Founders Day Performance

Founders Day Performance (Creativity)

On founders day we asked Ms niederman if me and daisy could perform a song in the founders day assembly. We decided to do our own version of Call me maybe by Carley jepson, it is originally kind if a pop song and we decided to make an acoustic version of it and that took a lot of time as i had to figure out what kind of a strum pattern would go with the melody of daisy voice and I worked Collaboratively with Daisy to figure out what to do. And in the end we were not informed about a rehearsal and we couldnt get a time for a sound check and we had little problem with the sound but it was fixed instantly so it was not a big problem. We did a mini sound check in the morning but the mics were not on so we didnt do a proper sound check.

Saturday Football

Saturday Community Football (Action)    29th september 2012

Every saturday Pascal and Duncan organises football matches where anyone can join and a lot of people show up to play football. Every week this is what i look forward to as a lot of very taleneted football players show up and it is a very good opportunity to Develop new skills. I showed up an hour early because i wanted to improve my skills in shooting the ball, my stamina and also ball control. I played by myself for an hour, i took shots at the goal i tried to improve my aim towards the goal as well as how hard it goes. also i did some ball control drills. I also Worked collaboratively with others as i worked as a team to achieve a similar goal which was to win. 

 

Band Practice

Band Practice (Creativity)

I have a band that I had from last year and the band consists of Mr Riehm, Bryce, daisy and me, where i play the guitar, mr riehm plays the bass, daisy sings and bryce plays the drums. We had band practice on the Wednesday the 26th of september. In band practice we mainly practiced Hysteria by muse and we noticed that we had to do a lot practice sessions as we just needed more practice on the songs. On that day we also decieded to play a instrumental song which is either going to be Your betrayal by Fasy live or Canon rock. In band Practice i worked collaboratively with my other band members and it also really improved my skills and developed my skills in playing guitar, as we jammed and played some original stuff when we jammed.

Sports Day

Sports Day (Action)

In sports day i tried to be as engaged in the acitivities as possible, there were a variety of different sports happening such as football, basketball, sprinting and tug of war. I participated in sprinting, football and tug of war. Out of this tug of war was new challenge for me as i have never really done this acitvity before in my life i have always seen other people playing this sport but i have never really participated this and it was a very good experience for me as i found out about how painful it actually gets in your hand as you get friction burns. I didnt participate in basketball because while i was playing football my knee started hurting and it was impossible for me to run and i knew i wouldnt be an asset to the team.

For football i gave in everything i could, i played in every match and i think i was a very good asset for the team. By playing football i noticed my own strengths and areas for growth. I noticed that i needed to work on my stamina and i knew i needed to work on sprinting as i noticed i was getting slower. What i plan to do is go do more cardio in the gym and as well as on saturdays when i have saturday footbal just come ine maybe an hour early and work on sprinting and changing direction quickly as running fast and chaging direction with the ball is very important in being a good football player. By playing football i also worked collaboratively with others, as i tried to play more as a team.
