Inter school touch tournament

 On Wednesday some people from LS1 and LS2 went to Dunkirk Reserve for a friendly touch rugby  tournament. Competition was split into Y5,Y6,Y7,and Y8 different yeal groups. 

First we played against Sylvia Park. When we played against Sylvia park we lost by 0-5. The skills that we needed to work on was running straight and catching the ball. We also needed to communicate more and not waiting for the ball to come to us. 

Then we played against St Patrick's. When we played against St Patrick's we had a tie 3-3. When we played against St Patrick's we got better at communicating,but we still needed to not stay behind and wait for the ball to come to us. We also needed ton work on catching the ball. 

After that we played against Sylvia Park 2. When we played against Sylvia 2 we tied 2-2. The things we needed to work on was running the ball straight, and spreading out. 

Lastly we played against Stone Field when we played against Stone Field we lost by 2-3. We got better at moving up together in a line and spreading out.  

I liked how my team got better at some of the skills and they were listening to each other more and got better at running the ball straight.

Understanding materials: warm/cold

Insulators are things that stop heat from travelling. The materials that kept stuff warm was the paper cup,tin,and paper. 

The best insulator for keeping things warm was the polystyrene cup. 

The best insulator for cold was the plastic cup. 

The materials were tested with thermometer. The materials that stopped heat from escaping was the glass and polystyrene. 

The insulator best for hot and cold is polystyrene because it has a lower number on both of the experiment. 

Here is the results of the hot and cold experiment. 

L.I To learn and practice experimental methods

Touch rugby

 Today we learned some basic skills for touch rugby. 

First we learned how to tap the ball, catching and passing. 

Afterwards we played  passing drills to get better at committing to the ball and catching. 

I enjoyed learning how to do these skills.

Formal and Informal

L.I To identify formal and informal language 

Informal and formal it talks about something appropriate or not appropriate for a kind of situation.

Formal is when you'll have to follow order, because it is something important.

Informal is when you don't need to follow orders, because it is not important. 

Informal and formal talk about different things from each other. 

The videos below show an example of Formal and Informal
