Playing to Win - Fast Finishers

Hi guys today in reading we have been writing summaries about what happened in the chapters that we read. After you finished you move onto fast finisher tasks, the fast finisher task that I wanted to do was where you reread the first paragraph were he talks about sports, and then we have to write about what he means when he says "You can fight a whole war, forty minutes each way and come out the other end alive. More or less anyways" and also how he feels about playing sports.

What I think he means by that is that is that in one half you could come out non injured and at one half you could come out inured or its a win or not winning ratio. When he plays sports he probably feels more energetic, powerful, and he feels happy to play while playing sports. 

Upstander Actions

 Hi guys today in wananga we are doing some more task on Pink Shirt Day. The activity that we are doing is that we are getting an action and then we write a result to the action that you did to help that person. Here is the activity that I did I hope you enjoy.

Awhi/Support the person experiencing bullying  
Result -  I think that the result would be that if you watch the person being bullied and after you could tell them that you saw what happened and you can encourage them to tell a teacher and also help them and support them through out the period of time that they have been being bullied.

Distract - Interrupting the bullying in some type of way
Call it! - If you feel safe you can tell the person who is bullying someone that it isn't right.Leave and Act - If you don't feel safe to step in while the bullying is happening you can move away from the situation and later on you can ask the person who was being bullying if the want help.
Get some other help - Get some other help is when you support or help the person who is being bullied by getting help by other people a trusted adult or a teacher. 

Art - Blackout poetry

 Hi guys today in art we did blackout poetry. Blackout poetry is when you have a book, news paper or something that has writing on it, you choose a page you then circle or outline the words that you want and then it can make a poem out of the words you circled or outlined. During the first session of doing this we started off with doing some normal ones without drawings, during this session we drew something that linked with our poem. My experience with writing these poem's is that I found it really fun and I also found it really fun to draw something underneath my poems. I was feeling really happy to do this activity because I found it as a way for people to get their creativity out. My favourite poem out of all of them is the bird one on the end. Here is a picture of the poems that I did. 

Pink Shirt Day - Opinion

 Hi guys today in wga we are doing some things about pink shirt day. one of the activites that you had a choice to do was a question and we had to follow the question with our opinion. The question was "Why do you think Pink Shirt Day has become a global movement". My opinion on this is that i think it became a global movement to spread awareness about bullying, and that people shouldn't be judge by wearing a certain type of colour or design. I think that the message was spread around the world because the bullying happens everywhere and also that it would've been spread throughout social media and people paid mor attention to it. It would've moved people who would have been bullied before and wanted to stick up for the kid even though it didn't happen in their country.

What is expected - PE

Today we have been told to write what is expected of us when we come to do PE.

You are expected to have PE gear, if not you will have a punishment, probably not playing the games or picking up rubbish. If PE shorts or top is being washed you can bring another pair of shorts of another t-shirt so you can still participate. When coming to the gym you line up in two lines outside the door. Once changed in PE gear you come and sit down were teacher says so. All gear is left untouched until the teacher says you are allowed to touch the gear that has been put out.

Pink Shirt Day - DLO

 Hi guys today in Wananga we were working on a DLO about what Pink Shirt Day is.  Here is my DLO Pink Shirt Day I hope you enjoy.

Reading - Summary

 Hi guys today in reading we stared to read our book, the book that we read was called "Playing To Win". After we read the chapters that we had to we have to write a summary on what the book was about, who the main character was, what we know about them, some main events, and what we predict will happen next, here is my summary on what I have read so far.

The few things that have happened so far is that there is a main character and his name is Denny Logan, he recently moved from his old high school to a new one, I say that his personality would be that he is a chill type of guy and he doesn't really care what others think about him. He also likes to play rugby and has two sisters that he usually refers to as The Monsters. During the first few days he enrolled to his new school, he also got a job and a new car. On Denny's first day at his new school he was in class, a guy who's name was Todd walked into class, Todd seems like the guy who is to full of himself, he says loudly out of nowhere someone parked in his parking spot. Denny found out that he parked in Todd's parking spot, it seemed like he didn't really care that he parked in Todd's parking spot. He also meet a girl named Alice who was pretty nice and Todd looked like he had a crush on her.
