Week 1 Term 3

The last two terms have gone so fast! This week we have had a maths test on measurement. Measurement is all about area, perimeter, volume, metric measures etc. I have learnt how to use metric measures and I learnt a new strategy, and I have also learnt how to find the circumference of a circle by using pi. I have finished and handed in my persuasive writing and we have four more reading tasks. Task one is a short story analysis, and task two is a short story and moving image comparison from Ray Bradbury and we have to choose one of his short stories and then compare it with the film. Task three is a static image of any short story which we would make with slides, and task four is a static image of any short story on an A3 piece of paper.

This week we have also started cross country training. One lap is 1.5 km and that is around the school field then around sherwin, one and a half laps is 2.2 km which is one lap plus once more around the school and you can even do two or three if you wanted to, and each day we add how far we run onto google spreadsheets. We have been practicing each day unless it is pouring down with rain. I also made it into the Waikato gym festival so I get to go and compete in Hamilton along with other people who made it in.

In tech arts I made sushi. It was difficult, but it ended up being really yum! The most difficult was rolling the sushi because sometimes it didn't work, but in the end I made three rolls. I also made a bar and I called it the healthy sweet treat. It was only made out of peanut butter, honey, dates, coconut, sultanas, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds. Once we had made the bar we had to freeze it and while we were waiting we made our packages. Next week I'm pretty sure we are starting to plan our cafe and I can't wait!
