return of the moa journal reflection.

 

sailing experience

Yesterday on the  22 march 2021 the year 7 and 8s went to Taipa sailing club to go out and learn how to sail in the open ocean. we got on the bus and started to head out to Taipa. we arrived and went to go sit in the shade while the instructors told us what we were doing.

We split up into two groups and the first group done sailing and the second group was doing the three activitys that we were assigned to rotate on, the three activitys were making different types of knots, the next one was trying to make a rope pull up 12 kgs and trying to lift it up with things that lift the sail on a sailing boat and the last activity was too make a boat out of tinfoil and see how much pebbles it could hold without sinking.

When we were ready to go out to sail in the deep ocean we got in our boats with our partners (I was with Sofia) we all got in a line of boats and got tied up to the instructors boat to get towed out to sea. when we got out we had to follow were the instructors boat was going on our own. at first I was the one controling the ruter and my partner Sofia was doing the sail. we got to capsize our own boat and jump out, we had to sail around and grab as much balls in the ocean as we could and who ever got the most balls won.

THE END.

Goal setting term 1.

1. I will not complain to my parents by not talking back and to listen straight away.

2. I will get better in division by practicing how to solve it or to remember the answers and to work more on it.

3. I want to read more out of school by that I will need to get more big books with more efficient words.

4. I will focus on getting my maths level higher in  my grades and go out of my comfort zone in equasions.

How will I achieve my goals: by actually standing by my goals and actually do them or try to achieve them.

Blog post data.

 Today we had Manaiaklani we done a blog post analysis. we had to get a Google form and add the amount of posts we done each month. then it came up with a bar graph.

reflection: 

what did I enjoy? I enjoyed seeing how much blogs I done.

QUESTION? how many blogs have you done this year?

Aroha island camp reflection.

Last week Tui and Kereru had our end of year camp. We did many cool activity's like Kiwi searching, kayaking and hiking. It was very fun and while we were doing the hiking we were lucky to find a bridge going straight on top of the water and it looks like your walking on water. This was fun because it was kind of like a sleepover with all of your friends. we done all of this to show people that the world is worthy of our help.

Maitai bay brochure.

I.A.L.T upload on our Maitai Bay brochure.

Last week we have been doing a brochure on Maitai Bay. We had to include information about the rahui and what activities you can do there, we also had to include pictures that have something to do with the topic(Like how there is a question that says where is Maitai Bay I put a picture of where it is on the map.

Reflection:

What did I learn? that Maitai bay is a protected Marine reserve.

What did I find challenging? I found that describing my questions in a way that other people can understand but still trying to add descriptive words.

What could I improve on? I think that I can improve on adding more description.

Question: have you ever been to Maitai bay.

Kiwi can.

W.A.L.T upload and post about what we learnt in Kiwi can today.

 Today we had Kiwi we learnt all about respect, we done 3 games first we done a game called snap, crackle and pop, to play this game you get into a group of three and pick who's snap who's crackle and who's pop, when your done that than sit in a big circle with the rest of the class, when someone says either one of the words and your the one that they say you have to run around the circle and your team mates have to hold each other's legs like a bridge so you can go through and there is something in the middle and the first one to grab it wins and you have to count up your points. The next game was called so, ma, ca, lo, this game is when you sit in a circle and you put your hands out and one of your hands is infront of the persons hand and your other hand is behind the other person next to you, you sing the so, ma, ca, lo song and at the end it sings 1-10 and the person on nine has to clap number tens hand and if they clap them self there out and if nine claps tens hand the person on ten loses. the last game was GKQ this is just when your in a circle and you go around the circle and do a quiz.

REFLECTION:

How did I show respect today?

I think I showed respect by treating people the way I want to be treated.

What did I enjoy:

I enjoyed learning respect through the games and other activitys.

What could I improve on?

I think I could improve on being faster to respond to do something.

QUESTION: have you ever played any of these games?
