first when we got into the water we had a warm up exerciser we did stream lines from one platform and to the other platform and then we had to swim 30 meters to the wall with out standing up and we had to do the same thing but have to go under the water. After that we had to try and push of and so that when we swim it will be easier to swim back to the plat form and we did the same thing by pushing but on our backs. 

Pulley

We learnt about the pulley witch is a simple machine that is used to pull things together or left up heavy things you do that by pulling a piece of string. To learn more about the pulley we did an activity we got two sticks and tied a rope on one of them and looped it around the other and kept going and then we had to pull and when we did that it would bring the sticks together.

   

Measuring

LI: To Understand what Area and Perimeter is.

We had to measure the 5 shapes that are on the piece of paper we had to measure the perimeter and the area with multiplication and addition. Perimeter is the outline or boarder of the shape, and area is the space that covers the shape, when you measure the perimeter you have to measure each side and plus it all together and when you measure area you have to use times tables to measure it.

After that we had to find three objects in the class room and we had to measure the area and the perimeter and we had to put it on a poster.

Kiwi Can

We learned how to not get distracted. Distracted means to fall our of focus. Many things can distract us like talking or physically annoying each other. To learn about distraction we played a game called distraction circle it was where  we had to try and focus on what one person is doing and try not to get distracted by the other people surrounding you and are trying to distract you. the people around you did something different to distract you two of them had to tell a story and sing a song and the person in front of them had to give them some actions and they had to focus and copy the actions without getting distracted. and the person at the back of them had to draw numbers with there fingers on the persons back.

The four main parts of the print design rules are Composition, Text, Color, and Layout. Layout is where you put all of your information and images, color is where we have to use colors that are easy to see so that they can read your text, text when you write information down then you should keep it all one font so it all looks the same. last is Composition is where you put your text and title and images on your poster. We then had a task it was to sort out all of the posters into one of the four areas and had to see if this was good or bad.

3D Shapes

LI: to make, name describe polygons and other plane shapes

We made nets we made them so that we could make 3D shapes the nets were made out of paper and we made a cube and a square based pyramid. we had to rule out the lines and we had to add some tabs so that when we folded the shape all together it would make the shape. 

Kiwi Can

 

 

LI: to learn emotions by body language.

At kiwi Can we got a card that had an emotion or a felling and we had to find another person that had an emotion that is the same like the one we are holding we then sorted them in order. And then we talked about why we should not keep your emotions to yourself and so if we did keep all of our emotions then it would keep building up but if we share and tell people how we fell. Then talked about how our emotions can effect other people.  We then did role plays of different emotions and how we might fell in different situations.
