This week for reading we were focusing on visualising. We wear looking at Michael rosins poem. I listened to Where broccoli comes from. What we where doing is that we choose our favourite poem from Michael Rosin and we listen to it and create a picture from it. Here is my create for this week.
My favourite Lego activity was the mosaics because it brought out my artistic side and I liked doing my own designs and that we had a choice if we wanted to do colours or black white and red and it was very interesting.
My least favourite Lego activity was pass the bricks because it was nothing what I wanted it to look like when I got it back at the end. I felt like people knew what it was but I felt like they were just destroying it. I could see that the year 5s and years 6s were trying to do a good job but the year 7-8s I feel like they just didn’t want to put any effort into it and were just destroying it and didn’t even care about it and they just added random stuff to it. I was trying to make a water slide park but when I got it back I didn’t know what it was any more and it looked horrible in the end.
The activity that tested my perseverance the most was the cars because when it wouldn't work my partner and I wouldn’t complain about it or just sulk that we got it wrong we continued to fix it and made it better. It ended up going far but not really that far we didn’t win but it was really fun just doing it.
The most challenging activity was the cars because we had to go backwards and forwards to many times and it was hard to make it go far.
I enjoyed not enjoy working collaboratively with others because I like doing my own designs and I wanted to work by myself so I could do my own thing.
Kia ora and Welcome back to my blog. This week for writing I am showing you how to make an explanation. For an explanation you want to make people get on your side and for them to agree with you on it. If you say we should not have to go to school early then you would want people to agree with you so you need reasons why they should agree with you and you need to be convincing and sound confident in what you are saying. Anyway I hope you like my create for this week.
Kia ora and Welcome back to my blog. This week in Maths we were learning divide a byes and times tables. I thought that it was going to be easy but some of them where hard. Here is a tip for doing times tables, Times tables means groups of so if I had 2x5=, then I could just go 2 groups with five in it. 2x5=10. Here is a tip for divide a bys , you can just draw circles of how many people are getting it and you can put a dot in everyone until you get up to the number. I hope that you like my create for this week.
Kia ora and welcome back to my blog. This week in RE we where learning about how to pray the Rosary. There where other options of what to do but I want to show people how to pray the Rosary. So I did a slideshow on how to pray the Rosary. It is very easy to pray the Rosary you only pray 3 things hail Marys, Glory be and a our father. You can probably find some Rosary beads laying around somewhere in you house, if you now that you have Rosary beads you should put them in a special place. I hope that you like my create for this week.
Kia ora and Welcome back to my blog. This week for maths I did a pick a path. The questions seem really easy so you should probably be able to get them. There are some tricky ones in there you might want to get a piece of paper a pencil and a rubber to help you work it out there are six questions in there so there isn't that much questions to work out. I really feel like that I understood my goals for this week and that I did a good job of the pick a path. I hope that you enjoy doing it.

This week in maths we were looking at fractions. fractions are very easy and fun. To me they are one of the easiest maths problems because you can work it out on anything. Anyway I hope you like my pick path and I hope you have fun working out the answers.
Kia ora Welcome back to my blog or Welcome to my blog. This week in maths we were looking at fractions. To me fractions are fairly easy, but to other people they are a bit harder. What I do when I work out fraction I draw boxes and then put one number into each box until there are no more numbers left. It is probably the easiest way to solve fractions. If you don't know what I am talking about then you can look at how I worked out the fractions in my slideshow.
Kia ora and welcome back to my blog this week in RE I chose to do a poster. we had to include a Quote, main idea, the verse, and a fact. my Quote was I am the bread of life my main idea was that if you believe in God and Jesus then you will have eternal life and your soul will live on in Heaven. The verse was John 6:48-51.My fact was that after the feast was done and everyone went home there were still 12 baskets left. Anyway down bellow is my poster
Hi welcome back to my blog this week at school for writing we were looking at a video called Umbrella what happens is that there a girl and her mum going to a orphanage to donate some toys. The writing was about empathy. Empathy is putting yourself in someone else's shoes
The Yellow UmbrellaOn the 20th of May we went to Margaret Mahy,
Victoria square, we fed the tuna,
went on a waka,
found 3 Māori mats and we did some rubbings.
At Victoria Square we drew a pou and went to look at all of the signs that said
what the Māori mats were for,
we learnt what all of the Māori mats meant.
My favourite part of the trip was the waka.
It was really fun, first we got into two groups and found a partner in the group.
Once you got a partner you would stand beside each other.
After that we got the paddles and learnt how to use them.
It was very easy to use them.
After we got in the waka and sat on one side of the waka then we started paddling.
I was so excited it was so fun paddling. We were in the waka for so long it was such a fun activity.
Something I learnt was that the black paving around the park has a song engraved
into it and it has lots of stories
behind all the carvings.
We found somewhere to sit down and go
on the black pavement and did some rubbings
It was so fun learning about the carvings on the black pavement.
Another thing that I learned was
that eels have teeth and when they take the food
there teeth scrape against the spoon.
The thing I found the most interesting was
when we looked at the Māori mats it was so interesting finding out what all of the Māori mats meant.
Mrs Bryce
told us that if there was an earthquake then the mat would be fine and some builders would be able
to take it
out of the ground and find another place for the mat to go.
That was
the thing I found most interesting.
This trip has helped me with my PBL because in Victoria Square there were many interesting pou.
I think
the reason that we went there
was so the teachers could get ideas for what we
could put around our school.
This week in maths I was learning how to do place value and compensation. place value and compensation is very simple to do you can use it to work out almost any maths problem. Place value and compensation is one of my favourite ways to work out maths problems.
This week in Maths I have been learning how to do place value with timetable. My maths goal this week is use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication problems with whole numbers - Place value. It was very fun learning how to work out timetables with place value, It has been very easy to work out timetables now I can work out really big problems. Did you think this was easy or hard ? Do you know any others strategies that you can use to work out Timetables?
Kia Ora
This week for my maths goal, We were learning to solve subtraction problems by using reversibility bellow is my create task .
This week for Maths we have been learning how to do rounding and compensating. On my create that I have done you can learn how to do rounding and compensating. Once you understand it is really easy to use in maths. Here is an example of how to rounding and compensating 263+200-3=460.out of all the maths strategies rounding and compensating I have done other strategies on my blog and you can look at those if you want to learn more maths strategies to use in maths. If you do than it will be easier to under stand maths than it will be easier to solve.
Hi this week in maths we were learning how to do place value and tidy numbers to solve subtraction problems.
It was fun making this but some I had to rush to get it done. I hope that you enjoy this slide show and learn how to do tidy numbers and maths.
I like place value the best out of both of them because it is easier for me and easier to use.
