BRAILLE

Kapa Haka

Every Friday this term the year 7&8 students attended Taonga time. Each teacher has a different passion for example my teacher is very passionate about Kapa Haka. If you don’t know what Taonga means it means treasure in Maori.


There are different Taonga time groups like Kapa Haka, Technology, Sports, Music,Team building, Art, ICT, Maori and Science. The group I am in is called Kapa Haka. If you don’t know what Kapa Haka is its something special to the Maori. What we do though this whole year is perform in the front of Pt England school and also in Museum.

I am very glad to be in the Kapa Haka group because I like to learn a little about Maori. I am enjoying Kapa Haka this year.

Net ball

After lunch time on Thursday room 22 went out on the courts to play netball. Emma is from the Auckland netball club, she was teaching us some skills.

What I learned from that day was how to chest pass to your friend. The other thing she taught us was when you’re receiving the ball you have to do ice cream. What ice cream means is when you do two steps. You should stop on your 2nd step then you will received the ball.

We had free time to play corner ball. How do you play corner ball? its similar to netball but you don't shoot the ball in the hoop. The team has each corner to try to score a goal. There are suppose to be only one person in each corner. I really liked my team because our team was fast and we had more boys then girls.

I really enjoyed learning how to play net ball I'm looking froward to learn some more skills next week on Thursday.

creativity

What creativity means is when you make something with your own hands. Room 22 was given a task how to present your name creatively. Creativity is a thinking skill.
This is my name that I created:

Term 1 reflection

Pleased: homework

The things I was pleased with last term was my homework .I was happy with my report because I received good results in my work habits, behaviour and academic progress .I felt really happy because I always completed in my homework and that’s why I’m proud of myself.

This term the subject I want to improve is my writing because I know I can do better but I need to focus more. I want to be a better writer.

My highlight for last term was my behaviour. I felt good about last term because I received good comments about my behaviour. But I’m not so happy with my work habits because I have trouble managing my time and focusing more on what I'm doing in class.

These are my results shown below:
