Ellen DeGeneres

In CIP last week, we were doing a sheet activity. We had to pick a celebrity or other famous people who you think helps change the world or maybe doing kind things for others. I picked Ellen DeGeneres because Ellen DeGeneres is one of my favorite persons around the world. She is a American Comedian, Television Host, Actress, Writer and Producer. Ellen DeGeneres is a very funny, talented and always a kind person. Ellen inspires others to always be kind to one another. I really like watching some of Ellen's videos, and also watching her TV show.

Digital Technology Hurumanu

In Digital Tech 7/8 Tz and Bh have been working in groups, or working individually. Our group members, Paige, Hamid, Charlie, Shanarnia and I have been creating a maze. Our topic is Pollution and so all of us decided to create a map, with birds somewhere in the maze and we are going to be using the Sphero, and it has to go through the maze and help all the birds in our maze that we have created. The reason why we have chose Pollution is because, Pollution is one of the major environmental problems in New Zealand. And more than 2 million children under the age of 5 die every day due to pollution.
So that is why we are encouraging others to stop littering, because it is not good for the environment and it can lead to Air Pollution which is sometimes dangerous for humans.

For our maze we drew bushes around the maze, and added birds somewhere in the maze, so when the Sphero goes around the maze it can collect it, so it's basically just playing Pacman. Then we colored the bushes in green. After doing that, we then started to draw lines for the maze, we made sure there were birds somewhere in the maze, so it can collect the birds.

PE Hurumanu

In PE hurumanu we have teams and each team had a sports they were gonna teach the class. My team is sticky rice. Our team chose soccer because soccer is one of the popular sports and it's also a fun sports to play with others. In my opinion our lesson was very successful because all our group members helped do something and made it easier and faster to play the game. My role was helping others in my team with the warm ups and also getting the students into a group, so all groups are even. The thing that I think we would do different next time is maybe the drill, because not everyone was doing the drill properly.

 The things I learnt about soccer was to always share the ball with others, and spreading out and not just always going where the ball is, and also working together as a team to get the ball in the goal. One thing I liked about this hurumanu is how we get to play different kinds of sports and how we are always competitive,and just always having fun.
