TERM 1 WEEK 5

This week on Thursday the call backs for rock band had to have a go playing as a group, so the teachers could see if we were in time. I'm now officially in rock band playing 4 string bass guitar! We won softball 8-3 against room 16, so now we have a 3 win streak. I worked hard at soft materials to get my white hoodie on which was really hard, and some of my pouch poket got sewed on. We had a boating safety thing in the pool and I leared some new things like how you have to lie on tou back with your feet toward the current while you are going down a river, and when you jump into the water with a life jacket on you hold onto your life jacket near the neck and take 1 step into the water. We had swimming sports, and I got 3rd in non champs freestyle, and 2nd in non champs flutta board and walking race. I was also in the year 8 relay for Mangapiko and we came 2nd in the relay, but sadly Magapiko came 4th overall. In math, I've practically finished the worksheet that you have to round significant figures with. I learned that a significant figure would be a number like 10. e.g round 19.73 to a significant figure. Answer =20. At home I've practiced how to read music for bass guitar, and I found it pretty simple. I did robotics for the first time this year and I really enjoyed it. I learned about Binary digits which is known as bits. It gets complicating but the first bit would be 1, then 2, 4,8,16,32, etc. If you had to figure ou the number 18 you would turn over bit, 16 and 2, so the would go 0,1,0,0,1,0.
