Reflection & Real-World Application

  • How does budgeting for a fundraiser like this teach us about real-life financial planning?

  • If the goal is to raise funds for the kura, what is a realistic target profit for one hangi fundraiser? (e.g., $500, $1000)?

  • Based on what you have learned about the hangi fundraiser, would you support having a hangi every month as a fundraiser? Why/why not?

  • What other fundraisers could be considered?

Your Athletics Training Reflection

 Kia ora koutou oku tauira pukumahi

I admit I have high expectations of you and they are underpinned by the belief that you CAN and WILL train more effectively and purposefully if YOU took complete charge of your training. However, many of you exceeded even my expectations. It was a delight to witness you totally engrossed in training you had planned.- informed by reflecting on how effective your training was, what next.. and researching coaching advice from the internet.  Tino miharo to koutou whakaritenga!

Now I would like you to:

1. Choose a reflection from your 'Log It or Lose It' OR your Portfolio Entry 2 which best captures your response to/in this module of learning.

2. Check for any spelling/punctuation/grammatical errors and edit.

3. Copy and paste it here.

Your task over the next week is to respond to the posts of three classmates. I know you will ensure your responses are: POSITIVE   SUPPORTIVE   HELPFUL

                    Ma te manaakitanga e whakapakari taatou
