Task Description: This week Friday a lamb visited our class  room. The lamb’s name is Masima, Masima is a girl lamb which is known as an ewe. This morning I have watched and learned more about her body and have done a Canva presentation which was shared to me by the teacher – Nicole which is also the owner of Masima.

I have had the privilege of being in the same class of the lamb because Nicole was substituting for our class. One of my favourite facts which I have learned about her is that her name means salt and that she has 4 stomachs to digest her food.  The presentation which I will insert below has features and information on the lamb and a quiz of would you rather.

In this morning block we went for a run with Masima, her running style was so jolly and adorable with little hops between her steps. Her energy was a slight contrast between her earlier personality. Despite her jolly persona while running, she occasionally stopped due to not seeing Nicole like  a sheep to its shepherd.

I really enjoyed being with the lamb today as she is clean and literally feels like a soft teddy bear. Though one sad fact about her is that her mother rejected her though took in her sibling which is why she became a pet. Unlike all lambs she won’t be sheared for wool as she is a pet and no she will not be cooked into a pork bun. Due to the fact that she is a pet  she is very joyful and playful and as stated before very clean and soft.

Task Description: This week and part of last week we have been doing this maths challenge on the website Smarttables.app. This website has provided us with this challenge. Over the time of 10 days we have been “climbing” Mount Everest   though we are simply doing maths and practising our times tables.

This was a great experience and I really felt like I had gotten better at my times tables. Not only did we do the 2-12 times tables we also did our 13, 14 and even 15 times tables.  Each day you get a chance to make it to the level you are supposed to be and with each level your class gets to the higher on the mountain you get. After doing this challenge I can see that it was based on progress though after reaching the summit it was all based on the points you have achieved.

Over all a great experience that helped with engagement in maths and learning and memorising more of our times tables.

Task Description: This week in Tupu Maia We worked on the topic contact and out theme was leadership. This week we still had Alicia and Sharlet, but this week we had 2 new activators. Despite this we worked on contact and tackling this session.

For our warm up we did a game of knee tag and another game of shoulder tag. To play knee tag we got into pairs and attempted to tag each other’s knees (not thighs). After a few rounds of knee tag we played shoulder tag. Just like knee tag we got into pairs again and grabbed each other’s wrists (both left and right) and attempted to tag each other’s shoulder by pushing against each other. After this warm up we had our Wairua Check-in. For our Wairua Check-in, we talked about different types of leaders, what leaders we are and what we need to improve on to be better leaders.

For our activities we mainly focused on contact like the skill is. We focused on tackling and learning different types of defence as well. At the end we played a game where we had 4 coloured squares coned out with different colours – Red, white and yellow. In the first round we had to pick a square at first and if they say the colour of the square you are in you have to run to a different one without getting hit with a tackling bag from the taggers.

Overall this session was around contact and leadership which was quite fun like always.

In the weekend I watched the fireworks for long. I slept outside until the fireworks stopped and I was frightened in my tent. The one big one sounded like a monster. I was very scared. I went back inside my home to get under my blanket. Finally I dropped off to sleep.
