Reading Maps

This week Room 5 has been learning to read maps for Geometry. We learnt what X axis and Y axis were and why it was important to have a grid in order to locate the correct address of an object on the grid. First we drew our maps on paper and then used google drawing to make one of our own. All children enjoyed making their maps and had a good understanding about reading maps. Below is an example of one made by Coralee.

Whole school Boot camp: By Levi

On Tuesday the 21st of July,2015 My school had a whole school boot camp. After Morning tea my teacher Mrs.Sharma told my class to wait for her on the Blue Benches.

When Mrs. Sharma finally came outside she told us to line up in our teams Benghazi, Tripoli,Alamein and Tobruk. After we were arranged into our teams other classes came out.We were told to sit in our teams on the dots outside the office.Miss Kyla told us what we were doing and new our school topic “Practicing peaceful play”. We had to do Burpees, lunges, sit ups, skipping, high knees, push ups, squats, medicine balls, jogging, hula hoops, bunny hops and star jumps. I found the sit ups a bit hard  but it was fun!. My favorite activity was the Medicine balls because we had to run with the medicine ball and back, it was really heavy. It was a sizzling hot. When we were finished doing the boot camp we had to go back to the dots in our teams and listen to Miss Kyla.

The person that helped me the most was a girl in my school called Raena. She helped me with the sit ups and told me how to do the things that I did not know how to do.

I felt surprised,dehydrated,hungry and exhausted. It was so fun and I hope we do it again. I had a great day the sun was shining like a diamond in the sky.
