capacity


http://padlet.com/skilkolly/sfc0dmjlptyd
I was learning about capacity and what it is.
I wondered what kind of learning or experiences we were going to do.
I found out that when it says 3 L on a milk carton it actually doesn't mean that the volume of the milk carton is 3 L it means that there are 3 L of milk inside the carton.
It was tricky to make sure you put the right amount of water in.
I enjoyed doing the experiment and finding the capacity.
I didn't enjoy getting wet.
We put the watery not in the drain but in the garden.

sports captain trip


Today I went to Swanston school with the sports captain  me, Mackenzie, Matthew and Isiah (Mr Hayden took us). and they use to have hardly any rules like normal school would for example no climbing trees and all that. But Swanston school  has rules like they lets them climb. I think this was a good idea because children don't get bored and learn from what they do.

Swanston school is an amazing school because children learn and have fun at break time. For example they can climb trees and see how high they can go and earn self-confidence, don't wear helmets when riding(you can if you want.) and there has been less bullying because people are to busy having fun and doing what they want that they are to busy to bully.

They use to be like normal school, having rules like no climbing trees, no seniors aloud on the junior parts and they even had 5 or 6 teachers out looking out for kids, but now they only have 2 teachers. Mr Mac, the principal had to persuade students. The hardest to persuade was the teachers, ( especially ladies.) He didn't say students you may bring your bikes to school or can climb trees, they just started to let them like when they saw kids climbing the trees they just turned around like they had a blind eye. So kids started climbing, bringing, building stuff to school. You might think that there would be more injuries but there is less because once the person has done it and got hurt very badly , they would know that they shouldn't do it again or be more careful.

Now we, Torbay school is going to try and persuade the broad so that we can be like Swanston school. I think it would be a good idea cause, now we can learn from our mistakes.

maths intervention week

At maths intervention I was with Mrs Harwood. I learnt that Factor + factor = product and addend + addend=sum. we did a bungee jumping activity and I was in a group of three with me, Eshloe and Samantha. we had three trials and had to get the average, then we plotted it down in a scatter plot. I learnt a lot and enjoyed it. the best part was when I got to make all the bungees and stuff. the worst part was that we couldn't continue because maths intervention week was over. I wish we could have another maths intervention week.
