On Tuesday I had to identify the perimeter of a shape. The first 9 questions i was good i got the hang of it and then got all of it correct. The hard part for me was adding it all together, it started of easy and then really difficult. I finished my task at question 20 and got 17/20 correct. I really need to work on adding heaps of numbers at the same time..

On Monday the year 8 and year 7 boys stayed with Karena and Tracy. Our task was to see which group could stack the most shoes. It was all about the way we had to stack the shoes, we had to balance it and also use a lot of different techniques to stack it. To me the amount of shoes don't matter but it the way you stack it and balance it. My group, group B we did not have faith that we were gonna win, but then we won and the feeling was cool and stinky.
