Maori

Today we revised maori words doing a test and a memory game.

First we have to guess the maori question for example kei hea? Where is?

Next we play some memory games where I had to find the same object on the cards for example pene/pen and taupoki/pie.

Last we have a test and guessing the maori question and english question too.

I like this learning becasue it is teaching me how to speak maori.

Balancing

Today we did balancing with the table tennis equipment.

First I have to practice holding the table tennis bat like I'm doing a handshake.

Next I have to bounce the table tennis ball with the table tennis bat. First we have to bounce the front hand grip and my highscore was 42.

Then I have to bounce the table tennis ball with the table tennis bat but back hand grip and I bounced the table tennis ball 45 times.

Last we praticed the drop serve I have to drop the table tennis ball and hit it over the net, we played some table tennis.

This is easy because I got to play table tennis yesterday at lunch.

Balancing

Today we learned balancing with a frissbee when throwing and catching.

First I have to pass the frissbee to my partner but we have to balance when catching it.

Next I have to say go and throw the frissbee for my partner to catch on the chase and after that I have to chase the frissbee when my partner says go.

Last we played ultimate frisbee. I have to shoot the frisbee to the goal thing so we have 1 point.

I like this activity because it helped me learn how to throw the frisbee equipment while balancing.
