Teaching the juniors in Bishop class

Ola bloggers and welcome back to week two!

Today my class and I worked alongside Bishop class (Year 2/3) as part of a Tuakana/Teina session.

Tuakana means the older people and the leaders and Teina means the little kid and younger brothers and sisters

First we discussed how to be effective Tuakana. I learned that I have to help the younger kids to understand what to do and and be the model for them and make them do the right thing.

The biggest challenge I came across was that they wouldn't understand me and get confused. Another thing is that they wouldn't want to write or do anything and don't have any ideas.

Next week I am looking forward to them having plenty of ideas and that they have learned a lot and know how to use stop go animation.

MERC 2017 camp

Hi bloggers today i am going to be talking about the day that i went camp.

Last Wednesday we had to go to MERC for our camp. The first thing we did  when we got there we had to put our bags and suit cases in the hall. The first activate we did was when you have to  hold a side of the rope and pull it back so that someone can walk on the rope and go all the way around to where they started and i had to go first. .My favorite activate was sailing because you got to go on a boat and sail to the middle of the ocean but while you were sailing you have to take water out of the boat each time water will go in the boat also some one had to sear the boat at the back of the boat there was this metal stick that you have to hold and control the boat. Also someone has to pull the rope that is tied to the boat's flag so that the flag doesn't flap around or go anywhere. And the end of the day my group did stack ems what stack ems is you have to be tied to a rope and you have to wear a helmet, and a suit so the rope can get attached. At stack ems we have to stack as meany small rectangle chairs until you stacked all the chairs up. My high score was 6 so there we go bloggers hope you liked this blog post and i will see you next time.

Kia toa performance

Bonjour and welcome back to my blog

Today at 9:00 we went to the hall because we had a special treat and his name is Bernard Mangakahia. He came to perform and tell us story's. One thing i found interesting, was that his grate grandma stood up and had a conversation with all the men and  told them that the women and the girls have a right to do anything they want. Today i was lucky enough to see Bernard Mangakahia perform for our school. His show was exhilarating and amazing because he did lots of dances and hand clap  beats. One way you can show resilient is to never give up and keep trying even if you think you can't do it. Another thing i found interesting was that  Bernard Mangakahia dad went to the new Zealand army and survived. 

Thank you for reading my blog post. Fell free to comment and share your stories of resilient with me.

Starting term two with a roll

konnichiwa and welcome back to term two.

Today at 10:20 we went outside for skateboarding. The first thing we did was sit in a semi circle. Then  the coach told us to get the equipment and sit back down.

 The first thing we put on was our knee pads. You have to take the straps of then put it on you nee and put the straps back on. The second thing we put on was our  elbow pads the elbow pads where distracting because every time we took of  our straps the Velcro was  really loud. Then we had to put on our wrist guards it was kind of tricky because  we have to put our thumb on then flip the wrist guard around. Then last but not least was the helmet ,We had to but it on our head. Then Aidan and Mikayla will come around and help us clip the strap.

 After that  we grabbed a skateboard after that you have two put one foot on two needle then we did 4 round of skateboarding but with on foot. At the end it was time to pack up so we took of our helmet then we took of our wrist guards and put it on the helmet. After that i took of my nee pad and wrap it around with the strap then we put it in a big box with all the other equipment. When we finished packing up we had to say good by to  Aidan and Mikayla.  then after we said good bye.
