Olympic Rings

The Olympic Interlocking rings represent all of the continents that take part in the Olympics. These Continents are Europe, Asia, America, Oceania, and Africa.

Week 2 Reflection

WHAT: This week on Monday we started learning about our new habit of mind '' Thinking and Communicating with clarity and precision.'' So we played a game. The point of the game was to speak and communicate with accuracy. On Wednesday we went to the Gym and learnt about tucks, pikes and straddle to practice them we went on the circuits and did them all, including doing them all on the trampoline. This week I think that I didn't Think and Communicate with clarity and precision because I didn't listen to the teacher on Friday.




























SO WHAT: This week we learnt about equivalent fractions. Also in my reading group we learnt about forming opinions about a story and using text from the story to back it up.

NOW WHAT: Next week I want to achieve a maths level.

Fracturing my Arm

In the holidays I was trying to do skids on my bike. When I was doing it I fell off and my handle bars jabbed me in the guts, I went inside and my mum put an ice pack on my guts. Then my brother was trying to put on a movie, he keeps stuffing up so I went to help him. When I was up I realized that my wrist was hurting. My mum said "you're alright, you're just injured, go sit down". But I insisted on telling her that it was hurting then my eyes started to water. She saw me in pain on the couch then said "come here and i'll look at it''. When she looked at it she saw that it was swelling then said ''it better not be broken''. After that she took me to the hospital to get a x-ray. When I got an x-ray the doctor saw a crack in my growth plate and saw that one of the bones above it was squashed. So they put a cast on it and hoped it will heal I have to go back and get it checked again to see that there is no more damage.
