Cross Country, Moment In Time

My Goal is to extend or clarify meaning and engage the audience.

I choose to blog this because I am very proud of the effort I have added into this moment in time.

Butterflies flew around in my stomach as the microphone went crazy, I was ready. All I  could think about was staying close to Aniela.  The speaker squeaked again “Go”  yelled Mr G. I sprinted like a tiger chasing down a deer. I was shocked, I was leading the race.  Sprinting around the cones keeping my paste, I could hear footsteps coming from behind, I knew she would catch me I thought. I took snippets every 5 seconds but all I saw were glares of her. We were both going through the spiral of learning, I grit my teeth as she accelerated past me. I can only do my best I thought. I was leaping high over the hurdles as the crowd quietly cheered. 

I looked behind me, no one was there, pheww I thought. I went back to chasing her but it didn't work. Aniela looked behind and gassed a little more. My brain twisted and turned, I desperately wanted 1st place. I was onto my 2nd lap. As tired as I was, I was still giving it heaps. In through your nose out through your mouth, Ideas were zooming through my mind. Another lap down one to go. I was yet again in the spiral of learning whoopie, just about finished. Over the hurdles and around the bend. Sprinting down the home strait, everyone was yelling when I crossed the line. I fell to my knees gasping for breath, everything went so sudden, Mr M was running over with my inhaler, Mrs B was telling it was okay and to relax. I knelled there for a while and then got up, I walked to the desk well wiping the sweat of my face. My final result was 2nd but I’m fine with that. Now it’s time to focus for inter schools I muttered.

Who Is she

Jamie is a Hawksbay girl and attended Sacred Hutt college in her previous years. She lives with her mum Bronwyn, dad Lance and sister Tayla.

Holiday Fun

All I could hear were drops of rain hitting the roof of the marae. I was running at full speed up the piles of  mattresses, my siblings and I were trying to find gaps we could slide down into to. I had slid down but I stuck there like glue trying to find a way out. I could see legs dangling from above, Milan was trying to slide down but I was yelling at her not to (in a nice way). She started to laugh, I didn't think it was that funny at all.  Nan waved her arms at us a sign it was time to go. I hassled her to  get an ice cream for us all, but like always, Nan said there is ice cream in the freezer.



Hopefully you have enjoyed my holiday recount of my favorite thing I did.

Math Art

WALT: We learned to reflect, translate and rotate 

A reflection is like a mirror image. 
Translation is picked up and moved to another spot without any change in size or orientation.

A rotation is something that turns around a center point.

In this task we had to use all three, It had to be relevant to this task

Can you spot my reflection translation and rotation? 

 

Canberra Math Week 8

WALT Area and Perimeter

I learnt Area and Perimeter
I am blogging this because I am really proud of it

What Counts:

• Using our multiplication knowledge to work out area
• Using our addition (and doubles) knowledge to work out perimeter

Add your picture of the rectangle you made. Show the formula for working out its perimeter and area.

        Area:10x5=50m2

        Perimeter: 5+10+5+10=30m

Go to Maths Dictionary. Lookup area and perimeter. Do the activity. Take a screenshot of each. Add to this doc.

Make three rectangles using Google Drawing. Work out and show the perimeter and area of each rectangle. Make sure you include measurements (e.g. cm, cm squared). Challenge yourself with the numbers you choose.
