HALS – Healthy Active Learning at School (Room 12)

Today at ten o’clock room 12 did a programme called HALS. “HALS” Is short for “Healthy, Active, Learning at School.” It’s basically a programme where all students participate in friendly, healthy games that help strengthen physicalness, team work, engagement and skills.

Today we played two games. The first one was called “Tails” and the second “Bench.” Tails was a fun game where two equal teams have 1 tag per person. Both teams would try to take the opposing teams tags. The team with the most tags wins. We also played different variations of the game. For example we first started playing full court but then made the space we can play to only half the court. It was really fun. For me it was 8/10.

Bench was a very fun game similar to netball. On to decently far away from each other side there were two people on the benches for each team (2 teams) they were basically the goal for the people not on the benches. Each team would try to pass the ball to people on the benches; and if they did would be on the benches as well. You also could not move with the ball if you were holding it so the only way to advance to you bench was my passing and using teamwork to move forward and win. The first to have all their people or have the most people on their benches would win. It was very fun and for me and personally it was a 10/10

 

 

Phone’s Banned in School Law

Recently a new law has been enforced upon New Zealand schools. The Government has now created a law where Phones are banned with the exemptions of, such as people with special needs / required or necessary for health, teachers, learning support and special circumstances. This law was applied to decrease distraction levels during class, improve concentration, and prevent misuse of phone use during school and more.  (Eg: Such as cheating during tests, for inappropriate uses ect,) I personally agree with this law as it helps prevent distractions and  helps children / students focus

Library : Reading

This week Room 6 went to visit the Library. We had lots of fun reading, relaxing and playing games like checkers! I mainly played checkers. I learned some interesting facts and rules on how to play. For example, I learned that you can stack the checker pieces to make a checker piece that can go both forward and diagonally. I played and won all my matches.

 

Mitey : Knot’s & Crosses

Today room six played a game based of Mitey’s website. The game was Knots & Crosses or Tic Tac Toe. Although unlike the usual rules of drawing and playing the game on a piece of paper or whiteboard, we used ourselves to represent the knots and crosses.  We placed 9 chairs in 3 x 3.  We had one team the knots, and one team the crosses then one person the ref and another the whistleblower. Both sides rock, paper, scissored to see who would go first.

Whatever side one would e the first to sit on a chair when the whistle blew. Both sides took turns  trying to get a row or column in a 3 of a line. First to get 3 people in a line either horizontally or vertically. My team was called “The Flips” and the other team was named “The kings” My team won 3 – 1.

Rules : One team must have a distinctive feature of their team to tell the difference and to avoid confusion (optional). Going to sit on a chair or sitting on a chair before the whistle is blown misses to your team’s turn.  Taking too long to sit down misses your team’s turn.

To be honest we destroyed the other team.  On their behalf we were just better. 😎
