Mindfulness Reflection #1
LI: To become Mindfulness being, in the present.
Today was LS2's first session of Pause Breathe & Smile. Pause Breathe and smile, focus's on creating and training yourself to have a healthier and positive mindset; helping navigating to live in the moment. It also helped us spark our curiosity and focus on our well-being.
This concluded in us doing breathing exercises with the standing bell/tibetan. The bell played a very important role, as it instructed us to breathe and become more mindful. We were required to put our hands on our knees and have a soft tummy, with a straight back.
When doing these excercises, we felt balanced and lightened. We really enjoyed this session because regain relaxation and focus in our well being.

Gymnastic 2 | Maths
L.I To use the most efficent strategy to find the answer.
This weeks focus in maths was all about talking about our strategies. With this in mind, we were acquired to complete some maths challenges set up by our teacher. The challenge I will be show casing is Challenge 2. In this challenge, i was required to solve two questions. the first question was to find out what the gold medallist's score was, and the second question was comparing 2nd place to 3rd places scores and seeing how much 2nd place won by.
Here is a screenwriting of me explaining my strategy to solving these questions.
SUPERFINGERS Challenge
Our focus for this activity was based around recalling our time tables fast. The goal of the game was to remember our time tables and say them as quick to beat the opponent. To play this game, we pick a word and roll two dice that go up to 12. After doing so, we look at the dice and multiply the numbers. If one of the dice roll on 6 and the other on 3, we go 6x3 and say the answer (18) as fast as we can. The person who gets the answer correct fastest, erases one letter from the word. In the end, if you answer the equations and have no letters left, you are announced the winner.
First, we chose a partner to challenge. Whoever won out of the pair gets to challenge another person who won from their pair. The person who won that goes onto the quarter finals, then the semi-finals and then the finals. The person who won the finals is the winner and fastest person to recall their time tables. Afatia won the finals against Chris.
I enjoyed this activity a lot because it was a fun experience and everybody had a very big wave of shock with who won. I hope we get the oppurtunity to do this again.
