people call them flip flops. Flip flops is another way of calling them jandels. The reason why people wear Jandels is because sneakers a really hot to wear. So they have to take off their shoes, and that is anoying. That’s why we have Jandels. So in summer people will put on their Jandels, and have nice cool feet.

Badminton


For our third week of playing Badminton Donna was our teacher for the day. Donna was demonstrating what we needed to do, on our backhand and forehand. When Donna finished we went off and tried to do it ourselves. It was tricky, because it was hard serving the shuttle. We were getting frustrated, because when our class mates would serve they would miss. We had to swing it directly at them.


As soon as Donna was ready, we would be ready to play Badminton soccer. It was quite fun. We would laugh and and jump around, it was funny. We hit the shuttles powerfully, and used team work. Sometimes it would feel kind of awkward. Otherwise we enjoyed ourselves.

Our whole class played a game of badminton. There was one side of boys and one side of girls. In the girls team, some girls could not serve properly so Donna had to show them how to serve. We had to learn how to hit safe with a racket. When we were playing badminton we had to do quick body movements.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT BADMINTON!!!!!!!!!!

William Webb Ellis


From 1750, Rugby school played football where handling of the ball was permitted, however they were not allowed to run with it. There was no fixed limit of players, any number of players were allowed to play on the field, even hundreds. This caused major injuries.

William Webb Ellis ran with the ball in 1823. And by 1845 the first set of rules were written for the new game.
