Cross country.

          WOW today was the day we had our School fun run as you can see I was running up a hill with my                friend Honey. I really tried my best today. Even though I did not place anywhere I think that If i          didn't worry about being the last one at the beginning instead of at the end. NO I did not place anywhere                     but I still made it though I slipped. In the end I was still proud of myself.

Basket ball

                       
                                                                        Basket ball
     

                                                                 

 This is Room 14 at basketball well we were just doing a team cheer.

Our coaches names are Coach Mark and coach Adrian

But let me start at the beginning.

So I missed the first week of basketball but I went the second week and it was pretty fun our skill for that week was control because if you don't have control the the other team can get the ball and goal.

So first we had to do warm ups.

Here is us doing a 1 of our warm ups that we had to do.

We had to pass the basketball around our heads then bounce the ball to the end meaning behind the cone then run and bounce the basketball all the way back also behind the cone then give the basketball to the next person and we had to do that until everybody had a turn.

                                             This is when we were getting ready practising how
                               to bounce the ball without looking at the ground and looking ahead.

                       
                                                                     The third week

                   The third week of basket ball our key word was communication because we were learning                           how to pass the ball properly  in three different ways. The first one pass we learnt was the chest                      pass so basicly we had to hold the ball to our chest so our arms are straight while aiming to the                                                                    other persons chest.
 
                                                                                   

                                                                                   

Here is coach mark and coach Adrienne showing us how to step and put your hands 

in a certain position after you have cached the ball.

Here are some photos of room 14 shooting the ball in to the basketball hoop.

Up above here is Vini about to shoot. One of the important things we learnt when shooting

is obviously how to shoot properly not to the wall  not to the person behind you to the hoop.

So I am going to say one unusual word BEEF now beef stands for Balance so you don't shoot the ball at the wall, Eyes so you know where your throwing the ball,Elbows if your elbow was facing your teacher then when you aim the ball to the hoop instead of the hoop it might not exactly go to your teacher but it could hit somebody else or another wall nearby or it could hit your teacher,follow through so your basicly flicking the ball into the direction you want it to go so you get a perfect shot.

Hope  you enjoyed my post about my experience with learning different skill of basketball.

Learning about Hearing

                                                                               



                                                 Room Fourteen Learning about hearing.

                                                 
                 A big group of  Lynfield collage teenagers came to our school to teach different classes                                  about hearing and what you can do to to help yourself from getting bad hearing loss.
                              Now I am going to tell you a bit of a recap of what I learnt.

 First of all you know how we have the unite of measure for meters well sound also has a unite of measure
              now when these girls asked that question a phew people said " is it Volume" well your wrong the              unite of   measure for sound is called Decibels the limit for decibels is  the number 85 higher than that                                           number that  means it is too loud. Any lower is safe.

                                 

Another thing that I learnt was that everything is made up of molecules so when we did an  experiment with some string a ping pong ball  and a scientific tool we used it to make the vibrations so when we banged the tool on the table when it was vibrating then stayed still while the ping pong ball was discharging from the tool.

                                       There were three main things that we all learnt that was
                                         if your music in your car is too loud Turn it down
                                        If someone has a loud siren or is playing music near you an you think
                                        it is too loud. Walk away Now the last one is using PROTECTION. Now with                                             me personally I think that is the most important. Because having hearing loss
                                        is not cool so if you have parents or if you have a dad that works around big                                               machines and its really loud you can not only buy ear plugs for yourself to keep                                              you safe but also for  your parents or anyone else who needs them.

                                         This is us playing a game about what it sounds like when
                       you have good hearing and what it sounds like when you do have hearing loss.

Here is us when we got picked to stand up and hold these cards that pitchers of things that may be safe or unsafe for your hearing. Did you know that the most dangerous thing that would be to loud for your ears would be and rocket launching.That would be 165 decibels but the limit is 85 so even if you listen to it for at least 5 seconds you could get really bad ear damage.

                            This is Hannah and Zainab holding a sound o meter to see if walking a
                           step a way form loud sound will make a difference to your hearing.

                           

Maths game "Place value war"

                                                                       
       
                                                             
         
             
                                                                 Place value war

                                     

Danae,Brian,Ezekiel,Monasinah and Caysal are  playing cards.

First you need at least 2 or more people to play this game.

Secondly Deal out the cards evenly between group so they all have about 6 to 8 cards each.

Thirdly  take 2 cards on the top of your deck and flip them over remembering to not look at them.Looking at other opponents card whoever has the highest cards wins.

e.g  When you flip over 1 card and say is the number 9 that represents the tens column. Then when you flip over the second card and say it is a 1 that wil represent the ones column. 

  The person that has 91 as there number wins for that is the highest number

Then we keep playing until somebody in your team has got everybody's cards.

This is when it was my turn to say what number I had.

This was when Our new student Brian was just 

about to flip his cards and say what number he had.

We had fun playing that game is was a change.

Hi again This is another fun blog post that I am putting up for all of you to see.This was a fun change from doing work in books and on sites ,we got to play with cards.This was helping us with our place value and there is a demonstration on how we played the game.Hop you enjoy.See you later.

Samoan language week.

                                                                        Welcome to
                                                                           Samoa

Talofa lava o lou ingoa o Danae. Hi my name is Danae  2 weeks ago we had the most exciting fun hard-working week.SAMOAN LANGUAGE WEEK. If you want to read more on what we did keep reading.

On Monday our first activity we got to do was teach kids about the yummy samoan (mea ai food) that we eat in Samoa.

This was one of our 4 different foods that we were talking about that day.So in this photo is Mamere and Sili are showing Rm 14 kids how to make Samoan coco and how it is transformed into a hot drink which is one of my mums favorite hot Samoan beverage to drink. Hmm yummy.

Here is another Samoan food/drink that a lot of Samoans drink and eat.

This is called the coconut also known in Samoa Po Po now a lot of other pacific islands have coconut trees ans Samoa is one of them so as you can see. Komiti (James) is taking out he  coconut/Po Po out of its shell into a bowl.Which he will use to make coconut cream but he will squeeze it fist to get the juice.

Now here is Harriet and Sherona talking about the precious valuable jewelry that Samoan people make just out of coconut,carving knives, metal pieces, and paint.There are also fans made out of old flax and raffia, and sometimes paint,colored die ,feathers,shells.

In this photo  as you can see we had our Samoan

assembly and we were getting ready to dance.

After our assembly we ate ALLOT of food and we also got Chopsuey and rice.

Then we went out to play then we sang songs and laughed and went home early from along week of fun.
