Hauora

 LI: To draw and label your own Hauora diagram

In order to be able to perform at their best athletes need to have a four walls of the whare tapawha standing. We created this poster to show what each wall represents and why it is important and we aslo had to learn what the four walls means. I found out that an athlete could be better than they could be, whilst making themselves more stable if they ever lose I enjoyed making the poster Because I could see that if all these athletes had these 4 walls they could make themselves better than they already are.

Hauora

 LI: To show our understanding of Hauora in context.

Athletes are trained to be physically and mentally fit because it helps their body and their mind accomplish more by pushing their limits. 

Having all 4 walls of your whare tapa wha is important so you can feel balanced, if your whare tapa wha is down you will feel unbalance and it will be easier to lose focus and it makes you feel nervous, but as long as your whare tapa wha is balanced you will feel proud of yourself even if you lose because losing is a good thing because you can train more and not make that mistake again.

If you win you will feel accomplished and feel happy with all the hard work you have put in to your training it will help you feel successful when you have won.

Mindfulness reflection

LI: to understand the definition of mindfulness. 

Mindfulness is relaxing your body, and having a calm mindset. Mindfulness discriminates against all the negative emotions going throughout your mind. This makes us more engaged in our learning and the things we are doing.  

Today we had a session in LS2 about mindfulness. To relax our minds and bodies we took a few minutes to breathe in and out. This helped us clear our heads and clear our thoughts. It is treated as a taonga ( with a level of respect ).
