Grasshopper Tennis Sample

WALT: Impove our small ball skills like catching, throwing, and hitting.

We have been participating in a tennis programme with Big John (John Salisbury) from Tennis Manawatu. He has taught us some tennis skills that help with controlling and hitting the ball 

What are you most proud of and why? I am proud of all the skills I have learned and practedisted.

What challenged you the most and Why? What challengened me was when we did some of the games like temple tap down and lobster.

Next time, what is a goal you can work towards? Maybe next time I could practice at home so I could get better at temple tap down. 

Why? We are doing this because then we can review our skills and show what we can so to our parents.

What? We did lessons every Thursday and keeper going for like 5 or 6 weeks.

How? We did our lessons with big John at the court.

What I Learned? What I learned was that it's best to hit the ball at a angle.

I think that next time I need to practice doing two bounces and then hit it over the net. 

Feedback I think that you did a good job expian it.

Feedfoward Next time you should make the picture clearer.

WALT Rote learn our spelling of by heart

Why? To show a strategy to help us with our spelling words, to share during our Student Led Conference.

What? We did mnemonics to help us with our spelling.

How? By learning how to write a mnemonic so we can use them to help us with our spelling.

What I learned? That mnemonics are words using the first letters of another word to form a sentence and that helps us remember them. Eg: Said : Scott Ate Isaac's Dog

I think that I did a good job on the mnemonics but I could add a few more words but otherwise I think I did a good job and I would give myself a 9 out of 10.

Feedback Mitchell I think you did really well at explaining what you did and how you did it.

Feedforowd Maybe next time you could change the fonts and colour a little bit on you poster so people can read it more easily.

I think I will give you a 8 out of ten.

Statistics

For this task we had work out the mean median mode and range.

I think I need to learn to be more accurate when adding big numbers and also remember that the mode is the number that comes up the most. Also I need to learn more about the median and how to work it out.

Caving

There was a dim glow in the gaping black hole that was waiting to sallow me up. Glow worms swarmed the walls like an army. I knew that If I was too loud they would tun of there light. I dragged my feet across the damp ground. The cave was as black as the night sky.

Russell then the perent that was in charge of caving suddenly wispered " Turn of your lights and listen." I heard a sound up on the roof. What is it? I thought. I stared up at the roof and saw 5 cave wetās looking down at me. As I passed them I came arcoss a small lake and saw the water  bubbling and swrling. Is that a fish I wondered. There in the water was a fresh water crayfish. It seemed to stare at me for a second but when I pointed my torch at it slithered away behind a rock. My foot splashed in the ice cold water of a puddle.

I squeezed pass narrow corridor of stone. I shined my light to the left and saw a low ledge then we squeezed pass another corridor of stone. Then everyone in front of me stopped Russell said that we had to crawl in the ledge of stone. Everyone started to crawl thought lf we were in an army. Every 30 seconds or so I would have to go lower. The water soaked my knees and my shoe was bursting with water. When we got out I was as wet as the ocean. We had a cookie and then Russell asked" Who wants to do that agian not the crawling bit." I raised my hand. We went back inside and and explored the dirty damp dusty cave. I found lots more cave weāts. Lots of them. Finally we got out of the cave and I felt the suns rays shine like plasma beams on my back warming it.

Task the task was to create our own pepeha with the sentences giving.
This is my pepeha.

Goals

W.A.L.T: Set smart goals.
For this task we had to think of two goals for camp that we want to achieve. We did this task because we are going to highland home camp next Tuesday. Here is a exsample of one that nic did.

These are my goals.

1.I aim to always learn new things. I have chosen this goal because I like learning new this and also I think that alerting new things are fun.

2.I aim to encouraging people to have a go at activities like if they are scared on the rock climb I want to try and encourage them to have a go.

Here is a link to another exsample on the class blog.

Poutama Rama blog

I achived my first goal always learn new things. I learnt that air rifle bullets go blunt after you used them and will not shoot properly if you try to shoot them agian. I picked this goal because there is so much to learn about and if you are not going to start now then when are you going to start learning? I also picked this goal because if you keep learning the same thing you get nothing out of your work.

I achived my second goal to encourage people. I did this by encouraging Ross to go down the abseiling tower when he was scared and wouldn't go down. I picked this goal because people can get scared when They are doing, some activates but all the team has to do is, encourage them to try again.

Comment: I like how you had some examples of how you  competed your goals
