Describing Athletic day
Yesterday at athletic day was amazing because I made a score at hockey.And I used a skipping rope and I failed but then I worked my way up and then I got the hang of it.Also when I played shotput I was scared because I thought that the juniors would throw it longer than me.When we played hurdles with Mr Wong I thought on the first one I woulded of failed.But I made it.And the last one that I was successful on was throwing tennis balls in a bucket.All we had to do was throw a tennis ball in a bucket in longer places.

Locating And Predicting Faces
Today for maths I learnt about how many faces are on a shape. I estimated that the top shape would have 6 triangle faces and 1 hexagon face, also I estimated that the bottom shape would have 4 faces. I was right both times. I also learnt that it is not about the faces you can see because there can be some faces that you can't see.
