About Art Hurumanu

Art Hurumanu -
On Thursday me and my group did our characters, We all did our phoenix except I didn't get to finish mine because I was a away last Thursday. Qyn had a blue phoenix with black outlines on it, Davids character had yellow with a mixture of orange and Kelesi's character was plain black. Our back drop is a grey building and beside it was a volcano and some hot lava dripping out of it there was also some clouds at the back, we also put mountains behind the clouds, there was also a bright blue sky in the background.

Here are some of the pictures of our characters and back drops :

How To Self Manage.

What I did to show Self managing

I showed self managing by being organised and having the right stuff needed for my learning, by being focused on my work instead of chatting with other people and by working my personal best.

Being a self manager means your somewhere at the right time, have the correct gear needed, focusing on your work and by being learning ready.

I could be a better self manger by focusing on my work at all times instead of chatting, having the correct gear, sitting somewhere you know your gonna get work done and by doing your personal best at all times.

My goal is to do my personal best, have all the gear needed at every time and ignore people that try to distract me from my learning.

Fitness testing

Last week in PE class we did fitness testing, For fitness testing we did grip test,  vertical jump test, Sit ups and flexibility test. Grip test is where you have to squeeze a hand griper but we didn't have to squeeze it all the way, you only had to move it a little bit. For the jump test we stood beside a wall and put our hand up, the score keeper wrote how high we can reach, after the score keeper wrote your score you needed to jump as high as you can and the score keeper will wright how high you jumped. For the sit ups we did the same thing as the normal sit up but no one could hold you feet so it was a little bit challenging.

The last one we did was the flexibility test you have to sit down and a put your feet on the board, you also needed to keep your legs straight, and reach as far as you can and you needed to hold it for 5 seconds. For my grip test I got 27, I think I did a lot better cause on my last grip test I only got a few done.

As for my vertical test I jumped 2.3 meters and I reached 2..0 meters. For my sit ups I got 15 it was really challenging because no one or nothing was holding you feet and you only had 30 seconds to do as much sit ups as you can, but I think I did pretty well. The last thing that we did was the flexibility test, The flexibility test was a bit harder
because the farther you reached it hurted you legs more, I got 18 cm. Also a few weeks ago we did the beep test, last time I didn't get to do the beep test, but when I did the beep test I got 4.5 , I think I did pretty good for my first beep test. Every level it got harder and you needed to run faster and faster.
