44 through the Obstacle Course in 15 minutes
44 through the Obstacle course in 15 minutes
So close to 45. Regardless of the result I was really impressed with the team spirit. Everyone did their best. Great effort. There was a lot of measuring and figuring out how it would all fit into the hall on such a yucky wet day.
How's that room 3?

An hour challenge against R3 Russell St School
We calcuated our steps for 1 hour!!! We did a range of cool things including maths, spelling and heaps of team work .
Our total score was 144495 steps and then we divided that by the number of participants and our average step count for the hour was....... 5351steps.
We had a mixture of physical and academic activities- all fun:)
Wow! Great work team. Imagine our daily score if we worked out like that all day:) Can you do the maths on that?

The GCC is all go!
This morning we all put on our pedometers and started to record our steps. The classroom was empty this morning before school because all were out doing a variety of activities to increase the number of steps that we do.
We have a 50 day challenge ahead of us. 50 days to help us change some of our habits. It will be really interesting to compare:
1. The start number of steps ( day 1) to the end numbers.
2. Our fitness level? Will it improve? How will we know?
3. Our ability to read numbers into the tens and hundreds of thousands. ( upside down)
4. Our knowledge of what an average number is.
5. How our activity changes. e.g What we are doing to increase our level of activity! ( without being encouraged)

Green Screen Opportunities
We have used instant alpha on the mac but there are a few examples of using Green Screen Studio. What else would you do to put yourself in an amazing place?
Going to Epic in your dressing Gown? or Leaping across buildings?
