Playing to win activity 2.

In my Novel study that my reading group just started reading there's a bully called Todd and in this blog i'm going to be sharing my ideas on why I think Todd's bullying Denny.

My first reason I think Todd bullies Denny is because he has noticed that Alice and Denny are becoming closer and because he's jealous and scared that they might become boyfriend and girlfriend.
And my second and last reason is because hes jealous that hes already making friends. 

Novel study activity.

In this blog im going to be doing a summary about what i've learnt about the characters,what's happened so far in this book and who i've met in these first 3 chapters.

When I first picked up this book I noticed that the characters are interested in sport especially 
rugby because on the cover of this book it shows two teenagers fighting over a oval shaped ball in Rugby 
uniforms.

While reading the first three chapters i've learnt that the main characters name is  Danny and he just got enrolled into a school called West Bridge High School,He lives with his Mum and his 2 sisters who he picks up everyday after school, and it's easy to notice that he wishes he didn't have to leave his old school, because he misses playing Rugby with his friend and he misses having friends.

But then he met a girl called Alice who he liked and who became one of his friends, but there's another boy called todd who is a bully and also likes Alice, and he gets jealous when Danny talks with Alice or when they hang out together, and on the first day that Danny arrived at school, Todd gave him a hard time because he parked in the spot that Todd likes to call his park.

There's a couple of other people that were in these first 3 chapters who get along with everyone and they are Clara and pete.
Pete talks with Danny sometimes and tells him about the first 15 rugby squad and about what's happening with all the sport stuff, And Clara is just one of Alice's friends.

By reading the first 3 chapters of this book I think that I will enjoy reading it because it talks about 2 sports that I like to play which are Rugby and Touch I also think that I will enjoy reading this book because the Characters sound cool. 

Digi Tech.

Last term tz and Bh started doing a hurumanu called Digital tech.
In Digital Tech we had to get into groups of three and the three in my group were Tai,Tamani and obviously myself we had to choose a topic on what we were going to learn about and what issue were going to share with our class.
Their were three issues to choose and my group choose ethical, my group choose ethical because we learnt that ethical is when someone does something like uses drugs in sport to win so basically doing something that make you have an advantage. 

One thing that went well for my group was finishing the planning because we got lots of good ideas on to the coogle site that we used. and the last thing that I think went well was how we evenly worked well and how we all shared different ideas with each other.

If I had the opportunity to do this again I would choose to create a game instead of a sphero track so that I could play it.

Pe Hurumanu.

Last term Bh and Tz started doing Pe but before we started doing anything we had to get into groups. In pe we started learning a sport that we were interested in teaching to our class and my group choose to do dodgeball.

My lesson on Dodgeball was successful because we were able to show/tell our class how to play and we did good warming our class up so that they were ready to play.And the last reason I think we were successful is because everyone had fun including me because I was allowed to join in.

My role in coaching Dodgeball was to warm up the class. This was important because it prevents injuries and prepares them for the game. I also helped my group out by explaining the rules that we were going to play by.

Something that I would do next time would be choosing a sport that I haven't played so I can learn something while I teach others.

One thing that I learnt was, most people in my class have played Dodgeball. The second thing was lots of people like to play different rules to how we played.

Cooking.

In cooking my class made burgers.
But before we made them we had to clean our hands and put on aprons and ,and after that we had to wipe down our cooking benches so that they were clean for us to put our food on.
To start off making our burgers we put our pattys that we made in a tray with parchment paper on it and then we turned the oven up to 180 to cook our pattys,after one side of the patty were cooked we turned it over.after that we grabbed all of our fillings that we wanted in our burger.
I grabbed beetroot lettuce chesse mayo and barbeque sauce. I put my barbeque sauce on the top of the bun and then put the mayo on the bottom of the bun and finally the pattys were cooked so we got them out and put everything in our buns and then they were all finished and ready for us to eat.

War Horse Novel studys.

Last term my reading group started doing a Novel called War Horse.We had to create a DLO that we do activitys in which are based on the story that were reading,We do these activitys to show what were learning and to show that we understand whats happening in the book.



I liked reading this novel becasue it was cool learning about what happened in the war.
One thing that I liked was how the horse that the story is based on is alive at the end of the war and how he ends up with his first owner that he lived with before he went to War.
But one thing that I didn't like reading was how Joeys friend Topthorn dies.
