Urumanu Playback

  Reflection Blog from our modified sports

What sport were you presenting?
My group and I we were presenting different fun ways and strategies 

What modifications did your group make, and why?
Our team (football team) we came up with two ways or two modifications of how to play, learn or modify Football. Football was still played the basic such as the ball must stay on the ground and it must be passed by kicking and we're not allowed to touch the ball unless it goes out of the boundaries then someone can only throw the ball back in.

One of the rules was that if your team score, the person who scored has to nominate one player from the opposite team, and they can either wait out (and support their team) or they have to go and wait patiently at the back of the the other team and wait for one of their team member to kick the ball to them and they have to catch it on the full, then they are allowed to come back in and play.

What went well?
What went well was that both teams (Ds and Sh) were both competitive and each team played by set rules and also they made sure that everyone in their team at least had a chance of playing even if they didn't want to play.

What would you change?
I would change how when I was trying to give out instructions or trying to explain to the opposite team how to play and some of them were constantly talking and yelling at each other, I think we need to work on how to show respect to each other when we are talking. 

By doing this as a leader never try to talk over someone that is constantly talking you can just wait patiently until you get their full attention.

If you disagree with someone's idea, don't yell at them and say their idea is not good enough just kindly say to them that you think that their idea can be improved by .... and then tell your idea. That is a way better way instead of trying to debate who's better. 

We needed to make a rule where people are not just sitting around and everyone if fully committed to playing Football.

What were the difference between your first and second sessions?
There was a huge improvement in our second sessions such as, we had more time to play the game instead of trying to get everyone's attetion while showing them how to play

The majority of us were fully committed to the sports we were learning how to play

some of us were finally listening to each other's ideas and showing each other respect

Reflection: Am I a leader? Why/Why not?
I think I am a leader, because I was able to listen to each other's idea and leading the group, and if we needed to solve a problem that I don't do it by myself and that the whole group takes responsibility.

Playback Urumanu

What did you do on Tuesday?
For Urumanu on Tuesday we had a game of Multi-ball where we played different ball games such as Basketball, Football, Netball and Rugby within 2-3 minutes. After that we got into our sports team I was in the Football team and we had to discuss within our sports group of two different ways to teach the rest of our Urumanu Class how to play Football. 

Within your sports group what worked well?
In our Football Sports group I think what worked well was that our whole group contributed and we all had amazing ideas to modify Football.

What do you need to change for next time?
For our Football Sports team I think what we can work better on for next time is that we need to listen carefully to each other's ideas and be respectful with each others opinions. But we will work good as a team.

What are you looking forward to when your present?
I'm looking forward that the rest of the class or the group of students that we are going to teaching that they understand the ideas of ways we have came up with to play football, also that we have a successful game of Football, also that we enjoy it and everyone follows set rules.

Here is a throwback photo of us playing Bench Ball! It was so much fun!

Community Impact Project

What is the project?
For Community Impact Project we are going to focus on Hornby High school and Hornby High community by collecting rubbish and recycling them and reusing them for art work or other amazing creations that we can create for our environment.

What is the purpose?
The purpose of our project is to give back to our Hornby High school environment and Hornby environment. We are going to achieve that by going around the school and community collecting rubbish such as plastic shopping bags, cans, and straw and we can reuse them by create amazing art work out of them which we can display in school or in the community.

How much rubbish do you think we are going to collect? Why do you think that?
I personally think we can collect over 20 big plastic bags of rubbish and that's alot. I think we can collect that amount by picking up rubbish everyday or even filling one plastic bag one day and by the end of 2 or 3 weeks we'll have a rubbish collection.

What colours do you think we will see the most? why?
See through colours because there is alot of bottles and plastic.

What type of art would you like to create?
I would like to create a art or mural where it is totally made from scrap (rubbish collection) and then we can display in the  community such as public parks and places where people mostly litter.
