On Friday the year 7 and 8's at school took a trip to Jellie Park. Jellie Park is a big outdoor and indoor swimming pool, but we only got to go to the outdoor one. Outside there were three hydroslides; two of them were the same but there was another one too. The two different types of hydroslides were: a really fast slide and a slower, twisty slide. At the start of the day I went firstly in the pool, then I went on the hydroslide with some of my friends. I'm not going to explain the whole day in detail but I pretty much just kept going back and forth from the pool to the hydroslide, occasionally getting food to eat and walking around the pool. It was really fun but I got sunburnt quite a bit.

Tessellations
Today in maths we got to learn about tessellations. A tessellation is when you have lots of the same shape put together, and there are no gaps. I had to make three pages of tessellations, each with different shapes.
Here are my tessellations:

Hikihiki - New playground
We have a new playground at school called Hikihiki. The playground has 2 basket swings, 2 slides, and heaps of climbing and balancing things. There is also a giant rope merry-go-round. The new playground was really popular at first and for some classes, it still is, but lots of people have started to find it not as popular and they have not been on the playground so much. My favourite part of the playground is the basket swings because they can go really high and they are also fun when you are pushing the swings for other people. Although these are really fun there are lots of people on them and most of the time we are waiting to get on all break and don't get a go. To rate the playground out of ten I would rate it a 6. I choose 6 because I find it too hard to do what I want on the playground because there are too many people at a time. I think this playground was a good idea though because lots of kids are enjoying it and having fun on it! Here are some photos of my class on the playground.

Creating 3D Shapes in Maths
Yesterday during maths I had to design and build a 3D square base pyramid. The guidelines we had to follow were: it had to have a 4cm by 4cm square base and the height had to be 6cm high. We also had to add tabs to glue the shape together. The hardest part of this challenge was the glueing the shape at the end. Even though it was hard, I got the measurements right and I completed the challenge. Here is a photo of my shape compared to a rubber to show how small or big it actually was.
