Basketball Reflection

This week I chose basketball for P.E. This was our task for it.

Basketball Reflection

Write down five things to think about when you bounce a basketball.
  1. Feet shoulder width apart
  2. Keep your hands on the ball most of the time
  3. Bounce the ball below the waist
  4. Push the ball down instead of patting it.
  5. Keep your eyes on the ball

What are the main four parts of basketball?
  1. Passing
  2. Bouncing
  3. Shooting
  4. Defending



How can you protect the ball from a defender?
Keep it as close to your hand as possible so you have control.


What was challenging for you?
Dribbling the ball in two hands.

What was your favourite part?
Was getting to practice my shooting. I like it because we got to dribble forward and then take a shot.

What would you have liked to have learned more of?
How the game actually works.

What is something you learned?
I learned to keep your hand on the ball for more control.

Sports

In the weekend I play sports such as netball and canoe polo. Last weekend we won our netball 19-1 against Peterhead. I  played the positions GD, C and GA.  My favourite netball netball player from the silver ferns is Casey Williams because she plays my favourite position GD. Also because she is the captain of the Silver Ferns.



I also play canoe polo in the afternoon. My team is in the top grade. It is really hard to try and stay in your boat when somebody is barging into you. Goalie is really hard to play because we use to be able to be held by a person at the back of you but know that we are used to playing and we know the rules we are not allowed to be held.  That means that we have to paddle ourselves underneath the goal and stay there for the whole game.

Maths




This week we had to do a really hard maths task. It was all about people that biked around and island for 5 days. Sophia, kyra and I had to work together to figure out where they would go each week. We also had to figure out the kilometers they biked.

Monnkyville

This week we had to design a thing that will entertain an animal. I chose a monkey. Here is my design.


Design an animal enrichment toy or feeding system to keep an animal entertained in a zoo. You can present this any way you like.


You should consider:

Who is it for?
Monkeys


How will it work?
The Monkeys will climb up the walls and swing off the ropes  


Who will make it?
Builder that makes playgrounds


Who will maintain it?
Zoo keeper


What are the benefits to your system?
The monkeys will never get bored with so many different things to do.


What are the negatives?
The monkeys could not be able to climb that high and also the ropes could get worn out and break.
