Games with minimal or no equipment.

In PE we have been participating in a variety of games that require little or no equipment.

Below is the Matrix which shows our progression in this unit of learning.

The table below shows my understanding of games with minimal or no equipment.

(Fill this table in, in as much detail as possible. )

Examples of Games that need minimal or no equipment.	What equipment would we usually need to play these games.	Why do we play games with minimal or no equipment?
Tag games French cricket octopus Indian tag Invisible touch touch	Bids ball cones	Because if you are playing with your friends and you need to play a game with no equipment then you can play one of these games

My Strengths.  

Some things that I have done well during this unit of learning are following instructions .because When I came to a teacher I listened to them and followed the instructions

My Next Steps.

Some things I could improve on when playing games with minimal or no equipment are Not to talk as much Because When I arrived to a game I sometimes talked to the person next to me and made comments.

Yesterday morning was so nerve raking, it was the day of run,bike,run and I was nervous. That morning when I got school it was all I could think about, while we were walking our bikes down to Westlake park I was telling Ashley how nervous I was. When we got to Westlake the first thing we did was go to the games the house captains were running, the year 7/8's got to play french cricket. But half way through the game my race got called over to start. While I was lining up to start I felt butterflies in my tummy. When we were all ready to start Mr Hillary said ready,set and GO! At that moment I ran, at the end of the first run I started the bike while I was doing the bike I felt free and it felt great. When I started the last run I ran for my life and at that moment when I was crossing the finish line I knew I had won and that I tried my best. About 30 minutes after I finished we had the prize giving and I went up and got my medal. When I got home I thought that I showed all the CARE values by getting involved and trying my best.

Today Riley and I had PALS. We were on Kauri this week and we didn't know what to play so we tried to think of a game, then Riley came up with the idea of french Cricket. We both got our vests on and went outside with the gear. When we got to the spot we were playing on I realized that I forgot the POZIS so I ran back inside and got them. The first thing we did was explain the rules to the people that were playing. After we told the rules and made sure everything was clear we started to play, some people in our game got a little carried away but we handled it, we handed out loads of POZIS. The game was going really good so Riley and I decided to keep it going.From then on it was good. After the game had finished Riley and I packed up, we put everything back where it was when we found it. Something that I would like to work on for next time is possibly having two games going at once because then one game won't be as crowded.

last week I had to wake up a 6:30 because I had a bike race on. I didn't know what I was getting myself into because I had never done it before. When I got to Mt Summers I found Amber, the first thing I did was get registered I was doing the 20km bike. A few minutes after I got registered the race started. It was quite a long       bike ride, when I had finished the race and the last person had       finished we all got told what are score was and what the time we did it in was. The race I was in was under 18 girls and in that category I came third, my time was 1 hour and 20 minutes and the fast's time in my race was 1 hour and 7 minutes. On the way back I was very proud of the way I showed Active thinking by problem solving when I felt like giving up.

For PALS today Riley and I were doing skipping. The first thing we did was get the skipping ropes from the P.E shed. While we were in the P.E shed we saw a bucket of skipping ropes so we took that down to the junior area. When we got to the spot we were playing in all the little kids came running. After we put the skipping ropes down we stared to play a game with the long shipping rope. Lots of the little kids came and joined the long rope. one girl got 58 skips, we gave her a POZI then we made a challenge that whoever could beat 58 skips would get 2 POZI'S. We gave everyone two goes to try and beat it, but nobody could. At the end Riley and I asked everyone to pack up most people did what we said, but we found it challenge because some people ran away or didn't give us the skipping ropes, some people didn't go to class ether. Once we got all the skipping ropes we went and put them away. Today I think that Riley and I did a really good job at being a PAL because we were joining in but not dominating and we were encouraging the kids to get involved.

Square numbers to 100 and their matching square roots.

In Maths we have been learning:

Square numbers to 100 and their matching square roots.

This is part of our basic facts knowledge.

It is important to just know these as we can use this knowledge in other areas of maths.

Here is a link to our online modelling book. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17SD7zVncdRF7T4ija5r9zjIzscQ2YDwF5Ysscej7Uik/edit

Here are the IXL screenshots that show evidence of my learning.  

My next learning step in Maths is to try and learn to recall square numbers to 100 and their matching square roots.

Band 

1.3.17

Today I woke up with excitement on my face. It was the day of band auditions and I had a practice before school with Mr McCallum. When I got to school it was half past eight, I went into the radio room and when I got there I found Ashley there. Ashley and I were auditioning together, the song we were doing was Budapest. The first thing we practiced was the song Mr McCallum singing for us. Secondly we did the song again but we only did it down to the chorus.lastly we did the song without anyone singing, it sounded really good. Our audition was at lunch time when lunch time came Ashley and I went over to Mr Rules room we were the first to audition as Ashley had library on after. We played Budapest for Mr Rule then we talked about how we did we both thought we did well. I am very proud of myself because I think that I showed community during this because Mr Rule wanted some seniors in his band so I decided to give it a go for our school.
