Gym Rocks!.

Friday is gym YAY.

Today where are having so much fun at gym.  We are doing cartwheels and bridges. 
Lily, Holly and me (Olivia) are all doing it.  Holly's act is the splits, a one handed cartwheel with a handstand.  Lily's act is back bridge, a cartwheel and catching a handstand.  Olivia's act is a round off, a cartwheel and a handstand.  Where all doing our own acts too. 

Olivia's doing a handstand then a round off then a roley poley and finishing off with a handstand into a back bridge.  Holly's doing a cartwheel, then the splits, then a ham stretch and finishing off with a straight jump.  Lily's doing a cartwheel followed by backwards roley poley then a scale followed by a forward roll and finishing with a back bridge.

Lava Lamp

This is one of our lava lamps.  First you have to
pour 3/4 cup cooking oil into the glass.  Pour some water in. Try not to make it over flow. Drop ten drops of  food colouring in.   Put 1/2 of alka-selza tablet in.  Now watch the reaction.

Science Time

On Thursday 21 June Room 7 made Lava Lamps for science.  We failed of course, but that's what scientists do.  They problem solve.  So the next day we tried it again and it worked amazingly.  It just looked like a real lava lamp.

Marae maths rocks

Math in room 7 is awesome. Marae group is awesome.  We do so much maths.   I will show you one of the equations.  We are learning our 6 times tables by using our 5 times tables.

4x6=?   you go (4x5)+(4x1)= 4x6 = 24.

Our maths strategy

This week we learned a new maths strategy it was using our 5 timetables to solve our 6's ,7's and 8's timetables here is an example

7 times 6 = (5 times 6)+(2 times 6)
               = 30 +12
               =42
