Top of the Team

Hey all

Last Friday , we had what's called Top Team. Top Team is an at-school event put on by Sport Canterbury
that includes a whole heap of team building activities .

Some of these activities included : Trying to get water to a bucket by pouring the water from your bucket
into the person behind yous bucket by pouring it over your head in an attempt to get it into the next bucket
(my personal favourite) and one where you had to get a ball into a bucket by rolling it down pipes and
running to the end of the line to catch it with your pipe before the ball falls.

Have you ever done Top team

Tough

On Wednesday the 20th of November, we participated in the Tough kids run.

It was like an obstacle course; as you ran, there where obstacles you had to do before you could get to the end. The first obstacle was running over an inflatable square and jumping off of it. One of the obstacles involved running in the sea as well.

Another obstacle was in the mud and sand near the sea.We had to crawl underneath a rope, and we got very muddy. My favourite obstacle would probably have to have been one of the first ones where we had to crawl through a bouncy castle.

At the end we were very wet and muddy, but on the plus side we got to get changed afterwards. We also got to eat an apple as well. Overall I had a really fun time doing tough kids.

Have you ever participated in tough kids?

Thursday Sports: Chapter 2

And I thought doing sports at the end of the day on Thursday was over
Oh silly me we had even more fun!
We played many sports such as, Lawn bowl, Korfball, Cricket, and Softball
I think we all know the rundown on Softball and Cricket so I'm gonna talk about Lawn bowl and Korfball. First Lawn ball, Lawn bowl (Or at least the version we played) is where there is a circle around 5 smaller circles inside, I think the outside ones are 10-20 points and the middle one is 50 but I can't remember. There are two teams that will have different coloured balls, we played with a green and purple pallet, the first team to 'Bowl' has to try and get their balls into the circles and the second team to 'Bowl' has to try and hit the enemies balls out of the hoops, pretty simple.

Korfball, Korfball was my favourite of the lot just because of how different it is, first talking about it it sounds like netball with the border-less hoops and no movement with the ball but the rules are something I had never heard of before such as there are 2 sides with 2 different teams on each side with only four players with two boys and two girls, girls can only mark girls and boys can only mark boys. You also cannot shoot when the person marking of is blocking you, not in a literal sense its a RULE and when you intercept a pass you go back to the end of the court and restart

So there is a basic rundown of the sports you probably hadn't heard of!
What sport would you wanna play out of these four?

Cinquain

For writing this week we had to create a poem I chose to do a Cinquain poem and here it is!

Poem:

“Netherlands.”

“European Country.”

“Biking, Skating, Canaling.”

“Walking down tulip row.”

“The Kingdom.”

A Cinquain poem requires..

Line 1 - One vague subject

Line 2 - Two descirbing words about it

Line 3 - Three interesting action verbs that fit the topic

Line 4 - A four word phrase that captures the feeling of it

Line 5 - A term for line 1

Maintain that positive Attitude!

Last week for a part of our PBL on how to accept and celebrate ourselves, Someone called Rory
came into our school and he had all of Kaupeka go into the hall to learn about the basics of puberty
and on the second session we split into boys and girls, boys went into the hall and girls stayed in the
class I believe to get more information about our genders during puberty

Overall I enjoyed having him in to teach us more about puberty. Would you want him to come to your school?

Recipe

For PBL this term  we had to create a food from a country we had pulled out of a hat, I got greece and decided to make Souvlaki a traditional greek food it was fun making it and in the end they tasted great! and since I really don't wanna have to deal with the weird CRTL C+ CTRL V glitch thingy with blogger here is a screenshot of my recipe!

Overwatch: The legend of the 6K

6k's (Getting 6 kills) are very hard to achieve its not many times that you get to say "I killed the whole enemy team" Its a special achievement that me myself in my 4,000 + Hours of playing have only gotten 3 times!

Part one: How to get the skill to achieve a 6k
You can't just go into Overwatch with 30 Minutes on Genji and expect to get nano'd and team wipe, no no no, you need to achieve the skill to be able to even think about it I recommend  at least 50+ Hours on your selected hero, gather a few friends along the way get them to play Ana and Zarya (If they want to of course) Ana's nano boost is invaluable and Zarya's gravitation is incredibly good

Part two: Best times to preform a 6k
You cant really do one mid-team fight because either 1-2 of the enemy are dead and you want all 6 don't you? the best times to do it are, In a sneak attack, and a co-ordinate attack with your team these are very good times to do this as it will allow you to get the most value out of your Ultimate ability

Part three: SIX TUPLE KILL!
Your Zarya pulls the whole enemy together then your Ana nano boosts you, you activate your ultimate and BOOM you here the commentator yell out "SIX TUPLE KILL!" you've done it you have just gotten the legendary

Six Kills

Have you ever gotten 6k in Overwatch?
