MY MATHS DLO

Immersion Assembly

This morning was such a surprise, especially when we found out what our theme for this term was... ART ATTACK!  Not that I’m any good at the subject. Well, in assembly this morning each team had to put on a performance and it had to be about what they were learning about this term. I really enjoyed team 4 and 5’s performance, I was fascinated.

Team 4 performed a short play about an art competition. There were about 6 contestants in the competition holding a piece of their own art work. They all acted out as famous artists. All the actors would have to tell some things about themselves. The judge would walk to one contestant and then we would have to clap if we liked their artwork, the artist that got the loudest applause is the winner. The winner is Pablo Picasso

My favourite performance was team 5’s of course. There was a bit of confusion in their performance for me. They all started painting mad and fast on a big piece of blank paper as they got onto the stage. I was sitting there as if I was dumb trying to figure out what they were painting. Maybe it was just me being impatient, because they turned the paper upside down and it turned out that they painted some of our teachers faces upside down, so im guessing the paper was already upside down? Anyways, it was such a beautiful piece of artwork, if the people they painted stood next to the painting, you wouldn’t be able to tell a difference.

It was a really good immersion assembly, I enjoyed it. I cant wait to get my paintbrush dipped into all the colourful colours and start being creative, not that i'm any good at it like I said in the beginning. But yeah I like our theme for term 4, it seems very inventive.

Tchoukball - Research game

The game Tchoukball is from Switzerand and it was created by Hermann Brandt in 1970. The game was created because Hermann thought that sports should not just be used to form champions but to just be creative and create a more humane society. Hermann is also an artist and now lives in Canada.

It is still played today, there is a main competition called World Tchoukball Championship. Tchoukball is popular in some countries but not so much in others. There are many competitions for Tchoukball. Though the game was created in Switzerland, there are competitions all over the world.  There is the European World Cup, Asian World Cup, South American World Cup and the Tchoukball World Cup Championship.

Each team is allowed to score on both sides of the field. In the game you are allowed to have 12 players on each team, of which seven may be on the court at any one time. To score a point you have to be an attacking player and it has to bounce off the frame, (The frame is similar to a trampoline) and land outside the D without getting caught by the defence team. Believe it or not, defenders are not allowed to intercept any passes from the attack team. You are only allowed to take three steps and you are not allowed to make more than three passes before you shoot at the frame.

Rimu- Adding More Detail

Twisting and turning on the bed, he got tangled in his sheets. Something was bugging him, it was another one of those lazy mornings. All of a sudden Rimu heard a strong deep voice shouting his name. He turned to the window as he heard tapping coming from that direction, he could barely open his eyes. Rimu still felt a bit drowsy, you could tell by his heavy eyes. He couldn’t make out why he could hear his name. Obviously it can’t be hail because it was clearly in the middle of summer. He dragged himself out of bed, and looked. He could just make out a figure, which leant forward and rapped again, with more power in his voice this time.

“Rimu! You deadhead. Wake up!”

Rimu groaned. Ollie! He would have preferred hail.
