PE - rugby skills.

On Thursday, the class went out for PE. 

They did rugby skills and had lots of pictures from it. They did the skill for when you are in a line and one person has the ball and they pass it to the person a little behind them , then that person does it again. 

The next person each not with the ball has to be a little bit behind them to pass. They move down the field going to the end person back to the first person that had the ball.  

Everyone had a go, and five people were each in a line going down to the end of the field. 

I was unfortunately , not there to actually try the game but I knew how to play it though. 

Here was a picture that was taken during this rugby skill.

Google shortcuts.

Google shortcuts are easy ways to find things you want quick on google search bar. 

Some are really good to use if your doing or working on scanning in reading tasks and you need to find something. 

Here are a few really helpful shortcuts to use: 

1: Use the minus sign to eliminate results containing certain words
You’ll want to eliminate results with certain words if you’re trying to search for a term that’s generating a lot of results that aren’t of interest to you. Figure out what terms you’re not interested in (e.g. jaguar -car) and re-run the search.

2: Use an asterisk within quotes to specify unknown or variable words
Here’s a lesser known trick: searching a phrase in quotes with an asterisk replacing a word will search all variations of that phrase. It’s helpful if you’re trying to determine a song from its lyrics, but you couldn’t make out the entire phrase (e.g. “imagine all the * living for today”), or if you’re trying to find all forms of an expression (e.g. “* is thicker than water”). 

3: Use quotes to search for an exact phrase
This one’s a well-known, simple trick: searching a phrase in quotes will yield only pages with the same words in the same order as what’s in the quotes. It’s one of the most vital search tips, especially useful if you’re trying to find results containing a specific a phrase. 

If you search up motto and 11 google tricks on it , these tricks will appear. These tricks all work.

First day at electronics

Today was my first day at Electronics. I looked at the get ready get thru website and learned how to be prepared for an emergency. 

It said that I should have a torch with spare batteries and a radio with spare batteries as well. 

We needed food and water to last us for 3 days , they had to be canned or long lasting food. If they weren't then we would have to either not be able to keep them for long or just eat them up instead of saving them to last.  

Then , we watched get ready get thru clips. They showed us to be ready and prepared for anything without warning. Families should make a plan for where to meet or where to meet after the accident.

Having some maths into this , we had to figure out how much water my family needed to last for 3 days. 

My family would need at least -  36 litres of water for 3 days. 

That was what we did at electronics for the first day.

Mu Torere - Traditional game.

In te reo , Mr billings found a game that was created ages ago when we had no fancy things like TV , money , video games and things like that. 

This game was called Mu Torere. 

There were not much rules , but to people who didn't know them found it hard to beat others. 

So you had each four stones and there was a setup behind it and you would have to try and block the other player by not jumping over or passing them. First tries were found hard but when the other player won , you could seem to get the point and object of the game.

Every Time the player won , there seemed to be a stone always in the middle. 

If you search up : Mu Torere or abg games and click it might appear with the rocks set up with four. 

It might be more fun than you think..
