This term we had a group of kids work with Elly, Nic, Troy and some teacher from a different school about risk taking. They filled out a sheet about what was there most highest riskiest thing was and there lest riskiest thing. Some of them said that going down a pole was there lest riskiest thing and some of them said that singing in front of an audience or putting your hand in a mystery box. They had to do there most riskiest thing. Then the people who didn't do it learnt about what they did but we didn't have to do our most riskiest thing.

This term in maths we are learning about measurement. Before we started the learning we got a rich task and we all did the task in an amount of time. The task was all about measurement and we had a go at the task.We hadn't had any workshops around measurement so I didn't do very well. Then we had some workshops on measurement like, area with Elly, capacity with Nic and weight with Troy. I went to two of the workshop.
