Digtal Tech

                                                                     Digital Tech

During our technology lessons, we have been learning about a variety of different things such as going on a tour around the space and area and looked at how to work different types of tools, we also learned how to make a key tag, watch how the laser cuter work and learned how to use tinker-cad to make our key tags.

We have recently just made key tags using the lazer cutter, we got to create our own design on the computer and then our teacher printed them and then did all the hard work for us.

We use two different apps to create our key tags which are

Feel free to have a look at them and have a play around.

Hurumanu- P.E

Write a post that reflects on how your teams made up their game went. Your post should include:

-The equipment you used

- A brief description of my game 

-What went well 

- What you could improve on / change for next time 

Our game was dodgeball

The equipment we used: we used a dodgeball.

We played a version of dodgeball to where when you get out you have to go to the back.

It went well because it was a really easy and simple game.

Next time we played our game each team would have one frisbee each so when your teammates get out you throw the frisbee to get our teammates back in.

Today in hurumanu we were learning about all different types of guitars. The four different types of guitars are ..... Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Spanish Guitar, and the Bass guitar. We listened to our teacher play the guitar and we sang along to the song that he played. I enjoyed listening to my teacher do the fingerpicking notes and then do the normal notes and cords.

Blog Reflection 

The team game we played was:  Pancake Wars 

For this activity, I rate myself (circle one) 1 2 3 (4)

I gave myself this rating because (describe something that happened that supports the rating you gave yourself).  

-I gave my this rate because I worked well included myself and was always encouraging my team with lots of
positive words and actions.

What was something that was challenging about today’s activity? (in relation to teamwork)

-The most challenging thing about the pancake wars was that when my team only needed two more
“pancakes” the other team started stealing our “pancakes” and then we finally got them
all back and won the game.

How did I overcome this challenge?

By staying positive and guarding the people with the “pancakes” from the other team.

Ki O Rahi

Lately, In P.E we have been learning a game called Ki O Rahi and we had to research,
here is my research.

When you’re playing Ki O Rahi there will be a set time to play in, it will be 4 quarters or 2 halves.
Teams will switch roles of Kīoma and Taniwha at half time or in each quarter. Both teams score
differently Kīoma scores by touching the Pou With the Kī then they run the Kī through to Te Roto
and placing it down in Pāwero/Te Moto. This means they will get points after touching the pou.
If the Kī goes out any team can pick it up. Teams can decide to change the rules before playing
the game, normally they will just keep playing as if it was Tatu. The Taniwha team scores one
point for hitting the tupu which is in the middle of the field. There a several circles which makes
the Ki o Rahi field and they have specific names. The outer ring of a Ki o Rahi field is called Te Ao,
the next ring in is called Te Roto, The next one is Pāwero/Te Motu. There is a little circle around the
Tupu is called Te wairua. 

This is what the field looks like:

The equipment you will need is Kī (ball) Pou (pole/post) Tupu (Barrel) bibs, cones to make
the outlines, you can also use spray paint to make outlines. 

The legend:

One day an enemy tribe from a far off mountains kidnapped Te Ara. Her Abductors casted
a spell on her causing the vegetation to become really dense and impenetrable so nobody
could track where she was. Rahi was very determined to find Ti Ara, with the help of his family
and tribe he built a huge kite and called it Manu Tangata. Before going on his journey Rahi
prepared several “Kī” (Flax Bags) he then filled it up with a large Moa (Extinct New Zealand Bird)
eggs so he can eat something during his journey. Tawhirimatea the god of wind blew Rahi and his
Kite high up in the sky before he gently landed Rahi in the bush. When Ti Ara was being taken
away through the forest she secretly folded back leaves of the silver fern. Which was exposing
the silvery underside of the leaf so Rahi was able to follow the silvery trail that Ti Ara had left.
