I Am Hope
Kia ora, Te Ngahere had a special visitor come in and talk with us about mental illness, his name was Tai. He had started with a story about his backstory and then started talking about inner critic. It was sad when he said that he could be in a room with his father but only have a conversation with him in his head. Inner critic is a voice inside your head that has negative thoughts about your surroundings. Tai said that inner critic is a voice that puts you down or beats you up inside. It makes you feel down and stink about yourself because of how people look at you, (for example, if someone smiles at you your inner critic will be like they don’t like you or their laughing at you etc). But there is something that helps you change called voice of reasons, voice of reasons is that there's a reason for your inner critic, (for example, if someone looks at you and your inner critic is beating you up inside, your voice of reasons will be like their just smiling at you they're not laughing etc.) Tais talk was very inspirational and we could all use it in the future. I hope you liked this blogpost but don’t forget to check out my D.L.O. Have you had a I Am Hope talk?

Dot Plot Graphs
Something I learned while doing this activity was how to analyze a dot plot graph and make one using the data we were given, (my D.L.O will show and explain that.) Something that made this activity tricky was that there were some words in there that almost everyone needed to do some research on, example: range, after research I had a better understanding of it as it can mean value in some platforms. Something that could have made my D.L.O better would be to display it differently because there were too many slides that were unnecessary. I really enjoyed this activity because I liked the true and false statements we had to answer. Have you done an activity like this before? I really hope you enjoyed reading this blog post and check out my D.L.O below. Ka kite!

Tremendous Task Master
On the third day of school for term three Te Ngahere did a Taskmaster challenge. For this challenge we had to get into a group of three. Each group had to get some scrap paper. Before we started, we had some time to work on some strategies we thought would help us win the challenge. The challenge we did was a paper airplane challenge. In the practise round we made a practise paper airplane. In my group was Tiana, Azure and I, we were doing great in the practise round. When it got to the competition round we had a couple of minutes to make our good airplane. The trick was that we had to throw the airplane from behind our backs. We started with a boys group who won because their paper airplane got the furthest, when it was our turn to throw we had so much faith that we were going to win but Tiana (who threw it) had so much anxiety running through her body that it didn’t go as planned. Something I enjoyed about this was collaborating with my friends who I don’t really work with in class. Something that was tricky about this was throwing it behind our backs (because in my group while we were practising we all practised throwing behind our backs.) I really enjoyed this activity and can’t wait to do more like this. Have you done a challenge like this before? I hope you enjoyed.
