YES! I have made  this screen castify video. Don't laugh. I get really self-conscious and nervous.

Whaea Ruth's First 'lockdown' Screen Castify

I would like to challenge you all to run AT LEAST 3 times a week. I'll add Pilates, HIIT Training Ab and Butt training videos to this site. I would love it if you post when you have done a training and what your progress is. Happy training everyone.


Beginner's Running Guide    Sorry this site has ads but ignore and look for the helpful advice. I think I'm going to have to start (re-start) at this level

Day 1 27 March - OMG Did Day 1 for Beginner's Running Guide. Didn't know I had let myself get so-o-o unfit. Leg muscles so atrophied (lost muscle mass) had trouble with mechanics of running and  felt discomfort in my hips. my poor heart muscle struggled too so I  got close to  my max heart rate
220-59 (my age) =  161bpm. Was in the 150s at one point. By minute 16, not much difference between the 'run' and the walk.LOL  Favourite parts,the warm up,the walks and the warm down. Will do one of the following core workouts later

Flat Belly and Round Booty workout  Really challenging only made to 8min 30secs last time

Core Exercises for the True Beginners Informative and  gives good advice on 'form'

Maori World Views EOTC

Kia ora ano koutou

Hopefully you have opened and can navigate your way through this site

MOE resource EOTC-Guidelines

We will start by looking at the philosophical foundations of EOTC (Education Outside The Classroom) For the next two days we will be focusing on the Maori World Views module. 
Please make a Google doc entitled EOTC blog Posts so that you can write responses to each post I make - edit -THEN post to the blog. It would be a good idea to copy and paste the instructions onto your google doc,write your well considered response then copy and paste  only your thoughts to the blog -not the questions.

1. "Education in and outside the classroom needs to contribute to the Hauora/Wellbeing of it's participants (students and teachers)"

How do you anticipate training for the Cross Country and the BOIC Cross Country EOTC event itself will contribute to all four dimensions of student participant Hauora?

 I would like you to look at the six  values included in The Whare Tapere section and consider how our actions pertaining to the cross country could promote growth in all six values but only write a response to the following based on Rangatiratanga.

2. "...each member of the group can influence the direction the group takes and as such there is a sense of shared leadership and collaboration"

Look at your student safety management task while considering this quote,what tasks will require you  "... share a certain purpose" and "...  act in unison" and with whom?

3. Your final task is to comment on the post of two other  classmates. Please ensure your comment is
POSITIVE      THOUGHTFUL and, if you can, HELPFUL

Our EOTC 2020 - The Cross Country

Kia ora oku tauira
I hope all is well with you all

I am posting the following link for you to navigate as it contains modules with content I would like you to become familiar with. I suggest you bookmark it so you can continually return to it over the next four weeks. I will be asking you questions based on each module which I hope will promote in-class sharing of ideas and understandings of each module. For the next day please familiarise yourself with how the site is set up. Tomorrow I will be focusing on Maori World Views
