2 math strategies

Hello. It is me again, Sophie, and this week in maths our group have been learning two maths  strategies, Place Value and Tidy Numbers. In place value you add the hundreds, then the tens, then the ones, then you add those answers all together. Also, have a pencil and some paper beside you too because I also have some maths questions. Can you answer all the questions?

My key Messages for some Persuasive Writing

BAO Chunk Writing

We watched a clip called BAO and had to write about little chunks of the Movie. We had three writing challenges to do within our writing: An adverb ending in ‘ly’, positive or negative feelings, and a precise verb that catches the action. Here is my chunk:

BAO, Chunk Writing, Chunk 6     

Adverb ending in ‘ly’, Positive or negative 

     feelings, A precise verb that catches the action.

With wide eyes, Mum slowly walked over to the green couch and sat down next to BAO’s new

wife. Desperately, she looked over at her BAO bun, all packed up with his red suitcases and

ready to leave her, as her last son did. BAO’s new wife got up from the couch, walked over to

BAO and was about to leave. She picked his suitcases and pinched his cheek lovingly. Mum

suddenly got up from the greencouch and was pleading fiercely, don’t go with her, stay with

me! But BAO had already decided that it was time to leave. Mum slammed the door trapping him inside to make sure that he would stay

with her. BAO told Mum to open the door so that he could go, but Mum shook her head.

BAO tried to run around her but mum would not let him escape. Would he ever get out?

How to write a good blog post and comment

The letter to me, in the future, in a time capsule.

                                                                                                     Tuesday the 19th of May 2020

Dear me in the future,

Hello Sophie. This is you, or me, from the past and I wrote this time capsule to you, me in the future!
Do you remember? Anyway.

 In New Zealand, not too long ago we went into lockdown on Wednesday the 25th of March 2020
because of a new virus to us called coronavirus. It is a virus that can kill people so we went into
lockdown to stop the spread of the virus, otherwise lots of people can get it and they can die from it.
If we go into lockdown everybody stays away from everybody. You can’t see germs, like viruses so
if you try to stop them it will be most likely that you won’t get them. I hope that if you read this when
a new virus comes in your time you can go into lockdown and stop the spread of that virus, because
if you don’t you and lotts of other people can die from the virus like other countries did because they
went into lockdown too late.

 I, and maybe you, remember that I, and you had our 10th  birthday and we had a party at night, at
our house and our family a.k.a. the people in our buble, all slept in the lounge, even Lucy, our cat I
and maybe you, think. 

My, and maybe your favorite thing during the lockdown was the treasure hunt we had and every time
we ( me and our brothers ) found a clue there were three lollies, one for me ( and you ), and two for
our two brothers. Then the last clue said for us to go into the lounge for the next game ( pass the pasle )
but then we had to have it in front of the kitchen. Do you remember all of this? 

I hope you found this helpful.

Your’s, or mine,

You, or me, Sophie. 😁

If I could be a spy or a zoo keeper

     If I could be a spy or a zoo keeper.

If I had a choice of job of being a spy or a zoo keeper I would be neithir, a singer because It didn’t say that I had to choose one of those two and I’ve always wanted to be a singer and singing is the best, I really enjoy it and sing and music, the sound that it makes is wonderful. But if I HAD to choose out of being a zoo keeper or a spy I would be a zoo keeper because another thing that I love is animals, they are so cute, loving  and they are one of us, Gods creatures and inside they are the same just very different looking.  I am kind too and I would love to look after animals and be kind when I have an opportunity. If you had a choice out of two jobs, what would they be and what would you choose?

My mascot

If I could have any mascot for anything ( like in a family,
team or class ) I would have a horse for my family because
I’ve always wanted pet horses and mascots are like pets
and I think they are pets. For my family because If you
have pets you would normally have it in your family.
Here is my horses as my family mascot made out of
shapes. 

Outside Poem

    Outside Poem.  

                                            By Sophie.

Flowers grow in your gardens,

Worms help your soil grow.

Owls come out when it darkens,

Birds sing and it’s like they put on a show.

Outside the air is cold,

The trees are growing tall.

The sections are getting sold,

If you climb a tree, you might fall.

It’s good to play outside,

Instead of looking at some screens.

You can also be inside,

You can run on the grass that is green.

   Scavenger hunt.

Scavenger hunts are a lot of fun so I’ve made one for you. You can screenshot

Scavenger hunts are hunts where you have a list of things and you have to
collect and bring them back to the person  in charge. When you find the things
you need to get you can tick things off too.

You can time yourself if you want or race against someone else. You can have
prizes if you want as well. 

What you will need to get for this scavenger hunt( check with an adult if you
have all of these things ):

1. An orange. 

2. A bottle of water. 

3. A cotton bud. 

4.  A phone.

5.  A plastic plate.

6.  A photo.
7. A book.

Thank you everyone that has done my scavenger hunt. Feel free to ask for
another scavenger hunt. I hope you had a good time doing my scavenger hunt.

Living on the Moon

  Living on the Moon.

To live on the Moon you will need a LOT of things from Earth to live on the moon
. It would take months to even get ready to live on the Moon. Before I live on the
Moon I would have to buy my own rocket ship so that when I run out of food I
can go back to Earth to get food. I think It would be really hard living on the
Moon because all of your furniture would float around and even yourself. If I
lived on the Moon I wouldn’t like It because It would take days and nights to get
to and from Earth and the Moon. It would sort-of be fun living on the Moon
though because all day and night you can float around and there are no rules
so you can do anything! I definitely wouldn’t live on the moon for ever, If I had to
live on the Moon I would only live on the Moon for a certain amount of time. Well
in real life I would NOT live on the moon any time soon. 

Ice-cream flavors

   Ice-cream flavors.

There are lots of Ice-cream flavors in the world. You can have together and
spereat. You can have toppings and no toppings. You can have them in a bowl,
cup or cone. My favorite flavors of Ice-cream are ‘ Hokey-Pokey ’ and
‘ Cookies and Cream ’. My least favorite flavors of Ice-cream are ‘ Mango ’
and ‘ Chocolate ’. I prefer my Ice-cream in a cone, a plain cone. 

A day as a horse.

  A day as a horse!

If I had to be an animal of my choice for one whole day
I would choose A horse. I would choose a horse because
Horses are my favorite animals. They are my favorite
animal because they are fast, they look really nice and
good and if you know how to, you can even ride them!
So I would turn into a horse at midnight when I
transformed i would probably wake up because my bed
would be too big for a horse so I would quietly walk out
of the house before any of my family noticed that I was
trying to leave. Then I would run outside and away to
where other horses are kept. I would go there because
I would be a horse so I needed to act like a horse and
it would feel right. Once I arrived I would go to sleep in
the stables where all of the other horses sleep. 

When It was the real time when you woke up then my
day would begin as a real horse. First I would either go
and find some hay to eat  or grase on some grass. Once
I’ve done that and found some freshwater to drink, once
I've drunk some of that freshwater I would do some
exercise like running a-few laps of the field then I
would do that same thing but with jumps. When I would
be finished it would be lunch time so I would go back to
the hay/grass and freshwater. Then in the afternoon I
would get upto  a little mischief and then I would let
one person ride me and just before dinner I would play
with the other horses. For dinner I would have oats
then go to sleep. When I transform back into a human
I would go back home. 

That’s the end of my day as a horse.
