Today I will be talking about what I have done in P.E. For the past couple of weeks we have been practising for athletics. In the first 30 minutes of P.E Mr let me and a couple other student practice high jump while some people went outside and practised sprinting. When I was doing high jump I could only jump over the bar when it was 1m 30cm high. Then after doing high jump I went outside and practised doing sprints with the blocks for the first time. Then when we had a race and the loser had to do 10 push ups.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Music Through Time
In Social Studies we have been studying music through time.
Spirituals are different types of genre. For example soul, RnB, Rap, rock and roll and gospel. Spirituals were used by slaves since 1600-1895 and are still used today. Slaves used spirituals to communicate and to help them find a way to attack the slave owners or to find a way to escape.
Who is Harriet Tubman?
Harriet Tubman was a slave that helped thousands of slaves escape. She lead the slaves through secret pathways called the Underground railroads, to get them out of the slave state.
This song is called Wade In The Water. The hidden message in this song. Is to get in the water when escaping. So the slave owners dog doesn't sniff you or the trail that your on.
Here is the link of the song. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wade+in+the+water+harriet+tubman
