Maori language week

Last week was Maori language week. Maori language week is when we all learn Maori. Room12 learnt a Maori body song. After room12 learnt the body song we taught the song to room4. When we showed room4 they joined in and sang with us. Room4 was enjoying the song. When it was the afternoon some of room12 people went to the hall to show us the haka. It was awesome because the haka was a war dance and the boys was really scary at it. Even I got scared of them.

MATHS

In room12 we are doing maths like 14 + ? =61.To solve these problems you need to jump a tidy number on a number line then jump back a small number. I will show you some problems and the strategies.                                                                                                                                     

 15 + 57 =72.

strategy.


 So I started from 15 then I jump in tens like 15,25,35,45,55,65,75 so that is 60 jumps.then what I did is a minus 3 so that will be 57.

Warm and cool colours

This term room12 has been learning about warm and cold colours for are desk mats. The colours that I used is:

• Green



• blue



• orange

My favourite family gruop is cold because I like to be cold and green is in the cold family so that's why a like cool colours. When team 12 did their learning logs we had to pick a colour family and I picked cold.

Athletics

On the 23 of November I did athletics, at athletics there was high jump, then 60 meters, then 200 meters then it was a first break. After the break I was very nervous, so nervous that the butterflies came after everything was done. The fastest class from the middle class and room7 won.

Then we vs the senior's and teachers and other's and we had to put the batten in between our legs and everyone won. At the end everyone went home.

Teacher

Mrs N teaches me a lot.

I like teachers because with out them I would be dumb.

Sometimes teaches get so angry at me because I talk to much.

I don't like school but a like my class because Mrs J helps me at maths and reading Mrs N helps me with most things.

Computers

Computers are the best because they are fast.

I love computers because there are cool as games like MW3.

computers are the things you should buy.

Maths

I am learning to solve subtraction problems by using
1. tidy numbers and
2. place value and splitting

92-49=43
1. 49+1=50 92-50=42+1
2. 92-40=52-9=43

84-38=46
1.38+2=40 84-40=44+2
84-30=54-4=46

I solved these problems by using place value and tidy tens.

Making slime

This is a sample of my recount writing.

Today on the 29th of August Mrs N made slime in room7. Why we made slime was because we were trying to achieve our goals.

First Mrs N put half of a cup of white corn flower into boiling steamy hot water. The water was in the sticky yucky stuff. Then she put blue food colouring into the bowl. It looked watery.
I cant wait to see what it looks like when its real slime.

Drama play

I can speak loud and speak clearly.

I need to work on standing still.

Maths

I am learing to solve two and three dight addition problems using place value.
38+49=87
68+25=93
56+25=81
i sovled these problems by using my place value.
E.g; 58 + 67 =125 (50+60=110)+(8+7=15)

Heating Eating

On the 17-8-11 Millie came to room7 to teach us about healthy snacks. She told us to eat go, glow, grow food. Go food is like bread and Cereal and glow food is fruit. Grow food is meat. I need to work on getting healthy lunches organised for school.

Healthy drinks

On the 3.8.11 some people from project energize came to school. She tought what to drink and not to drink.

We learnt how much sugar is in the drinks. The cans of coke and V have about 7 teaspoons of sugar and bottles of E2 have 20 teaspoons of sugar. Most energy drinks have caffine in them. Caffine is really bad because your heart can stop.
