Inquiry/Making roads

This morning LS1 had to do there must do. We had to get into a group of 4. The students that I was with was Sulia, Angelica, and Florence. Also from each group we had to pick a person to make a flat surface with sand on the grass.  When we did that we had to make it straight so the road can fit it on. The people that you didn't pick to come outside had to make a road with cardboard.

You can put designs on the road like straws and toothpicks. Every group didn't get a success just fau's group and my group. This was a fun task to do with my inquiry group.

Swimming

L.I:To learn how to swim
Today the year 4s, 5s, and 6s went to the YMCA pools. The first group that went was the year 4s then the year 5s and then the year 6s. I was in the year 5s group. We had to walk to the middle of the pool. We had to sit down and we had to do the safe entry. When we got into the pool we had to go on the island/Platform.

When we all got on to the island/platform we got a surf board that we had to hold on. We had to hold the top and then start to kick forward. Two people had to go then another 2. When we did that we had to do another lesson. Its when we have to put our hands at the bottom of the surf board. Then you start to kick off. We could do big splashes with our feet as well.

When we got onto the island/platform we did a special swimming lesson. Its when we push off and we put our eyes in the water and we have to move our hands on the surf board over and over again into we get to the island/platform. The coach picked 2 people to hop of the platform and go at the end where the deep bet is. When we got there we had to take our feet of the ground and we had to try and stay above the water.

If we touched the floor we have to restart. Then we had to get out of the pool and go into the pool where the little kids go in. Then we had to get into a circle in the pool. When we got into the circle we all turned anti clockwise. Then when we turned around we had to let go and float. When we floated the water turned us around. Then we went the other way and we did the same thing over again.

So the answer will be 5. Even when you play add on you can even trick them by putting your hands around your back and brining it back to the front and you just say the answer. The winner had to vs Mr Oglivie. When Pua vs Mr oglivie, Mr Oglivie did a trick on him.

Then Mr Matt and Mr Oglivie versed each other. The teacher that won was Mr Matt. It was good game to watch. Then we have to sit back into our 4 lines.We then talked about what was our theme and topic.

It when you have to get into a group's of 6.The people that I was with was Nicole, Matthew, Karlos, Lorenzo, Akuhata, and Giovanni. You even get some cards to build a structure. Who ever had the best structure won.

The group who won for this game was Andrew's team. Then we went back into a circle. We then played add on again. But Mrs matt did questions and even time tables. It went all around the circle. We had to carry on. If we say the answer at the same time we have to restart and they will do another question. Then we went into our points.
