Sheep in a Paddock

In level  three maths strand we played a game called sheep in a paddock. The rules are, if you look out a window you can only see nine sheep, and it has to equal 25 overall. The main rule is you have to have one in each square. Here is an example.

Mr Archimedes Bath (the orange)

Using Mr Archimedes we learned what volume, mass, capacity, average, weight, and units of measurement is.  We read a book about Mr Archimedes so we could start off our learning. This is my slide. Hope you enjoy!

Fast 5 Tournment

Everybody get into position. I ran on the court and shot a 2 pointer. The fast five netball tournament is where only 5 people are allowed on the caught at once.  Zoe and I were shooting like crazy. 2s and 1s were in the hoop like crazy.

Kaiti were our first challengers. Kaiti had good sportsmanship and were really fun to play. The second game was a NIGHTMARE!!! I was in defence and the girl shot for the goal, it fell out and got me on my fingertips so now I have a sprained finger. Then in the second half I went for the ball and ran into someone. I took off  their shoe and scraped up my hands.

The day was all worth it for a donut at the end.

Art

Watching a video of Sandra Silberzweig. She is a famous artist for creative art. I tried my best but I didn't have time for any little detail. Room 1 did abstract Picasso. Koka Katie and Koka Kathleine were so nice, because they let us be free with our art.

The chin of my art makes my whole face look extremely fat. I did about 10 tries and only got 1 right. In my opinion block colours make your art pop more which I like better. I spent a lot of time getting the face shape right so the colours don't work well together.

Gymnastics Festival

Warming up where all the A grade competitors were, Aria, Lola, Alivia, Charlotte and I all practiced vault so we knew what it felt like.  At floor it was like Mangapapa vs Wainui everybody was trying to outskill each other.  Aria did her double flick flack (back handspring). 

It was finally our time to SHINE! Vault was the first event, we all made it over.  Beam was so fun it was my highlight of the day.  Floor was weird because my music kept going but everybody started clapping so I couldn't hear it. 

Rhythmic was an up beat crazy time.  Mangapapa went first, as soon as we saw how good they were we had to change up the double flick flack to a triple.  The top two teams get a call back. We were one of them. I will remember this day for a long time!  

Learning through play

This year for learning through play, the options are P.E, Fabric creations, and Flax. I played at P.E so I have to stay there for 2 days. I played soccer with all boys. They pass the ball to me because they know I will pass back.

Running with the ball passing through the defenders and scoring the goal. The boys were calling me GOAT (Greatest of all time).  Oscar came up to me a said that he thinks i'm a pro. Alice was playing with the frisbys. Koka Leah was playing with Alice and Nathan.

Fabric creations is fun because Koka Nolian comes in and knits with me. She used to sell jackets and they were her own pattern. She showed me her book of old designs. Learning through play has been a fun time to get to know people better.

A grade Gymnastics and Rythmical

Flying over the vault creating a gust of wind behind me. I stuck the landing. 5 girls are in A grade. While we were waiting for Koka Ngaire, we tried to do aerials. (NO handed Cartwheel). We are making up a routine for floor my music is Confident by Demi lovato.

Alivia and Lola both got their front handspring. We learned the beam routine. Their are jumps and leg holds. For the end of the routine, my dismount is a Round off. 

For Rhythmical we are going  to be doing backflips. Lola is the ringleader, I think she will be amazing. Creating a Rhythmical routine would be hard, but with a group of year 6 girls is amazing so Jacks is a cool teacher. Gymnastics and rhythmic has been so fun.
