Badminton- Kiwisport
LI: To learn how to front hand serve using the lift serve.This week for badminton we learnt a different skill but with the same instructor- Kevin. The first thing we did was play a warm up game. The warm up game was octopus. In this game there was normally one person in the middle that was the tagger. The tagger in the middle needs to call someone and then that group/person needs to run to the other side. If you get tagged that means you will need to stand still on place and start swirling your arms and tag the others that is coming pass you. After that we did the same thing as last week. We had to get into pairs and start using our for hand to serve and you other buddy catches it. We had to do it 5 times each and then after that we did rally's. Always remember to put your leg that your using to hit with at the front and the other leg at the back. Our new skills was called the for hand lift. In this skill we had to use our for hand and then let our racket move backwards and then hit forward, we did this over a net with our buddy. Everyone practised it until Kevin said stop. The last thing we did was singles ins and outs. It was the same as the other game but this time is was 1 vs 1. 1 person had to verse the other person and the first one to get 1 point wins.

Kiwi Can
This week for Kiwi Can we were learning all about Empathy. Empathy is when your like put yourself into someones shoes. It's also like treating someone how you want to be treated. The first thing we did was play a greeting game. In this game Ms Latoya had to call out a greeting while we do the action, so for example if she said hello we needed to go up to our partner and shake their hands. The last partners to do the action or does the wrong action looses. Next we played a object game. In this game each group used the same object to turn it into something else. So like one of the things we used was a bean bag. My group used the bean bag and turned it into 2 headphones. The group that dosent make anything is eliminated. The last thing we did was GKQ. GKQ was answering questions.

Today Panmure Bridge School had their Athletics day. Athletics is when you play games sports, and more. There was teams- Colour red,green,yellow, and blue. Everybody had to wear clothes that was suitable for running,jumping, and throwing. Each year grade group had a teacher to go with and do one station at a time. The first station that we went to was the egg and spoon race. In this game we had to get into our colour teams. The person at the front needs to have a spoon and a egg. The egg needs to be placed on top of the spoon. When the instructor says go the person at the front needs to zig zag around the cones, walk over a long stick, and then stand on the pad using 1 leg for 10 seconds. Whoever dropped it had to wait for 5 seconds. There was 9 stations to go through. My favourite station was the sponge race. The most think I liked about this was rolling and getting wet. Each team won a session. I would love to give a big thank you to the Tamaki College helpers for helping us out on these events. At the end of this my team-green and team blue had a tie which means both teams won. After lunch it was the finals for sprints. I felt like I was going to finish last because my leg but at the end I came first.

In this game Ms Latoya put 4 hula hoops around the classroom. Ms Latoya had to clap and make a beat, then she had to say a number. When she says the number we need to put the amount of feets in the hoop. The next game we played was a bean bag game. In this game there was attackers and runners. This game was just like a netball game. The attackers had to pass it to their team mates and try and tag us while we were running. The last thing we did was General Knowledge Questions.

Fire Station Visit
LI: To learn more about what Fire Fighters experience. Today the seniors was welcomed to visit the Mt Wellington Fire Station. They taught us really well. I already knew that Fire Fighters worked 24 hours a day. There was a lot of tools that Firefighters use. There was a pump rescue that cut people from cars and to put out fire. In the truck there was a giant toolbox. There were 2 sides that was full of them. There was a huge building where people practised what to do in order to become a firefighter. The routine is like if any of the fire fighters get called they need to get everything on straight away and leave. They have a lot of things to put on and a lot of equipment to carry. The last thing to wear is your gloves and also the face mask to help you breathe air instead of smoke. They said that when they put the mask on they use there controller to turn it on and once it makes a beep sound that's when they start breathing more air. Fire Fighters told us that we use smoke alarms so that when a smoke happens it beeps and alarms us that something bad is happening. If anyone is in trouble and someone is in there call the fire fighter straight away and they will come and sort everything out. If you left your toy or teddy in there do not go back inside and grab it remember leave it there they will get it for you. The most interesting thing I experienced was the types of hoses they use when working. Yell fire fire to alert others that are inside if there is enough time to get out. The last thing to remember get down,get low, and get out.

Scenario Video
LI: To convert the number of chances probability into percentage probability. My scenario was called the pie fraction game. My probability was equal chance because we weren't allowed to do absolute chance because it was 100% percentage. In my game I was the winner but my opponent was the looser.These three videos are a bit similar to each other. My video showed me getting a equal chance to Sakina using pie fraction bars. There was 2 greens and 2 oranges.

Summary
Martin Luther King Jr Speech
What is the main idea about Martin Luther's speech?
Martin's speech it talking about him having a dream.
How it is trying to persuade people?
This video is trying to persuade americans to know freedom should be happening and also wh he is dreaming should be happening in America.
Does this speech have a rhetorical Question?
Yes- So let freedom ring- It's asking us should we let freedom ring or should we not.
Did he use eye contact?
Martin did use eye contact he never read off anything he just kept on looking at everybody while saying his speech.
Was he speaking clearly/fast?
Yes he speak clearly/loudly, but he wasn't talking fast he slowed it down so that others could understand what he was actually telling others.
How it made me change my mind?
All I did was keep on repeating the video because when I first started the video I didn't understand it that much. Afterwards I could listen to him speaking very clearly. It was making me know that it was a dream for him. I changed my mind when he said that And if America is to be a great nation this should become true. There were many keywords and phrases that made me change my mind. It made me feel different emotions when watching it. It made me feel sad when he said that his four children will one day live in a nation where they will not judge by the colour of their skin.
LI: To understand how to deliver a speech/What techniques can be used when speaking. This week for writing we did speeches. First we had to get into our groups and then after that we had to discuss which speech we were going to summarise about. I decided to pick Martin Luther King Jr. His speech sound really interesting. For this activity I had to create a summary including the main idea about the speech, how are they trying to persuade people, and then good things about them. I used a google document to note everything down.
