Swimming sports

Hi everyone,
Welcome back to my blog.
Today I'm going to be talking to you about
swimming sports, I competed in freestyle, backstroke and relays,
I came first in freestyle heats and fourth in backstroke
heats and I think my relay team came third.
Unfortunately I didn't go through to zones but I'm sure I'll
do better next year.
I have improved a lot since last year but I still
think I can do better because there's always room for
improvement right?
well anyway, let me know if you have ever done swimming
sports before and if you have have you gotten a placing.
anyway until next time, BYE.

My elevator pitch

Bonjour everybody,

Welcome back to my amazing world of blogging.

2019 I'm a year 7! this year our project base learning (PBL) question

is what is greatness? Today I'm going to show you my elevator pitch, 

if you are not familiar with an elevator pitch, to match our  pick somebody great 

and write about them. 

So here is mine:

What to include:
An introduction of the person you will talk about. Use a ‘hook’ to get people interested.	Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. One quote from Mother Teresa
How was/is this person great and what they have contributed to society i.e. service, leadership, accomplishments, talents.	She is great because she would go around India and help people that are sick on the side of the street
What qualities did this person display that has lead to them being great? i.e. empathetic,  humble etc.	Mother Teresa was always so passionate in what she did and so kind and caring to everyone even if they were different
How has this person shown greatness in ways others haven’t? What has lead to them standing out?	Mother Teresa has shown Greatness different then others because most people would just walk past everyone on the side of the road but mother Teresa  would actually take care of them and help them out
Why do you personally think this person has displayed greatness?	I think this person has displayed greatness by actually stopping and taking time out of her day just to be kind and help all the people that really need to be taken care of
Strong close/tag line - leave us with something memorable to think about i.e. quote, question…. Want to convince us to why this person is great.	Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. That is one of Mother Teresa's meany quotes

Well I hope you enjoyed today's blog

and make sure you let me know if you have

ever done and elevator pitch?

Well I hope you all have an amazing day,

Bye.😀😀

MARKET DAY

HOLA, welcome back to my amazing world of blogging
This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and the big question was; How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?

First we learned what STEAM stood for.
S for Science
T for Technology
E for Engineering
A for the Arts
and M for Maths
Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.
Then; make a table that was able to balance MnMs for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because we learnt from the first challenge what and what not to do
                                                                                Here is my Technology Template 
In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and to write a technology report using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.
How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.

My team made bowling with bubble bottles, you would bowl a ball and the first bottle you knocked over you got a lollie. Here is a photo.

My highlight from this PBL was actually making it and then selling them to make money for charity
Next time I would plan out my invention a little bit better.
Let me know if you have ever had a market day and hope you come
back next time.
BYE.

CENTRALS I MADE IT!!!!!

Kia ora koutou,
Hi everyone welcome back to my amazing world of blogging.
Today I will be sharing my story about centrals that's right I got
through for shot put, it was a little boring because I had to wait
4 or 5 hours for my event to start because it started at TEN PAST TWO.
But while I was waiting I got to draw and play with one of my friends,
I was number 83 so it took a while first I hear one next thing 27 then
53 then 77 and finally 83 I went to my event and unfortunately I didn't
come a place but I was still very happy with my throws and also happy
I got into centrals. That has to count as something, right?
Anyway I hope you enjoyed my blog post and let me know if
you have ever been to centrals and if you have what for?
e noho ra hope you come back.
BYE.

ZONES (and maybe an extra surprise at the end)

Talofa everyone,
I GOT INTO ZONES. I know that I talked about getting into zones in my last blog but it was really fun because six of my friends went as well. I had to wait a while for my first event but it was discus, I didn't do to bad I think that I got seventh over all and then I went back to have some lunch and then I was marshalled back to do shot put and I came 3rd over all which means FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I GOT INTO CENTRALS!!!!!! 

I am so happy that I got into centrals because last year I got into zones but I didn't get into centrals, unfortunately none of my friends got in but I was the only year six that went through and I am SO exited. As soon as I saw my name on the list I couldn't believe it literally, I was denying it.

Thanks for stopping buy.
Have you ever gone to zones or even to centrals make sure you comment that 
down below!!

Ciao for now and see ya next time BYE.

Awesome day at athletics

HOLA AMIGOS,
today I'm going to be talking to you about athletics day.
First up was sprints and I'm pretty sure I came last, next up was long distance and I think I came fourteenth which isn't that bad, now that all the racing is over it's time for shot put, discus, high jump and long jump. First was shot put and I came first with 6 metres and 92 centimetres and second for discus with 12 metres and 45 centimetres.

Next up high jump and let me tell you I did TERRIBLE I could hardly jump over 1 metre so will everyone else jumped I played on a soft mat with some of my friends. And know lucky last, at least that's what I thought I got disqualified for long jump because my toes went over the line but at least I qualified for shot put and discus.



Thanks for coming back to my blog and make sure you comment if you like athletics.

adiós and see you next time.
😁😁😁😁

Come and look at my journey of the Tumu PBL performance!!!

BONJOUR, and welcome back to my amazing world of BLOGGING.

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about cultural stories and the big question was;

What is the significance in the 21st Century of our Cultural stories?

First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas. Culture is traditions, traditional food, different holidays, celebrations, reunions and different religions

Then we thought about our own culture and talked to our parents about our traditions and heritage. I wrote a post about my family and things we like to do.

In Literacy we read and discussed myths and legends from around the world then we concentrated on Maori legends. I read Maui and the sun, the battle of the mountains and more I retold the legend of Maui and the sun and Maui and the big fish in my own words.

We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students wrote the script, some students took on the job of making all the artwork, some worked hard on organising the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama.

Here is a photo of me platting my poi for the performance:

For our production I contributed by doing the poi dance and painting the setting

I think the show might impact on others by making the battle of the mountain story come to life

What I learned about working with others was that it is better to work with others and have help than to work independently with no help and not that many ideas.

Thanks for visiting my blogging world and let

me know if you have ever been in a performance before.

Hope you have a fantastic day, so until next time.

BYE😀😀
