The Enticing Revolution Tour!

The Enticing Revolution Tour!

Talofa! in Tuesday this week, the amazing Revolution group visited our school.

So, today I'm gonna share to you about how was my experience about it. The tour happened in our great auditorium; They welcomed us with some enjoyable games and performance using Saxophone by Reggie. He performed Let It go, Just the way you are and Kiki do you love me. It was wild, to be honest, but I really enjoyed it. The games that we played was called "Throw your friend under the bus".  Reggie has to call like the "Athlete" and if you have a friend that is very confident in sports then you should point at him/her or drag them to go up to the stage. It was entertaining and embarrassing at the same time. 

I was lucky no one picked me, but my friend Lyan got picked for being the smartest person. After a couple of minutes, the Athlete, Smart, Funny, Shy and the Teacher is in the stage now. Reggie has to ask them a question about bullying, and they just have to say False or True, and a sound effect will just pop up. But then, the last question was tricky for the teacher and Miss Tozer got it wrong. The question was about Does a bully have low self-esteem? The answer was a bully has a High Self-esteem.

He also shared the story of his life; It was upsetting. Her own mum didn't accept him as a son, because he was the result of sleeping with another man for money in order to buy food because they were poor. He was only 14 years old until he got his last name. It was really a touching story.
But behind those problems, he manages to overcome those problems.

It was really a nice experience having to watch those talented people performed.

Thanks for reading my experience about the Revolution Tour.

How to play Bench Ball

How to play Bench Ball

Hey guys! Today in P.E. Hurumanu we played the game Bench Ball again. When we first played it I didn't get to talk about how to play this awesome game. But today, I'm gonna teach you how to play it.

What you'll need:

 - A circle ball

- 12 players or more (6 each team)

- A large bench to fit all the players of a team

- Bibs (Optional) so you know which is your teammates

How to play it:

Aim - To make all your teams go up to the bench.

How - By passing the ball to that one person in the bench.

Positions - 1 Defender in the other side

                   1 Ball catcher person on the bench

                   5 players, their job is to pass it to their teammates until the ball catcher person catch the ball, and that person who throws the ball to the Ball catcher person will go up to the bench and help the Ball catcher person to catch some balls from their teammates.

What the court looks like:

Now you know how to play Bench Ball!

Time for questions!

What aspect of teamwork did your team focus on?

My team focus on Inclusion and Positive Attitude.

How well did your team go with your teamwork focus? 

My team did well on Inclusion because everyone is passing it to each other in order to the Ball catcher person catch the ball. My team also quite did well on Positive Attitude but there's still room for Improvement.

What could your team have done better?

Next time, we could give compliments to each other more, instead of blaming them for making the ball out.

For me, the Bench Ball game is the best game so far for our Team because we win 2 games and 1 tie.

Bye, I hope you learned something and have a great day!

Fo Guang Shan Temple visit 2019

Hi! Today I'm gonna be sharing you my experience in Fo Guang Shan Temple visit 2019 trip.

I hope you enjoy and here's my writing:

3G4G  Experience 2019

In the 14th of May, My class (7/8Tz) Bh, Ts and Sh classes went to Fo Guang Shan Buddhist temple or we call it 3G4G. 3G stands for doing good deeds, say good words and think good thoughts. The 4G stands for Giving others hope, give others joy, give others convenience and give others confidence. It was a lovely sunny early morning at about 9:00 AM, we started going into our buses. I and my class 7/8Tz  were with 7/8Bh class on the bus. As I walk in the bus, I choose the first single seat in the front because I like to see the view. A couple of minutes later we arrived in the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple. They welcomed us with some warm greetings. After that, they split us into two groups. My class and Bh class was in Group 2 while the Sh and Ts class is in Group 1.

We all waddled to the Art Gallery and they explained to us what does 3G4G means. Next, That’s when we got split up, Group 1 went to the other side, while us we went to the Flower Origami part. First, we choose a flower paper origami parts. The instructor explained to us how to do it.

After about 5 minutes later everyone was finished.  There were some Pink, Blue, White/Cream, Orange and Yellow colours of flowers. But for me, I choose the Pink one because I like Pink.

Next, we watch a video about their Buddha of how he gives Joy, Hope, Confidence and Convenience to others,  It was really nice to know their cultures. After we watch the video we have some Q and A’s about the video and summerise up of what happened in the video.
Thirdly, we went outside to get some water tattoos! Based on my observations in the water tattoo it says what are 3G4G.  We lined up and get our water tattoos, first, she gets the tattoo template and wet it in my hand. We put our other hand over it in 40 seconds so the water tattoo is firmly stuck.

After that, we lined up to get cookies and water. We receive 2 cookies in one small clear plastic packaging and water in packaging like the type of Yoghurt packaging which seems a bit odd. After everyone receives a cookie and water we sat down in the edge. The other groups which are Sh and Ts class also arrived and get their cookies and water. We were just eating, then suddenly, the bird pooped in the arms of one of the boys in Bh which is Jullien. It was so funny and unexpected and everyone laughed.

Thirdly, we waddled again upstairs and they showed us their library. The library was quite small so we were a bit crowded. Their library was full of Chinese books, English books etc. Apparently, that library was a bit old so it didn’t have a computer in it. Lastly, everyone gathered up in the main part of the temple. There inside, there’s a thing where you can bath the Buddha. Mostly half of the everyone bath the Buddha and half of it didn’t. I didn’t bath the Buddha because I was too shy to go up there and everyone staring at you while bathing the Buddha so I didn’t go up.

After bathing the Buddha, We also did a quick meditation. Everyone sat on the ground a relax their bodies and close their eyes. We did meditation for 3 minutes. After the meditation, my body feels relax but the others say it hurts their back. It’s probably because they straighten their backs too much. Lastly, they give us a little token bell with a red paper hanging underneath the bell and it says what is the 3G4G’s. Overall my Experience in 3G4G visiting the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist temple again in 2019 was great and fabulous.

Facts:

The paper flower origami that we did. Is actually called "Lotus".

Here's what it looks like in real life:

I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to give me some feedback about my work.

How to play the amazing game called Ki o rahi?

How to play an amazing game called Ki o Rahi?

Hello! the last week, we've been playing the real game of Ki o Rahi. My post last week was about the game Ki o Rahi as well but it was just kinda "Like" the game.

But today I'll be Explaining how to play the real game. But before we start, Ki o Rahi is a traditional game of Maori. So there are some Maori vocabulary words of what we call those things.

What you'll need:

- 7 Pou's (Poles)

- 1 Tupu (Centre target bin)

- 1 Ki (A ball called Ki) 

-Field markings

-14 people to play (7 People each team)

Rules:

There are two teams that are gonna be playing. Each team have a main Job to do. One team has to be either Kioma or Taniwha.

Kioma - What Kioma does is they collect points by touching the Ki (The ball) to the Pou's (Poles).  They can touch Pou's as many they want. They can redeem the points by touching the Pawero (The white part) of the field.

 But at the same time, they have to avoid to get touch by the other teams. If the other team touch you, you can still carry on but when they touch you like 3 times with different people, It's a hand over that means the other teams get the Ki (The ball). 

The Kioma has also at least 2 Kaitiaki players inside to protect the Tupu (The centre target bin) from the other teams of getting score by hitting the Tupu. If the 2 Kaitiaki want to get out of the Te Wairua (Which is the place where they are on before) well they can, They just have to go to Te Ara (The path where they can go in and out).

Taniwha - What Taniwha does is that they get points by hitting the Ki to the Tupu, But they also need to look out from Kioma players because they might get touched and the same thing as Kioma when the Taniwha players get touched by the Kioma players 3 times in different people then they need to hand the ball.

 But when they touch the player but the player already passed it to somebody in their team then that doesn't count. The Taniwha players can stand at Te Roto to hit the Ki to the Tupu. But they need to remember that the 2 Kaitiaki players can touch them if they are too close.

Te Ao - It's what you call it the place surrounds the 7 Pou's.

Here's what the field looks like:
The Ki o Rahi game has a unique circular field.

Here's a clip of when we played it in the great field:

Thanks for viewing my post!

I hope you now know how to play the cool Ki o Rahi game now.

Have a great day and don't forget to leave some feedback for me.

Ciao!
