Mauri Drawing

IALT:Define My Mauri

Today we had to use a piece of A4 paper and draw symbols that represent our Mauri.For this task I was so happy because when we finish we all have to share our Ideas.While I was drawing I was so confused of what to draw because I had to many ideas I couldn't think of the main ones.But then I found Out what i was going to draw.My first 1 was my flag which represents my culture.My second one was the book of Mormon which represents my religion.My third one was the sport cricket which represent the sport my family plays.And the last one was my family which represents my family.While I was drawing It felt like I was getting closer and closer to my family and culture.

When we finished we had to present our work.The first person was Kensington and as he was going up he was so Nervous so I felt scared.As people going up they finished and it was our turn and I was so scared that I might say something wrong and people will make fun of me.As I was presenting I was going good until I got stuck but then I got through it then I was finished.

The first Picture Represents my Culture and where I come from.My Second Picture represent my religion and the type of church I grew up in.I drew the book of mormon because I enjoy reading it and now I know the stories that happened in Heaven.My third picture is a man Playing Cricket.I chose this because in Samoa me and my family when ever we get bored we would go to a open space and play cricket there.I chose this because it has helped us bind together as one and let us know more and more people.My fourth one I chose is a picture of my family.There is 6 of us in our family including my parents.My family has helped me become who I am right now.They have fixed every problem I had and they always cheered me up.This is my Mauri.

KiwiSport-Run,Jump and Throw

Today for Kiwisport we were practicing on our Shotput throwing.We were practicing with mini soccer balls.The aim for us today was trying not to throw the ball like you're throwing a tennis ball.We have to place it under your jawline and right under your ear and push it off your palm.While we were throwing my arm started to hurt because I kept throwing it wrong.On our next ball it was a bit heavier even though it was smaller than the mini Soccer ball.When I looked around I saw everyone doing it wrong they just wanted everyone to see how far there one went.

But I threw the ball right and I was doing the right thing.Even though I threw it small I was proud that I know I can do better.Throughout this experience I was happy that I made good metres with the ball.The part I like is that I know that I was doing the right thing.The part I dont like is that my friends around me were doing the wrong thing and when I told them do the right thing they continued on doing the wrong thing.Next time I can keep practicing and get better and better.The part I found challenging is trying to throw farer than I threw before.

Te Tuhi

Yesterday we went to te tuhi and I was so scared because we had to do a roleplay that we never even practiced for.I was so scared that I didn't even wanted to go to te tuhi.I really enjoyed how I didnt think about our role play on the bus because there was to many fun and singing that I never felt scared anymore.While we were singing I was thinking about how our play is going to go.When we got there we sat down and we were waiting for our instructor Salome to come.Once she came we went to the auditorium to do our roleplay.Once we went inside we were all surprised because everything was dark and there was lights facing the middle and chairs in a semi circle.When the first group went up to do there role play I was so scared that we would be next.When the first group was up they weren scared and they were confident.So I decided if I was there I wouldnt be scared.We were the last group to go up and I wasnt scared at all.When we finished I was happy that we finished and I was proud of myself for giving it a go and not being scared.

Kiwisport

Today for kiwi sport we were doing Run Jump and throw.When we got their we were a bit to early because Room 10 was still having their time.But as I was watching they were doing relays and I was so excited because I like to run but in my own time.When it was our turn we started of with a warm up.Our warm up game was called Maui Matau.Maui means Left and Matau means right.We all had a long stick to hold.When the leader calls Maui we let go of our stick and try grab the stick on you left.When you fail you are out of the game.The point of the game is trying to be the last one to drop the stick.While we were playing I got confused and when the leader called Matau I went to the left and got three other people out including myself.

After our warm up we went and practiced on our start when we race.We got a few tips on how to run faster and also how to push yourself of the ground faster.While we were taking some tries of running I realized that I was beating some of my friends that I couldn't beat before.After that we played relays.Our team was very good.In my team was Sene,Leilani,Akih Alone and me.When we had to run even farer my team chose me to go but I was so scared that I might make my team lose and they might get angry at me.But at the end of our session everyone was a champion.

Maths

Today for maths we were doing word problems to solve.During this experience I was really frustrated because as I was explaining how I got the answer to my pairs they kept on questioning me that they couldn't understand what I was talking about, but I would agree with them because I was talking way too fast for their ears.During my maths my friends kept on talking to me which made me not do enough work.The part I like was being able to finish the first two questions.The part I found challenging is solving part 3 and part 4.Next time I could move away from my friends.

Writing

Today we had to do a Writing test in the morning because we never did it yesterday.I was very scared because I wasn't prepared and my head was hurting a little bit.When I was starting I didn't know what we were writing about because I never read the whole thing.But lucky my teacher was there to show me what we were meant to write about.While we were doing our test my friend Metui was making me laugh.The part I very like is finishing my test before we had to go outside for morning tea.The part I found challenging is thinking of good words to put in my text.Next time I could practice more about my language features.
