Ancient Olympic Games Presentation

Olympic presntation

LI: To skim and scan to find facts about the Ancient Olympics and make notes in my own words.

We used our reading time this week to find out about the Ancient Greek Olympics. Once we had made our notes and reorganised our information we collaboratively created a presentation.

I found this activity a little tricky because there was different roles for each person in my group my not everyone chose to do it.

I enjoyes this activity because I had the chance to research more about the ancient games.

Hauora and Olympians

 

Hauora and Olympians

 

Athletes at the top of their field train menally and physically because it is both the body and the mind that need to be strong to have a balance as an athlete. It is important to enjoy and celebrate the success you earn but it is equally as important to embrace the less successful times. It is learning you take from losing that makes you stronger and wiser. Having made an error you learn to remain calm in stressful situations. It is having a belief in yourself and the support of your Whanau that keep you motivated 

Mindfulness Reflection *1

 What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a meditation that calms our body and our mind using a mindfulness bell. It also allows us to focus on now, and leave the past and not worry about the future. There are two zones of mindfulness which are red and green. The red zone is when you are angry, frustrated, distracted, anxious, etc. The green zone is when you are calm, clear, peaceful, engaged, etc. This also lets us remove our negativity from our minds, and control our thoughts and emotions. To have a mindful mind you will need to have your legs crossed, hands on knees, close your eyes then breath in and then breath out while your back is straight. 

After doing this mindfulness session I felt more calm, and had a clear mind.
