Camp Manitou

I thought Camp Manitou was alright. I thought it was going to be way more fun but I did the same things. Our first activity was called alien invaders. We had to make these "spaceships" that had to keep a water balloon from exploding. We came in last. We had to drop them from the bleachers. We didn't even get passed the first part. Our second activity was in a field. We played lots of tag games and lots of parachute games. Our third activity was ziplining. I went only once even though we were aloud to go a second time. Our fourth activity was bannock. I do not like bannock, So I made a ball of dough and burnt it. It looked like a tim bit so I put butter and sugar on it. I went around to ask people if they wanted a tim bit.

Term 3 reflection

I thought this tm was fun. In math we learned algebra, formulas for finding the volume, surface area, area perimeter of multiple objects, and Pythagorean theorem. I thout it was pretty cool in Pythagorean     Theorem because it was weird on how A squared plus b squared equals c squared. It was pretty cool. I thought in math I did good because I was focused and I enjoyed it. I n ELA we started a new book called the ask and the answer. It is book two out of three in the chaos walking series. We are making a final project. We are doing a skit. In science we built multiple structures like windmills, which had to 50 inches. my partners were Isaiah and Haden.We built earthquake proof buildings that had to be 30 centimetres. My partners were Joacquin and Justine. We then had to build another structure that could hold as many text books as it could. It had to be 30 centimetres also. We are going to start to build bridges. We also had a session on earthquakes, volcanos and mountains. I learned that there are three different types of volcanos. Shield ash/cone and a composite. In band we practice lots of rhythms and we play lots of music. We are playing three songs. The tempest, the water is wide, and mythos. I find the hardest song to play out of all of them is mythos. It is a very fast song. I think the band teacher did a good job this year. In social studies we made a  mythical island. Our was called tacocraft it was located in the Hudson Bay. We had to make sure our island had 10 landforms and we had to have a PowerPoint about the island. Every Thursday we would have a group come in for 8 Thursdays and they would talk about religions and popularity and many other things.
