Kiwisport (Cricket) Reflection

This week (today) we went to kiwisport which was cricket. We were focused on hitting the cones and wickets and batting balls on the ground. I first started on hitting the wickets by throwing the ball and hitting cones to put onto the wickets. We then did it again, but after we hit all of the 4 cones, we had to then hit the wickets to win. We came 2nd and then moved onto batting. I started the batting first by hitting one ball on the ground and then the second one and running and getting points (scoring runs). Then the next person has a turn and you can only try to get the balls after the second one is hit. The highest amound of runs was 20. We then got into a cirlce and practiced catching the ball and passing it back as fast as we could without droping the ball. I got out after not catching the ball. The last person standing was my friend Makaili. I enjoyed this lesson and can't wait to practice our bowling.

Tennis Week 4

Today for tennis we were practicing our volley wit our rackets. A volley is when you lean forward and slightly hit the racket so that the ball gently goes to the other side of the net. I compared the difference from me to the profesional tennis player. There was 4 differences in this comparing. The racket, body, legs and arms. I was almost the same as the professional tennis player. On the day we also practiced our volley hitting and trying to keep vollying. This week was fun and next week we are going to be practicing serving.

Swimming Session 3

Yesterday at swimming we were learning how to breath when your in the water and we were practicing our streamline and free style. We first made our safe entry into the pool and started off with our stream line. Next we did free style back to the start. Then we used the kick boards to swim to the end and back. We then practiced how to breath in the water, but I wasn't able to do this because I strugle on going to my side and getting my head out of the water so that I can breath. This session was great and now I look forward so going there agin and try to breath in the water next time.

Gymnastics Lesson 4

This week at gymnastics we learnt about trying new things and giving everyting a go. My group (Sandra, Mele, Fui, Victoria, Pua, Julian and I) were starting at circut 2. We had the beam which we had to walk backwords, walk forwards and jump up, The forward roll on the lower beam, cart wheels and forward roll off the stage onto a buch of mats. I tried everything, but didn't manage to do a proper cart wheel. Next we went on to circut 3. Circut 3 had the activites spring board forward, trampoline, backword roll. I tried all of them and completed them all. Lastly we went on to circut 1. It had these activities wall stand, swing stairs and two more activities that I forgot the name of. I found the cart wheel challenging and I had a lot of fun.

Kiwi Sport (Gymnastics) Week 3

L.I to learn how to do multiple activities using your body

This week at Gymnastics we had fun taking part in these activities: Forward roll, Backward roll, Cart wheels, Beam balancing, Building strength and Bouncing. All those activities were set in circuits. Circuit 1 was: Building strength. Circuit 2 was: Beam balance, Cart wheels and Forward rolls. The last Circuit (Circuit 3) had: Spring board, Bouncing, Hand stand and Backward rolls. We were set into rotation groups so we don't get mixed up and confused. Our group first started at Circut 2. I tried all the activites on circuit 2 and the goal was to try every activity on every circuit if you can. Then we moved on to circuit 3 where I found my favorite actvitiy which was the bouncing. I did try every activity on this circuit. Lastly we moved on to circuit 2 our last set of activities. I wasn't able to try every activity sadly. I didn't bother going on the stairs activity because I knew I wouldn't be able to even complete it. This week I really enjoyed doing Gymnastics because this time I found more than 2 activities that I really liked and wish were there the whole time.

Kiwi Sport WK5 T1

This week at Ki-o-rahi we learnt about Ki oma. We learned about how Ki oma kicks the ball to start and if the taniwha catch the ball then Ki oma starts to run and touch the po. First we started off with Ki oma kicking off then we played golden child. Then we played another game. We won both games. This time I got to be the guardian to stop the taniwha throwing the bal at the rock to stop our team from running. I think we had a lot of fun this session.

Before we went outside we watched a video about The Legend Of Rahi. The legend of rahi was about a man called rahi who had his wife taken off him, but later on in the story he finds her.

Last Swimming Session

This week was our wals week of swimming. We started off with our sequence which was 5 things that we learnt. My sequence was: Streme line, free style, sculling and back floating. Most people forgot to make a sequence so our instructor made one for us. It was: mushroom float, T, Streme line and Free style. I forgot it so our preffesional swimmer who use to do swimming lessons: Matthew went first so I knew what to do. Next was to free style to the end, Treat water for 30 seconds then free style back. Last we had to dolphin dive to the end of the pool and high five our instructor and thank them for our last session.

Swimming WK 9

This week for kiwi sport we were doing: Sculling for 3 mins and treating water for 3 mins. We first started off with the board doing streamline. We had to kick with our board straight with our head in the water. Then we tried it with no board and it was easy.

Next we had a challenge to do and it was to try to scull in the water for 3 mins. It was kind of hard because my legs and arms were hurting from the power I was using with my body. After that we had another challenge which was treating water for 3 mins. It was harder than sculling for 3 mins because we have to move our arms opposite and move our legs opposite. It was hard because we had to not touch the floor. Some people had to use the noodles because they couldn't keep their legs up.

Lastly was a sequence. We had to think of 5 things to do to get to the platform and back. We all taught it was to hard so our instructor said that we only had to choose 4 to do. I came up with: Stream line, sculling, floating and Free style to there. Then we did it but back to where we started.

The last thing we did was to listen to our instructor to give us her to give us 4 things to do which was: Mushroom float, T, stream line and Free style. This weeks swimming session was great because of the sequence of doing 4 things there and back.

Swimming WK 8

This week for swimming we had a new instructor called: Geoffrey. We first started off with a board and we done hand strokes with the board. Next we done it without the board. 2nd To last we were having 3 noodles and doing: Over, Under, Over. Then Over, Over, Over and finally: Under, Under, Under. Lastly for this session we done a game / race. We had to answer the questions and get 3 toys. This week was also fun.

Swimming WK 7

This week for swimming we were having a competition . We had to try to stay in the water not touching the ground sculling for 3 mins, and not touching the ground doing anything for 3 mins. We were sited because our legs were saw when were treating water. I managed to hold in 3 mins and won. That was quite hard. Then we did jumping in the water. Today was lonely but cool.

Kiwisport

This week for kiwi sport we had our 3rd swimming lesson. We first talked about currents then we swam. We had fun.

Swimming WK 3

This week for kiwi sport/ Swimming we were learning about back stroke & Head up while swimming. It was quite easy tho because I was a quick learner. YMCA teaches people how to swim and water safeties when you are in the water. I have been to a different swimming class in a different suburb in Auckland. That's why I went strait to Level 3. We also learned about the differences between Hypothermia & Hypermedia. Hypothermia is when the temperature is cold and you start to shiver. Hypermedia is when you get to Hot.

But the one thing you shouldn't do is make your self go from one temperature t the other too fast because your heart will get a shock of the new temperature and Stop pumping and you'll die. So the easiest way to make someone recover is to if your cold get something warm at first to make them cold to warm slowly and the same as hot get some ice and a cold shower after to calm yourself with the water then you can warm yourself up again. That's all I have for you today and thanks for viewing me blog.

Swimming WK 2

This week for kiwi sport we had our 2nd session for swimming. I was starting at lvl 2 as always but then I was surprised because I was doing perfect arm strokes then I got told to move to the Top level which is lvl 3. I was very happy but Level 3 was quite easy. We were learning to go dive under and then go up and start to stroke. We had fun doing this. I hope that I stay in level 3 for the rest of our swimming sessions. I was so happy I wanted to cry but I didn't so I just tried to stay calm and do my best to stay at lvl 3. I enjoined that.
THANK YOU YMCA PANMURE POOLS.

Kiwi Sport ( LAST SESSION )

This week for kiwi sport we went to the hall for our last session with hamish. We played a rugby game for the whole session. We came 1st because we ( TEAM 4 ) won all our games ( TEAM 1 ) came 2nd,
( TEAM 3 ) Came 3rd and ( TEAM 2 ) Came last / 4th place. We had fun and we were blue. We thank hamish for teaching us rip pa rugby.

Kiwi sport 2nd to last session

This week we (GROUP B) went to the court to hamish for our 2nd to last session of rip pa rugby. We learnt how to pass back word and how to rip when people step you. Then we played a game of 2 team octopus, where you have to have 1 team ripping and 1 team running. The running team has to get passed the rip pa's 6 times then they win but if the ripping team rips everyone then they win and if you get ripped your out and you stand to the side. Then teams switch to running and ripping. After that we had a game of real rip pa rugby. Where we have to use all of our skills learnt in this session to score as much points as possible. We finally came first out of all the teams because everyone in our team contribute in this game and never gave up. Everyone payed attention and closing those gapes not letting anyone go past and score points. When I had the ball I passed it to a girl then she passed it to Andrew then Andrew passed it back to me then a stepped Sione T and scored our team points. We had to get as much points as possible and our team got 7 points.
We had fun at this session and now I am looking forward to our last session next week to learn new skills.
