Wananga Reflection

 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.

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

Maze Runner Governments.

Today in Film Study we had to make a poster on the governments in the maze runner.

I learnt the 4 governments an oligarchy, aristocracy, monarchy, and democracy.

What is one thing I wont to know? One thing I want to know is what type of governments the other characters in the Maze Runner are.

Gymnastics

 Today in P.E I learnt how to do a dismount.

How to do a dismount...
1.Place your two hands on the two bars and swing your legs.
2.As you legs swing higher lift them up over the left of right bar and land facing the opposite way that you started off facing.
Next time I want to learn how to do a front roll with no help.

Leadership Styles

Today we have been studying the 5 Leadership styles.  On my slide we had to explain what an Autocratic Leader, Laissez Faire Leader, Participative Leader, Transformational Leader and transactional leader. Here is a google drawing, explaining what each leadership style means enjoy.

I enjoyed making this google drawing because I learnt a lot about different leaders and what type of leader I am.

Business and Enterprise

Hello everyone, for the past couple of weeks we have been planning a business and enterprise day on Wednesday, 23 September 2020.  For our business we are doing a basketball game where you have to try get the shot into the hoop, if you get it you win a bag of lollies but if you miss the shot you don't get anything.  It costs $1 From the 3 pointer, $2 from the free throw and $3 to get a lay-up.

The people in my group are Niko, James and Issac.  All my group has to do next is write a letter asking Mr Hilliard if we can borrow a basketball and use the basket ball hoop.
