Koru Games

The activity I did was Netball
My highlights of the Koru Games are when our team tried our best and ended up coming 6th out of 32 teams. My other highlight is the delicious food there, there was hot chips and cold drinks.
I am proud of actually making it to the Koru Games and playing against those amazing teams.
I want to do the same sport and hopefully make it further than 6th next year, Because the environment at the netball courts were great and all the teams there were very kind when they lost and when they won.

Today I was a physical activity leader PAL for short, with the help of anneke and we played with the moon hoppers. some of the boys were being silly so we asked them to leave politely. While I was doing this I showed the learner quality of resilient by being patient with those boys and I did not give up.

CARE values

CARE: My progress so far

The CARE award that I am working towards is: Silver

The one area of CARE that I am doing best in is: Respect because: most of my highlighted areas are in Respect.

The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is: Excellence because: least of my highlighted areas are in Excellence.

To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: integrity, trustworthy, resilient, goal focused, active thinker and motivational.

On the CARE SOLO matrix below I am at this SOLO level: Extended Abstract because: I fell that I can display the care values well.

Prestructural	Unistructural	Multistructural	Relational	Extended Abstract
I am not aware of the CARE values yet.	I know what the CARE values mean. I need help to use them.	I can use the CARE values. I need reminding to use them.	I can use the CARE values independently.	I can use the CARE values independently. I can role model to others how to use the CARE values.

W.A.L.T: I can make links across texts by recognising connectives or adverbial clauses

For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning a little bit hard but mostly easy because I fell that the activity's were easy because I fell that I knew a lot about the topic

In this activity (link to adverbial clause activity), I had to...do this activity

On Thursdays I had PALs and Anneke and I ran hoops and stilts with the kakano kids. all the kids were sharing the stills so the activity went well. While I was running this I showed the learner qualities of integrity. I showed integrity by being fair and letting them all have a go since there were lots of them and there wasn't enough hoops or stilts for all of them.

My information report

The water cycle

The water cycle is a process when water goes through the land, sea and the atmosphere. The water is recycled throughout the process so that means we have no new water, there are four steps in the water cycle eg: evaporation, condensation, precipitation and groundwater/runoff. Water through the process changes state nearly every step of the way from liquid to a gas {Water Vapor} to a solid and back again.

One important step in the water cycle is Evaporation. Evaporation is an invisible process where the sun heats up the water, in oceans, lakes and rivers and the water then turns into a gas which we know as vapour. Vapor in the air is called humidity. In some hot places, there is a high amount of humidity. The process of evaporation is faster on hot days because the sun heats up the water quicker therefore, it turns into vapour at a greater rate. After the water turns into a gas and it floats up to the atmosphere, it forms into clouds which is called Condensation.

Condensation is the clouds in the sky, when the clouds get too heavy precipitation takes over and makes it rain, snow, hail or sleet. Invisible water vapor is in the air of every place in the world, but it's invisible. Condensation happens because of the different temperature in the atmosphere. The amount of precipitation that falls is different all around the world. after the gas from condensation and the water from precipitation goes down it becomes ground-water/runoff.

Runoff is nothing more than water “running off” the land surface going into the lakes and rivers. Even though some rainfall soaks into the ground most flows over. Runoff is also important because as it flows some water goes into the ground and recharges the plants and grass. Some of the water from precipitation goes into the ground and that's what humans drink.

The water cycle is one of the most important cycle in the world. This cycle helps us grow crops to keep us living.

PALs 

last week I was a PAL with anneke and ran an activity for the kakano with moon hoppers during the second half of lunch. We handed out pozi's to the little kids that tried hard and didn't give up which was most of them. While I was running the activity I showed the learner qualities of integrity. Integrity by being fair and making sure they all got an even amount of time on the moon hoppers.
