Blackout Day

Today at Pt England School we had to dress in black for our team, New Zealand. So here is our students from the senior block dressed in black.

Our school champions.

Last week, our 7s rugby team went to an Aims Tournament to verse other rugby teams from different schools. When they came back from the Aims Tournament we were loud and proud of our boys for doing their best and becoming champions. the team brought back several medals and the Aims Cup.

Mr Burt held an assembly for welcoming them back. Most of all whats more important for them is just to have fun, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. (that goes out to viewers who plays rugby)

Once again nice going guys!

My Multiple Intelligence Test.

Our Class had sat a M.I (Multiple Intelligence) Test. A Multiple Intellingence Test is a list of things of your strengths and your weakness's.

Here is my M.I results of my strengths and my weakness's.

The intelligence I would work on are Naturalistic and Verbal Linguistic

Badminton

On the 4th of August 2011 us students from Room 22 had a game session after our Friday assembly.

Once we headed out to badminton was we had to sit down and hear the coach introducing herself and some things we knew about her was her name was Laureen and plays in the Auckland badminton club. once she was finished being introduced to us we were all ready to play our first activity and that was: control the shuttle.

What we done to control the shuttle was to focus on the shuttle by hitting it softly with the racket and for the shuttle to not land on the floor.

The second activity we had done was to hit the shuffle into the bucket. It was kind of difficult to hit it in but it was worth a try. On that same activity Laureen told us that it was a competition between the half of the circle we made. The competition that was done for us was we had to see how much people on the half of the side or our side to hit as many shuffles into the bucket so we counted by shouting/yelling out how many they got in.

The next activity was we had to grab a partner,a cone, a shuffle and a racket. My partner had to grab the cone and the shuffle and well i had to grab the racket. What our partner had to do with the shuffle and cone was he/she had to throw the shuffle and aim for the person holding the racket for it to hit it and for the partner holding the cone to catch the shuffle into the cone.

And finally the last activity for our Friday morning. In our partners we needed two rackets for my partner and me and one shuttle. This last activity we had done was slightly like our other last session but without a cone. The simplest thing we had to do was I had to throw the shuttle to the other partner and my partner had to hit it under her legs.

It was really good to know about some sport i haven't even done.
Thank you Laureen.

My highlight for this term

My highlight for this term was making prototypes for the senior block design process, plus working hard at making my writing make sence. Another thing that reminded me of is learning my mihi mihi from a task that was given to our students in Room 22 to re read it for in the mornings. I would hope to work on at getting good marks for my report next term.

Emilee the design process for designing furniture for the street.

In this session the whole senior block had found a solution to make our street more interesting so...... this is what we came up with, an idea to add furniture to the street so visitors or other members would see our wonderful street looking funky.

The first step we had to do on our design process was to identify a need. What our class had identified was that some students were’nt respecting the street so on the net we had to research a furniture that everyone would enjoy.

The next step after finishing research was to generate ideas. What we had generated was to modify the nets design to make it our own. Once we had rearranged the design was we had to find a solution to how it can be made and what it will be made out of.

When we had finished finding a solution the next step was to reflect on our own design. What we done for reflect was to make a prototype of our design to see what it would look like.

And finally the last step on our cycle,Evaluate,what we have to do for evaluate was to asses on how did i/we do from the past couple of weeks we’ve been doing on this interesting task.
