Trying Times

In group 3 for maths today. I have been doing a figure it out book I have finished that so I have moved on to the Basic facts 3-4 book. I am doing trying times. It is about a teacher that was challenging his children on their 15 times tables. Some of them have different/difficult ways on how to do the equations. On the first question I had to do 4 equations about my 15 times tables and I have done all of it.

All in a day's work

In class for reading I have been reading All in a day's work. It is about a girl delivering some newspapers on Craig Street. Also she was scared to step foot in a creepy house to deliver a newspaper because the people that lived there covered the windows, had lots of locks on the door and a rusty roof.

Chemical Reaction

 In topic I have been learning about chemical reactions. So far we have been watching a couple of videos on Dr Bill Nye on YouTube about chemical reactions. But mostly we were focusing on our KWL chart for chemical reactions and at the bottom of the chart we wrote a paragraph on what causes a chemical reactions.

For example
For today we have been learning all about chemical reactions.Chemical reactions are like 2 or more molecules that interact and it will change. If you were to put oxygen and hydrogen it would be a chemical reaction.Did you know if you pour milk into a glass and put drops of color then put soap into it and  that would make a chemical reaction because it changes the colors.

Learning my Place value week 3

In this game I was learning my place value, it was easy because I know my place value. I went up to level 3 and my score was 108. I could have gone up to level 4 but instead of one person defending there were 2 so it got harder and harder. So next time I want to get passed level 3 and get a new high score.

What a view Week 2

What a View!

What a view is a level 3 strategy book that lets you use the most knowledge you can think of. This figure it out book taught me how to use a lot more than one strategy for one question.The next thing that I would like to learn is to use square roots in maths equations.

The strategie
What strategy I've worked on?
Ill give an example on one equation I have used.
13 x 17 = 221
(10 x 10 =100
10 x 3 =30
10 x 7 =70
3 x 7 =21   )
And my other strategy i've used is here.
13 x 17 = 221
(13x10=130
13x7=91
130+91=221

I have been learning many more examples for this term, for advanced learning, I would like to learn about coordinates.

figure it out

For maths I had a figure it out book and we had to go on page 22. So we had to do high powered thinking and it was about a building that had 26 offices and we had to count how many windows there were.So what I did was this. 26x10= 260 so I +160 with the 260 to get 420 and that was my answer. Next time I would like to learn about human pyramids because it seems fun. But I found it easy because I knew that my 10 times tables and knew you just had to put a zero at the end.

Sports camp 2014

Term 3

For this year the best moment is when we went to sports camp.

Sports camp was a lifetime experience getting to know a lot of different people as well as the teachers and knowing that they have a sense of humor also they don’t like to growl at us. At sports  camp we played a number of sports, we won games and lost games. We also had our ups and downs but no matter how hard it was we played fair.  

We were at sports camp for 1 week and it was the best. It was the best because when I first arrived in Totara Springs I was shocked because their fields were so big and massive that I couldn’t believe my eye’s. Then the cross country and the swimming people started. Then they came runner up for both which was a close game.
