Football Lesson 4

Today on a very cold morning we had a soccer lesson with Ben. We had a mini tournament there were four groups.  It was time to use all the skills we learnt for the past three weeks. Everyone was pumped to start. The games were intense everyone was eager to win. Everyone had their eye on the ball like an eagle. Ben started counting down “Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, ZERO!”. Blue had won the tournament everyone was happy for the blue team. Even though we had a tournament we still learnt skills, we learnt how to work as a team and communicate. At the end of the game everyone was tired and out of breathe . It was a really fun and I can’t wait till our next lesson.

Skateboards and Spaghetti

After doing tricks on his skateboard, Carlo was having lunch with his Nonna. She made thee best spaghetti sauce. But when Doris ate Pumpkin's lunch, Carlo had to invite Pumpkin and Curly to Nonna's for lunch, too. Carlo felt weird introducing them to Nonna as a friend.

Geometry - Finding Perimeters of 2D shapes

WALT find the Perimeter of 2D shapes

Formulae:

Perimeter of a Square = side + side + side + side or 4 x side

Example: The perimeter of a square of side  5cm = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 cm or 4 x 5 = 20 cm

Find the perimeter of the following squares:

The perimeter of a square of side  10 cm = 10 x 4 = 40 

The perimeter of a square of side  25cm = 25 x 4 = 100

The perimeter of a square of side  5m = 5 x 4 = 20m

The perimeter of a square of side  50m = 50 x 4 = 200m

The perimeter of a square of side  1km = 1 x 4 = 4km

Perimeter of a Rectangle = length + width + length + width or 2 x l + 2 x w

Example: The perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 6cm and width is 4cm = 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 20 cm or 2 x 6 + 2 x 4= 12 + 8 = 20 cm

Find the perimeter of the following rectangles whose lengths and widths are given below:

Rectangle 1 - length is 8cm and width is 5cm

Perimeter =  (5 x 2 = 10 8 x 2 = 16) = 26

Rectangle 2 - length is 10cm and width is 7cm

Perimeter =  (10 x 2 = 20  7 x 2 = 14) = 34

Rectangle 3 - length is 8m and width is 6m

Perimeter =  (8 x 2 = 16   6 x 2 = 12) = 28

Rectangle 4 - length is 16m and width is 10m

Perimeter =  (16 x 2 = 32   10 x 2 = 20) = 52

Rectangle 5 - length is 4km and width is 2km

Perimeter =  (4 x 2 = 8   2  x 2 = 4) = 12

Evaluation: Today I learnt what a perimeter is and what the value of it.

Football Recount

Today I learnt how to do the scissor kick, it was really easy when I got the hang of it. All we had to do is put the left leg over the ball then the right. But the main skill we were learning was how to dribble. We had a little game it was kind of like soccer, but instead of having an open goal there are cones. When some one from the other team hits one of the cones they take it to their side, and the one with the most cones wins. I can’t wait till our next session with Ben.

Dear President

Thank you so much for sponsoring us so that we can have these great books, we really appreciate it. You are very generous to give every single child in this school at least one book.

These books really helped us to improve in our reading. These book also helped us to improve in our writing and we achieved higher marks in reading and writing.

Please continue to support us. By continuing to sponsor us we will be able to read and write and much more. Also because when we are older we will need to be able to read because reading is an everyday thing.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely

Danielle

Catapult Poem

A launcher, you were!

A departure, you have been!

A toy artillery, you are!

you slinged, my toys everywhere

And got me into trouble a lot

But you still were my favourite toy
