Bench Ball and how it works

Bench Ball and how it works  

Today In We're on each others team P.E Hurumanu we played a game call bench ball

You are probably thinking what is this game called bench ball
well, it is a simple step by step game.

Step one: In the beginning, you will need two groups of 4 plus bibs or you can be jerseys and no jerseys. 

Step two: You must need two benches to play with (one that is suitable to stand on). 

Step three: Learn the Rules 

1. You can't step with the ball
2. Only one person on the bench 
3. If you have the ball without stepping pass the ball to the person on the bench if successful the person who threw the ball has to go on the bench you can not change to another person
4. If the ball goes out its handover
5. If someone passes the ball successfully to their team member it will be handover
6. You can NOT slap or push the ball out of the other teammates' hands

Step Four: Playtime you know the rules now time for me to go

Collaborating with 9Ay

Recently, 9Ay have been learning about sundials in maths with Mr Rees. 9Ay came to visit 7/8Tz to share some of their learning.

A sundial is a tool that uses the sun to help tell the time. It consists of two main components - the flat plate and the gnomon. When the sun shines onto a sundial the gnomon (the part that sticks up) casts a shadow. This shadow will fall somewhere on the flat plate and using the numbers on the flat plate, we can tell the time.

Check out these awesome sundials made by students in 9Ay:

We loved collaborating with 9Ay and look forward to sharing more learning with them.

Hurumanu

This term 7/8Tz and 7/8Bh have been working together for four periods a week for Hurumanu (modules). Our hurumanu was a combination of health and drama taught by Miss Tozer and Mrs Clarke, called 'Change and Challenge.'

Over the term, we have been learning about some of the changes and challenges we go through as we grow up. The four dimensions of Hauora, being people smart, showing our CARR values and looking after ourselves were some of the things that we talked about. Mrs Clarke taught us heaps of new and exciting things such as how to create a freeze frame to convey a message, captioning freeze frames to share an important message, puppet making, creating a chorus of movement and role-playing. At the end of our hurumanu, we had to bring all of our learning together to create a performance to be shared with the rest of the class.

Check out the photos below that were taken throughout our hurumanu.
