My favourite part of athletics

Sprints

Athletics day was over very quickly. Our last activity was sprints. I was very excited because I am good at running. It started from Yr 0 to Yr 8. People were going very fast. When it was Yr 5 boys turn they ran like the wind. Sam was running his fastest and his feet were moving like flash. I wasn't sure who won because they were running at supersonic speed. It was getting closer to our turn. I was a Yr 6. It was Yr 6 girls turn. This was going to be interesting. The girls boosted of like they had nitro. Mia was running her fast because when she came back she was puffing. The second race for the Yr six girls. Mia sprinted off and took fast small steps and won. It was finally Yr six boys turn. My heart was beating fast I started feeling nervous and I was worried that I would lose. Off we went I sprinted my hardest. Daniel caught up to me and we were coming a tie. I ran faster and beat him my feet were moving so fast. Finish. I had finished in first place. I was happy but it wasn't over yet. It was the Yr six boys seconds turn AJ and Shannon were so fast I didn't think I would win. The third race for the Yr six boys. The final people were Daniel, AJ, Shannon and me. Ms Kirkpatrick clapped the clapper and we ran AJ and Shannon already past me that quickly. Daniel was catching up. Daniel started slowing down and I started catching up to Shannon. The race finished. Aj came first. Shannon came second and I came third. I was really tired that day was really exhausted and tired. I went my fastest. I thing the Yr six boys ran faster than Usain Blot.

2 and 5 times table

This is my 2 and 5 times tables. I did this because I wanted to say the 2 and 5 times tables in my language. I learnt 2 and five times table in my own language.

Blog comments

I commented on Pt England, Glenn Innes and Saint patricks. I did this because I enjoyed the movies. I learnt a lot of things about the film festival movies.

Lever Challenge

Challenge 2: Lift the stack of books.

WALT made observations about effort and load.

Instructions:

1. Try moving the stack of books with your little finger.
1. What simple machine do you need to move the books with one finger? : Lever
2. Why? Because there is a fulcrum
2. Use the simple machine to lift the books with one finger.
1. Where did you place the parts of the simple machine? The fulcrum near the books
3. Change the system around and try again.
1. What do you notice? If the fulcrum is closer to the books the books are easier to lift
2. What is easier? No because this time we put the fulcrum near the back of the stick

4. Conclusion: What is the trade-off? (What do you need to do to move a heavy object with little effort?) You have to put the fulcrum near the heavy object

Use this table to record your observations.

Changes in the simple machine	Difficulty to move the stack.
Medium Stick	Kind of hard but managed to lift it
Long Stick	Easy
Short Stick	It was Hard - we struggled to lift the books

Task:

• Make an A4 poster / infographic about this challenge’s simple machine. Information it must have is:
• what the machine is used for
• how to make work easier
• what the trade off is

This is a challenge. We had to find out what we use and what we did. I did this because I didn't know anything about how to use a lever. I learnt how to use a lever properly.

4 times table DLO

This is our 4 times table DLO. We had to write the times tables in numbers then words. After that we had to record ourselves saying it in English then our own language. I did this because I wanted to memorise the 4 times table in my own language. I learnt 4 times tables in my own language.

Lever poster

This is my lever poster. I worked with Daniel. I did this because I did not know much about levers. I learnt a lot about levers
