Last Wednesday, we had our Sports Carnival at Campbell Oval. Everyone enjoyed the day because it was really fun and we didn’t have to do schoolwork. When we arrived at Campbell Oval, we were separated into our house groups. There are four groups which are Bradman, Newcombe, Fraser and Freeman. I’m in Freeman which is the colour of yellow.

The grounds at Campbell Oval were wet due to rain. Because the grounds were wet, there was a good chance that we would slip. On the day we had various sport activities and events. There were 100m, 200m, 800m, Junior and Senior girls and boys long jump, Junior boys and girls relay and Senior boys and girls relay, Junior captain ball and tunnel ball and Senior captain ball and tunnel ball.

I came 1^st in 100m, 200m, 2^nd in qualifying 100m and last in 800m. I was also in the Junior boys relay which Freeman came 1^st in. And I also participated in the Junior captain ball and tunnel ball.

It was really fun but, some people cheated. On the next day the teachers announced who won the Athletics Carnival. Unfortunately it wasn’t Freeman but it was Fraser! Our team was really disappointed but at least we tried our best.

Two weeks ago, our class had to do a maths presentation. We had to choose a maths subject that we weren’t good at. When we chose our maths project we had to learn more about it on the internet using activities on http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/.

The subject I chose for my maths presentation was area. We had to make a challenging problem to solve.

Mine was solving a square with 149 cm sides by 247 cm sides. To find the answer, you have to times the side with each other. So to solve my problem, I have to times 149 with 247. 149 times 247 will equal 36803. This is what I have learnt about area:

• I have learnt that you have to times the sides (not plus the sides) to find the answer.
• I have also learnt that area is easy and it doesn’t take much work!

So that is how you do area!
