First P.E for Term 2

Last week we did P.E,  we got put into separate groups.  We were learning how to get along with others(Not just our friends).  We also got the chance to assign different people to different roles. Example, Chloe is the manager.  I think that it was a great chance to learn more about others.  We were also talking about what makes a good team player?

What makes a good team player?  For me personally, I think that it takes great to commit to others by always looking for who is open and always talking.  If the person is always talking then the team will be knowing what is happening on the court or field.  I need to display the roles of a leader.

What is your role in your team?  My role is the captain and the coach.  It takes a lot of responsibility because they will occasionally look up to you and may even rely on you.  This is the way I like it, I like taking responsibility for my team and helping them when they struggle.   In physical matters.

How could you better your team?  I think that giving my team some encouragement will definitely help.  The reason behind this is so they can feel confident on the court and not get scared easily.   What I like to personally do is when they achieve something good I make sure that everyone knows that.

I also think that giving them a chance every once in a while.  Lastly is being a role model to them and showing them how it is done. ;)

What is D.T ?

We have a new hurumanu (Module).  It is called D.T it stands for Digital Technology.  I think that this is fun and I know that I will be intrigued to learn more about our digital world! We are starting to look at the issue in our daily lives and learning more ways to post on our blog. 

What do I already know how to D.T?  I know how to use cool things called Pixaloop, Google drive, Mindmup, App store, Play store, Galaxy apps, Ps4 apps etc.  These "tech-savvy" stuff that I learnt has taught me and moulded me into the tech pro I am today.

What do I hope to learn D.T? I hope to learn about the different apps that you need to stay internet safe.  I want to know how to create apps, games and different ways to edit videos.

Does it take science to make a marble work?

My Question: Does it take science to make a marble run work?

Introduction

Hello my name is Lasa, and I am going to explaining what a marble run works. I’ll be taking you into some “scientific things”. I wonder what makes a marble move down lets go it gravity.

How gravity works

The answer is easy but again “scientifically important”. The magic is Earth moving round the Sun is in a dynamic equilibrium. The speed of the Earth's movement creates a centrifugal force which balances the gravitational force between the Sun and the Earth. ... Because there is no force to stop it.  

Kinetic energy, accelerate, decelerate

The power of movement is due to kinetic energy. The marble is accelerated faster and faster as it is using kinetic energy. When the marble slows down that is called anti acceleration.

Conclusion

In conclusion it actually does take science to create this wonderful creation.

Highlight of term one

This term we have done cool stuff like Athletics, Touch Tournament, Thai Games, P.E, Movie Magic and much more.  But the highlight for me has to be Athletics let me tell you why.

Athletics was fun, we got to choose either competitive or social.  I choose competitive because of the experienced players I am up against.  Although they were good I still did my personal best.

The activities that I did were High jump, Long Jump, 60-meter sprint, Discus and shotput.  I had fun because I had the opportunity to watch my friends or better compete with them. My friends and I walked around the school and bought some lunch while we were waiting for our event to start.

I honestly would do this again because that was how fun it was.  In my opinion, it was the most fun blood pumping start to the year.  I encourage others to compete in Athletics and if were luck I'll compete against you.  Thank you for reading.

National Young Leaders Day

Last week on Thursday we went to a cool thing called National Young Leaders day held at Horncastle Arena.  It was a great experience to watch role models talk, the speech that I enjoyed the most Sala Tiatia.  I felt like I somehow connected with him his talk was something that I could apply to my own life.  He once taught us to listen to our pain,  he used an example upon himself.  He said that they played rugby and he injured his arm in a tackle,  he said that he didn't listen to his arm and he continued playing which made it even worse.  So he said that we should listen to our pain and to not continue playing when you are injured.  In my opinion, I think that he was mainly talking about trying not to be the "cool guy."

My favourite part was watching the skit that Ronnie Taulofomade about him being an "Ordinary Island Guy."  He was singing the song from Moana, Your Welcome.  If you didn't realize already he is the guy from What Now!  He talked about his early life and what molded him to the man he is today.  I found out things that I did not know before.

If I had the chance I would definitely do this again.  It was a great experience coming to national young leaders day.  I would rate this 10/10.  Thank you for listening and bye.
