Every day after lunch time in the afternoon we get to practice our touch typing on BBC Dance Mat. Half of the class room type on an even day and the other half of the class room type on the odd days. We do this because our teacher told us that she meet a woman who really like to type. Our teacher told that the lady told her we have to tilt your computer to how you want it, feet flat on the ground, straight back and make shore that your not always looking at your fingers because it makes your neck really hurt. That's why we are practicing our free online touch typing.

Mathletics

This is my mathematics avatar. Ever day when it is maths or before school we go on our computers and play mathematics. So if it is our maths group turn to go on mathleticsc we have to spend 10 minutes on live that means we get to go online and compete with other students around the world with our basic facts, and until that period finishes we have to go on activities. So we learn about algebra, time, patterns and a lot of different things. Out of the hole school only our class room 23 get to have an mathematics account. If our principle Mr Sweeney payed for the hole school he would have to pay $900.00 per class room. We got an mathematics account because we were the digital class room. I think mathematics is really good for your education and it is a lot of fun to compete with other students around the world.
