I explored on Mathisfun.com to find a great maths game and found checkers. There are many different types of games that may help you with addition, subtraction, multiplication or even division! I found checkers very simple although fun. I enjoyed that it made me think about what move I should do next and that you are able to play against a robot in case you'd like to improve on your checker skills.
Swimming Lessons
17/8/21
For two weeks the whole of Edmund Hillary School has been going to Massey Park Pools. We were able to learn how to swim and how to be calm when in a bad situation that includes water. Only 13 of the students in room 10 went swimming, the other 9 students were able to watch and learn. During our swimming lessons the 9 people who didn’t swim had to read a book and chat with each other. There were 3 instructors who made sure that all of us were safe.
Food Tech
On Monday, my class went to Papakura Intermediate for tech. We’ve been learning how to make many different types of dishes. Yesterday we made Cheesy Potato Bites. We used many ingredients like bacon, potatoes and cheese. So far during Food Tech we have made Deviled Eggs, Pizza Rolls, Mozzarella Cheese Bites and Cheesy Potato Bites.
This week I've learnt many things although the most I've learnt would be the new words from our spelling list. One of the interesting words I've learnt was ursiform, which means "having a form of a bear.". I've never heard of the word ursiform before so it was pretty intruiging to learn about it.
