Trip to town (Tumahana Performance)

                      Trip to Town (Tumahana Perfornmance)      30/3/21

Yesterday (29/3/21) we went into town for the day. We went to Victoria square, while the Yr 7's went to Margret Mahy Playground. We learnt about the Migration to New Zealand, we learnt about some of the things that were there like the phone box, and the statues. There was a piece of paper that we got that had photo's, with an explanation on what the task was. For the weeping willows task we had to try and draw them. We had to draw the phone box but see if we could make it better.

After we had done that the Yr 7's came over to us and we all had lunch, we then went to the town hall to watch the Tumahana Performance. Something that I learnt at the performance was that our classroom is called Tangaroa, but in the south island they call it Takaroa, and we call it Ranginui but they call it Rakinui

Have you ever been to one of these performance before?

Sneaky Snakes~ Maths

For maths we have been doing the sneaky snakes game. We had to play the game 20 times and collect data from each game, We then had to put it into a chart of the average amount of rolls it took to get to the end.

I think that my average was about 5.

Maths

This week for maths we have been making google forms and sending them out to people. I only got 10 responses. This was the graph that I made.

As you can see people like the wraps more than anything else with pasta coming a close second.
 

Gymnastics Day!

~Gymnastics Day~

Today we went to the Christchurch school of gymnastics!

We had to walk there but it isn't very far away. 

We were put into teams of about 10. 

The first thing that we did wasthe trampoline, we had to jump and touch our feet and then jump into the foam pit.

Then we move on to the floor, there was some mats that we had to put our feet on and Some dots that we put our hands on. There were different heights and at the end there was a block that we had to try and cartwheel over. I wasn't very good at that part.

After that we went on to the bars, we just had to try and lift ourselves up, that was pretty easy.

After that we moved on to the beams, again that was pretty easy we just had to balance and walks sideways and backwards. Walking backwards was really hard though, it was hard because I couldn't see if I was going to fall off.

We then moved onto the other trampoline, this trampoline was longer than the other one. We had to jump to the end and got onto some blocks that were on the ground, there was blocks that were small and we had to jump off of them and they kept getting bigger, there were three blocks the last one was really fun. We also had to jump backwards and spin and do all sorts of things.

I really liked Gymnastics, It was so fun!

Maths (100 questions)

 Today for maths we did 100 questions and this time I got 100/100!

This has been my goal for a while now and my time was 9 minutes and 20 seconds.

There is one question that I think I need to get better, that question is 7x9= 63, I keep having to work it out with my fingers. Hopefully soon I will know it well.

I think that I have definitely been improving.
