My Multiple Intelligence Results

This week Room 22 have been learning about the Multiple Intelligences.  Ms T showed us a site that showed us what weaknesses and strengths we have.  My main strengths are: Music smart, people smart and body smart. My weaknessess are Nature and picture smart, word smart, number smart and Myself smart, those are the main things I will be working on.

Badminton

Two weeks ago we were invited to take a few lesson’s of badminton. The instructor that was teaching us came from the Auckland Badminton Club. Our instruction’s we were given were to grab one of the racket and made a circle around the hall.

The first lesson we were going to do for the day was to control the movement of the shuttle.

Once we made a circle around the bin we all grabbed five shuttles each and went back to our circle. Laureen our instructor told us to try and hit every shuttle in to the bin. “Yes” screamed people whacking shuttles in to the bin. We only scored one point but on the second game we scored six points and won. The second lesson we learnt was some tricks with our racket.

Our third lesson was for two people in a group so we all paired up. Once we had our groups one of the people in your groups has to grab a cone and the other has to grab a shuttle and a racket. The person that has the racket has to hit the shuttle in the air and the person with the cone has to catch it and make the shuttle land in the cone.

Our forth activity we done was to have a game with our partners in our groups. We had to try and have a game with out making the shuttle hit the ground. “dam” playing badminton was pretty hard but we tried our best.

I really had fun. I really cant wait to have another try at badminton.

Design Process for furniture.

Design Process
:Designing Furniture



A few weeks ago room 22 have been identifying problems around the street. One of the main problems we are working on now is the furniture in our street. The reason why we choose furniture is because we would really like a little place where we can relaxe and do our work in a quite place near our class.

Everyone in my class have been researching ideas for different kind of furniture such as couch’s(to sit on), hangers(for bags), Tables (to put our net books on while we are working) and shelves(to put our shoes on).

We will be visualizing and modifying where and when we will be creating the perfect place for our class. But first we will need to research different idea’s and then create prototype’s of what we will be making. You can be in a group of 2(max) or either work by your self.

We have 3 weeks to complete out task. On the first week we will be needing to be finishing finding different ideas. For the second week we will be needing to measure the approximate measurements for the length and width for our prototype of out design. And on the final week we would have finish our prototype.

Once we finish our prototype we need to evaluate and reflect on our design. We might need to modify and adjust the length and hight or we might need to change the shape and be creative. For an example i changed my table holder because if i made a straight holder it wouldn't of held the base of my table.

Rugby League Session Slideshow

A few weeks ago room 22 was invited to attended some rugby league sessions.

Rugby League Session.

Yesturday our class went out for a cool session of league. The time was 10:00am and we all had to get dressed to go out and have some fun. So we lined up and walked to the junior court.
Sio Siua Taukeiaho(Our coach) put us in four even groups.
Once we were put in to those groups we all had to line up in a straight line and sit behind a cone. Once we were all seated we had a relay to see what team can come first. “Ready set go” Siua shouted out. The first person in our group ran around the cones then sprinted back. “No” Shouted our team we had lose Team 4 came first.”Ohhh” Shouted everyone as siua said that the race was only a practise. An adrenaline rush pumped throw my vanes to come first in the relay. We had two more games to play the second game we played was the same as the first relay we done but it was different. Our team mates were the cones so we had to run around each person then sprint back to the finish line.

Science Roadshow

Science Roadshow...

On Thursday the 9th we attended the science roadshow at Tamaki college. Once we entered the hall there were two scientists waiting to assist us through the process of exhibits. They showed us about our senses such as our touch,taste,smell,sound and our eyes.

After learning about our senses we all got to roam and test out the amazing inventions that we're set out around the hall. There were different kind of topics that explained each invention such as detection(radiation), heat(colour,fire), communication(phones), levers, gears, inclined planes(piano, metal detector), sound(bird songs), quirky curiosities(skeleton).

So heres a picture of one of the things i liked.

Swimming Lesson's

Every Day for two weeks at approximately 1:15p.m. Team 5 have been learning how to swim at our local pools Glenn Innes.
We learned this in case there is an emergency that involves us at sea. We have been taking lessons of what to do at sea in case something bad happens such as drowning from walling off a boat. We mostly learnt freestyle.

Ms Tito gave us a challenge. The challenge was that we have to swim back and forth for 600meters with out touching the ground it was a difficult task but most of the students succeeded.

I really like swimming because its fun and active for every age. Next year I am hoping to attend swimming again.

Here is were we swim.
