Hockey

I play hockey for our school team, and for our last game I got to be a goalie. For me personally I would prefer being a filed player rather than a goalie but everyone had to have their turn so I Took One For The Team!(haha!) Truthfully I didn't like being a goalie, for one I didn't get to run and what the most scariest of all was that when the other team were trying to get a goal it would be up to you to stop it. "No Pressure". When being a goalie you have to use (mainly) your feet to stop the ball because apparently "it's easier". I failed to listen to this command on several occasions. When you're running on the turf (field) and the ball hits your foot the ref. blows the whistle, I've gotten used to keeping my feet out of the ball's way. This was another minus point for me.
I have been playing hockey since last year and am enjoying it a lot. I have seen a vast improvement in my skills and can hit the ball with more accuracy! For the game I was a goiale I score was 1-1. I saved 2 goals (with my stick) and got player of the day!! :D

Panpan and Brooke have been playing since last year as well. =] If only I had their skills along with mine! I could be in the reps. (not really)!!!

Aquacise - Sports Options

For my sports option I got to be in aquacise!! Last Wednesday would probably have to be my most favorite session out of all the 3 times that we went. The first time was just aqua aerobics, this was when we were doing basic exercise routines in the water with a remix sound-track playing on a loud speaker. The second session was when we went snorkeling, we had a little practise around in the med-sized pool before we got to go into the 50m pool. Looking down to the ground was almost as scary as looking up to the surface, but the awesome thing for me was that I didn't need a life jacket to stay afloat and I do plan on living for ever! ;]

For our third session we learnt about basic river safety. These are just a couple of things that we learnt during a quarter of that session:

• Wearing baggy clothing whilst swimming in the river or lake is a hazard when you are trying to stay safe.
• In emergency stay calm and keep together if you're in a group. Swim with your feet first so that there's less injury to your head if you collide.
• Always swim when an adult is present so that they can come to your rescue when you may fall in harm.

We then went into the 50m pool after we had our life jackets on. The two major activities that we did included getting back into a boat after it had tipped and the fun bit- trying to swim against a current (really a whole flow of bubbles that swept us away- we didn't have a chance!)

The inflatable boat was just as fun. Our group (Prapitha, Hine, Brooke, and Laura) were to get into the boat and paddle into the middle of the pool. After doing so we all had to sit on the same side and lean back , doing this to "mistakenly" tip the boat over. Our task was to get back into the boat using team-work. This happened quicker than I expected. When I finally did get into the boat I managed to make an ex-extraordinary landing waving my legs into the air in all different fashions.

Doing this was So0o0o0 Much Fun!!! Can't Wait Until Next Time! ☺☺☺

This is my Landform Pre-assessment. Thruthfully I have never found most rocks interesting, that is why my video has nothing true in it. If I had to be interested in one specfic type of rock I would choose something ex-trodinary and out of this world like a metorite or something that is shiny and smooth. =]

This is our (BG and PR) second Chinese Dialoude Video. Since last term we have been learing Chinese and in this video we have impoved alot in our fluency but still need to work on our pronounciation. All the little Chinese phrases we have leant so far have been included in this video such as: greetings, likes/dislikes, food & drink, telephone no., and good-bye's. When watching this video you may have noticed that the Chinese pronounciation for the word "water" is said a little differently. I do know how to properly pronounce the word "water" (shui pronounced sh-waa-y). Compared to the other pairs we only had to do 4 takes before we got it fairly perfect. Next time I will focous on trying to say simple Chinese phrases without having a book or peice of paper to assist me.

S.A.M.S Learner T-Shirt

This is my s.a.m.s learner t-shirt. I have made it colorful to represent that all learning does'nt have to be boring. In the middle you may have noticed a person, he has a large ear to show that he is listening and a moving mouth to show that he is comunicating. As you may have noticed he is holding a magnifying glass as to represent an explorer. The day and night words represent that learning doesn't have to stop after school.

Chinese Introduction Videos

This is my introduction video for Chinese. I think I have improved alot in my frequency and I am going to carry on doing that, I can speak much better now but in my video I was a little shy. I have shown that I can say some Chinese phrases with their tones in correct places but I still need practice.
