Technology T3W5

Today at technology we got to make ... Hawaiian Pizza !! It took  us a lot of time to get ready because every one was trying to get a partner to cook with but not every one wanted to be with each other.  When we started we were told to read the instructions on the board and to get out the equipment that we thought we needed to make Hawaiian Pizza there were four steps to making Hawaiian Pizza. The first step was to paste tomato sauce on top of the pizza, Then we had to dice up the onion and ham that we were going to use as our toppings, after that we had to equally spread out toppings across our pizza and then put cheese on it and put it into the oven and bake at 180c for fifteen minutes.

When we got to eat our pizza I thought that would taste very good because the way that they looked kind of put me off. But soon as we took our photos and got our first bite it was one of the best pizzas that I had ever made. One thing that I would change about it next time would be to put a lot more cheese onto it and a lot more pizza because I thought that it needed bit more meat to give it a bit more flavor. Other than adding a bit more cheese and ham I think that it was very nice pizza and very
delicious way to start out my morning.

Yesterday was our Tuakana Teina day, Seeing how we have such a big class we had to split in two because we had to junior classes that were with usroom 4 and room 5. In the morning block we had Room 4 come up to our class, my buddie was Owyn. We did a presentation about ourselves and our junior buddies and teaching them the school values and what they mean.

After we had done those two tasks we went out side so that we could go and do some exercise. When we got outside we did some stretches and then went on to doing two exercises they were star jumps and reverse lunges, every time that I looked over at some of the little kids it looked like they were having a whole lot of fun doing outdoor activities with the older kids. After morning tea Room 5 came up to our class because half of the kids in our class are buddies with room 5 and the other half is buddied up with room 4. Me and a group of my friends were buddied up with room 4 so when room 4's teacher came up and got room 5 half of our class went down with them to help and finish of some tasks that we had done in the morning block. After the whole day I think that my favorite part of the day was getting to know the little kids in room 4 because when they came into our class only some of the kids in our class knew a little bit of the kids and they only knew a little bit of us.

WALT :  we are learning new skills for boxing 

On Monday we had our first session of kiwisport for the term witch was BOXING!! I think that this is a very fun sport to do for our kiwisport because it is very active and because most kids our age like fighting and this is a way for them to fight but not only hurting someone. Our coach for boxing coach's name is Pax ( I think that's how you spell it ) and before we started with actually learning how to box she gave us a bit of her history like when she first started boxing three years ago when she did a fight to raise money for a charity. She won that fight and decided to fo it again but was injured and couldn't do it again and I think that she loved boxing so much that she wanted to try and teach younger people how to box.

The very first thing that we learnt how to do was how to get into a ready position and a position that that we could be in and that could keep us stable so if somebody pushed we would still be standing because we are in a stable position. The next thing that we learnt how to do was how to jab somebody witch was pretty easy to start out with and for the first thing to be learning it was fairly easy and was kind of fun at the same time. I thought that it was fun because every time that I looked at one of my friends it look like they were all trying their best to do what they were told and giving it one hundred percent effort.

The next thing that we learnt to do was a cross punch witch was pretty fun to do as well. I found this  very fun because when we were learning how to do it everyone looked tired from everything else we had done but was still trying to learn it, and everyone looked like they were having fun practicing with  their friends.

The last two things that we did was a combination of the two punches that we were learning which is called a jab cross, which is  basically starting with a jab and then doing a  cross punch.  After we had learnt how to do the combination we practised doing it with one of our friends, so one person would be punching the other person and the person who is getting punched would be tapping the  punches softly.
