Probability

In maths I have been learning about probability, here is an example...

we had to order them on a line from Impossible to Certain, in maths equal is 50%, 1/2 or 0.5, Impossible is 0% or 0 and lastly Certain is 100%, 1
and i know that you can use it either percentage, fraction or decimal it was fun experiencing this.

Mathematics Vocabulary

This week we have been learning about different words associated with our topic on fractions but on the first slide i couldn't quit finish this so if u think it's a bit weird that's because i didn't finish.

Maths: Decimals

For a few weeks we have been learning about decimal points and as the days came past we started to learn more and more about how to use decimals, we had tricky questions that we needed to answer but together we made it through the tough decimals. To be honest i found it not so easy but then again not hard as well, so I was just a 0.2 towards hard haha.

Here is some of the work i have done for decimals ;) ;) 

How to make a Christmas tree decoration

Materials:

• 1 Ice block stick
• 3 Cupcake cups
• 1 glue stick 

Steps:

1. Grab a ice block stick
2. Grab 3 cupcake cups
3. Grab a glue stick
4. Fold the cupcake cup in half then place 1 hand on the bottom of the cupcake then place the other 1 inside the middle of the cupcake then bring half of it to the middle then fold that down do this to all three of them.
5.  Grab your glue then glue all three of the cupcake cups onto the Ice block stick make sure to glue the part you folded in half and the part you folded into a triangle then your finished. 

My learning for this is good because when I wasn't here for the learning I still managed to finish the work exactly how it was suppose to be. The hard part was doing the folds. The easy part was everything else. My next step is to work on my folds. Here is a photo of my completed work. 

I hope you get a chance to create one of these.

Athletics Day.

 This week on Tuesday we had athletics day we were learning to do sportsmanship. In the beginning we were split into groups I was with the year 7 & 8 girls then we had to do 6 activities the 1st one for us was hurdles under and over 2nd was Shot put our 3rd one was a sack race. Then the 4th was high jump  Awatea and Ocean placed first for the year 7 & 8 girls and for the year 8 girls Delina and I placed equal 2nd place then we moved on to discus well mine flew off course. Then lastly we had long jump and I placed third equal with Awatea and Bobbie-Jo. The part I liked was high jump. The easy part was to do all the activities well having fun. The hard part was to race of other people. My next step is to get better in shot put and discus. Here is a Album of some of the things we´ve done.

Float or sink?

This morning my class was observing a creative boat that I will describe: It had two big water bottles then it was taped together then it had a balloon with a lollipop stick taped to the bottles then we had to fill it up with water. Then we observed and we saw that some of the creative boat had sunk but a little bit of it was floating Awatea said ¨because there´s still some air in it that causes the boat to still float and it doesn't sink to the bottom¨ when we finished observing Whaea Verbina said ¨ who said it would sink and who said it would float¨ Steven, Ebony, Quin, Ngapua, Kody, Honekai, Mahuta, Tuishaly, Kosena, Eva, Awatea, Delina, Tamarah and me said that it would sink but Xavier, Joshua and Manu said it would float poor them because it sunk I think they need more learning on this.

Summer learning journey activity

If I would be able to travel back in time to see some people in the mid 1930´s I would take with me blanket´s for warmth, Our food that we have in the present day to bring in the past, some bath´s to wash themselves soap as well and conditioner & shampoo, tooth brush and tooth paste, candy, clothes and last of all I would go back in time to teach them about all the holidays that we know of in the present day. So those are all the things that I would bring so they can explore new things that we don´t have on the present day.
