Reflection about Athletics day!

Last week on Thursday the 7th of March, the whole school had to do Athletics day. We had to pick out of competitive and social but I pick social about i was didn't want to get a place because I was a bit lazy. On Athletics day we had to be in our house colors but we had to dress up crazy. I was in green which that is Shelford.

Social is that you don't want to get place and you don't verse people. Competitive is that you want to get a place and actual verse people.

These was all of the house colors:

• Blue - Lewis 
• Yellow- Tuner
• Red- Setu
• Green- Shelford

I was hangout with my best friend Anneleise because all of the friends were going competitive but Anneleise was doing social with me, Every 7th each mouth that is when my sister pass way but it's only a mouth and I didn't really had a good day because i was thinking about my sister a lot but I was ok I try my best to have a good day. 

we had to sing a chant

this is our chant: 

Shelford is green

lewis is blue 

we are dteremine to beat you 

Tuner is yellow 

Setu is red 

we want to win for the house are dead

SORRY couldn't remember the rest of the chant.

I have really fun at Athletics day I hope we could do it again.

Food technology

The past 6 weeks, years 8 S.H and Tz have been doing cooking for this term. the past 6 weeks we had made 5 meal.

This is what we make !

• wraps 
• Jiffy Snacks 
• Cheese Rolls
• Sushi
• Healthy burgers 

Our teachers are Mrs Hindson and Mrs Wheeler. we have Mrs Wheeler on Tuesday and then we have Mrs Hindson on Friday but we just have cooking on Tuesdays and Fridays. 

My favourite meal is the wraps because it was really easy to make and we only needed to get the vegetables and fruit and then roll it and when I made my wrap I didn't really know how to roll but I asked the teacher and she showed me and I know have to roll a wrap now. I can probably make it at home.   

I am so happy to do cooking for the first term!

Music

About the term

So far this term in music we had to do a one minute movie that i didn’t like. We started making a one minute movie that only could be one minute, we could only have 3 people in a group.

One minute movie

There was 2 classes join up and we had to make a group with two classes i was with Anneleise and Chloe. We did our recording at the courts because there was really good lighting there. We did our one minute movie about bullying because people did to stop bullying. The last bit of the movie i didn’t like because i was the one that look sad and angry.  

Film angles

Whilst filming our one minute movie we had to include angles not just keeping it at one angle. We had to used

• Up chose
• Long distance
• Zoom up
• Lifi up
• Side angles
• Leg angles

But there is much more!

Storyboard

We had to make a storyboard so we could get a better idea of what angles we were using and the senses were going include. This really helps people and us because instead of filming started away with no idea of what to do we had an idea and got it finished quicker.

Music

After we film we add some music into it because it make it sound more interesting and makes people want to watch it and so people can enjoy it.  

P.E

What game did you play today?

Today i watch my pe class playing silly banana and bench ball.

Which one did you enjoy the most and why?

I really like watching bench ball because there was lots of moving and lots of talking and it make me want to play it.

What game did you find challenging and why?

I got really confused with silly banana game because i didn’t really understand it and when you get tag you have to put your arms up to be free and i got really confused about that.

What skills do you need to have to be a good listener?

To be a really good listener is to be silent and be focused and eyes looking at the teacher.

What communication skills did i need to have when playing bench ball?

My skills for communication is talking to your teammates and having a loud voice when your calling for the ball and called out the names

What skills do i need to work on for my next lesson?

Moving around and defending the other team and looking at the teacher.

There ways I will show commitment by…

1. not being scared when I fail in front of everyone.
2. I will show confidence to get the ball
3. I will keep trying until i get it right
