For topic each week we get into groups and complete challenges. We always have the same groups and I am with Krystal, Tui, Grace, Jimi, and Leo. This week, along with two other activities, we had art smart. In art smart, we had to individually take photos that involved water in some way.
Here are some of the photos that I took.
Would you like to do an activity like this?
Over the first week of term two, my class and I have been learning how to play hand ball. It's a mix of basket ball and netball that my teacher, Nic, created. Some of the basic rules in handball is that we can bounce the ball, but only three times before passing to another player. If you don't pass within three seconds, then it's the other teams ball. Like in netball, you can't be in the another players 'bubble' so you have to be a meter away at all times.
Today I played as a 'centre', so it was my job to move around the other team's players, so my team could pass to me before I passed to another player, like the 'goal attack' so they could shoot. There was also boundaries for each player, as a centre, I was allowed to run anywhere on the court apart from in the goal circles.
Does handball sound like a fun game for your class or friends?
Maybe you could give it a go!
This term I would like to have my main focus on maths, as it is my weakest subject. So far I can recall almost all of my time tables from 1-11s, so my aim for this term could be to learn the twelve and thirteen time tables and be able to recollect within three seconds, as the rule goes.
I would also like to learn new sports skills, my main sports have always been equestrian (at home) and club hockey. At school each term we usually have a new sport that many of us do not know how to play so we all get a chance to develop a new capability. For example, last term we played softball, and throughout the year before, we played volleyball, rippa rugby, and basket ball. I hope you enjoyed this blog post about my goals for this term.
Do YOU have some goals?
