Passion Project

This is my passion project and it is about soccer/football skills. I put a lot of effort into this and I am really proud of this because I tried my hardest to get the skills done and to write the instructions.

Hope you like it!

Key:

Green=My writing

Describe your passion project. What was your learning in it? What were you trying to produce?

My passion project was about football/soccer. I learnt new skills and I also learnt how to do them. I was trying to produce football tricks like how to do them and stuff like that.

How far did you get with your passion project? What would have helped you to get further?

I finished my passion project and I really like how it went and I could have made a boot but I didn't have enough time. Nothing would have helped me get further because I finished it and I couldn't make a boot because I didn’t know how to.

What was the most challenging part of your passion project?

The hardest bit was nailing the tricks because it took me some time and I also didn’t know how to do them that well.

What was surprising about your passion project?

That I could actually do the tricks because I had no idea of how to do them. Also I didn’t expect me to be able to do the tricks that fast and explain them fast.

Did you follow your plan well? Why or why not?

I followed my plan perfectly and I did them in the right order. I also tried my hardest to follow my plan in the right order.

Which learning muscles did you use the most while you were working on your passion project? How did you use each one?

Absorption and Planning because I got focused straight into my work and I also planed out what I am going to start with.

Which learning muscles did you find difficult to stretch during passion project time?

Managing Distractions because people kept talking to me and I kept getting distracted.

Include a picture/embedded link to your passion project

Task 3- create your own piece of art (dance, drama, art, music) inspired by Matariki. It can be any media. It needs to be no larger than A4 (if visual art), and it must be wall quality.

Matariki is also a time of celebration. This can be celebrating yourself, others or events. Create a wordle or a tagxedo celebrating the last year for you.

Try out this quiz. Read the instructions carefully and keep your answer to yourself. Write your answer below.

Task 2

Matariki is often a time for renewal. Set yourself a goal of something you would like to work on over the next year, and at least 3 steps to help you achieve this.

1. Interdependence. My step is to always sit by the right people to help them and they can help me.
2. To keep up to date. My step is to focus on my work instead of talking to my friends.
3. Absorption. My step is to not talk to my friends on the mat so when they say go I will hear then I will go to what I need to do.

The Abandoned Haunted House

My Best Learning

This is my free choice writing

IALT write descriptively

The Abandoned Haunted House

Ring! Ring! “Oscar, do you want to go explore a haunted house with me, you, Cameron, Rory and Amos”

“Sure thing”

“Meet me there at 4pm okay”

“Yep” replied Oscar. 2 hours later the whole group was there and we all are deciding who's going first. 1 minute later I decide I will go first, right at that moment the door randomly opens. We are all concerned how did that happen so I walk in with everyone following behind me. SLAM! The door slams shut behind us and we all jump with shivers down our spines. “How did that happen” said Cameron

“Well it is a haunted house” Brayden replied. Couple minutes later Amos and Rory found something interesting it was a old room from like 50 years ago. “Guys come in here now”! Amos and Rory shouted “what is it” Oscar shouts back “It’s a really old room” Rory said “We will be there soon”. Everyone gathered up at the stairs then we went to explore the room, but we I look back right in front of my eyes there is writing on the wall that has been written in blood. At that moment I feel really really cold like there is a ghost that went through me. I get a little scared but then Crack!  Everyone hears the weird sound too, I go back down the stairs with everyone behind me and I turn around and right there is a scary door that looks like it leads to a secret lab I shout to everyone “COME HERE NOW”! Everyone sprints over and I open the door, AHHHHH!

TO BE CONTINUED

I am proud of this because I tried my hardest and I put lots of effort into it.

My biggest challenge was trying to think what to write about and how I should write it.

After this was over we went back home and relaxed.

Tall Tale

I was on my way to the zoo it was so hot. As I walked in I saw an ostrich. I walked passed him and he bit me. It hurt really bad. So I just got a ice pack to help my finger. After that drama I went to feed a bunch of animals.  

But when I walked pass him again he stole my super hero corn from out of my pocket (The corn is really special because it turns anyone into a superhero and it gives you superman powers) . As soon as I looked back at the ostrich he flew off. I eat 1 bit of corn then I fly off behind him and

he led me to a weird location. It looks like it's the land of ostriches. When I tried to get him there was to much ostriches. In the end I could not find him so I fly back home.

But then one day he flew past and He said “Zoo”
