Swimming Learning Story
When we arrived at the swimming pools everyone was yelling.
After our play in the pool, we had to hop out and do our lessons first we had to
blow bubbles. I was good at staying underwater even though I was running out
of breath. After we got a pair of goggles and a swimming board. We had to swim
to the flag on our stomach there and back. I was good at kicking my legs and after
that, we had to swim on our back and the teacher told us to look straight up. Then
we were floating on our back like a starfish.


In our second session. We tried to dive down to touch the floor and get back up.
We did breaststroke. My arms made me go fast through the water. The teacher told
us to count 1,2,3 then take a breath.
In my next lesson, we got into two groups. We were going on a boat. The teacher
put all of us in a group. I was in group 5. After that all of us put on life jackets the
teacher pushed us off a boat our teacher told us to hold our breath then we swam
back out. In that lesson, I learnt how to get on a boat safely. In our next lesson, we
were having a competition of who can keep afloat for more than 5 minutes. My team
won by 1 minute. My arms hurt a lot. The second thing we did was practice to save
each other in water so we would know what to do if it happened in real life.
All the success criteria I was good at in my swimming was putting my head under
water and blowing bubbles, floating on our tummy and back. And I was also good
at using a sculling action to keep me afloat for 5 minutes and getting into the water
in lots of safe ways.
The things I learnt were how to get on a boat safely and use long loose legs and
floppy feet to kick.
My next steps are to use rocket arms to cover your ears to help you glide through
the water, using the equipment correctly and safely and demonstrate correct
arm action for freestyle backstroke and breaststroke.

Muriwai’s Maths Learning Story

Muriwai’s Maths Learning Story Manusiu has 20 metres of material to make some tupenu for her family. Each tupenu needs 1.5 metres of material.  How many can she make? In our maths groups, we talked about this problem and my group and I thought that it might have to multiply in it so when we took the the pen we started thinking about how we could solve the maths problem. First, my group wrote 1.5x4=6 then 1.5x5=7.5 and we were trying to find out the answer but it was too slow then I remembered that you can multiply it by 10 to get an answer faster we wrote 1.5x10=15. Then there were 5 metres of material left so we wrote 1.5x3=4.5 and we put 4.5+15=19.5 and the answer was 13 because that was how much tupenu we could make. Reflection I was good at thinking because I was good at recording my ideas that got my group out of the pit and boosted our ideas. I was also good...

Tech Blog I want to share this with you because I want to share what I did in technology and what next steps I need to use. When we got off the bus I got put into the music group but I wanted to be in cooking first. In music, we had to choose songs for the next week we chose our song and after we chose our instruments I was left Ukulele but I wasn’t that good at it so AJ and I switched instruments and I got to use the piano. When I learned my part, our group was waiting for the performance when the music group was ready we had to perform and our band was first up. I was scared to play but I played a little bit. In music, the key competencies I used were thinking because I thought of the right answer to write down when we were trying to guess the song and instruments.I also used relating to others because I was listening to the teacher when she was talking. My next steps are to manage myself and to participate and contribute to my learning beca...
