What is TXT?!

What is TXT?!

Talofa! This week Mr Scott set a DLO challenge for us. This DLO challenge is about researching 5 interesting facts you didn't know on something you're in interested in. For me, I am into KPOP and I choose to research one of the KPOP groups and that is TXT. I collected 5 facts I didn't know about the members of this band. Here is my DLO and I hope you like it! Enjoy!

Thanks for viewing my post! Please give me some feedback down below of how I could improve it next time. That would be appreciated so much. Thanks and have a good day! 

What have we been doing in Digitech?

Kamusta! Today I'll be blogging about one of our new hurumanu and that is Digital Tech with Miss Tozer, Mr Carter and Mr Richardson. In this hurumanu, we are focusing on making a game about our Topic. The topics we need to choose from are Social, Ethical and Environment issues. I choose environmental issues and It's about Deforestation. For the past few weeks, we're just doing some researching about the topic we choose. We have this google doc to put our resources there.

After we've done the researching parts, I think we are exploring 2 apps that you could make a game based on your topic. For example, your topic was about rubbish, you could make a game where you put bits of pieces of rubbish to the bin. 

I'd say, this hurumanu is pretty exciting because It involves using exciting apps and gadgets and I've heard we are gonna use some robots. So far I enjoy this new hurumanu and the only thing is bothering me is that we can't access to the Hurumanu site.

Anyways, here is my doc that I've been working on based on my topic.

PE Hurumanu - Warm-Ups and Drills

This week in PE Hurumanu, There were 6 different teams that were randomly chosen by the teachers. I was with Zoe, Risha, Shalizeh, Kya, Matt, Alex and Jayden. Our task was to choose a sport that we want to play during the PE Hurumanu sessions. We've all chose Volleyball because we thin It's an interesting sport and we wanna learn that as well. Our main task now is to fill in the template doc of how we're gonna teach that sport we've chosen to the class which is pretty challenging. In one of the parts, to teach our class that sport we were required to make a couple of warm-ups to be done for 5 minutes and two drills that practise the 2 skills in volleyball.

 We created 3 main warm-ups to be done in 5 minutes. 

Our warm-ups are: 

- 20 Walking Hip flexor stretch

- 20 Walking glute stretch

- 20 Squats

- 20 Laps running back and forth

Our 2 drills are:

- Long-throw

How to do it:

Get a partner and a volleyball. For this drill, you need to stand across each other and practises hitting the ball we will teach you how to hit the ball. Make sure to aim a little high when you hit so you can practise hitting the ball over the net.

- ServingHow to do it:
Serving - The next drill we will be teaching you will be how to serve in a volley. For this, you will need a group of two so in pairs. You will try serving over a net. The aim is to have served that land in the other person's hands. 

So Far those are the things we've done. Next week, we we'll be focusing on making our slides of how to play our sports which is Volleyball. I don't know much in Volleyball so I guess I'll be learning how to play it as well in this Hurumanu. Bye! Have a great day!

Self Intros - Japanese

Konnichiwa! This week in Japanese we've been doing our self intros. This activity involved using our prior knowledge of what we've learned for the past few weeks in Japanese. Here is a PDF of my work that has been scanned by Mr Williams. 

Thanks for viewing my post and have a great day everybody! Sayounara!

Tane Mahuta CIP update!

Today was a blast in Tane Mahuta CIP! We have clean up pretty almost everything in the outdoor classroom and we have started planting plants in the garden. First off, I helped to mix the soil in the garden to have some healthy soil for the plants. The soil is a bit hard maybe because it frosted because this past few days the weather is cold. But because we're doing it in teamwork we've successfully made the soil smooth and soft again. Mr Tisch got a couple of baby cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce and beetroot. Next, we've covered the plants with some shelter. We find strong and thick sticks bury in the ground (both sides) and cover the large plastic shelter thing over it.

 It looks like this:

After we're done with the garden we came to help the people in the outdoor classroom group. We help them move some metal parts and bits and pieces of woods from the cabinet etc. It was pretty heavy because of some large things like cabinets, doors etc. 

Bye and have a great day!

P.E. Hurumanu - Fitness Testing!

Kamusta! So today I'll be telling you about our new Hurumanu. This new exciting Hurumanu is PE! I know we've already done PE Hurumanu with Mr Goodfellow and Miss Tozer but this new one is a new PE Hurumanu with Miss Birtch and Miss Simpson. In this hurumanu, we're focusing on getting our fitness better and so we have a healthy body.  

This week in our 2nd PE hurumanu, we've been doing fitness testing. Today we're doing beep test It was really kind of hard for me because I don't really like running so I'm kinda a slow runner but because I didn't give up I reached Level 5.2 the highest was Level 10.10 but It's fine I tried my best. There is another fitness test we've done on Monday this week but I couldn't get the results because Zoe forgot to share it to us and she's away today.

 I think I really need to improve on my stretching and running because during the exercise where we stretched our legs and we need to touch it with our hands. I can't do it because I'm not a flexible type of person nor a good long-distance runner. I think

to improve in those 2 things is that I would do a daily stretching at home and run at least 3 laps every day around our backyard.

Behind that hardwork, I think I also did get along really well with my groups, they were unto it. I think I did really well on cheering them when they are having a hard time like doing the beep test. When I cheered them I think I made them had the courage to face it and not give up. One of my teammates we're having a hard time doing sit-ups but luckily I held her feet and helped her.

I really enjoyed this new hurumanu even though It's a bit hard for me at least I had fun.

Thank you for reading my post about our new hurumanu subject. Have a wonderful day to y'all.

It's because this food is half climate-friendly and not. It's not climate-friendly because we kill animals to make hams. Also, It is climate-friendly because we grow bread kinds of wheat and we could make homemade mayonnaise.

I think It should be the vegetarian type of sandwich so it doesn't affect the extinction of animals in the world.
