I can taste fresh air lurking

5 Senses writing

I can taste the fresh air lurking. I can hear birds chirping to their families. I can see horses with their silky brown furry mains. I can touch the electric fence  and get a shock. I can smell Horse poo whiffling through the air. Blue sky overgrown tree top canopies  over a house across from school Te Mata the sleeping giant laying there dead. I hear a plane swooping over my head. Smokey grey sky not rain clouds, something you don't see everyday. I can feel the sun beating down on my neck making me get burnt. I see nature roaming the earth. The horse is running up and  down like a lunatic getting chased with a hammer. I can see cliffs off the side of Te Mata peak.

I see and feel Pollen in the air. I see cars driving on Howard street, Spider webs spun on the long wet brown grass. Silence around the environment.

Autumn leaves falling to the ground.

What is the difference between area and perimeter?

This is the perimetreter. The difference between perimeter and area is perimeter is the outside of the shape or building or anything really, even a farm paddock has a perimeter and area  

 This shape has an area of 25 metres squared. We used the site Maths dictonary for kids

 This part is showing you all the angles of perimeter so you can figure out the angles using a protractor

 This is another part showing the perimeter what do you think the anwers are? Add them in your comment.

To worrk out area you do lenth X width for an example 3 lengh and 5 width.

Rock climbing (week 2)

Today we went rock climbing. I had an totally fantastic awesome time. I had an awesome time walking there. When we got there I went and sat at the circle. Luke and Steve came and sit by me, well I did say hello. When it was time, I went first I did not get that high but I was going to get another turn when I was on my 2nd turn I had to go up the box I made it ‘yeah!’ I said in my head. I kept climbing and then I made it to the top I was so happy. My legs were num I came down they were so happy especially Tyrone. He could not stop smiling at all. Thats the end on rock climbing week 2 Here are some photos below.

Cube for maths

                           This is the cube side on now you can see 3 across and 4 up.

This is our cube. It is a solid shape. it is not a trick. I enjoyed making it. I think looking down on it it looks like a tall building. Please comment thankyou for reading. The height =4cm, perimeter= 12 (3+3+3+3) and the area = 9cm squared (3x3) and the volume = 36cm cubed (HxLxW = 4x3x3).

 We were all ready. Mr Ford says go! We all start sprinting for the first tree, to get in there first so you don't get pushed and shoved into each other so you don't get tripped up I’ve got #3, #2, #1, #10 and #7. I was full of BEANS. when I won I was year 2. we had a smaller track, my only challenge was my best friend Drew Porter. We gapped it from everybody else and he ended up coming #2. We both put in an amazing amount of work into the race but I just won we were knocking into each other and everything else tripping and pushing each other to the limits but I made it on the inside! I thought I had won. Drew had his shoes on I didn't though. Oh No there was one more lap I had people yelling and screaming go Ben go Ben go Drew. Our Mums were standing beside each other wondering who was gonna be crowned champ for 2010 any way I go into the first corner with Drew breathing down my neck. I take the inside into the final turn. Yes yes its real I won the cross country hopping I’m not going to wake up from a dream it was real. I go up to Drew and shake his hand and say great race! to each other. thats good sportsmanship isn't it???

Mathematics garden
