Water safety

This week was the life jacket week. We had to wear life jackets. The first thing we did was paddle and kick to the other platform. The second thing that we did was swimming to the wall then float on our backs. The last thing we did was a pencil dive.A pencil dive is when you put your hand on your head and the other hand across your waist and take a big step forward.It was really fun because I love the teachers who teach me because they liked me in their group.

LI: apply inquiry, literacy and numeracy skills to learn about the RWC.
My maths learning for today was to fill this table by coverting the 6pm time in Japan to the times in the differents countries shown in the table for the final of the Rugby World Cup.

What is the 24hr clock?
Acording to Simple Wikipedia( my source) a 24-hour clock is a way of telling the time in which the day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hours, numbered from 0 to 24. It does not use a.m. or p.m. ... A time in the 24-hour clock is written in the form hours:minutes (for example, 01:23), or hours:minutes:seconds (01:23:45).

Time changes if you go to one hemisphere to another hemisphere and when you cross over the equator.
