Cultural Games

 On Thursday we did our own cultural games. We were playing games from Russia, Scotland Australia. There were 30 students in groups showing us how to play lots of cultural games I was one of the students showing people how to play a cultural game. I had four people in my team Saul, Nigel, Mahdi and Naweed. We were teaching people how to play Ula mika . Ula mika is were you have two poles one meter apart of each other and a lei four meters away from the two poles you stand behind the lei and you under arm the coconut in between the two poles if you don't throw the coconut in between the poles you loses if you do get it between the poles that means if your coconut goes the furthest you win.

There were three teams red, green and yellow, if they get it through the two poles they go to the championship. If your coconut went the furtherest,  second furtherest and third furtherest you go behind the red lei and the rest go to the green lei.  if it doesn't go through the poles you have to be behind the yellow lei. Only the red lei people get a house point if they get through the two poles and who ever gets there coconut the furthers gets two houses points because they came first second and third.

I enjoyed teaching people how to play a game from other cultural's. Have you ever have a school cultural games??

Waikowhai student led tooktits

 In Te Waka Ako we were doing our own Waikowhai student led tool-kits we did this because it was STEM week STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. There was 24 student persisting and 12 toolkits to do and I was one of the presenters. We got a form to fill in it was about what toolkit you want to go to we had three session  the first session I picked Drones three time because was presenting it the for my second session for my first choice I pick Google maps for my second choice I picked Webcam toy and my last choice I picked Makey Makey then my last sessions I pick Drones. Then we got your tool-kits that we are doing I was doing Drones, Google maps and Drones.

 The first place I went to the hall so I can present Drones we l had 17 people to present to. Only one of your Drones were charged so only one group can use it. The Drones weren't working so everyone went to Spheros. Spheros where fun they are little balls that you can control is was so fun. 

Then we went to morning tea after that we went to our next session I went to Google Maps. I learnt  from Google Maps you can go to space and look at planets it was to cool we had 15 minutes to play around it was so fun. 

The the last toolkit I went to was Drones but none of the Drones were working again so we could pick another toolkit. I picked Incredibox. Incredibox is were you put people some clothes and then they will make some beats. I made so much cool beats.

 It was so fun we learnt some much things I hope we could do this every year. Have you every had a school toolkit?
