2017 Athletics Reflection

In Athletics I used a growth mindset by trying my hardest in all the activities even when things got hard. In high jump because I kept on trying my best every time.

I did manage to achieve my goal because in high jump I got the highest I’ve ever got ( I jumped one metre). So I was proud of myself.

The most challenging thing was long jump because it was my first event and I was really nervous to do it. In the end I tried my best and did ok.

The thing I was really proud of myself was shot sprints because I got 4th in my race. Last year I came 5th or 6th place so I am proud that I did it better this year.

Maui Dolphin

Maui Dolphin


Maui Dolphins are the rarest marine dolphin and they are found only off the North-West coast off the North Island of New Zealand. Maui Dolphins are mammal and their natural habitat is the deep blue sea.


How much do they weigh?
Females grow to 1.7 m long and weigh up to 50 kg. Males are slightly smaller and lighter. The dolphins are known to live up to 20 years.


What do they eat?
Maui Dolphins live up to 20 years and they feed on small fish, squid, and ocean floor-dwelling species, such as flatfish and cod. Maui Dolphins spend much of their time making dives to find fish on the seafloor.


What are Pods?
Maui dolphins swim in pods; basically pods are groups that you are in, like you are in swimming groups but they only go where their pod is going.  You will normally find dolphins in their pod so when you are going out at sea in a boat you may see Maui Dolphins, but there will be more than one dolphin because they do not go a different way from their pods.


How long are they pregnant for?
It’s an amazing fact that besides the technology we have today humans have not yet been able to observe the birth of the dolphins in the wild. For now whatever information has been gained is based on the dolphins in captivity.

What are some threats?
Some threats to the Maui Dolphin is disease, attacks from sharks and orcas (killer whales) and extreme weather, which can cause mothers and calves to be separated, resulting in the death of the calf because they are only little.

In conclusion you should try and help the Maui Dolphins and look after them.

Art Attack



WALT: Create artist inspired artwork.


What did I learn to do?
How to draw koru inspired artwork.
What is my next step?
Try to use more colours and patterns.

Steps in creating my art

First we began our draft copy of the artwork which was inspired by Raewyn Harris.I did multiple draftsof koru designs until I really liked it as I wanted to ensure it was my best work. After completing my draft using pencil I then redrew the picture using coloured chalk. Once we completed this we redrew our design on a bigger piece of paper. Once we had it drawn on the big paper we then selected different colour crayons to colour in my picture ensuring I didn't go over the chalk edges, making sure I left a chalk edge between colours. Once all the colouring was completed we put dye over our art and let it dry. After we finished and it was dry it looked very cool.


Here is a photo of my art.


Bullying Rap

How did you find the process? I think the process was good because the steps were easy to follow.

What  might be your next step? My next step is to make a longer rap.

Bullying Rap
Wake up in the morning feeling like a fool
don't know why but I got to go to school
The bullies think they are so cool but
really there just sad and there making me mad

Knock on the door they lock me out

Lunch time now sitting by myself

Says sorry dude for bullying you I

your shoes I have been bullied too.
