Surf lifesavings

Last week on Wednesday Nga Rau Tipuranga,  Nga Rau Rangatira and a few kids from room 16 went to the surf lifesavings in Ruakaka. Well we were there we  learnt about rips, beach safety and what we should and shouldn't do on the beach.  My favourite part was when we got to get in the water. My least favourite part was when we had to leave.

Problem solving

Today we have been learning how to do 100 times tables using problem solving.  The hard part was understanding where to put the zero's. The easy part was finding an answer. My next step is to learn how to times by 1000's.

Sc: 

•  add right to left start at ones column 
• When times by 10 add one zero ( into the ones column )
• When times by 100 add two zero's ( into the ones and tens column )

First encounter

For the past few weeks we have been learning about first encounters. My group did James Cook. We were given ipads to work on to make objects like People, Waka, Boats and lots more. With thoose objects we put the into a 3d world. The easy part was deciding who was going to make which objects.
The hard part was finding what app to use to make my objects.

Math eyes

Today I started my first day of our holiday blogging activity's.  The easy part was writing what I could see. The hard part was finding the right appropriate image to use.

Matariki

Matariki

Last week Wednesday we had our Matariki whanau day. The part I enjoyed was seeing my grand parents because I got to show them my work and my class.  My least favorite part was performing because I got stage fright.

Persuasive writing

Today we are learning persuasive writing. I learnt how to structure a peace of persuasive writing in the order. Opinion, reasons, examples and opinion restated or OREO. 

We were told to write about why we think we should or shouldn't have animals as pets.

Then we all got in groups if we agreed or disagreed and we gave each other reasons why we thought that we should or shouldn't have animals as pets. The skills I was learning are things such as structure of a persuasive,  reasons and putting them into a graphic organiser, look carefully, recognize a reason and a example and also to take a stance on your thoughts.

A day as a cat ( Narrative writing )

For the past 2 weeks I have been learning how to write a narrative. We were all given a topic (A day as a cat or a dog) 

The easy part was picking what animal I wanted to be.

The hard part was trying to pick the right kind of theme.

My goal for next time is to use more adjectives
