HPE| Table Tennis

I learned balancing using Table Tennis.

I first learnt how to hold the bat. To hold the bat you need to put your had like your shooting and while your in the postion of shooting then you pretend that your shaking hands while holding the bat and being in the shooting postion.

Then I learnt how to bounce the ball on the bat. To bounce the ball on the bat you have to stay in a balanced position and bounce the ball we started using our forehand. My score was 7. Then we tried using our backhand.

Then I learnt how to bounce the ball while fliping the bat. I threw the ball a little high and then I bounced the ball on one side and fliped it and bounced it again mutiple times.

 Then I went in a line and particapated in a competition and I learnt the drop serve. A drop serve is a serve of when you bounce the ball on the table and then you hit the ball on the otherside of the tables using our backhand.

I like doing this activity because it helps me learn the sport of table tennis.

Maori Lesson

 I learned how to translate some names from Maori to english.

After I finshed my translating I made my own name but it has to be translated in to Te Reo.

After that Whaea Odie translated some people's names if they needed help.

For example Jacob Dororthy - Hakopa Tarati

I liked doing this activity because it helps me learn more names. 

Frisbee Technique | HPE

 I learned balancing when throwing and catching using frisbees.

My first actvity that I learned was throwing the frisbee to my partner.
This activity was hard for me because I don't know how to catch it.

My next activity was that I learnt about running and catching the frisbee.

This activty was a little bit hard because I just couldn't catch it and stop.

Then I played a game of frisbee I ran and then I missed the frisbee.
This game was hard because I hit my eye on the second round.

Then I played another game of frisbee and I was in the yellow team but the other team won.

This game was hard because I didn't concentrate on the game.

Te reo Lesson

We revised some previous questions from the past couple of weeks.


First, we revised maui, matau, and waenganui. Maui means left, matau means right, and waenganui means in the middle.

Next, we revised some questions. For example: "Kei hea te aporo? Kei roto i te peke." This means where is the apple, it is inside the bag.


These questions were easy because Whaea Odie told us the meaning in english.

Explanation Planner

 I learned how to use a Explanation Topic Planner.

 I first thought of what my topic was and it was how strawberries grow.

 These are the 3 mechanisims of how strawberries grow.

 The first mechanisim is the seed. 

 The cause is when the strawberry grows there are seeds for you to plant.

 And the effect is You need the seeds for it to grow a plant and strawberries.

Balancing Lesson

I learnt balancing by using tennis equippment.

First I balanced the tennis ball on the racket and walk around. 

Then I threw the ball at my partner and she hit it back.

Then Joe threw a ball and I hitted it with the racket.

I liked the activity because I learned to be more steadly and I learned how to hit on a tennis ball.

Bright Fine Gold

 The book Bright Fine Gold was about Gabriel Read finding gold and a gold rush happend in Central   Otago.        

 

Balance| HPE

 Today I balanced with eqiuppment.

I started playing egg and spoon. I balanced on one foot an|
 going all the way down while holding the spoon. This was fun for me because it was easy for me to balance and I got more balancing strength than last time.    

My next activity was volleyball a person had to dig the volleyball and the other person had to set. I liked this activity because I think I am really good at it and it is fun balancing.

Then I played soccer. I balanced the ball on my forehead and then I bounced the ball three times on my knee. This was hard becuase I couldn't balance it on my forehead and I counldn't kick it up my knee.

After that I played some tennis balls and rackets. I threw the ball to Melissa and she whacked it. Then it was my turn. I like this activity because it is really fun at balancing and it gets my balance more steadly.

Then it used hockeys sticks and hockey balls. I rolled the ball to Melissa and then Melissa whacked it softly and then I took my turn. This activity was hard becuase the ball keeps on rolling a different direction.
