PE – Rippa Rugby

We revised rippa rugby skills.

First, we revised passing the ball. When you are passing a rugby ball, you need to have your dominant hand behind your non-dominant hand, then you need to aim to pass at the person’s chest.

Then we played a relay race. We needed to pass between 3 people, pass a line, and then go back doing the same thing. Once you get back to the other people in the line, you need to pass the ball to the next person so that they and 2 other people can do the same thing. Once your whole side has a turn, you need to sit down.

Lastly we played King of the Rips, To play this game, you need a clear area. Once you have a clear area you need to have 2 teams of 3. Then the 2 teams need to try and rip each other’s tags. If somebody rips both of your tags, you are out. You can also get out by stepping out of the boundary line. To win, your team needs to be the last ones standing.

I enjoyed this because I like to play Ripa rugby, and I play for a club. I think that I could try to pass lower, because I pass people’s heads sometimes. I am good at being passed to, and running with the ball.

Making Connections

I revised about the three different types of connections. We revised text to self connections first. We read a text called By the River, and make text to self connections.

HPE | Dodgeball

Today we played dodgeball with kelly sport.

First, we played jedi dodgeball. First coach Lucas explained the rules. In jedi dodgeball, the jedi had a pool noodle, and had to go around touching your team with the noodle if they were out. If you we’re a jedi and somebody hit you, you would be out unless you were standing in your teams mat. When I was the jedi, I helped all of my team mates, and our team won 2 rounds of jedi dodgeball.

Next, we played elimination dodgeball. In eliminaton dodgeball, if somebody threw the ball at you but you caught it, they would be out, and you would stay in. While we were playing elimination dodgeball, our team won most of the rounds.

Lastly, we played traditional dodgeball. In traditional dodgeball, you were allowed to catch the ball if somebody threw it at you, but if you got out you had to sit in an ordered line, because if your teammate caught somebodys ball on the full, then the person at the front of the line could go back in. During the last round of traditional dodgeball, coach Lucas said whoever wins, wins the whole session of dodgeball, and my team won!

I enjoyed playing dodgeball. I did good at dodging everyone who tried to throw a ball at me. I need to improve on catching the balls so that I can stay in the game longer.

HPE | Revising American Football

We  revised AFL skills.

First, we revised throwing and catching. When you throw a AFL ball, you need to face sideways, hold the ball with your finger on the third lace, reel your hand behind you head and use your other arm to aim where your throwing.

Next, we played down down down. To play down down down, you need a partner. Once you have a partner you need to pass the ball between eachother. When somebody drops the ball, they need to loose a limb. For example. if I dropped the ball once, I would need to get down on one knee.

Lastly, we played cone drop. To play cone drop, you need to have a set of three or more cones. Then you need to get into  3 or more groups. Then, everybody needs to try and knock the cones down untill there are none left.

I didn’t enjoy this because I don’t like AFL. I think I need to try and not throw the ball too hard. I am good at catching.

Te Reo

With Whaea Odie, we revised adding numbers togeather in te reo, and the question ” ho mai?”

First Whaea Odie showed us all the cards, and how to say them in maori. For example. If she showed us a card with the number 10, we had to say 10 in te reo, wich is Tekau.

Then, we had to ask eachother “ho mai?” Then a two didgit number in te reo, that was under 40. Once somebody asked you for a number, you had to hand it to them and say “anei.”

Lastly, she would ask us “Ho mai…” which means,  give me. Then, we had to give her the number that she asked us in maori, shown on the cards. When we gave her the card, we had to say “Anei”, thats means here.

I enjoyed doing this, becuase I got to learn more numbers in maori. I think that I got better at saying the numbers. I need to improve on remembering to say “anei.”

Identifying Ties

The structure of an explination is ties.

The purpose of an explination is to tell people how something works. The T in ties stands for title, I stands for introduction, E stands for explain, S stands for summary.

The language features of a explination are third person, present simple tense, and cause and effect words. Some examples of cause and effect words are if,when,becuase, and so.

An explanation tells people how something works or what it does. An explination can be of an orginisation, a thing, or a machine.

 

 

Stepping

Today we practiced stepping for Ki o Rahi.

First, we watched a demonstration of somebody stepping. When you step, you need to run up to your opponent. Then you need to put one foot to the side, but then actually step out and run the other way.

Next, we did a stepping relay. First we had to get into 4 teams. We needed to step two cones, then run and touch the wall, and step the same two cones again. The point of the game was to be the first team sitting down to win.

Lastly, we played mini octopus. Mini octopus is just ocotomus but in a smaller square, so you have to use your stepping skill. When you tagged somebody, they had to act like they were stuck in the mud. The only way to get un-stuck was if somebody crawled under your legs.

I enjoyed this activity. I think that I need to try and get faster at stepping. I think that I did good at stepping.
