Maths DLO

 

This week we did fractions and part of fractions was adding and subtracting fractions, We had a couple of questions and there are different ways to work the answers out. Here is my Adding and subtracting DLO.

Spring rolls

 Today while the year 7's were at tech, the year 6's and I made fresh spring rolls, for the last 2 weeks on Friday mornings we have been learning about nutrition and the 6 things we need to keep us going, Vitamins,  Minerals, Carbs, Fats + Oils, Protein and most of all WATER!!

We made fresh spring rolls because they are healthier than deep-fried, deep-fried spring rolls are cooked in oil which makes them greasy.

The Olyimpics

  

                                     

Every four years, athletes from around the world gather to compete in events such as sprinting, long jump, gymnastics, BMX riding, swimming, and more as part of the Olympics. The first Olympic game was in 1896 held in Athens, Greece. The first-ever prize to be presented was an olive leaf crown/wreath, James Connelly won the triple jump which was known as the “hop, skip, jump”.

The ancient Greeks loved competitions of all sorts, each year they would hold big festivals of games and competitions which held honor towards the gods.


There are 2 different types of Olympics, the winter Olympics, and the summer Olympics. Since the Olympics started there have been 28 summer Olympics in 23 cities and 23 winter Olympics in 20 cities.

The 2020 Olympics were postponed to 2021 due to covid-19, they were held this year in 2021.


The approximate cost of the Tokyo Olympics 2021 was $12.6 billion dollars, however, due to the pandemic the cost has gone up to $15.4 billion dollars.

During the 1936 Berlin Olympics, two Japanese pole-vaulters tied in second place.  Instead of competing in the event again, they cut the silver and bronze medals in halves and fused them together. This was done so that each of them had a half silver and half bronze medal.


172 or more of the same people have appeared at the Olympics more than twice to compete in the Olympics, it is quite common for people to get hurt in the Olympics depending on what event they are competing in. In the 2020 Olympics due to covid-19 on day 6 people have already had to leave because they don’t want to be stuck in japan not being able to go home, the Olympics usually go on for 2-4 weeks.
