dodge-ball

Dodge-ball

This week we  have been playing different types of dodge-ball. 

The equipment for dodge-ball you will need at least 15-20 cones,

15-20 balls, and a bench on the side for the people who get out. 

How to play dodge-ball?

Have the same amount of people of each side to make the teams fair, 

have the cones and balls in the middle with the ball on top of the cones then once the referee or teacher or someone blow the whistle to start the game everyone runs up to the middles and try grab the ball and aim for the other team. 

How to get the other team out?

You have to catch the ball on the full or either hit the other players with the ball.

3 clever tips for dodge-ball?

1st one is to try and avoid the ball and dodge the ball.

2st one is you could use the ball in your  hand to hit the other ball to stop it from hitting you. 

3rd one is if you are a good catcher then you could catch the ball on the full and get the other team out. 

Here is another way to play dodge-ball. 

1. 2 teams standing on the bench.

2. Run in on whistle to get the ball.

3. Reset back to green line before throwing the ball. 

4. You get " out " by being hit on the full ( no bounce ) with a dodge-ball.

5. You can also get someone out by catching their ball on the "full".

6. When you get out you move to the opposite side of the gym.

7. To get back in your team mate has to throw you the ball & you catch it or hit the Bball hoop.

8. NO face shots! 

9. Be honest! 

Tapu Ae

Tapu Ae 

What is Tapu Ae? 

Tapu ae is a traditional Māori ball game. It is an adaptation of ki-o-rahi to a court game, and was formalised about 1900. Today it is played on a hard surface such as a netball court. The court consists of two sides where players pass the ball aiming to knock the block in the middle of the two sides over.

What are some off the basic rules?

Step 1:  Set up your 2 teams of 7 players

Step 2:  Set up the cones on the court and put the 6 tennis balls on the cones of each of the 2 halves of the court. Set up the power/ the zone around the ki. 

Step 3: At each end of the court set up the 3 cones with the tennis balls on top, these are the tupu or targets.

Step 4: Make a circle with 6 more cones around each tupu one at each end of the court.

Step 5: Set up 3 third of the courts with 18 cones. 

Step 6:  Find out what position you are playing  

Step 7:  Start playing and try to learn new goals to improve.

What was your role in your team for these games?

My role was the warm up coach. I had to make sure my team was warmed up and did some excises and stretches before we start the game. 

What did you enjoy most about the game?

I enjoyed getting out and playing and having fair teams and the teachers choosing the teams instead of us choosing them ourselves. I like versing other teams and having a competition. 

What were some of the drawbacks that you can think of?

Wouldn't move around enough, some was just talking and not interested in the game at all. 

What could your team do better next time you play?

I think my team could do better next time, for us to all spread out and give everyone a chance with the ball and not just talking to mates and actually be interested in the game. 

Revolution Tour

Revolution Tour 

• What was the best thing about the tour? 

That we got the opportunity to hear a story about another person life and how they grew up, and also got to see the dance and play different sort of games with the Revolution Tour.  I liked how Reggie talked at the end about his life story and what hes been through and never judge someone with out knowing there life story or what there been through. 

• What did I learn from the Talk?

That never judge someone with out knowing there life story or what there been through, and if someone getting picked on or bullied then stand up for them. Don't just stand back and watch or you become the problem. 

• How did I feel after the talk?

It was a very emotional and upsetting talk, just listening to someone story and hearing everything there been through and imaging if I had to go through that at my age, but also knowing that just by looking at someone you can't tell what there been through or what they are going through.

CIP- Take notice - Gratitude

Gratitude 

Today we have been looking at what gratitude means. 

First we watched 2 videos of what it meant, and then we planned together what we thought it all meant. After that we had to make a poster about 10 things we are grateful for in life.

Gratitude means  being thankful and that you show kindness back to others.

We got into a group and talked about what we though Gratitude meant. 

We came up with these ideas, 

It improves your sleep

Improves your brain

Positive thoughts, being grateful you think negative thoughts less

You’ll be happier

Writing it down on a notepad, apps

Celebrate the little things

At night - because you sleep better

Here is my poster I made for the things I am grateful for.

Giving and Receiving

Giving and Receiving 

We watch a video basically about act of kindness, and showing and telling us that to be kind to others and we would get kindness back to us. 

The video was about, there was a young boy it was his birthday his mother and himself went to buy the young boy a cake for his birthday.

The mother saw the price of the cake and looked how much money she had and saw didn't have enough to pay.  There was a man in the shop and he overheard the mother say she 

couldn't pay for the boys cake he wanted for his birthday. 

So the man deiced he would so something kind and brought the boy the cake and went and gave it to him and he said " Happy birthday " The mother asked for the man 

address so she could pay him back but the man wrote on the note " a simple act of caring an endless ripple it will come back to you " 

The man walked out of the shop before the young boy could even say thank you. 

Many years came and we came back to the same situation and the young boy who had the note he got given. There was a young girl wanting to buy her grandpa a cake for his birthday but the grandma couldn't afford the cake and the man overheard and did the same thing for the girl, and brought the cake and gave it to the young girl with the note and he promised the girl when she older to always do something kind to another person. 

The young girl got home and gave the cake to the grandpa then handed him the note

and the man realised that it was the note he gave to a young boy when he brought the cake and the kindness came straight back to the man.

I noticed that if you do something simple and to kind to someone else even if you don't know them that you will always get kindness back to you and if you treat someone how you would like to be treated then you would get treated nicely as well. 

The kindness boomerang was the man did something nice for the young boy and brought him the cake and the boy repaid that kindness with doing the same for the young girl but not realising that it was for the man who did the same for the boy. 

The man took notice when the note came back to him in the end and the man looked at the note and realised that it was the same note he gave to the boy. 

I thought about the video that it was very thoughtful and to not judge someone if they can't buy something as they might not have the money but being kind to others no matter what and you will always recessive kindness back.
