Japanese Game

Today was the best day.  Mr Yamasaki  taught us how to play a japanese game. I was excited of learning a new game. The japanese game was very interesting  to play but I like it. I hope we learn more and play another japanese game again next week.

How sports has made me a better person

WALT: write an explanation.

I have always enjoyed watching and playing sport but I believe it has also made me a better person. It has encouraged me to get fit and it has taught me about many  important qualities and values.

Respect

Playing sport has taught me about respect. I’ve learnt to play fairly and respect the rules in the game. I need to be disciplined and not show anger and bad behaviour on the field. It’s important to show respect to my team mates. I need to learn how to be polite to my opponents and their team. If they win I should congratulate them.

Excellence

Sports has made me value excellence. I have to train physically and mentally and take care of my body.  I need to gain confidence with my skills and  develop a positive  attitude. The team must co operate, plan their moves and work together so they could win the game.  I need to do my best. I have  also learnt to admire excellence in other people.

Friendship

Sport has  helped me learn more about friendship. I have learnt that my friends have good qualities such as honesty, trust and helpfulness. If we hadn’t played together I might not have seen these qualities. Having fun with my friends and being part of a team is a great experience. I have also made new friends when we joined a  team together. If we hadn’t been in a team together we might not have known each other. Friendship doesn’t just last on the field it carries on afterwards in our lives.

I really believe that sport has made me a better person. I have learnt to respect other people and myself and I have learnt to admire excellence, I have created bonds with my old friends and made new ones.  The  thing I value the most is friendship.

Chalk art

Last friday we did chalk art. For the past few weeks we were doing this art to relate to the olympics. The sport code was weightlifting. My very first sport code was wrestling but it was difficult of doing it so I have to change my code. The first thing we had to do is plan before hand. We drew our plan on a piece of paper then we were finally ready. We choose Last friday because it was sunny and beautiful. Then Room 8 and Room 7 start the chalk art.  We did a great chalk art and it was fun. I hope we do this art again.

It was a little bit difficult but I am willing to know it off by heart and learn more of 1000s and addition to 20. I want try more harder of getting 62%. Maybe next time I hopefully that I will get 62%

Cook Island Language Week

Cook Island  Language Week

After morning tea, we had some visitors from the Auckland Museum. Today we were learning about Cook Island history. What I find interesting was that I didn't know that they use coconut as a material. Today I learnt that in the olden days, they used stars, the sun and the moon as their guidance. I enjoy them coming here and I hope they come again to teach us some more Cook Island history.
