A new sport. (Badminton)

Last week for the first time in room 22 we went to a little session with a lady named Laureen, she was from Auckland Badminton Club, she was a couch I knew that because she was wearing a Badminton Couch Jacket.


The first thing she was teaching us to do was to have control over the Shuttle ( the white thing used in badminton) and have control over the racket, she told us to don’t look down because it would lose our concentration, so I looked down and I lost my concentration, but it took a while of getting used to hitting it up and down gently.

My favourite activity was the 2ND because you had to hit the shuttle with your racket and your with you partner my partner was Lesley, She had to hold the cone and gently pass me the shuttle and I had to hit it gently and Lesley had to try and catch it in the cone that we got given to each partnership.

It was really fun Badminton because it was really different playing a new sport that I had never tried before.

Samoa

The Monday that has just gone by our school started again after our two week holidays. We missed out on a immersion Assembly because we had to go to Technology so after morning tea we had a Yr 7 & 8 assembly and the teachers told us our new topic for the term it is 'Keep our eye on the ball' its related to the Rugby World Cup.

Design Process Writing.

Just a couple of weeks ago Ms Tito gave us a interesting task to identify a need or a problem our problem was that know one respected our place (the street) so our class said that we needed some furniture.

Once we found a need, we needed to research for a idea Teari and I wanted to look for shelving we found a really cool idea but then we had to make it original we also had to research attributes. The attributes our class found was Safe? Practical? Creative/Innovative.

After we researched the next step was to Generate Ideas Teari and I had allot of great idea’s but they where not that creative.

Our group had to discover some solution's to fix our problem witch was our shelf was not creative so we looked around our class and got inspired from the literacy wall with the ‘A+’ we had to get the dimensions for our shelf to so we could make our prototype.

In our design I think we could be better by us managing our time better and stay on task. I think next time we get given a project like this I have to manage my time better and stay on task so our project I can strive to succeed.

Rugby League Session

A couple of weeks ago Room 22 had a rugby league session with one of the Vodafone Junior Warriors. Our tutor was Sio Siua Taukeiaho.

Science Roadshow

Last week on Thursday the year 7 & 8 students at Pt England School, had to pay $7 to go to the science roadshow at Tamaki College. We all walked down class by class because we had different times to the roadshow because it is apart of our topic for the term. ( bigger, better, stronger and faster).

Before we left Ms Tito put us in to groups of 4 to 6 I was in a group of 4 others Vaha, Ilalio, Rose and Micheal. Vaha was the leader of the group. Ms T gave us a work sheet per each group and she gave some groups a camera to take videos or pictures, I was given a flip camera to get some videos of the exhibit that our was looking at but only Vaha and I did the work and all the rest of the group went and played on the hands on exhibits.

The exhibit the me and Vaha where looking at was Heat. It was good to learn about heat because it showed us what material out of Metal, Foam and sheep sheep Skin would contain the most heat in your house we had to feel the materials the metal one was cold the foam was a bit warmer but the sheep skin one was the warmest.

Before the show ended me and Vaha had aproxxmitly 10 minutes to go and look at the other exhibits we looked at sound. I played on the Theromen and the sound organ. Out of the two sounds instruments that I looked at my favourite one was the sound organ, to work it I had to put my hands in the gap and when it scened a movement it would play the tune and the light would come on.

Personally to me the Science Road show was a great experience, but it was a bit boring because my group left Vaha and I to do all the work so I did’nt get to see much of the roadshow. But with the little things I got to look at and learn about I rate the roadshow 8.5 out of 10.
