Tai Chi lesson T2W8

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog!

WALT: Reflect critically about our Tai Chi lesson!

Today we had Tai Chi with Mr Gordon. During our Tai Chi lesson, Mr Gordon was telling us these different stories about what happened to other people. One of the stories that he told was that he went to a school and they had to answer these questions:

My positive comment is...

My negative comment is...

My random act of kindness is...

But for the negative comment, one the of the boys from another school said that his negative comment was getting arrested because he stole from another persons house. Then Mr Gordon said why did you do that and he said because he was poor. The boy said he and a few friends stole a t.v, xbox and all sorts of things but one thing that he didn't get was food. If he was stealing from a house, it would of been best to take food instead of taking a lot of expensive things because then the boy would of had something to eat.

Another story that Mr Gordon told us was that if you at a party or a club with a few friends, make sure to watch your drinks just incase someone might spike it and put a few drugs in it. Mr Gordon said that he told his 3 daughters that if you ever go to a party and you want to dance, take turns at watching the drinks like for example 1 of your friends stay behind and watch the drinks while the other go and dance, then you switch. 

Our word of the day was Courage. Courage means to be brave and try new things. Another story that Mr Gordon told us was that when he was 7, next to his school lived an old lady that had A LOT of fruit trees at her backyard. Everyone would go over the fence and would pick a lot of fruits. One day Mr Gordon's friend asked if he could go over and get some fruit but Mr Gordon said "why don't we just go and ask". His friend started to laugh so Mr Gordon we to the old ladies house and knocked on the door. She answered it with a grin on her face but when Mr Gordon said can I have just one apple and she had a MASSIVE smile on her face. Now every time Mr Gordon would walk past her house to get home, he would stop in and get some fruits of any kind from the old lady just because he was the FIRST person to ask!

Well I heard a lot of AMAZING stories from Mr Gordon.
