RIO 2016 olympics

WALT: understand how the Olympic values are demonstrated in Rio.

we have been learning about the summer Olympics 2016. we have also been learning about the Olympic values, we compared our C.A.R.E. values with the Olympic values and found that they were quite similar.

Oakland's values: Community, Active Thinking,Respect and Excellence.

Olympic values:Respect, Excellence and Friendship.

The Olympic value of respect has three parts respect for the rules respect for others and respect for yourself
the Olympic value of excellence has use excellence for you Excellence for others and excellence for the rules  friendship has not got three parts because friendship is for others. For example a kiwi and a american were racing in a sprint race and they both tripped but then they helped each other up and finished the race. They were really showing Olympic spirit.

Zentangles

My Music

The cello is a very difficult instrument to play.Hopefully you like it.

 

My Strand Maths

In strand maths we are learning the mass of different objects.We used different scales. First we thought
about what the object weighed. Next we took turns at the scales and found out if our guesses were
close. Mine were pretty close apart from the time I thought a ball was 2.kg when it was one.
After a few days Mrs baker (the teacher who's teaching us) decided we should measure the ingredients 
for lolly cake and make some for class tomorrow we were split into groups of five I was with
Marcus, Devon,Harry,Annabell and Jessica we were given a choice to make our cake as a log
 or a few small balls(we chose the log)here are the ingredients 
  • 60.g eskimos
  • 120.g malt biscuits
  • 100.g condensed milk
  • a sprinkle of coconut
  • 60.g butter
 it was a lot of fun making it but once we finished it looked more like dog food than lolly cake.
Oops!  Mrs baker then picked a few people to help her carry the cake to the staff room
to put in the frig I got to.(It didn't smell to good either)but the coconut covered the smell
pretty well.
