Jump Start PE

 We have begun Jump Start for our Year 11 classes, and oh how it’s been eventful. For now I’ll be reflecting on my PE lessons. I’ve fortunately been chosen for Level 1 PE with our teacher Whaea Ruth and already PE has kicked off starting with our Renegade Hockey unit. To start we’ve mainly done peer coaching and learning the basic skills that we would need to play this sport. We’ve touched on passing, tackling, a mid - air - trap, and also flicking the ball when being defended. I’ve mainly struggled with the mid - air - trap due to the lack of balance and control I have with the stick, but with a Growth Mindset I am determined to crack it by the end of our unit. Other than learning basic skills, we have also been learning about each other which has been the most enjoyable for me. Considering PE is no longer mandatory  in Year 11 our class is now a combination of those willing to take PE in the whole of our year group, which means new people to get to know. In these PE lessons we have been pushed to partner up with someone from the opposite form class so that we are getting to mix and mingle and our games, for me, have really helped with that. From one game I could tell that everyone in our class has the same drive and passion for sports to be better and always give a 100% because not once did I see a single person not  being involved or just standing to just stand. That excites me for the future progression of our PE class in 2022, and I hope this energy keeps up.

Future Planning Reflection.

 So far in term 3, we have been based around the topic of Future Planning, and we've been focused on the Working World. All things of jobs, interviews we had covered in this topic. 

Firstly, we were tasked to actually choose 3 jobs to look into on a website we were given. I had chosen Secondary School Teacher, Pharmacy Technician, and just as a fill I did Bank Worker. We looked into things like the wages, skills we’d need to have for this job, and also the different tasks you’d have to do. From there we narrowed it down to 1 job and we continued to make an Interview for this job, or any job that you’d want to go for. To plan for our interview we were given a doc with different things like that we had to fill which were hobbies, goals, values, and a few more. After pointing all these things out we had to put in a paragraph and filmed ourselves reading the paragraph. 

During this time we were unfortunate to be hit with Covid once again as a result of our second lock down. Due to this event, we returned to the online schooling via Google Meets. I must say it’s been a challenge because I’m more used to being physically present in a class. Considering I’ve come to my cousin's house for the lock down it hasn’t been hard to focus. It's been easier considering they are also working as well, but I still rather be in a more time-managed class room and being able to ask a teacher a question without the whole class having to hear you. Despite all of that, All of my classes have been amazing, and I hope everyone is doing well in their bubbles.

All About Me 2021

Kia Ora, 

Ko Hikurangi te maunga 

Ko Waiomio te awa 

Ko Ngatokimatawhaorua te waka

Ko Ngapuhi te iwi 

Ko Ngati Hine te hapu

Ko Mohinui te marae 

Ko TeHura toku papa 

Ko Ngatokorua toku mama 

Kia Ora my name is Jacque and I attend as a Year 10 at Bay Of Islands College. So far this year I've enjoyed both MPA (Maori Performing Arts ) and Weaving. I'm currently in the time of trials for the whakataetae Kapa Haka Group (Te Roopu O Peowhairangi), so fingers crossed all goes well. If you were to attend BOIC you would clearly know who I am, because I'm that one girl who randomly dances in areas around the school, or even singing my lungs out. If you were to see me don't be shy to join along. So that we're not here for too long, I hope you learnt a little more about me and that your all updated.
