MEDIEVAL WEEK A.K.A WAY TOO LONG AGO

YO WHATS UP GUYS!!
Thanks for 2000 pageviews!!!
Really appreciate it guys!!
So last week was Medieval Week.
It was the longest week of my life!
We learned all about the Medieval times and everything about it.
It was actually quite an interesting topic!
So we had to learn about a sepcific topic during the medieval times and I chose Falconry and Hunting.
It was all about the Hunting and ways they used to catch food.
Anyway, let us get onto the next question....

HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR LESSONS WENT?
They were pretty great.
We had to get into groups of 4 and pick a particular topic to focus on.
I was in a group with Adam, Liam Q and Daniel.
We chose to do medieval sports.
The groups had to create a power point focusing on your topic and an activity for the whole class to enjoy.
Our power point was successful and we play a gam called stoolball (it was turbo touch except you could kick it and run inti the end zone)!
Next question.....

WHAT WENT WELL?Pretty much everything really.
Everybody seemed fascinated by the powerpoint.
Everybody also LOVED the game.
So I think that it was a pretty successful lesson!

WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE BETTER?
Well I think that we could have rehearsed it a bit more because we stuttered a lot during the power point.
Also the game should have been more organised.
But it seemed pretty good to me.


WHICH OTHER LESSONS DID YOU ENJOY AND WHY?
I loved 2 of these topics specifically they had great activities.
There was a group with Henry, Josh, Lawrence and Dhyanesh who did market places and merchants.
The activity they did was merchant trading and it was a WHOLE lot of fun!
The other activity I liked was the group of Avania, William, Joshua and Katherine.
They focused on the Black Death.
I also liked their activity because it was a quiz on kahoot.
IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!

Anyway yeah so Medieval week was quite good(ish) and yeah.
TEEHEE!!

KAPA HAKA!!

YO WHATS UP GUYS!
Today I have returned to tell you about the kapa haka activity we have been doing at school.
We have been learning many different dances and been performing them over the past 3 weeks.
So I have to tell you about what has happened, even though I have only been here for 1 lesson.
So I have found it easy because the dances are really simple to learn and catch onto.
The difficult part is having to learn all the dances without being properly taught how to do it! But I could probably improve this by making a huge effort to copy the leaders moves.
KAPA HAKA IS PAINFUL!!
TEEHEE!!

MINECRAFT IS HARD!!

YO WHATS UP GUYS!!
I have returned and I have something horrifying to tell you about.
MINECRAFT!
It is torture.
We have to build lots of building and make it look like a medieval village!
It has to look like a medieval village and I think that it seems pretty legit.
The cottages look like wattle and daub (or should I say dab)
The building also look like how they were built.
I quite like the guild hall because it looks very nice.
I actually think that probably the cottages need working on the most because they don't have crops.
I think I might work on the wall and cottages.
TEEHEE!
