Last Week of Swimming!

Task Description: Last week on Friday  room 9 and room 10 had their last swimming lesson for 2026. To conclude all these lessons we had a survival session based on what we had learned and how to survive in different case scenarios. A few examples of what we did would be, falling into a river, stranded in the ocean and many more.

The most popular scenario was falling into the water. This is because this whole session we were jumping into the water including the deep side of the pool. for the deep side of the pool we had a personal option to wither jump down on the tall side or just go down the ladder. Even if you came down the ladder you would still need to float and put your arm up to signal for help like everyone else. We then had to scull on our back going feet first and head first in the next pool, though this was quite exhausting for your arms.

All of these activities were done to test our abilities after the past 3 lesson they spent teaching us these skills. I can say that swimming this year was an okay experience and that we learned much more.

Respecting People (Kiwi Can)

Task Description: Last Friday in Kiwi Can we followed the value of respect and the topic for that week was respecting people.  The whole session was around this topic, I say this because the energiser and activity all related to respecting people.

As we all may know respecting people can also mean helping other people as well as respecting them. So for our energiser we played help me tag. Help me tag is simply a game where there are 2 tagger tagging people using pool noodles and if you get tagged you sit down but a friend can help you up, which is how it incorporates the topic of respecting people. As for our activity we played dead ant, which connects to the topic similarly to help me tag. To play dead and you have 2 people with pool noodles, a red pool noodle and a green one. The person that holds the red pool noodle is the tagger, while the person holding a green pool noodle is a healer.  If you get tagged by the tagger you have to lay down with your limbs in the air like a dead ant (explaining the name), 4 people then have to come to you and hold one limb each and sing to call for the healer. This game shows integrity and loyalty towards your friends showing respect.

In this session we learned why and how we are important and why we should respect people including ourselves.  Despite this, the Country was also very interesting as this country had languages mixed to make their own language.

CyberSmart- Form

Task Description: In this cyber smart task I created a form/ quiz Called guess the picture. It generally just means to guess what something is called or where it is from. You are able to do places, celebrities and I even added foods and movie sets.

Overall this was pretty fun to make as you can adjust how hard it is to your own will, and you can choose who it gets sent to so if you don’t want silly responses you can send it to people who won’t answer it in that way. While we were making this way we also learned how to make a google form using pictures and choosing between multiple choice or written answer options. I chose a few hard questions and a few easier ones like for example one of my questions were simply guess the celebrity while my other one was guess this celebrity’s most famous role. I made sure I knew all the answers so I could tell if anyone got anything wrong. The one most people got wrong was the Bolshoi Theatre where most people chose Teatro Alla Scala.

Despite the fact I already knew how to make a form I learned how to duplicate a question as well.

Manurewa Fire

Task Description: In this piece of writing I have attempted to explain a recent situation on the Manurewa fire in Euro Car Parts. While writing this explanation, I have learned that car wreckers are common to set aflame because of how many flammable things they have. I have also learned how inhaling smoke can damage our well being.

I have tried to explain the fire in the best way possible and trying not to go off the topic by trying to prove a point. This isn’t the type of topic I would usually want to write about, though my teacher has requested us to write on this so I did. To be fairly specific, she said to write about a man made or natural disaster in Auckland that recently happened. I would want to do the rain incident in Tangiwai though it was in 1953 so that is definitely not recent at all.

While I was writing this piece of writing, I realised that in the current time I was writing it, the cause was unknown. Because the cause was unknown, I wrote a short paragraph about a few possibilities of what the cause could be. Other than this I am pretty sure it is an alright explanation.
