Metaphors

WALT: Match metaphors with their meaning in sports and non sports.

On Thursday afternoon we got into groups and our teacher gave us metaphors to work out. The target group did this activity previously so we had to only watch the others do it. My group had difficulties trying to figure it out. The metaphor I used was on your marks get set go. Next time I will try and use all of the metaphors.I found this activity fun and interesting.

Aliens angles

This game is a very fun game to play. For this game you need a protractor and you need to know how to use a protractor. If you get the measuring right then a rocket will save an alien. At first this game was hard, until I got the hang of it and then it became easy. I enjoyed playing this game and I will definitely play this game again. Next, I'd like to learn how to substitute smaller numbers to solve problems with 6 or 7 digit numbers.

Area and perimeter

I have been playing this game called area and perimeter. It is very fun to play. I had difficulties moving from the next page to the next because it just kept on getting harder. I would definitely play this game again.

Patterns with muffins

For the past 3 weeks we have been studying patterns in algebra. We had to try and figure out the rule of the pattern. Yesterday our teacher gave us each a banana muffin and she said that you have to use the ingredients she bought to make a pattern on the muffin and the winner gets a prize. I had difficulties applying the ingredients on my muffin but I managed to do it. The fun part was making my own pattern on the muffin. After our 10 minutes was up five students muffins were selected and Nick had to choose which one was the winners. The winner was Ketura’s and I agree with Nick. Next I would like to learn how to more algerbra.

Last day of netball

Today was the last day of netball with Anne and was very fun learning the techniques in netball. 

When we were playing netball there were some funny moments like when someone threw the ball the wrong way and then someone else shot the ball in the wrong hoop and it was hilarious. Anne was so Generous

 that she gave the netball girls some gear to use while training. Thank you Anne for the gear.

Inspiring people

On Tuesday afternoon an author named kate and her friends dreydon and Tony came to our class to talk about the 80km walk they did. When dreydon was talking he also had a presentation made and as he was talking us through of what happened he showed us the photos.

After a while he showed us the equipment we needed when we go on the walk and they were called the camel pack, head torch, pills and a beacon. Dreydon also showed us how the equipment works and it was very interesting learning about it. After that we had to write our own goal. The people that sat next to me and in front of me did goals about sports camp and Kate and dreydon were impressed with our goals. While we were writing our goals Tony was taking amazing photo’s of the class.

Then Dreydon showed us his team's goal and they did an acrostic poem that spelt smart like

s for specific

m for measurable

a for achievable

r for relevant

t time bound.

After his presentation we all took a photo with Kate and Dreydon then after that it was time for them to leave so we said thank you and goodbye. Dreydon has inspired me to become fit and to do a 80km walk if I have the chance to.Our class appreciates the treats and the letter you have sent our class.

Pattern rules

This game is a game when you have to find the rule for the pattern. To play this game you have to know how to subtract and how to do addition. You also have to know your time tables. I need more practise with my time tables and the thing I found easy was finding the rule using addition and subtraction. This game is very fun to play and I will definitely play this game again.
