Term 4 wk 1

This week we started our topic and writing on space and we chose a planet and wrote about it. 

I chose to do mars the red planet.

Mars gets its red appearance from the iron in its soil . The name Mars came from the Roman God of War because of all the fire. 

On Thursday this week we had athletics. We walked down after lunch and started at 2 pm .

First off we had 60 metres sprint then discuss,fun relays , 100 metre sprint and High jump.

I came first in high jump and jumped 1.13 meters. I was really exited and happy when I made it first place in high jump.

This week for maths we did bar graphs ,fractions and percentages.

We had to find the fraction of the amount then simplified it and then turned it in to a percentage .

Today Friday we have Grandparents day and my granny came and looked at all my work.

wearable arts

We got our idea for our costume  from the Day of the dead. The day of the dead is when they remember the deceased ones. They leave gifts for them at there grave so the can have something in the afterlife.

We have made a mask and a hat out of paper mache. The body is made of rubbish bags. The rubbish bags were cut and shaped to fit our model. The mask has traditional sugar skull patterns .

Our inspiration was seeing masks on the internet and seeing other cool costumes. we didn't do well at working together and getting it all done. We did well at painting the mask and hat. Next time we could paint the mask better and finish all the work.
