Hope you are all having a great holiday... Not long now until you will be finished for the entire year which is scary for some of you I'm sure. Please remember your Task 2 is due of the first day back at school. This is **Tuesday 25th October by 3.15pm**. I have spoken with some of you and I am impressed with the progress you have made.

Some points to keep in mind:
 * You are marked on these videos - this means your final grade may be determined by the work you do (or don't do) on them.
 * You are graded up to a merit level - this asks for indepth understanding - you may wish to add a information slide with key points on it to solidify the viewers understanding of our content.
 * You must be able to show understanding of your topic and the influences impact on yourselves and others - remember three (3) other groups from within society.

Any questions please feel free to email me, otherwise look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday! Go the All Blacks!!

=11th July 2011= Week 11, the final week for both Term 2 and Achievement Standards 1.3 (practical performance) and 1.6 (Factors influencing performance). It is really important that you are in class this week to ensure you understand what is required of you given that it is an assessment week.

This week we will be doing your evaluation of the factors you identified in Week 9, whilst also filming your (hopefully improved!!) performance of your chosen circus technique. Your teacher will give you information early in the week about writing evaluations and ensuring you understand what is required of you.

As usual, if you have any questions please ask your teacher in class or through the wiki. Have a good final week of term.


 * Mr Williamson & Mr Bolland**

=4th July 2011= Week 10, and we only have two more weeks left on Achievement Standards 1.3 (practical performance) and 1.6 (factors that impact performance). It is crucial that you are filling in your practical logs after each practice sessions and researching about your chosen three (3) factors.

If you have any questions, you must ensure you ask your teacher before next week when you sit the evaluation part of the standard. Have a good week!



=27th June 2011= Well done on the effort you have put into Achievement Standard 1.2 and congratulations to those who have earnt some commendable marks. We are busy marking your final assessment so you can expect your final marks in the next few weeks.

For the remainder of the term we are focussing on Achievement Standard 1.6 (90967) which is looking at the factors that impact on performance of a physical activity (circus skills) and the types of learning that takes place to improve our performance. It is really important that you attend practice sessions and organise yourself by looking at the week ahead page to see when you are doing theory/practical.

Remember, if you have any questions you can ask via the discussion pages or email your teacher. Also, if you find anything online that is relevant to the topic we are working on, please upload it for everyones benefit!

=15th June 2011= =OPERATION PASS GAME 1.2 IS NOW....LIVE!!= Check it out by following this link to the exercise physiology page

=11PHE - 23rd May 2011= In week four we will be beginning our unit of work on physiology and touch. Over this weekend it is important that you revise your answers for the biomechanics assessment on Monday. Remember to upload answers to the class wiki, and look to see what everyone has been writing. Remember to read the question and answer the **question**.

Please check the Week Ahead planner to see what you will be doing this week and when you will need your gear.


 * Mr W**

=11PHE - 16th May 2011= This is the crunch week team. By the end of this week you should/will be ready for your assessment on Monday (Week 4). These are some suggestions for you this week:
 * __**Write as many practice answers as you can.**__ You should have your two principles that you are going to write about sorted. Write as many practice answers as possible and bring them to class so you can check them against your peers, and gain feedback from your teachers. You will find there are discussion topics on the biomechanics page for various topics that ask you to write practice answers. I would suggest taking a note of the principles, writing an answer and then uploading your answer for all to see. This will help you to see what your peers are writing & help you to study. //**PLEASE CONTRIBUTE!**//
 * __**Come to class.**__ This week is essential for your success. Therefore, it is really important you make it to each class, actively participate, and ask questions where necessary.
 * __**Actively participate.**__ No-one can write your assessment execpt you. Therefore, you need to make sure you understand the concepts you are going to write about, and make every effort to get the mark you deserve/want.

We wish you the best of luck for this week and your assessment next week. Make sure you work for the mark that you want. Do not rest on your own understanding, but strive to understand the concepts, whilst linking them to the work we have already done in anatomy. =Mr W= =

=11PHE - 2nd May 2011= Welcome back for Term 2. Hopefully you all had an awesome holiday, we sure did. The first few weeks of this term will be focussed on completing our work on biomechanics and volleyball.

From looking at your assessments, Mr Bolland and myself have some important tips for you to consider and implement:
 * **__If you have questions, you need to ask__**. This can happen in various contexts - you can ask questions in class, on the wiki, or asking someone (braver than you!!) to ask on your behalf. If you don't ask questions, you are only limiting **your** chances of success.
 * __**Make sure you come to class with the right attitude**__. This means inputting information to discussions, asking questions, listening to what the teacher is saying, and taking notes to help you with your study.
 * __**Contribute to this website**__. This is here for your support. If you don't contribute, then not only you miss out, but all your classmates do as well. Try to add something every time you come on. It only takes a few of you to start doing this to make it something that is valuable and fun to be a part of. Mr Bolland and myself will only add content to this site when we believe you want to take it seriously.
 * __**Put in 100% into practical classes.**__ This is your opportunity to increase your chances of success within the practical assessment. You cannot expect to achieve well in an assessment based on some hope that "she'll be right on the day".

We are looking forward to this term, and hope you are too. Work hard and ensure you do as well as you can.


 * Mr Williamson & Mr Bolland.**

=11PHE - 11th April 2011= Last week of school before the holidays!! Hopefully you have all had a good start to NCEA Physical Education and are enjoying the experience!! This week is going to be a busy week, ensuring we all have a solid understanding before beginning next term and our various assessments for 1.2 (Anatomy/Biomechanics/Physiology) & 1.3 (Basketball/Volleyball/Touch).

Please remember the expectations that you need to meet in terms of contributions to the site. Also, make sure you check the Week Ahead schedule, and homework page so you are up to date!


 * Mr W & Mr B**

=11PHE - 4th April 2011= 10 school days until the holidays!! This week is again busy with work towards both your biomechanics and volleyball assessments early next term. It is important for those of you that are away that you check the site to see what we are doing in class & doing any homework required.

By now you should all know how to navigate around this site. If you are unsure in any way, you should check with someone in your class or see your teacher ASAP.

For those of you in WMN's class, I have added a discussion topic to each of your pages with some questions & prompts to complete your Newtons pages you created in Fridays class - please have a look at the discussion and have a go at answering the questions.

Remember as always to check both the Week Ahead schedule and homework page to make sure you are up to date.

Have a good week,
 * Mr W**

=11PHE - 26th March 2011= Welcome to week 9 people!! We are now in full flight in terms of starting our work on biomechanics & volleyball for Achievement Standard 1.2 (5 credits) & 1.3 (3 credits). Therefore, it is really important that you keep up to date with what is happening in class AND online. If you are unsure of what is happening (either week to week or homework), please check the following pages (click the link):
 * Week Ahead schedule
 * homework page

Some of you are saying that you find the site hard to navigate through. For those of you that this affects, here are some helpful tips: If you have any further questions, there is a discussion topics for any questions. I will ensure I answer these as soon as possible, but others in the groups should answer where they can as well. Week 9 people, lets get into it!
 * This is the homepage! From here you can click on any of the tabs on the left and it will take you to the page requested. You can come back to homepage at any time by simply clicking on the Pakuranga College logo.
 * Each page has a discussion tab at the top. Pages such as this one (homepage) and volleyball/biomechanics **__will__** have discussions linked to them that you are required to be contributing to. Please locate these and discuss where possible.
 * As a member of this wiki, you are able to edit any of the pages by simply clicking into a page and clicking the 'edit this page' tab on the right hand side. Throughout each unit, you will be asked to find content and upload it to this site to help in developing your understanding.
 * This site has been made for you, so it will only work and be constructive if you embrace and engage with it. Myself and Mr Bolland are expecting you to contribute twice a week to either discussions, uploading content or participating in some way to make sure you have the best possible chance of suceeding in your assessments.
 * Mr W**

=11PHE= Welcome to the accessible site that allows you to edit the content on it. This wiki has been set up so that we as a group can construct knowledge which will help us/you when it comes time to sit various achievement standards, whilst also helping you to see the relevance of what we learn to your own lives outside the school walls.

For this site to work it requires your input and your desire to see it work. I will put work on here for you to download for class, readings for you to familiarise yourselves with content, and photos/videos from whatever we are doing in class. In turn, I require you to contribute to discussions, input information on the variety of pages constructed, and give your opinions to discussions.

I hope that you find this a relevant and new way of learning information, that together we can create a resource that will help you to succeed this year.

Please remember to check the Week Ahead schedule and homework page every day as it may change depending on theory/practical requirements

Heres some photos from your basketball assessment last week and some quotes I find inspiring...
