Market day
Yesterday was Market Day. The first thing that we did was set up out stand by putting out poster up and setting our table in place. Our team consists of me as the CEO, Faye as Financial/sales manager, Kristille as the Marketing Manager and Shane as the Production Manager.
If two of us wanted to go and look at the other stands we would take turns looking. When I was looking around I bought food like ice cream.
Our game is called Pop It, the aim of the game is to try to pop the right balloon that has a piece of paper that either has an S or M, the S stands for small and the M is for medium. The small prize for small has 2 packs of sour gummies and the medium on has 2 packs of sour gummies and a scrunchie or a handball.I also played a game and I won a scrunchie.
So at the end of the day, our profit was $52.50. At the middle of P4 the year 7-9 cleaned up and put everything back to where it belonged
Here is a picture of us at our stand:

Our last PE lesson
We have been working on a lot of stuff including weight and other stuff as well as maths. I liked how we also do maths in PE, not just a separate class.
What I enjoyed the most is playing games with the other class. I saw the link with maths more than the last time we did PE with a lot of kids. I think this rotation was better than the last time because it is quieter and less crowded to be in a class.
Here is some work that we have been doing:
