Today all the year 6’s got together into groups of seven to compare their ‘Me In A Minute’ Data. We put our data into a graph and then figured out the mean, average, range and mode of each activity. Below is our data:

Whilst doing this I found out:

• That I achieved over the average in most things
• The most common number to show up in push ups was 50.
• The closest person in Star Jumps to the average was Jackson
• Our group had similar scores

PRACTICING MY GOALS

Whilst doing this activity I practiced a lot. Every night I would do 30 push ups, and scissors to help improve my stamina and stability. With basketball hoops, I used to play netball so I would shoot around 30-50 goals each night, from different angles. I practiced quite a bit at home which I think helped quite a lot.

Algebra:

Most people thing of algebra as (xy x 2g). I’ll admit I used to think that but after today I’ve discovered it isn’t like that at all. There are heaps of different aspects of algebra. Like terms. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, substitution and grouping symbols. Today I learnt about substitution, like terms, add and subtracting algebra and to be honest it’s pretty easy. I have achieved a lot in this session because I was entirely focused on my task. My goal is to complete all of these aspects of algebra. I will know I have completed this once all my maths online tasks are complete. Here is one of the tutorials I was given :

Today was Oaks Day for year 6. We dressed up as if we were going to the Melbourne Cup and then held a fashion parade. I was one of the three winners of the classroom fashion parade. It was a great experience. Here is the description Tamiah wrote about me:

This term our inquiry unit is health. We had to create a booklet about the type of health our group was working on:

• Physical
• Social
• Personal
• Mental
• Spiritual

Here are 10 facts I learnt about these seperate parts of health:

• The first text message was sent by a P.C
• The first phone with a full keyboard was produced in 1997
• 666 is also known as the beast, and it dates back to the 13th revolution
• Bloody Mary is an urban legend
• You need 150 minutes of exercise per day
• The number one cause of death world wide is obesity
• Schizophrenia causes people to react differently to situations
• It is common for someone to have 1-2 dreams per night, and still not be able to remember it the next morning

• If you hurt the left side of your body it effects the right side of the brain
• Meditating can improve the amount of sleep you get

Some weird human facts I found about the human body are:

• The longest finger nails in the world are  8.65m long
• The longest nose in the world is 8.8cm
• The tallest man living is Sultan Kösen and he stands 251cm

My poem is about family and it relates to resilience because it’s about bouncing back and being able to move on.

Yesterday we completed a fitness task that relates to health. Above are my results. I’m proud of my effort and reached my goal on all of them. Here is a photo of the average scores for each sport:

On the range I sit on the higher side of the range which makes me proud of myself. Here is the range of each sport:

How can we make the results more accurate?

Next time we do this I think there should be more demonstrations of the actual activity because people weren’t doing burpies and push ups correctly.

3 goals you are going to work on..

The three goals I’m going to work on are:

1. Practice shooting from the free throw line- I will shoot hoops at home and play shoot and run at school to improve my accuracy. I would like to work on my technique not necessarily shooting in general because it depends on the amount of time it takes to retrieve the ball.
2. Do regular burpies and push ups to increase my score- 50 each every day, then see how many I can get in a minute and slowly progress in arm strength.
3. Practice jumping to improve train track jumps and star jumps- practicing on a concreted line for 1 minute, I would like to get around 180-200 train track jumps and about 197 star jumps.

How did you go? Comment and I’ll try and get back to you 🙂
