Maths-Octagonal Pyramid

 today my maths group made 3d shapes out of paper and I made this one:

It says on the paper that it's an octagonal pyramid and I think its pretty cool. Some people made other shapes but I made this one because someone threw my other one out so this is what I have.

Maths-Geometry

 This week for Maths we have been learning about the faces of shapes like a square has 8 faces and a circle has 1 face. We also had to figure out the birds eye view of shapes and the side views of shapes drawn on isometric paper. 

This is my birds eye view from the top looking down.

Athletics

 Yesterday the whole school did athletics we were all put into separate groups of boys and girls in year groups. i was in a year 7 and 8 boys group and we did shot put, discus, middle distance, sprints, long jump and high jump. the first thing we did was middle distance and we all raced to the end of the bike track and the top 3 got into the zones so they could compete against other schools winners. after morning tea we did discus and shot put we all took turns and the furthest shot got into zones for both of them or just one and after lunch we did long jump and high jump.  for long jump i got 3.2 meters but the furthest jump for year 8s was 4.20 meters and year 7s was 4.27 both made by my friends. after last break we watched sprints and cheered them on as they raced.
