Today for CIP (community impact projects) everyone in Tane Mahuta went around parts of the school and picked up rubbish as part of cleaning up the school.We cleaned up three main parts of the school ,Tennis Courts ,Field , and the side of the school next to the fence. when we cleaned up on the field and the fence area we split up into groups to cover more ground more efficiently.When we split of into groups each group went off in a different direction and all ended up by the fence where everyone was cleaning up together.In my group was Me,Sapphire,Liyeh  and Mackenzie we all went to clean up along the buildings.With everyone participating if was fun and the school is a much cleaner place now.

DodgeBall Research

The past few weeks I have been working on researching about Dodgeball, how to play?, The Object of the game,how to score?, and what equipment you will need to play. I Filled out a template explaining the rules of dodgeball as well as how to play ect.

Dodgeball Rules

Written by: Lucy

Object	The object of the game is to throw the ball to try and get people on the opposite team out. You also have to dodge the balls that people throw at you so that you won’t get out.
Players	You need at least four people to play so you can slit the number and make two equal teams, otherwise you can have as many people as you want.
Equipment	The equipment you need is: 3-10 balls or more (depends on the amount of players) And a large flat space.
Scoring	In Dodgeball the way to score is to get someone out and you can get someone out by either catching the ball on the fall when they throw it,and you can also get them out if you throw the ball and it hits them from the shoulders down.
Winning	The way to win is to get all of the members of the other team out or to get get most of them out so that you have more players left then the other team.
Rules	If you get hit by the ball you must go to the other end of the playing field. If you get out and catch the ball that was thrown by your team when you are at the opposite side you are back in and can keep playing. If you throw the ball and someone catches it you are out and have to go to the other end of the playing field. You can't kick the ball to try get someone out. You can’t cross the line separating the two teams If you are out and catch the all you have to return to your side of the field. If you throw the ball when you are over the line you are out.

Tane Mahuta

Today we started CIP (Community Impact Projects)everyone got split into two main groups and i am in the group Tane Mahuta.Our job is to Clean and look after the school. Today we walked around areas of the school and got ideas of what we could do to make the place better for people to sit and play around in. My favourite area in the school is at the back of the field because because is quieter and there is a great place where you can sit in the shade if it gets to hot. After we walked around the school we came back and brainstorm some ideas of what we could create.My best idea is to improve the school is to create more fun seating areas and create more shady areas.

Day 3 Taking Action Activity 1 SLJ

Activity 1
For this activity we have to watch three videos and then pick wich one we liked the most and why?

Predator Free Video #1: Cacophony Project

Predator Free Video #2: Taranaki Mounga Project

Predator Free Video #3: Zero Invasive Predators (ZIP)

My favourite video was the first video the Cacophony Project . I liked this video the most because they were using technology to create better traps and Sound systems to try and decrease how many possums there were to help protect the native birds. The best thing about this project is anyone can use the idea and then make it 2x better than it already is.

Day 2 Protect Our Own Activity 3 SLJ

Activity 3 
For this activity we have to decide what project we find the most interesting and why.

The most interesting project to me was conserving the Tonkin snub-nosed monkey in Vietnam. When i was looking through all the projects they had done or are still doing and this on caught my because the monkey is so cute and they they had big pink lips and their face looked like a person.I also found this project interesting because even though they the Tonkin snub-nosed monkey is still listed as one of the 25 most endangered primates in the world. Though the project was successful and the population has increased by 75%.
