Hello and welcome back to my blog! In the first few weeks of term 4 we have been writing instructions on the country we got chosen to do. I got Canada and choose to write about the game Lacrosse. Here is what it looks like.
How to play Lacrosse!
Lacrosse has its origins in a tribal game played by native Americans and Canadians. It was made in 1636. It was modified by European people after though.
The aim of the game is to get the ball in the goal to get points.
Lacrosse is a team sport played with ten players with three attackmen, three midfielders, three defensemen and one goalie.
First to play Lacrosse you will need the following gear:
The Crosse (Lacrosse stick)
The ball (made of rubber)
Lacrosse helmet
A mouth guard
Lacrosse gloves
Lacrosse shoulder pads
A Lacrosse field looks like this.
Rules of Lacrosse:
Only the goalie can touch the ball with their hands. All other players must us the Lacrosse stick.
When an opponent has the ball or is within five yards of the ball a player can body check them. A body check is contact from the front between the waist and the shoulders.
The defensive player must be on the defensive side with the goalie. The attackers on the offensive side. And the midfielders can be wherever they want.
The area around the goal called the crease can not be entered by an opponent but the opponent can use their stick to grab the ball out.
A Lacrosse game is at least 48 minutes long with each quarter being 12 minutes long.
The game starts with a face-off between two players on each team. The ball sits on the ground between the two players and the referee blows the whistle and they both try to get the ball.
You must us the stick to pick up and pass carry and throw the ball.
How to play the game!
With the ball in the centre, two players on each team try to get the ball when the whistle blows.
You can either pass it or run towards the goal to get the ball in.

Kaupeka Camp 2019 at Wainui park!
Hello and welcome back to my blog. In week three we had our hub camp. We went and stayed at Powell village in Wainui. When we were there we had the choice of sleeping in our cabins our a tent. I wanted to sleep in a tent but my Mum wouldn't let me take my tent so I had to sleep in the cabin. Which was cool because I had four friends in there. William, Christopher, Kade and Nathel. Here is a picture of the cabins on the outside.
At the time we were there we did 9 different activities.
1. High ropes
2. Kayaking
3. Coasteering
4. Raft build
5. School led activity (Breakout EDU and playing games)
6. Orienteering
7. OLS (Outdoor Living Skills)
8. Search and Rescue
9. Archery
When we wrote our reflection we had to say: What was challenging, What our favourite part was, What we learnt and what we are grateful for.
Challenging: I found the high ropes and coasteering challenging because me and heights aren't friends and for coasteering my chin strap was done up to tight on my helmet so I couldn't breath when I jumped in.
Favourite: I liked everything but mainly I enjoyed Orienteering because I had a a good group and we worked well together and got everything that we needed.
Learnt: In OLS I learnt about this plant called unga unga and that it gives you a rash that can kill you. We also learnt that the antidote is in the stem.
I am grateful for being able to go to camp and have a fun time with my friends. I am also grateful for the parent helpers because one of them helped me get my chin strap sorted at orienteering.
Have you been to this camp before? Tell me in the comments. Goodbye

PBL main artefact with planner 5d!
Hello again and welcome back this term for PBL our driving question was: What will the future ask of us? Me and my friend Pacis decided to make a house with planner 5d.
This house is to house the homeless. It has most things a house would need. A kitchen, dining room, bathroom and laundry. And then it has three bedrooms for the people in the house to sleep in.
What do you think of it? Tell me in the comments. Goodbye.
PBL business cards!
Hello. Haere mai. Welcome back to my blog. This term for PBL we had to design something to help the future. And with that a sub artefact. Like a brioche or a business card. Me and Pacis made a business card and poster. For the business card we used the website logo-maker.
This is our business card. I am very proud of it because it looks professional and has our own custom logo. Have you ever created a business card with logo-maker? Tell me in the comments. See ya.
Stanford Lagunita course!
Hello and welcome back. Throughout the term we have been doing the Stanford Lagunita course.
In lesson 1 we were learning about what math is and finding out other things that math really is.
In lesson 2 we learned about having a growth mindset during math because if you have a growth mindset you achieve more. Where as if you have a fixed mindset then you not opening yourself up to new things.
In lesson 3 we learned about making mistakes and about speed. You do NOT have to be fast at math because most successors in math actually are slow and take their time to work out the equation. And mistakes help your brain grow because you are learning off what you have done wrong.
In lesson 4 we learned about making connections and that you can work with others to get the answer because then everyone contributes ideas and maybe if you put them altogether then you could get the answer.
In lesson 5 we learned about number patterns and that math can be all to do with patterns. Sometimes you just need to find the pattern and you have the answer.
And in lesson 6 we learned about math in life and the spiral that Fibonacci found out.
Have you done this course? Tell me what you thought about it in the comments. Goodbye.
