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.

My Descriptive writing

This week for writing we had to choose a scene and describe it from top to bottom. We had to use strong adjectives, different sentence starters and a simile.

I turn around and in front of my eyes I see the most amazing scene. The frosty mist hovering over the shiny lake is such a beautiful sight. Trees in the distance are drooping above the mist almost creating a tunnel. From behind the old bridge the sunrise is creeping up. It has the most magnificent colours. The bridge has three semi-circles underneath it. On the top it has fences on the side that would keep the cars from falling off it. Ripples in the lake are from the 2 ducks happily swimming around. At the front of the scene there are three lonely wooden poles standing up straight like a statue. The poles have reflections on the top of the water.   

Street Dance competition

I was in a dance competition a few weekends ago. In prelims we came second and in finals we came first. That means that my crew gets to go to Auckland to dance. I really enjoyed it and wanted to do it again.
