Kiwisport | Boxing

LI: We learned how to uppercut and hook.

This week for Kiwisport, We learned how to move in rock position backwards,forwards and how to uppercut punch and hook. In boxing we were put into partners to practice the feet movement. One partner was the leader and they either could move forward or backward in rock position.

The other partner had to keep distance so that their partner wouldn't touch them. Then we practiced uppercurts and hooks on eachothers boxing gloves and once when one of the teachers stood in front of somebody they had to do an uppercut or hook on the glove they were holding.

This week for kiwi Can Ls1 group A learned about following rules and what rules we must follow. We also learned about what kind of rules we break and if those rules make us happy or if we agree with the rules made.

Today we played Centre ball and Bus stop. To play Bus Stop, there are groups and in those groups you have a piece of paper and a pen. You have the categories: Boy Name, Girl Name, Food,Animal and Colour on your piece of paper and an extra column to count your score. The caller has to call out a letter and you have to write down names,food,animals and a colour starting with that letter. For example if the letter is N, Boy name:Nick, Girl Name:Nicole, Food:Nectarine, Animal: Narwhal, Colour:Navy blue. If groups have the same word then they get 5 points and write it down in the total column. If groups have their own word they get ten points.

This week for Writing I wrote the recount about when LS1 had a trip to the Auckland City Sky tower to learn about its structural details. All of Mr Wong's groups had to write a recount and after writing a full recount about it we had to score ourselves out of 1 to either 5,6 or 7 in structure,punctuation and vocabulary.

We showed our work to Mr Wong and he scored us out of the total. We then had to go back and suggest and fix our own mistakes as the last task for writing.
