🗺️ Digital Map - Cybersmarts 🗺️

IALT: create a map showing the last 24 hours of my digital learning.

This is a bit of a late blog post but that's alright! With cybersmarts one of our tasks were create a map showing the websites we have accessed or been on for the past 24 hours during our school time.

As I went through through my history I only accessed 9 different sites. 

The most enjoyable part of this task for me was working with my peers and classmates in order to get this task completed. We worked collaboratively together and were able to complete the task to the task completed.

My next steps? Are to.. complete all the tasks next time to the standard expected. Because I was quite unsure I wasn't able to find this task as simple, but then as I asked around to my peers, and classmates I was able to find out what I should have been doing with the task given.

🕺Cook Island Dance Practice - Leaders 🕺

IALT: reflect on the strengths and weaknesses we had while this practice.

So for a bit of the morning, and after interval for a while the student leadership team (Student Councils), had some dance practice and rehearsal to do. Since it was Cook Island language week our leadership team was asked to choreograph or create an item in relation to the Cook Islands culture. It was hard but in the end we were able to find a song, and create a short dance going with the song. 

In this rehearsal I think our main weaknesses was working with both genders. It was hard to include both genders, which is why we found it easier to separate into boys and girls, and choreograph our dances before combining our dances into one.

Our main strength in my view point was connecting our idea's with one another's. For example when an 2 individuals had an idea instead of picking one over the other, we thought of ways to combine those two moves together.

Overall, we were able to find that we made a short, entertaining, and relational dance to the Cook Island culture.

Do you celebrate Cook Island language week? & How?

What I would like to work on next time? Involving everyone more often, and making sure everyone's feels safe to give out an idea?!

🎽 Cross Country Run - Fitness 🎽

IALT: find a pace I can consistently move to...

So today our fitness routine changed a little bit. Instead of the usual bike track run, and 2x station fitness we went on a run outside of school. We had to run the block! We started of at the exit and entry gate to the left hand side of the school. We ran past the car entry, around tot eh somerville entry, ran along the tamaki intermediate gate, back up around the foot path along the main road at the walking entry and back into the left hand gate where we first started of.

As we ran a lot was going through my head. For example when I started running I started running with 3 girls from both room 9 and 10. Who were.. Stacey, Frances and Ana. When we ran I realised one of the 4 stayed behind (Frances), but then we all walked and waited for her to catch her breath. We made their as one, and as a group with no team member left behind. But.. one thing that was going through my head when some wanted to leave some member of the team behind was that there was no 'i" in team. I said it out loud and gave the group the boost of confidence they needed.

In the end it was tiring for me but I found that I was able to find the Cross Country run much more easier and less difficult than our usual fitness routine.



Something I wish to work on next time is to.. encourage more of my peers to run for it, and to believe in themselves more.  I hope to see that people will have more of a growth mindset to encourage themselves to keep going no matter what.

The most enjoyable part I find in completing the Cross Country run was starting with a group and finishing, and crossing the line with those very teammates.

If you were to experince this run what would your main highlight be?

🏃‍♀️Fitness Reflection 🏃‍♀️

IALT: set a good example for my younger peers in room 8 to follow.

Now, because room 10 had to attend an important talk based on Food for Thought, which is related to our Inquiry topic last term. Room 8 took their place but before getting started we were put in pairs to lead by example with our room 8 buddies. Ana and myself, were put with Arizona and Alyssa.

We started off with the run, we set a pace we could all the way finding that we were the 2nd group who reached back, being the first girls. As Siale, Gary and their buddy beat us. But I hope to beat them next time (you know?!). Anyways we then moved on to the first station which was squats and step ups. I was so amazed with the speed they had in moving consistently I began to challenge myself. With doing the squats we made sure our shoulders were should qise apart, and made sure when we went down we had a bottoms pushed out, heels staying on the ground, and going down low. Then we went onto the step ups. It was quite boring to be honest, because the steps were wet we had to be very careful in case of tripping, slipping of falling off. It was important to avoid injuries. But anyways, with star jumps and reverse lunges.. We did great well, in my view point. As we did star jumps we jumped high, high fiving both our hand together above our head which was fun and simple. Miss Komor demonstrated what a reverse lunge is which is going back. Kind of like this...

But before we knew it it was over, and time to say goodbye. Honestly, it was fun to do something new, with new and different people. I was able to see what the younger ones of the school were able to achieve! Next time we could compete against classes?

Would you be willing to buddy up with a younger age group to see their capabilities? 

Please leave a comment down below... I hope to get back to you!
