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.

   

Term 3 week 1

This is our groups vocab that the teacher set up.
you will find therese words when you learn about geometry. 

We have made a great learning start to term 3.
My group has been learning about geometry. For those  of you that don't what geometry is it is a math category were you learn about measurement ,shapes and angles and all of those kind of things. these are useful to know when you get older if you want to be a builder,architect or  a baker. I found this learning rather interesting, because I was  not a expert in this category.  I look forward to learning more about
 this subject in future. 

Term 2 review

                                                                                       
     yes unfortunately term two is coming to an end. we have accomplished a lot and i thought i should share with you guys what we have done


For starters, this week we have been doing a lot of fun learning about matariki.

but other then this week term 2 has been fantastic. one Friday we biked down to koka Terri's  family monument. it was super cool.

we also had a lot of excursions but this was my favourite. As you know  our topic for this term was retro tech so we visited the electric village.
if you would like to see more you can check out my page. 




So that sums up this awesome term.

Retro ech

This term we have been working on retro tech. And this is a diagram of an old fashioned drill. I think that it is a super cool item. because it is all manual. My favorite part is how the cogs move. I find it really satisfying how the world has evolved. I did this as one of my priorities.
