Captain Blood needs a new ship.....Arrrghhhh

Arrgh me hearties.  We been learnin bout measurement tis week.  Cap'n blood needed a new vessel so he got his pirate crew to design a new ship.  The new ship had to be 10m long, 5m high front mast, 4m long rear mast, 1m plank, and 2m flag.  After that we were allowed to draw other features of me ship.  Captain Blood then choose the best ship, but they were all great!

Maze Madness!

This week in maths we have been learning about directions such as forward, back, left, right, north, south, east, west.  First we looked at minecraft mazes.  Then, we gave instructions to a buddy to solve a simple maze.  They couldnt see the maze, so we had to say "forward two blocks, right three blocks" and so on.  

Finally we went outside with a buddy and we got to go through a real maze!  One person was blindfolded while the other had to give instructions to solve the maze.  If we touched the sides or peeked we had to go back to the beginning!

It was awesome fun!
