The name Taurus means Bull in Latin, The story behind Taurus is that it is actually Zeus the God changing into a white bull to have the affections of the Phoenician princess Europa, Zeus as a bull swam across the Mediterranean sea while Europa on his back. He took her all the way to the island of Crete.

"No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable"
- Socrates
I think he is trying to say that men have to be good at physical training and that a man shouldn't grow old without knowing how capable his body is.
What I think is wrong about this is that it is sexist and that it's not just about men and that everyone can do it.
We can apply this idea into our lives by doing physical training as much as we can and by trying ti do our best.
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:
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:
Here are some before and after pictures of Christchurch when the earthquake hit.
