It went well because I just have to jump higher in high jump get more force into it and pretend nobodys watching me.

2.  In what event did you most improve your technique? long jump How? because I jumped pretty hard into the sand I slipped one or two times but I tried again.

3. What value did you show on Friday at Athletics most? brave How? because i found the activitys pretty hard because it was hard to jump with my height but I got a lot of high fives for trying.

I showed…..  respect because I was listening to the teacher and not talking over them.    by…. not talking to my friends and sitting quietly.

4. Who else did you notice showing one of our school values (they could be from another class or syndicate)? How? Hollee because she tried all of the activity's and she had a broken foot from a few weeks ago.

This term we have been learning how to play some new rhythms on our bucket drums.

We learnt to play the down beat where we play on each beat, it looks like this:

Then we learnt to play the front beat where we only play on beats 1 and 3, it looks like this:

We also learnt to play the back beat where we only play on beats 2 and 4, it looks like this:

After we had practiced the beats we learnt to play along with some songs.

Insert video here

What do you think is the most important thing to do so that you stay in time when you are playing on the bucket drums? I think I should start at the right time because I have been looking at other things insted of looking at the teacher.

Which song do you think would be good to play the bucket drums to and why? the guy who doe the bucket durming and the song together i think i need to learn more of the ones that he does.

What could you do to improve your bucket drumming in the future? I think I should listen more so then i know the steps because some of the steps are very coveuseing.

passion project.

Teacher approval: My Passion Project title is…  Recycling old into new Who am I working with?  Hollee W I am working with Hollee w What are my big questions to guide my learning? To learn how to recycle old materials into new pillows. How to up cycle old materials without a sewing machine How to make a easy bed material. How to make a small teddy How to make a small t-shirt. I chose this particular topic because….(give three reasons why?) We wanted to do it because we like doing different things. One that would be good to the environment. To do do something different and a little bit harder.   What are some possible ways I could share my learning?  Choose 3 possible ways. 1) present what we made 2) poster 3) slide show What materials will I need to accomplish my task? Glue. Stuffing or pillow. Old clothes or old materials. Old pillows. A small bed with a small blanket What problems do I foresee occurring during this project and what will I do to solve them? When I’m stuck ask your buddy for help. Stay calm and ask the teacher to give you advice on what to do. Wait for a few minutes and start it again. When problems come up, who can I contact for support / assistance? (Mentor) The teacher. Our buddy. A friend. Parents. How will this project help me, my family, the community or the world? If we need pillows we don't have to go out and buy one it would be helpful if were stuck. We would know how to make a pillow out of old materials. To improve on our skills and have a talent if we don't have one.

Japanese puffer fish uses his fins to make designs. The Japanese puffer fish likes rough currents because it has a softer ground to make really nice designs.
