Volleyball

I am learning to reflect about Volleyball.

Today for volleyball we shuffled around the hole rectangle. After that we went and lined up next to the fence and waited for the next instructions. We got divided into six teams and 3 went in the front and the other 3 went in the back. Ms Komor asked them if they are ready and they said yes then when Ms Komor served it to them none of them went so then Ms Komor told them what to when the ball is coming to them.

I learnt 2 new things for Volleyball and they were how to hit the ball, and were you serve the ball.What I need to work on next time is controlling the ball. What I found challenging was serving the ball because when I served it, it never went past the net.

Two stabbed in Panmure fight

I am learning to reflect about what happened in Panmure on Tripoli Rd.

Today I wrote about and article that happened in Panmure on Tripoli Rd. Here is my work that I did.

What I found challenging was getting information about what happened. What I need to work on next time is getting more information about what happened. What I think my classmates needs to work on is not talking because whenever he talks he doesn't finish his work.

KiwiSport

I am learning to reflect about what we did at KiwiSport.


Today was our last day doing Tennis with our coach Peter.. For tennis we played singles. What we did was play 1v1 against each other. My team was Tevita, Aumau, And Me. We versed Akanesi, Aletheia, and Teresa. Our team won we had 68 and the other team had 62. I feel great about this weeks Kiwisport because I learnt most of the rules for tennis and I also learnt how to control the ball when I serve it.

The parts that I liked for this weeks Kiwisport was winning against the girls and getting to play with my teammates. I think that the thing I need to work on more is batting the ball softly because whenever I batted the ball it wall go out.

Writing

I am learning about Figurative language.

Today I learnt more about Figurative language. The figurative languages we learnt today was Alliteration and hyperbole.

There was 12 examples for both figurative languages and they were:

Hyperbole

  • I am so hungry I could eat a horse.
  • I had a ton of chores to do.
  • If I can't get a Smartphone, I will die.
  • This car goes faster than the speed of light.
  • Our new house cost a bazillion dollars.
  • He's got tons of video games.
  • My mom is going to kill me.
  • He knows everything about maths.
  • I have told you a million time not to do that.
  • That was the easiest test in the world.
  • It will only take 2 seconds to get there.
And for Alliteration there was:
  • Alice's aunt ate apples and acorns around August.
  • Becky's beagle barked and bayed, becoming bothersome for Billy.
  • Carrie's cat cawled her couch, creating chaos.
  • Dan's dog dove deep in the dam, drinking dirty water as he dove.
  • Eric's eagle eats eggs, enjoying each episode of eating.
  • Fred's friends fried Fritos for Friday's food.
  • Garry's giraffe gobbled gooseberries greedily, getting food at grabbing goodies.
  • Hannah's home has heat, hopefully.
  • Isaac's ice cream is interesting and Isaac is imbibing it.
  • Jesse's jaguar is jumping and jiggling jauntily.
  • Kim's kids kept kicking.
  • Larry's lizard likes leaping leopards.
  • Mike's microphone made much music.
  • Nick's nephew needed new notebooks now.

At the end of all of that we had to answer a question which was about how we would define the figurative language. The definition about hyperbole was exaggeration that is unlikely to be true. The definition for alliteration that I came up with was repeating the first letter for most of the words.

Tai Chi and Kung Fu (Lesson #4)

I am learning to reflect about Tai Chi and Kung Fu.

Today we had Tai Chi and Kung Fu. For Tai Chi and Kung Fu we learnt the same stunts from last week. We sat in a semi circle and told everyone our names, Positive comment, Negative comment, and a random act of kindness we did. I said "Hi my name is Toma, My positive comment was going to the polyfest 2018. My negative comment is my nephew was in hospital and my random act of kindness is buying my family food to eat.

 The power word for this week was accuracy. I think that we all need accuracy with our maths because maths is a very important subject in our life because we need it for our jobs. Something that I learnt about myself during this lesson was that I couldn't balance myself properly. What I learnt about others during this lesson was that everyone was putting a lot of effort into what they were doing except for one person. 

Mr Gordon our teacher for Tai Chi and Kung Fu made us play a game. The game was there would be one catcher and the rest of the team would have to take a turn throwing a frisbee and if the catcher catches it and then her throws it back and you catch it then that's one point for your team.

What I found challenging was trying to balance and put my knee up high because when I did that I kept on leaning to one side and I kept on falling.A feedback I can give myself about this lesson is help my classmates outs and a feedforward I can give about myself today is I did put lots of effort into doing the stunts.

Writing

I am learning about the meaning of 2 language features.

Today after morning tea we had writing. For writing we learnt about 2 language features which are personification and onomatopoeia.

There was 12 examples for onomatopoeia and they were

  • Arf
  • Baa
  • Bow-wow
  • Buzz
  • Cackle
  • Caw
  • Chatter
  • Cheep
  • Chirp
  • Cluck
And there was also 12 examples for personification and they were
  • Lightning danced across the sky.
  • The wind howled in the night.
  • The car complained as the key was turned.
  • Rita heard the last piece of pie calling her name.
  • My alarm clock yells at me every morning.
  • The avalanche devoured anything standing in its way.
  • Traffic slowed to a crawl.
  • The door protested as it opened slowly.
  • My house is a friend who protects me.
  • The moon played hide and seek with the clouds.
At the end of all of the examples there was a question that says how would YOU define what these language features mean. My answer for Personification was Describing something that's not alive and comparing it with something that is alive. The real meaning was giving human qualities to non-human things.My answer for Onomatopoeia was using sound effects to describe actions. The meaning was to create sound with words.

What I found challenging was coming up with the definition of what those language features mean. What I learnt today was the meaning of what personification and onomatopoeia means. What I think I need to improve on next time I do writing is coming up with meanings about the language features.
