KiwiSport | Boxing

LI: Learn the combos using Jab, Cross, Left & Right Hook and Left & Right Uppercut.

This week in boxing we learnt how to do combos.1 Partner used Boxing gloves and the other partner used 2 noodles. Partner 1 (Boxing Glove Partner) Had to punch the 2 Noodles in the Combo Order. The first combos we did were; Jab+Jab+Cross, Jab+Cross+Left Hook and Jab+Cross+Left & Right Hook!

Control Gloves:
Left & Right Hook- For the left you control your glove with firmness and we have to punch with your left hand to the opposite side noodle. Then you do the right side, you punch with your right hand and punch the opposide sided noodle. You need to hook it so it moves from your right hip to the noodle and it's the same with your left, Left hip to Front.

Jab & Cross- These punches are straight punches, Jab is the Left punch and the Cross is the left punch.

Uppercut- Hold the gloves to your cheeks and then pull one back downwards and force them upwards to do a hook. Same with the left, You pull back, Release, Punch!
Control Noodles:
Hooks- To hold the noodle you need a decent space for your partner to be able to punch between the noodles.

Jab and Cross- All you need to do is hold the noodles firm and still and hold your hands in the middle of the noodle.

Uppercuts- Hold the Noodles Horizontally so your partner could punch them from below.

LI: Create a maori poster with the theme of Paikea

This week for Maori We learnt about Paikea and we had to make a poster around Paikea. This is my poster and the Heading under the title "Paikea" Is a Link saying "Story Of Paikea" And when you click that link It will take you to a site to tell you about the Paikea Story and how it began.

Paikea is similar to 'The Whale Rider' Because of the girl and the whale. My poster includes Paikea the whale, The sun, and the Ocean/ Paikea's Territory. In Maori we Learnt about the story 'Clay Woman' that turned into a real woman by a 'Sneeze of Life'. In the story Clay Woman;

 (Summary) Tane wandered his Island knowing something was missing, And as he opened his eyes to a sight never seen before, was a woman of clay. He sat and waited for something to happen, but nothing did. He walked up to the clay woman and let a great big sigh. Within' seconds the figure sprung to life and wandered into the forest. Tane was amazed at this sight and followed. The next day, Tane awoke to a wonderful voice, and saw Hineahuone beneath the trees with creatures all around. "Is this the woman?" Tane thought. "The missing thing in my life?"

Rhymes

LI: To learn about the four types of rhymes. 
This week we learnt about the four types of rhymes. First, we got into groups. In my group, I had Farzana, Bella, and Liletina. After that, we got two pieces of paper and a highlighter.  

There were poems on the pieces of paper. We highlighted which type of rhyme the poems were and we also highlighted the sounds that are the same like see and be. The four types of rhymes is end rhyme, alliteration, assonance, and consonance.

 Once we did that we created a google slide and wrote down the definition of the four types of rhymes, our own examples and Dr. Seuss examples. My group and I decided to add in the links to the four types of rhymes and we also decided to add in the Dr. Seuss stories we used for the example.
