Ugene Polyfest Learning Story


Polyfest Learning Story
At Corinna school we have been practicing and preparing ourselves for Polyfest. During the practices I was good at giving the little kids instructions on what to do. Another thing I was good at was listening to what my tutor says and always not getting distracted by others.
At first I felt nervous performing in front of most  people I know but overtime I grew confident. I was good at stepping out of my comfort zone and showing my ‘love’ for my culture.

Thursday the 10th was the day we made our way down to Hosanna Church ready to perform in front of our families. My family noticed my big actions/ joyful smiles. I could see my parents crying tears of joy.
My next steps is to be more confident and to step out of my comfort zone which means singing louder.

I would to thank all my tutors for teaching the dances/songs for also taking their precious time to create our costumes. They are one of the reasons why we shone on stage because they helped us to succeed stepping out of our comfort zones.

Ugenes Athletic Story: Today I was exhausted, tired and sore. If you are still wondering what I am talking about, I am talking about 'Athletic Days’ My first activity was discus throw where I got bronze. I was good at cheering people on and using the right arm technique so I can throw the discus further. Something I liked was sprint's/long distances. At the end of the activity, I was sweating with tired legs. In sprints, I got silver and gold for long distances. I was good at not worrying if I was coming last I still persevered and kept on running. The activity I didn’t like was high jump I found it difficult to lift my leg and to jump high but the skill I used was to ignore any distractions happening and focusing on getting myself over the pole. My next steps are to use both my arm and leg movement so I can easily move my body to make it over the pole. The next activity was vortex, I got bronze. The technique I used was keeping my throw straight and not aimi...

Ugene Maths Learning Story

Ugenes Maths Learning Story: In maths, we have been learning how to cooperate together and share our ideas with our math group. Maths Problem : Rico builds a string of beads using 3 colors, starting with white, black then red then repeating the pattern. The answer we were trying to figure out in this problem is ‘what the last colored bead?’ First I went 103 divided by 3. We then went 3 x 30 = 90 because we were trying to figure out the groups of 103, from our prior knowledge we knew there were 13 beads left over. We were trying to figure out how many groups of 3 are in 13. We then found out the answer to ‘how many groups of 3 are in 13 which was 4. The given answer was 4 and this is how we all worked together to solve a problem.

The Moves. So the moves are similar to the dance we call the shuffle because you have to keep moving your feet and in The Charleston and it is mostly about your leg movement. Is the Charleston jazz ? Did you know The Charleston is jazz. It was used to accompany The Charleston dance. Cecil Mack was the man that wrote the lyrics and James P.
