Dance group A

Today Dance group A all did our warm up before our learning. It was fun being the teacher with Magenta and Mrs Linda. I liked how all the kids and Mrs Anderson did the moves we made up. After that we made square, triangle and circle shapes with our bodies. We learned that there are two ways to move. Free flow is when your body is like jelly and bound flow is when you move like a robot. I liked making the twisted shapes because we kept laughing. Dance was fun.

World of maths

Yesterday LS2 and LS1 went to world of maths. We had lots of fun challenges to complete. My favourite  was the Greedy Blocks challenge, for this we had to find out the number of blocks each person collected by reading the problem and placing a block in front of each persons name, for example Mary had half as many blocks as John, so we had to work out how many blocks John had. The people in my group was Zahra, Florence, Mataio, Ofa and me

Dance

Today for dance the year 8's had to create a warm up routine. First we talked about why it is important to warm up before exercising. One of the reasons is to help prevent injuries by stretching the muscles and  gradually increasing  our heart rate. We then worked in pairs to create our own five minute warm up. It was lots of fun coming up with ideas and choosing which stretch or exercise to include. We drew sketches and made a plan to follow, then shared our routine with another pair who gave us feedback.

I enjoyed dance and am looking forward to our next lesson. 

Race for the Rocket

For maths today Mrs Linda and I played a game called race for the rocket. We each had either 12 martians or 12 Astronauts and a pile of more/less cards upside down. We had to take one more or less card and then add or take away an astronaut or a martian, the first person to get to the top of the rocket is the winner. I was the Astronaut and I won the game  

Reduce Reuse Recycle

This is my DLO about how we can Reduce, Reuse and Recycle our waste. It is important to think about how we dispose of rubbish and the things we can do to Reuse and Recycle our waste. We should think twice before throwing things out because they could be used for something else or given to someone else to use.
