Cross Country

Today was cross country. It was super fun, I Was really puffed at the end of the race. As a year six we all had to run 2.5 km. My year group is the hardest in the district. I came 6th out of 27. 

To get there we had to walk. It is quite a long walk to get there it took us about in hour to get there. So that gave us a big disadvantage. Especially because year six has to go first. 

I am also house captain so that means I have to encourage my house and get them excited before there race. I really enjoy doing this because we get to do chant offs with the other houses and my house is really getting good at the chant.

When we were all finished I helped pack up. It was really hard getting every single persons lunch box in the car. When we were all done packing up, we started the long walk back to school.

Math strand

Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, in MLH we have to math groups that everyone goes to.
Today in my math strand. I was learning how to measure triangles. Most of the group used protractors. but I used adition to work out the missing angles. the first Time I tried I got the answer wrong and then the teacher helped me and I got all of the other questions right. the people who used the protractors didn't get exactly right, and most of the time you won't get the exact answer if you use protractors. But you will get the exact answer if you calculate it. I found this learning very interesting.

level 3 math!

Today We did some more work on decimals.  I was really glad we did some work on decimals because, I am not the best in this math category. But I was proud of myself when Koka Ngaire gave us some word problems I really pushed my limits and solved the math equations. my buddy Charlie helped me alot when I got stuck. We had a lot of great discussions in that sesion. We also had a turn on a game that I would really recommend it's called decimasters it's fun and you learn a lot.  I am looking forward to learning more about decimals in future.
