This one is a triangular based pyramid

This on is a pentagonal prism because it ends are pentagons.

3D Shapes

Today I our math group we learned about pyramids and prisms. We made some out of sticks and clay here they are.

This one is a triangular prism. It has 6 vertices, 9 edges and 5 facesThis one is a triangular based pyramid. It has 4 vertices, 6 edges and 4 faces.

Then Nic said to Stephen " Your class is up on stage." Then we started to walk down the cranky stairs. I ran to the other side of the stage and got into my place behind the black silky curtains. I wanted to see how many people there where but I could not see because it was to dark. Then the song started. I was freezing cold. When I got on stage I saw heaps of people. When I got of the stage  I waited . When room 12 finished there song we all had to go back on stage for one more dance. Then the teacher did there dance.

During The Race

When he blowed the hooter. I ran as fast as I could run at the start. On Rongopai street I started to walk a little bit but I said I have to keep running. When I went past Jeffery he ran past me so I ran even harder. And then at the end I ran even harder because I wanted to beat Jeffery but bailey beat us both.

Swimming Sports

On Thursday all the year 3s to 6s had swimming sports at the lido. Last Friday we decided what we wanted to enter.when every one was sitting on the mat Stephen said, "You will need your hat ,your bag and If you need to go to toilet then quickly go." When we got all our things we lined up then we walked outside by the parking space. There where 5 buses outside waiting.

What we went on was a bus that was waiting outside on the driveway. I sat with Joseph. I got in the seat first so I get to sit beside the window. When we got there the first thing we did was we walked to,the 25 meter pool and we sat on the ground in our groups.

In the widths races There were 4 races and the 4 races were kicking with a flutter broad,freestyle,kicking on your back and the last race was backstroke.

I went in the widths so we went first because the lane ropes were taking away so the widths people can go first. David blew the whistle then everyone got in the water it was as freezing as ice! Then david said " ready set HONK! I saw the  people where trying very hard to win.

At the other end of the pool where people who gave out sticks if you came first second and third, and if you came first then you get 3 extra points, and if you come second you get 2 extra points, and if you come  third you get 1 extra point, and you also get one point for taking part. I got first second third.

After the width people went the lengths people went and the lane ropes was put back for them. After you had your race we had to watch of a bit then Christ said follow to the changing rooms, so you can get change he after we got changed we watched the length people go. I didn't go in the lengths and if you do go in the lengths you have to swim 25 meters and that is one whole length.

At the end nic said the points of each house kiwi came frist, kea came second,Kereru came third and tui came last. After when everyone had finshed there event we made sure our spot was tidy. Joseph came with a bag an he said Then we walked out the door and we sat on the grass then Stephen counted all of us to make sure there where 30 of us.

Then we walked over to the Esplanade on a stony track. After 15 minutes of walking we where at a spot where there was a big tree so it made shade.then everyone had lunch when everyone was having there lunch James told us the boundaries. After he told us the boundaries we all went an played. There where a lot of people on the flying fox and the rings.

Then James pushed the button on the honker then it went HONK then everyone came running down to the spot. After everyone was on the grass he said,"Make sure that your spot is tidy." after we cleaned up our spot he said,"Make sure that you have got all you things." Then we walked to the parking lot and he waited for our bus then we got on again.

After awhile we where at school. After we got there we went to the class room and  put our bags on the hooks. Stephen said," Go and run outside for the last few minutes of play. After the bell rang we went back inside the classroom and got out a book a read for 10 minutes then Olivia said," Put your books away and come and sit on the mat."then we did some more learning on the mat. Then we went home at 3:00 PM

I was proud that I came first second and third.
