This Weeks Reflection.

This week in English and P.E we research and played two new Maori based games called Ki o Rahi and Horohopu. Horohopu is a game played in two teams and a big dice that is kinda like a ball this game was super fun and hard because you had to catch the ball with a flat hand and I kept on dropping it. The second game that we played was Ki o Rahi which seemed very complicated at the start but then we got a hang of it and it was very fun as well. Both of these games were new to me and were very fun to learn about a culture in New Zealand. 

Kabaddi and Lacrosse

This week in English and p.e we researched two new games called Kabaddi and Lacrosse and then we played them in P.E. Firstly in English we had to see if a website is credible by choosing one new sport and finding a trustworthy website about it, I researched Korfball.  Yesterday we learned how to play Kabaddi, Kabaddi in a sport that is from the origin of India paid by teams of seven it is a contact sport and is a little bit like the bulrush, when we played we had to change the rules because we had to play it with no contact. Today we played lacrosse, Lacrosse is a team sport originated from North America were they use these sticks with nets on the end to grab the ball and pass it to your teammates, the aim of the game is to get the most goals. I am very happy to have learned two new games this week and both games I really enjoyed. 

English and P.E

This week in English and P.E we researched and played a sports activity called Palin. Palin is played in Argentina and Chile and is played with sticks that are more curved at the bottom (like hockey sticks), We went down to the beach and found sticks for all of our class that where like the ones they use. Next we had to figure out the rules of the game, which we had to guess a few because the rules are not clear, Next we played the game in P.E which was very fun it was a new experience for all of our class and it was good to experience some sports that other cultures play. A challenge we experienced this week was that Palin is played in a 200m by 12m wide field and we couldn't find any fields that big so we had to just use a much shorter field. This week I have learned a new sport that I enjoy from another culture.  

 

English connections

Today in English class we learned about augmented reality and virtual realty and we had to try link it to the hunger games which we had watched previously and the road to winter which we had read previously. 

With virtual reality, you can swim with sharks. And with augmented reality, you can watch a shark pop out of your business card. 

In the hunger games they can just make stuff pop up whenever and wherever they want this is one example of linking the hunger games and uncanny valley there is many more. This is how we could use virtual realty in the future I think that virtual and augmented reality will be able to be used in education by being able to explore new places.  We could use these during school, and we could write about what we saw in new and different countries. and this is what i have learned so far about augmented reality and virtual realty. 

Working independently and time management

In class my first unit of study was culture diversity, we started creating a survey about culture diversity for one of my classmates to fill out. I surveyed Allie she is my classmate and friend her opinion and what she thought. She liked most of the survey and corrected me for a misspelled word :)  for the photo, song and trailer she choose what she could relate to and i agreed with her decisions. She choose the article because it was interactive, and the song because she liked how it sounded she also choose the picture.
