PE - Striking and Fielding

WALT: Apply Striking and Fielding activities in a range of sports and activities.


My Strengths


The striking strategy I was able to effectively demonstrate during the game we played was to play through the shot and following through.


The throwing and catching strategy I was able to effectively demonstrate during the game we played was soft hands for catching.


My Next Steps


To improve my striking of a ball I need to Keep my eye on the ball because it increases the chances of actually hitting the ball.

To Improve my catching and fielding I need to look at where you are aiming to throw the ball because it ensures greater accuracy of your throw.


The game that I enjoyed the most was Rounders because it is really fun hitting to try to get home runs because you get double points.

Today we were working with the 0-1's playing games, we were teaching them how to play the games me and Joseph Baxter were buddied up and the kids seemed to be liking our games.

Author's purpose

Here is Richie McCaw's opinion on changing the flag.

Mean:
The mean is the average.

Mode is the number that you see the most e.g   12, 23, 45, 23, 15, 29

Median:
Median is the number in the middle and you order it from smallest to biggest.

The range is when you have the biggest number and the smallest number and you subtract the smallest number from the biggest number.

Leadership

SOLO- Multistructual
In class this week we have been learning about the traits of an effective Leader, the traits are Integrity, Resilience, Trustworthy, Motivational, Active Thinker and Goal focused.

Integrity- Means a fair and kind person who is honest to others and themselves.
Trustworthy- Means when people can trust you to do something and if you say you are going to do something they trust that you will do it.
Motivational- Means to Motivate people so they do good about what they are doing.
Active thinker- Means you are always thinking about a solution if something doesn't work.
Resilience- Means you don't give up on anything and keep believing.
Goal focused- Means when you set a goal and try to achieve it.

Leadership is "the skill of being able to motivate people / teams to work towards a goal".

Evaluating information

I have been learning about if we should change the NZ flag or not. I reckon that we should change the flag because it look's too much like the Australian Flag. Here are some reason's why I think we should change the Flag, The silver fern has been part of our history and identity for many year's. And another reason is the colour black on the new flag is represented as the national colour.

Here is a link to our Evaluating information chart.
