Sportsmanship

To be a good Sportsman, you should always participate in the game and never break any of the rules. You also will need to be honest and not sulk because when you sulk, you make the game bad for everyone.

To make the games better, you should always be supportive to your team and the other team, and don't fight at any time in the game. The thing that will make you a good sportsman is if you are kind and friendly to your team mates and the other team. 

Taekwondo

Taekwondo was started by General Choi Hong Hi in 1954-55.

Even though in Taekwondo you are allowed to kick the other person’s head, it is not dangerous to practise.

General Choi Hong Hi(the person who started Taekwondo) started Taekwondo to defend himself against his enemies.

Any age group can do Taekwondo.

Taekwondo was upgraded to a more modern sport in the 20th century but the real Taekwondo was made in 1954-55.

Orienteering Week 1

“Good Morning Room 3” Said Mrs Tui and she walked into the classroom. “This is Mr McGiven, he is going to teach you a little bit about Orienteering.” “Good Morning class” Said Mr McGiven. “Good morning” Room 3 replied. “Today we are going to be learning a little bit about Orienteering. We are going to be doing an event inside the classroom and one outside on your school field,” started Mr McGiven. “Yes!” The class was so excited to be doing our first Orienteering lesson.

Mr McGiven drew up a map on the board of our classroom and told us that we were going to be doing a score event inside first. Next he gave us all a piece of sticky pad paper with a letter on it. “Go and put your paper around the room somewhere” he Instructed. When all the students had put their papers around the room we went and told Mr McGiven where we had put it and he put it up on the map. After that we were all given a piece of paper which is called a “Click Sheet” then sent us off to find all the papers and write the letter down and come back down to mat in time. The letters ended up to be backwards “Have a nice Day”

The next event that we were going to do was outside and we had to be put into two groups so we got put into two groups: Triangles & Squares together and Pentagons & Circles together: our maths groups. Outside there were two circles that were made out of Orienteering controls. On each control there was a letter that Mr McGiven called a “code”. One group went to one circle and the other group went to the other circle. We all got another click sheet and a letter that was on the click sheet. The next instruction was to go to that letter, click your piece of paper with the control marker and wait. When everyone had done that we went to the other codes and finished. When everyone had finished doing that we swapped circles. At the end of that event there was no code.

I am looking forward to next week's session and the one after that because it was really fun and we learned a lot and we even did 3 events and I thought we were only going to be talking about things. My favourite part about that session was when we went outside because we had to find the code and only go in on direction and that was tricky.

Orienteering

1. 

Fact 1- Orienteering is also known as “The Thinking Sport” because you always have to be thinking about which ways you should go, which one you should go to things.

Fact 2 - At each point there is a control marker which makes a hole on your page that proves that you have been to the point.

Fact 3- When you are playing the sport you always have to have a map of the place so that you can know where to go.

Fact 4- Anyone can go Orienteering whether they are young or old, whether they have broken arms, legs or anything; anyone can go Orienteering.
