We are now doing a football tournament for year 7 and 8 because the other groups are also doing basketball. 

What have you learnt/done so far?

We've emailed Mr Hillard if we can use the two Gym and sports equipment.

How does this help you achieve your passion project?

This would help us to achieve our passion project if Mr Hillard allows us to use the gym and the sports equipment.

What is your next step?

Our next step is to plan how are we going to run it

What evidence do you have that this is something you need to do?

We have to learn the rules of the game because only 1 of us know the rules. 

Please provide a screenshot or photographic evidence of your work so far.

Passion Project

What am I learning?
we are learning to work in groups and trying to achieve the things we planned on doing. We know that by finishing the work together. I am working with Vince, Gian, Jhade, Roswell, and Ray. We are planning to run an event where we will train the two school primary kids and after that, we will verse them.

What is S.W.O.T?

S.W.O.T is the group's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Here is our S.W.O.T

Hurricane Katrina

A very powerful storm that forms over the North and South equator of America is called ‘Hurricane’. Hurricane is a fierce storm that forms over warm oceans. Significantly, the ocean’s temperature must be up to 26.5° or more is required for a hurricane to form. With the winds that can reach up to 270 km/hr are able to create a storm surge and storm tides that can destroy buildings and houses. Not only that, heavy rainfall can lead to an extreme flooding, which can take a lot of lives.

Matariki

Matariki, a group of 7 stars, can be seen in the north-east sky. People call it by many names like ‘Mother with 6 daughters’, ‘The 7 sisters’, and  ‘Gods eye’. Interestingly, it only appears in the last few days of May and can last for 3 days. These cluster of stars is important in the olden days because it signals the people that the winter is coming and they need to start to gather and preserve the crops. Nowadays, Matariki is still important because it gathers the whanau and remembers their ancestors who had passed away.
