Year: 2024

Tena koutou oku ākonga

Firstly, thank you for your first blog as a Y11 Physical Education learner. I especially loved the manaakitanga in all of your feedback – even some helpful feed forward. Tu meke koutou.

He wero anō – another challenge for you.

I would like you to post your video you made to capture your Renegade Hockey learning. I know many of you experienced frustrating problems and I know some of you are not satisfied with the video you crafted but hei aha. You did it, and, considering it’s the first time for many – I’m proud of your efforts. 

Kia manawanui. Kia maia. Post it and your hoa mahi can view it and appreciate the fruits of your efforts as I do.

Manaaki tētahi i tētahi

Taite 21 0 Whiringa-ā- Rangi 2024

Nau mai, piki mai, haere mai!

Welcome to you all and congratulations on choosing Level PE for one of your subject options for 2025.

This blog site is where the 2024 graduates posted their learnings which fellow learners could view and comment upon. You have already written reflections in your Renegade Hockey Diary during Jump Start.

Now I’d like you to:

1. Choose your best diary entry, ensure it is editted well, copy and post it here.
2. Take time to read the posts of your hoa mahi.
3. Then choose two posts to respond to. Ensure your response gives them positive feedback on something they did well. If appropriate give feed forward or ask questions to prompt further thought or improvements. Just as you do in training, always –

ME MANAAKI TĒTAHI I TĒTAHI

Tena koutou katoa

1. I would like you to  share your understanding, ideas and opinions to the following:

What is Kotahitanga in a team?

How do you know and how does it feel to be in a team that truly has Kotahitanga?

How do you think it would feel if there wasn’t Kotahitanga in your team?

2. Then I would like you to read posts of your classmates and craft a response to two of them. Ensure your response is:

     POSITIVE   THOUGHTFUL  HELPFUL

Staying with Volleyball but changing our reflection focus, I would like you to blog  the Kotahitanga part of your reflection on Training 2 – with a photo of you demonstrating one or both of your strategies.

Tena koutou katoa

Today you had to train in pairs using tuakana/teina , then in teams to prepare you for a game of Volleyball.

I would like you to:

1. EVALUATE, the impact tuakana/teina had on your Hauora.
2. You must EVALUATE at least three dimensions of Te Whare Tapawhā, devoting a seperate  paragraph for each dimension.
3. You must EXPLAIN your judgements within each paragraph, thereby making your post more evaluative.

You will be reading and responding to posts on Thursday.

Ma te manaakitatanga, ma te whanaungatanga, e whakapakari ake taatou katoa

Kia ora oku ākonga

I would like you to post your reflection of your 6th June and 13 June workout here.

Then I’d like you to read all the posts of  of your hoa mahi BEFORE responding to two of them with a comment that is:

Positive     Thoughtful     Helpful

TENA KOUTOU AKU TAUIRA PUKUMAHI

You shared your understanding of the Te Ao Maori concept of Tino Rangatiratanga in our last post. Now I’d like you to share HOW you are demonstrating Tino Rangatiratanga in your training and WHAT impact that is having on the quality of your performance.

1. To do this, I would like you post your responses to the following:

Event/ Skill I trained:

HOW did you demonstrate Tino Rangatiratanga in your training Tuesday 12 March?

Explain how Tino Rangatiratanga influenced your quality of movement 

2. As always I expect you all to respond to the post of two classmates over the week. Responses to the last posts WERE positive, some were supportive but I’d like you to give more thought to being HELPFUL. In other words prompting the writer to further and deeper detail/thinking. Then you can truly contribute to:

                                                    Ma te manaakitatanga, ma te whanaungatanga, e whakapakari ake taatou katoa

Kia ora koutou

Welcome to our very first post in our Level 1 PE class blog

1. I have two prompts I would like you to respond to. Before publishing your response please edit  your writing so it is your very best and you have used accurate spelling and punctuation throughout.

Explain your understanding of tino rangatiratanga in the learning context.

Explain what perceived benefits tino rangatiratanga has for you as a learner and trainer in Athletics.

2. Over the next week choose two posts of your peers to respond to.  Always remember that the purpose of your peer response  is to motivate improvement in thinking, writing and participation so ensure it is

POSITVE SUPPORTIVE HELPFUL

Ma te manaakitanga, ma te whanaungatanga, e whakapakari ake tatou katoa!
