Today we ummm we started the standing up competition for the Olympics. Then we did curling by pushing tape in the room. We used a metre stick and a ruler to measure how far the tape landed from the spot. Then we worked on our literacy circles. After recess we played the spelling Olympic game. Students spelt the words and the most was the winner. Then we had math. Then we ate lunch. I ate a velociraptor. After lunch we did more math and then we played a Olympic game using times. Then we had afternoon recess. Now we have music and gym. I miss school when i am not at it. I do not like the weekends because I cannot go to school.
