HIIT blogpost

Today in HIIT LS2 did their last session of HIIT for the term, Our focus was to improve our flexibility on each of the rotations we did. Today we did 3 rotations of pull ups, push ups and mountain climbers. In these 3 rotations we got into pairs. This was a way of motivating and encouraging our partners to increase the heart rates from green to red. In these 3 rotations I was partner with Ellenora as a pair we worked collaboratively together to help each other step up our game. Thanks to Mr Ogilvie for taking this session with us. 

Multiplication Thinking Game

I have created a Maths game which is based on Multiplicative thinking this game helps you to solve Multiplicative questions and help you understand the maths that is hidden in these questions. On each of these slides their is a correct and incorrect answer. If the question is incorrect their is a link for help that takes you to a video to help explain/show how the Multiplicative thinking strategy works. After you have watched the video their is a button next to the video that shows try again. The try again button will take you to the same slide that you are struggling on. In this game I have written 9 maths questions, that I then showed to some of the students in LS2. After I was completed with my game I asked a few friends to check my game. I also asked them to give me feedback on my game. The only mistake that I needed to change was to link all of the slides. 

Rhythm Interactives visit to PBS

Today PBS got a visit from Johnny a musician who plays the Djembe a special type of African drum. Our visit from Johnny was amazing because everyone got the chance of  drumming,LS2 got to help the younger students how to play the drums and how to get the right beat. Our theme that  we learnt in drumming was (Together we can make a change).  In drumming we listened and followed a rhythm. We also learnt that if you say it you can drum it. I enjoyed the drumming because the drums gave a nice beat and I got the oppitunity to learn about the different types of drums and just to learn some of the beats and rhythms that we did in drumming.  Everyone was  having fun doing the drumming and experiencing about the beats and patterns.Rhythm Interactive

Define 
Djembe is a African drum the meaning of Djembe brings joys we you play it.

Ballet with Chloe

In the middle block LS2 did their first session of Ballet with Chloe from (RNZB) Royal New Zealand Ballet. In this session we learnt the different movements that ballet has to offer. These movements are based on 'Black Swan, White Swan' that is featured in the famous Ballet 'Swan Lake'. Black swan, white swan is a famous show that is performed all over the World. In this session of Ballet we combined some of the movements that we learnt into a collaborative pose. The music that was used in our session was classical instrumental music that is written by Tchaikovsky. 

This gave detail to the movements to give it a theme of the movements that swan lake performs.  

A huge thanks to Chloe for teaching us the movements of Ballet and for taking the oppitunity to take this session with us, A big thanks to Mrs Jones for prepping this awesome lesson for LS2.

This poem is about a Swagman who wants to Apply himself for a Job instead he stole a Jumbuck from the billabong where he escaped from the troopers and sprang into the billabong which is a shade underneath the billabong. 

Collaborative writing task

Dear Million year old police officer,

LI: To write a postcard to a million year old police officer who thinks she's a cartoon character.

I am writing to let you know that being a cartoon character is different than being a million year old police officer. It is crazy to think that women at the age of a million can think that way. But many have their own imagination. I think that your more than just a cartoon character your you and nobody can ever change who you are including yourself.

In Writing Haylee and I worked collaboratively together to create a share ideas about our task. Our task was to collaboratively write a postcard to a million year old police officer who thinks shes a cartoon character. At first we shared our ideas using notes that we wrote down to help us create our postcard. In this task we did 5 minutes of planning, 10 minutes of collaborative planning our story, 30 minutes to collaboratively write our story, 10 minutes reading our postcard out loud, 10 minutes to finish writing and 10 minutes of drafting our work.
