Hello and welcome back to my blog! This week for maths my maths group and I have been learning about fractions. I have made a screencastify with three difrent maths questions on it. One with 1/3, one with 1/4 and one with 1/5. Have you ever made a screencastify before? I hope you enjoy my work! And remember to grab some headphones!
Kia Ora, and Welcome back to my blog! This Week, my Reading group and I have been learning about grit and perseverance so we have researched about a famous New Zealand runner called Arthur Lydiard and read about his grit and perseverance to never stop running, and because of his grit and perseverance he is now a famous runner. So I have made a google drawing about Arthur Lydiard's grit and perseverance. I hope you like my work! What is a time where you had to show grit and perseverance?
Hello, and Welcome back to my blog! This week my Writing group and I have been learning about persuasive writing and how to write one. So I have made a persuasive argument about Should Junk food be BANNED at schools? I am against that, witch means that I think junk food should Not be banned at schools. What do you think? Are you For or Against this? I hope you enjoy my work!
Should Junk food be BANNED
at schools?
I think that junk food should NOT be banned at schools. I am against this being banned.
Here is why.
Junk food is a common treat at most schools, and whoever is packing their lunch will be putting
junk food as a treat because maybe they need more food, or maybe they have done well at something
and that is their reward. That is only for the person that is packing their lunch box to worry about.
Second of all I think that when other people see that when they have Junk food in their lunch box they
have a smile on their face. When one person is happy, everyone else is happy. Would you want junk food to be banned if they make you happy?
Although I disagree that people should share food, if everyone has a piece of junk food then they
wouldn’t want to share food with others.
In conclusion, I am against Junk food being banned at schools, because everyone knows that junk
food makes everyone happy.
Kia ora, and Welcome back to my blog! Earlier in the year my hub and I went to Margret Mahy! It was so fun and we wanted to share our expirences with you so we made a trip recount. I hope you like it! Have you ever been to Margret Mahy Playground?
Introduction: On the 20th of May 2021 on Thursday, Tumu hub went on a thrilling trip into town. Tumu town trip. Shortly after the school day began, we all hopped on a bus, grabbed our parent helpers
and sped off to the best experience ever! Riding in the bus, all we would do is chatt about
what we think we would be doing with an excited expression on our faces. After a bumpy
but short bus ride we were finally here, at Margaret Mahy Playground! It was empty, all for
us. We got out of the bus lined up, and waited for what was in store for us.
My favourite part of the trip was when me and my team, Mānia, went with Mrs Bryce
to look at the mats, but during that time we got to feed the eels. In Māori, eels are called
Tuna. But I also have another favourite thing, and that was of course riding the waka down
Avon river. How could anyone forget? The Avon river in Māori is called Ōtākaro. We
practiced what we would do on the waka and when we finally got on we had an eugsting,
but amazing time. “ He ha, he ha. ”
Something I learnt was that Tuna likes to eat other small fish like shrimp. We didn’t have any of that kind of food though,
so we just fed them cat food. And thankfully they liked it. We fed them on a small white plastic
spoon. When they got close enough to eat the cat food, they would open their scary mouths and
swallow the small chunk of cat food whole making a small hissing sound. They were quite shy
and would hide under the dark jette in the freezing water, but every so often they would slip their
head out when it was quiet and gobble down the food we gave them. Whenever they would hiss
and eat their food it would scare many, and some of us would scream, but when we screamed it
would scare the Tuna and they would hide back under the cold dark jette. Wow, they looked scared,
how could we help them?
The thing I found the most interesting was that a song could be carved and written in a pathway, in Māori! Maybe when we go to school we could
make up a school song and put it in a pathway too! Mrs Carney got out her phone and we started
listening, we started understanding the song, even though it was in Māori. There were pictures next to
that, so we got out some crayons that the teachers brought with them, and some paper, and we did
some rubbings with the carved pictures next to the song.
This trip has helped me with my PBL because in Victoria Square I saw many inspiring pou’s and statues with meaningful words on them which we
could make one at school and put it outside the office! Pou’s are Māori carvings made out of wood.
There was also a humongous flag pole with a tiny, lonely little New Zealand flag flapping in the wind.
It was all so high up that even looking at it can make you dizzy. Maybe we can make our own school
flag.
Kia ora, and Welcome back to my blog! This week my maths group and I have bean learning about how to solve maths problems using rounding and compensating. I made a Google drawing with three examples showing how I can work out these problems using rounding and compensating. Our goal is to Use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers. I hope you like my create! Will you be able to work out all of the questions by yourself? 😜
This week my maths group and I have been learning about fractions and how we can solve them using multiplication and division. Our create task is to make something that shows others ho we can do that, so I have decided to make a Pick-a-path. A Pick-a-path is a quiz made on a slide show. My Goal is to use multiplication and division strategies to find fractions of whole numbers. Can you solve all of the questions? I hope you enjoy my create!
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! This week my group and I have been learning about Multiplication strategies. This week's strategy is Place Value witch was easy and helpful for me. Without my help, could you work out the answers? I hope you like my work!
