Football Today

Today Class JF13 went outside in the scorching heat and played football with a coach. We started off by doing a warm up where we had to run inbetween footballs that had been placed on the ground, later on we had to do sidesteps through them.

After a while we played a game where we had to kick the football at other player's footballs. If we hit an opponent's football we gained a life and if our football got hit by an opponent we lost a life.

The people that ran it, Chris and Liam, were great at describing what we had to do.

It was very fun and i'd love to go again.

Here is a picture of me playing.

KEGS Maths Puzzle Day.

Today a majority of children in Year 6 visited KEGS to participate in the Puzzle Maths Day. I was with two children, Lewis and Sherry, we worked well together and solved lots of puzzles.

We also played a game of "Nims", where you have to choose a number between 20 and 30 and the last person to take a pen loses. The key to winning is to start with 22 and take 1, if they take 3 (which is the maximum amount of pens you can take in a turn.) you take one and that adds up to 4 carry on making the amount of pens add up to four and you've won.

It was a lot of fun and i'd love to go again!

The Apprentice

On Wednesday the 20th of May JF13 formed groups of 4 or 3 children, they had to build a bridge that could bear the total amount of a kilogram.

My group, formed with Alex, Abigail and Ross, used sellotape, masking tape, string and newspaper made a bridge. We tested it and it held 7,200 grams leading by a distant 1,300 grams.

Unfortunately, not everyone managed to complete the task, but everyone had fun.
