REFLECTING ON P:E

Building Learning Power - Reflecting on (Blind Throw) - P.E What went well? Why? How?
I was close to getting the beanbag into the hoops because of the feedback from my buddy. My buddys feedback was ''you can do it'', and ''keep going''. Getting the feedback made me more confident.

           How did it feel as a learner when playing (Blind Throw)?
It was exciting and fun. It was exciting because I didnt know if I would get  it in the hoop or not.

 One thing I could improve on is ….. Getting a bean bag in the hoop. I could do this by putting my arm more straight. 

CALENDER ART

 Calender art

My calendar art is about my mum, dad, nibbles the bunny, and jojo the cat.

The orange, pink, blue, purple, and red koru is my dad, the dark pink koru is me, the pink and green koru is my mom the blue koru is nibbles and the light pink koru is jojo. I did those colors because they are my mum,  dad, nibbles, jojo, and my favourite colors. The rainbow in the background represents how my family likes going outside all the time.
