Keep your eye on the ball

We are using the nations of the 2011 Rugby World Cup as our inquiry path.
For this unit we are in one of four teams: Brumbies, Force, Rebels, Stormers. My team is BrumbiesThere will be a number of tasks for us to navigate to achieve our goal of an excellent result in this unit. There are a mixture of individual and team tasks to be completed. The main task that will show our learning in this unit will be a Hyperstudio presentation about one of the countries in the World Cup competition.

I am exited for the world cup because it is gonna make history for New Zealand rugby.

Prototype

This term we have been working on designs for our street. I have designed a one setter chair, it is similar to a lazy boy chair, when you lean back the bottom of the chair comes up to put your feet on to relax.

Before I got to this state I had to search the Internet to look at past furniture designs. I had to draw out my furniture design ideas on to a sheet of paper. It wasn't easy thinking of ideas it took me a while to come up with the right one.

When I started my furniture prototype I had to draw my design out onto a cardboard, then I had to cut it out to join it all the pieces together . When i finish my prototype I will take a photo of me sitting on it.

If I had.......

Our task was to write a sentence starting with the words "If I".

If I had a real job ,
I would sell my ox
then maybe upgrade my Box.

If I had a real Job,
I would be a huge snob.

If I had a real Job,
I would buy a house

If I had a real Job,
I would help or fobs then I will try and help out the Mongrel Mobs.

If I had a real Job,
I will buy a real car instead of a trolley.

My Strategy

This is what happens in my brain when I try to answer a maths problem.

The problem was

182-78=

To make it easier I added 2 on both of the numbers. Now it was 184-80=104.

Into the action

I ran past one defender and dashed down the sideline.....

I stood up in a disgrace as I walked back onto the field of play with my head bowed. I said to myself, "What happened?"

I took a break and tried to get my head together all I remembered was that I was running down the sideline...... But then I remembered that I got hit out right next to the try line. My rugby game was over for the day.

Exggeration

Our task was to exaggerate in our writing.
Last week I went to my Grand Dad Obama’s house. It was boring because he had a meeting with the Taliban's to bring peace.

I Came back to N.Z and we went to go watch my uncle David Tua when the Mobs came and invaded my uncles house, he gave them a left hook with a right upper cut.
