Tech: Returning To Tech For Term 3

Today we had our first session of tech for term 3 this year. Unfortunately Miss Heka was not here today so instead Miss Elice was here to give us worksheets to fill out. The worksheet was about Greece and the history of food there. We started by reading a few pages that gave us a bunch of information about the topic. Then we got our first few questions. After that there were a few pages which all contained a wordfind. That was as far as we got into the worksheets, there were still a few pages remaining, but I managed to complete 1 wordfind in the time we were given. Although we couldn't do cooking I still had fun.

HIIT: Term 3 | Week 5 | Session 2

Today we had our second session of our HIIT workout for week 5. In this session, our exercises were: push ups, squats, tap step, and star jumps. Although not everything went as planned in today's session, as we ran into a technical issue. Half way through our workout the music that would constantly be played in the background unintentionally stopped. We were all confused, but were reassured to continue. It turned out that our speaker, (the Ue boom) ran out of charge midway through our session. Now it was up to us to make sure that we were doing the exercise for at least 20 seconds, and had a 10 second break. We did around 5 sets of each exercise, having 20 seconds to do our exercises. I sure did have a lot of fun this session of HIIT. Though I do hope that next time we do something a little better than push ups, as that immediately got us tired right away.

HIIT: Term 3 Week 4 | Session 2

Today, we had the second session of HIIT for week 4 of term 3. The reason as to why I did not publish a blogpost earlier is because I did not take part in the session. That's because I was sick. Although Monday is not what we are talking about. We're talking about today's session. Today we had only two exercises opposing to four. Our two exercises were push ups, and star jumps. We did at least six sets of each exercise. The session ran for at least 20 minutes, and we all had a lot of fun doing it.

HIIT: Week 1 | Session 2

Today, we had our second session of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) for the first week of term 3. You may remember that we did this last term, and now it has come across to the following term. To start this term off, we began by going over our original rotation. But now we have gotten creative. Today we all chose a series of activities to put into the rotation. In the end we settled with star jumps, tap step, and high knee sprint. Next, each and everyone of us would get into lines of five where we would attempt to be in sync with everyone in front of us. For this, we would do an exercise for 30 seconds, and have a 30 second break. This would continue in the rotation that we chose for ourselves. This went on for roughly 15 minutes. Breaks included. We also had Mataio and Tiava the amazing people that they are, demonstrate the rotation, and a few warm ups. This session of HIIT was a lot of fun. The reason being that it was better to have a variety of different exercises for different muscles rather than just working on our legs, or arms. Hopefully the next session will have even more exercises, and even more challenges.
