This week in Maths, we have been focusing on the Olympics so we are doing thing like javelin throwing, football and all of those types of challenges. In the challenges we have to measure the area of things, the millilitres (ml) something of things and the meters of how far something went.

I really enjoyed collaborating with my team, doing all of the different activities and exploring what it would be like if I was in the Olympics I found out that when rowing if their is to much weight on one side of the canoe than than it will tip, so you have to distribute your weight evenly and things like that.

Something that was a bit tricky was getting my team to listen to me and getting all of the stuff together for the challenge. Maybe next time I could ask my team to do some stuff for me and talk a bit louder when explaining stuff.

I am really looking forward to next week when me and my team are going to do the other half of the challenges that we didn't do this week.

Braiden M Holidays Reflection

In the school holidays we cruised down to the Hawke's Bay to see my grandmother. The trip down was very scenic, we passed lots of cool landmarks like the Devils Elbow and a milestone we like to call Rocky. We call him that because someone spray painted Rocky on the back of him and put a face on him.

When we got down there it was around 8:00 - 9:00 pm. We went inside set down our bags in our room, said hello, ate something and went to bed. The next day was a lot more exiting, I woke up in the morning feeling like I had just had twelve coffees. I leaped out of bed chucked on my clothes and ran out to the lounge to see everyone. I had breakfast while looking at photos of my baby cousin and watching funny videos of people failing cool things with my grandmother.

At around 9:00 am I went down to Guthrie Park to watch the football. I was down there for a couple of games before I came home to wait for my brothers so we could go practice taking penalties for when I start taking penalties in my games.

In the afternoon we went to see my uncle at his retirement home. We were there for 2 hours before we came home. When we got home we had dinner, I had a shower, I relaxed for a bit and then went to bed to get some rest before the big trip home the next day.

Term Two Reflections

 Today I was making a reflection slide about Term Two because it's nearly the end of the term and me and my class wanted to reflect on what we have done this term. I found it easy to find the photos and put the captions on them. I found it hard to remember most of the things we did this term and I enjoyed reflecting on all of the learning we did this term.
