New Zealand pupils below average in maths results - TIMSS

Maths should be apart of the school curriculum because it helps the brain work harder.I Think that being below in maths isn’t great but It is disappointing to hear on the news that new zealand children being below the standard.If They tried a bit harder then maybe the would get a better score.

Enlargement

Screenshot 2016-11-30 at 9.34.34 AM.png


We are learning to enlarge a picture. I choose a lotus as my photo and my grid was 9 by 6 . We had to use some chalk to draw the scale and the the photo onto the asphalt. We had to find out the scale factor first. It did 1 cm represents 20 cm. When we were enlarging the photo we had to try and make it look the same. It had to be in each square that it was in. It was a bit hard to do but I tried my best to do it. My first try wasn't as good as the second tone but I think I did my best.

Enlargement

Today we learned about enlarging a picture.We had to draw the picture onto the grid.We had to count the squares to see where it had to go.I found it hard to draw because I kept on getting the shape in the wrong place.When it came to the coloring in part it was easy but other then that it was hard.We had to find the scale factor first and it was 2 because it was 9 cm.In the bigger one it was 18cm.Next I would like to learn how to mulitply diffrent things.

The Sea

The Sea

Waves were clashing onto the sand looking like somebody flipping her hair up and down. Trees danced to the whistling wind. Waves were moving faster turning into a fast current.The current grew stronger forcing the boogie board out to sea. The current pulled the shells along the hadalpelagic. The seaweed jiggled around one spot waving to all the fish.

How Sports has made me a better Person

WALT: write an explanation

Sport has made me a better/worse person

Respect, Excellence and Friendship has made me a better person for so many reasons that I can't even explain. I have been playing netball for two terms now so I think that it has helped me feel better. I have also learned some new skills.

Respect

I play netball every day after school on a Tuesday. It's hard and sometime I don't respect the umpire and my teammates  but it's because I am angry most of the time.While we play the games it makes me feel happy when we win. The I think I make the other team feel bad.This is making me feel like I need to stop making the other team feel worse and start making them feel better by saying something nice. But the thing that I mostly need to do is respect the umpire and my teammates.
Sometimes when we lose it makes me feel even more angry but then thinking about winning the next game makes me feel a lot better but it doesn't always work.

Excellence

Excellence has made me a better person in sports because on the way I play netball.Even if I play netball I sometime give up but then later one during the night I start to feel like I can do this and I won’t give up.By then it is to late because the game is alreadsy finished. Now I really need to focus on my school work now that netball is finished. Since netball finished I have not been focusing on my school work but now I think I should be.

Friendship

Friendship has made me a better person by helping my friends and working as a team to win and  complete our netball games. Now that we have works together as a team we are now on the top of the leader board.and Once my teacher told us that this was our last game I felt like we had to win this game otherwise we would lose our spot on the leaderboard and then Kohi Marama would go to the top.

In conclusion I feel like I could of made me be a even more better person because I still feel that same but I now that I can do better.The only thing that I need to work on it just to keep working.The skill that I am still trying to learns is working as a proper team.

Guess and Check


For today my maths was to work out division.I had to work it out as a guess and check strategy. Afterwards on the calculator I checked to see if my answer was correct. Around the first couple of questions I got confused but when it came to the last three, it was a whole lot harder to do. Finally after checking my answers I discovered that I had got all my answers right.

Today some Cook Islanders and people from the museum came to our school to talk to us about the history and culture. They told us how they designed their waka. They used the husk from the coconut to make a string and then they thread it through the wood to combine them together. But to make the wood stick together they use tree sap from the grapefruit tree. I learned that some Cook Islanders call a waka vaka are. Learning about the Cook Island culture was really interesting sahaly when they told us about how they make the waka.

Blood and Me

Blood and Me

Blood is bright red, it is also warm and sticky. In a three year old's body there is one or more liters of blood but in an adult's body there is five time more blood. Blood travel through your body like a fast river which is also known as a bloodstream. Our blood takes all the waste out and helps to fight the disease. In blood there is plasma. In plasma there is red cells and white cells.Red cells drop the oxagin and then pick up the carbon dioxsid.White cells are larger than the red cells because the white cells kill all the germs that try to get in.

Bella and Thunder

Walt: write a narritive

On a early morning the sun was still rising.Bella woke up with excitement because it was Thunder's birthday. Thunder woke up not so long after Bella and started running around. They both had some breakfast because they wanted to play outside. Before Bella went outside she had to brush Thunders hair. While they were having fun Bella got a bit muddy but she didn’t care. She had then realized that she had to get ready for festival because she wanted to join the drawing competition.


She was trying to find her black dress. Then Thunder had found her dress in the washing machine. She was so devastated to find that her dress was no longer black it was fading to grey. You will look fine was spelt. She felt much better until Thunder ran on the road to grab his rubber toy. Suddenly a neighbor informed Bella that there was a crisis with Thunder. A little girl was walking a had taken Thunder. It was an unsatisfied moment for her. Posters were put up to ask anyone if they seen Thunder.


After a couple of hours the little girl took Thunder for a walk and saw the poster so she ran home but Thunder did not want to leave because he wanted to go back to Bella. He started howling for her. She had recognized that sound. Once she heard the howl she started running like lightning. Straight after she got him back she said, “ It feels like you have been gone all my life,”. After that she had then reclaimed him.

In conclusion Thunder was overjoyed to be back. Latter on that day Bella gave him a nice warm bath to make him feel nice and clean.That afternoon she went to go and take all the posters down.

When it came to the fractions and Percentages it was a bit fast because I had to try and write the answer as fast as I could.

Allergy Poem

People can have an allergic reaction
It can make a big distraction

When people scratch
It can be hard to catch

A big problem can be cheese
It can make people sneeze

When some people cough
People think it is ok to be leading off

Only one thing can con real quick
It is when people are sick
