Today we did cross country practice. We went out to run twice around the field, it was cold and there was also water crystals on the grass. Room 7 went out on the field and did some stretches we stretched our thigh muscles and our calf muscles too. Mrs Parker then asked all of the girls to line up and run twice around the field, so the girls ran and ran. Then Mrs Parker asked all of the boys to go and line up so they could run" the boys jogged, and I jogged with my friend Charlie. Well I got so tired, I saw mud, the mud slowed me down when I jogged through the mud, the mud was so squishy my foot kept getting stuck, then we jogged on. After we did our two laps around the field my legs were so tired and sore. So next time I will jog a little faster and not give up. I love running.
This blog is a record of my learning from Glenbrae School in Auckland, NZ through to Tamaki College.

is the thing, he lives in the mall but no one knows him because he changes himself
into a normal person. His name is Death man because he came out of the ground

My hexagonal prism
On Monday 24 August we made shapes with Mrs Raj, We made our nets, we cut around the shape, folded the edges and made the shape.
I made a hexagonal prism. It is a nice box.
My hexagonal prism has 8 faces, 18 edges and 12 vertices.
Boxes are made to hold or store things. Boxes are used for packaging.
When I made a hexagonal prism it was fun, I did not even know it was going to end up into a hexagonal prism.
Learning about 3D shapes and creating one was fun.
