Medieval Times A.K.A The very Old Olden Days




Last week was Medieval Week and it was really fun learning about sub topics and then doing an activity afterwards. So I will be talking about my activity I did with Dhyanesh, Lawrence and Josh.

My lesson went much better than expected because I thought everybody would mooch about doing nothing useful but they were very excited which blew my mind. Also I was surprised people understood what they were supposed to do because I still don't understand it very well.
Things that went well would be people selling there items for sensible prices and no one complained about stupid things that no one cares about. 

Things that could of gone better would be NOTHING because it ran really smoothly and we all remembered our lines/info for the power point.

Other lessons I enjoyed was Williams groups lesson because it was a quiz and Dhyanesh and I won it while getting cheated on one of the questions.

That is my blog post for this week come back soon for another!!! :)

Kapa Haka!!! :}

For the past three weeks we have been doing Kapa Haka, and I am one of the leaders for it with India, Avania and Jesse. This post I will be talking about participation in Kapa Haka, If I'm finding it easy, if anything is difficult and how I can improve things.

Participation is always high for me because since I am a leader I always have to be doing moves and speaking to people if they are finding something difficult to do.

Things I am finding easy would be showing to moves to the students but it is hard at times if I haven't really learnt them or if I get a bit nervous.

Don't come near me!!!
As I said things that I find hard are sometimes showing moves if I haven't learnt them or if I get nervous. 

Some things I could improve on would be putting more effort into the moves so it looks like I am doing it in war and I am doing it with pride.

MINECRAFT + MEDIEVAL TIMES = A TONE OF LAG & 1 FRAME PER SECOND

Last week we started Minecraft at school because it is Medieval times and each class has to build their own Medieval village. So I will be talking about how I think it is going for my class and if we need to work on anything or improve some stuff.


Most of the buildings are correct and made out of the right materials but there are a few that need some changing. About 90% of cottages look like they are made out of wattle and daub.


My favourite part of the village has to be the Castle because it is so big and it also has great spots to attack from so we should wreck the other classes in war. Also I like the Church because it stands out and also because Lawrence and I made it.


As I said some cottages need a bit of work but we could also have some more shops and we could also build a wall. 


Two things I am going to work will probably be the wall that will go around either the village or the castle. Also making buildings look better by filling them with things like decorations, etc. if it is needed I can help put stairs and paths and lay them out better.
