Educreation Week 8

We are still learning how to change in proper fractions into a mixed fraction. I haven't learnt anything new in this task because we have been on it for a long time. 

Problem Solving Week 9

Walt: use fractions

Again this week we worked on presentations. I solved two problems using the same strategy that I used last week.

This week I haven't really learnt anything big in this task because we've been working on fractions for a while now.  But I have learnt a lot more on how to read and write fractions.     

Problem Solving - Week 8

Walt: Use fractions

Every week one of our tasks for maths is to work out maths questions in a presentation that our teacher makes for us. We work in pair's of two or three but there are only two questions in the presentation. 

   

My family whakapapa

This term in Maori we've been working on our whakapapa's. A whakapapa is like a family tree and it's all about you and your family. 

Identifying Nouns

Walt: identify nouns in pictures

 Ms Tito made presentations for to fill in. There were pictures in every slide we had to put in nouns that show in the photo. 

I have learnt to not just look at images but also add nouns to them for fun. What I liked about this activity is looking at interesting photo's and also figuring out nouns for images that I found hard. I found this activity really easy and if I had to rate it from 1 to 10 I would give it 8.5.

Compare and Contrast

Walt: find comparisons and differences between items and provide proof


Our task was to create a compare and contrast diagram. We also added a padlet to it with information from the text we read. 

I have learnt so many new things about Christchurch that I never knew before. Did you know that Christchurch don't have any art galleries? They were demolished from the earthquake in 2010. Instead they paint on their buildings so the people could see the painting's outdoors. They have built temporary buildings to look after people who have lost their homes, businesses or even important place like churches.

Everyday in school the year five, six and some year fours have a run for fitness. We usually go for our run before morning tea. We have to do only one lap but before it was two. Its like a marathon and if we don’t make it back to class before the bell rings for play time those people don’t get their food.

For some reason, I really like going for the run (but most people don’t). Those who don’t like the run say “It's to tiring” and walk while everyone else is running. I like the run because it makes me fit, healthy and strong, and I like being fit, healthy and strong. Some people have races and whoever would win they’d say “Haha I won you lost.” I just try my best and sometimes I also give myself goals for every run that we do.

Sometimes I encourage some people as I go past them and also run with them for a while. I’d really like people to encourage me because it is a really nice thing to do. Do you want people to encourage you in activities that you participate in?

         After I've finished running I always like to have a drink because my throat dries up all the time. I really don’t like it when my throat dries up because it always tastes like there’s blood in my mouth and it tastes disgusting. Sometimes I bring my own bottle to school so I wouldn’t have to walk to the drinking fountain.

I hope that you do fitness as well, so you can get fitter, healthier and stronger. I call our run the Mighty Run, because it can make me feel mightier than before we started running. If you want to get mightier then make sure you do some fitness and exercise for at least an hour a day. But don’t worry if you don’t like running, walking is equavalent to running (somehow).
