Week 3 Reflection

By Anonymous -
This week in English/Pe we learnt another two new games. These games were from the Maori culture.  The First game we learnt was the game Ti Uru. This game was played on a netball court that had 5 dots at each end on the back line. The aim of this game is to get all of your teams dots removed from your side. To get your teams dots removed you need to catch the Ki while standing on the mat. To catch the ball you needed to catch it with a flat palm and if dropped pick it up with a flat palm. If you caught it above of your head two mats were removed. If you caught it by your hip one mat was removed.

The second game we played was ki-o-Rahi. The aim of the game was to get the most points by the end of the games. We were split into two teams the Ki oma(attack) team and the Taniwha team(defence). The court was made into a series of circles inside out each other. Depending on what team you are on there were certain circles you couldn't go in. If on the Ki Oma team to score a point you need to touch and many of the seven post you could then run through to the second circle. If on the Taniwha team to score a point you need to throw the ball from the second circle and hit the bin.

I didn't come across many challenges for Ki-O-Rahi becaus I had played this game many times before. I did come across a challenge with the game Ti Uru because I could catch the Ki very well. To overcome this I just kept trying and ended up getting better. Overall I enjoyed both games but Ki-O-Rahi will be my favourite.

My Ski Response

By Anonymous -
WALT: Write to express ideas. Context:Ski Trip We were allowed to choose the way we respond to the ski trip, so I did a recount. Ski Trip It was Monday the 15th of August, the day Ruma Tahi was going skiing at Porter Heights. I woke up at 5 am so I had more than enough time to get ready. I quietly got up so I didn't wake up my baby sister who  was sound asleep and probably would  of stayed  that way for another 2 hours. I got all my things ready and left. I stepped out into the cold morning air and shivered. When I walked into the class all I saw was excited smiling face. “Shot gun the side” I said to everyone, so I got the  most room. We loaded the car and set off. The first half of the ride all we did was chat. “We should play a game” said Lakshitha. We all agreed to play truth or dare. When it got to my turn I dared Matthew to stick his head out the window and sing jingle bells. I later regretted that, because as soon as he opened the window the ca...

Error Control

We started off this period with a group activity. we got into groups and started off by laying down parity cards in a grid of 8x8. Parity card is a card that one side is black and the other is white. we know that a computer uses ones and zeros, so the black side of the card represents the zeros and the white represents the ones.We then had to make sure that each line and each column had the cards flipped the right way. To make sure that the cards were flipped the right way we had to make sure that there is an even amount of black cards. So if the was three cards that were black we had to flip a white so there was an even amount of black. We then went onto out computer and played a games like the one that we played in our group. We had a grid of 8x8 again and again had to make sure that there was an even amount of black like below. Once we finished that you could click flip a bit and it would flip a card and you had to find the error. In conclusion decomposition basically me...

pilot survey

By Anonymous -
I completed a pilot survey by sending it to a few different students to see if they were able to answer the questions and understand what was being asked. At the end pf my survey I added a open question to see what I could improve. In my pilot survey I was specific question I wanted answer so I could see: There was any questions they didn't understand  Was the a answer that wasn't assessable  Was the wording in the survey clear https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1U6AJsNlu3trwRzXcceL6aFMNmEjyuAj5R50UiBqsrvk/edit#responses After my pilot survey I made some changes that was recommended to me.  The first was some spelling mistakes that I made throughout the survey  The next thing I changed was some of the answer options. I made it so there was more variety for the people to answer with. Not only this but I copied the address of the website into the survey so people could access it quickly if they did not already have it. The last thing I changed was the description of what ...
