Touch

This week we played a game of touch using all the skills that we have learnt over the past few weeks. 

First we practiced two man settle and three man settle before playing a game. During this game we needed to go straight and aim at one person. To do a two man settle the person A had to touch and put the ball under their feet and step under it. Then the person B had to get the ball and run forward. It was the same for the three man settle but with three people. 

Lastly we played a game of touch. We were separated into three teams and versed the other two teams. During this game we used two and three man settle. 

I was tired at the end of the session because I was running, planting and toucing people on the shoulders.

Touch | Kiwi Sport

This week for Touch we combined the skills we used for the last few weeks and put it in a game.

First, we warmed up by doing a three men settles and sometimes a two men settle. A two men settle is one person plantting the ball and the person behind the planter can grab it and pass it.

A three men settle is basically the same thing but with a third person. When the first person plants the ball and steps over it the third person grabs the ball and pass it to the second person and we repeated this order in different patterns.

After the warm up we started playing a attacking and defencing game. In there were three teams, two teams playing and one team discussing about their strategy. 

Our coach told us to go forward first then go wide and fill the field.

This weeks lesson was easy and fun to understand.  

Mountains | Maori

For Maori we learnt about the mountains in Auckland.

Before starting the activity, we played a memory game about where the words are. There were some questions, the question were Kei hea te kupu that means where is the word. In this we passed but if you want someone to pass a word to you, we needed to say Homai to kupu that means Pass me the word.

After the game we used Maori Dictionary to translate words that were mountain names in Auckland. Then I checked my work with whaea Odie if I was right or wrong.

After I did an Matching activity, this activity was based around how you know the weather in Maori.

I enjoyed this task and found this task easy to fill in. I have improve my knowledge on Te Reo Maori.

Novel Study | Reading

A novel study is finding out information about a novel or a story and makes an idea of that information.

This novel study was based around Matilda written by Roald Dahl. This story is about a little girl who loves reading, and is incredibly smart, however she is disrespected and treated unequally by her parents. This novel study has been focusing on the elenfth, twelfth and thirteenth chapters of the story.

In the eleventh chapter, Bruce Bogtrotter was called out for sneaking into the kitchen and eating Miss Trunchbull's private chocolate cake. So, Miss Trunchbull held an assembly and forced Bruce Bogtrotter to eat a giant chocolate cake as a consequence.

In the twelfth chapter, Miss Honey tells the class that Miss Trunchbull will be visiting the class to see how well the students have been taught. Lavender takes this chance to trick Miss Trunchbull and capture and put a newt in her cup of water.

In the thirteenth chapter, Miss Trunchbull finally visits Miss Honey's class and tests them on their spelling, multiplication and reading skills. Miss Trunchbull punishes the children whenever they get it wrong, and is confused by Matilda's wisdom.

Screenplays | Writing

A screenplay is a script, which tells what the actor has to say, how to say it and when to say it. Screenplays can give some descriptions on how actors should speak and it can also give more detail. In a screenplay it includes the characters name, the scene number, the direction notes and the actions. 

The actors line is center aligned under their name. The lines don't need speech marks because it could help what tone to use.

The direction notes should be all caps and left align. Also it is next to the scene number because if the actors read the script they know where to film the next scene.

A screenplay scene number should be in all caps. The name also should be in caps and center aligned. If there is any extra information people would put it in brackets under their name.

The actions are left align and should be bold so the actors will know that it is acting time. The actions are where to film and the acting.

Knowing how to write a screenplay is important because if actors don't know what their lines are, the movie is likely going to be bad.
