My Refelction Week 8 Term 4

             My Refection Week 8 Term 4
                               Maths
This week we have been learning how to round numbers. So lets talk about money $4.73c would be rounded down to $4.70c but if it was $4.78c it would be $4.80c but if you have a Credit card you can do $4.78c. I understood how to round up numbers it was fun so that activity was enjoyable. We have also been doing Estimating so we were roughly predicting the numbers to come up with our answer and we tryed our estimates to see if they worked.I found it a bit difficult though.
                             Reading
In reading we read Little Truff. It's an enjoyable storey. About a littl edog and Don doesn't like Little Truff. But Helen his wife does and they are having arguements about him :(

My Reflection Week 6 Term 4

My Reflection Week 6 Term 4

                               Maths

We did 25 maths questions I was the caller calling out the multiplication and division. I  found it quite easy. I could do each question answer in about three seconds or less I really enjoy doing this activity. I think we should do it more often.

                              Writing

We had to write an end of year piece of writing mine is called ‘’The girl who survived the desert walk’’ I tried to include as many gems as I could think of and I think I did paragraphs right.

                            Reading

I have started the tomorrow girls series and I think I will really like the series because it’s really hooked me in the first book only 26 pages in :) Thank you Mrs Bryant for suggesting this series to me :)

                       Passion Class

I think I might get my picture book finished I really want to though.

Camp Reflection

                      Camp Reflection

 This camp was totally epic it was an awesome experience So where do I start? Ah yes, rotation 1 :)

Day One
Wow look at the view it's so cool I wonder what adventures await for me oh look there's a peacock said Kade's Mum. Kayla and I laughed our heads off in the back seat it was turkey haha!.

Rotation 1:Okay so I thought rotation one Orienteering was a bit boring partly because I wasn't understanding how to use a compass and it was all just a really confusing rotation but I did like walking back and we needed to take 135 steps backwards with our eyes closed and I wound up going right because I am right handed and some people wound up going left because they were left-handed.

Rotation 2: So our second rotation was the Mud Run it was very sticky and my head went under the sticky muddy water I came up to retrieve a breath it was deep in one patch nearly over my head I got lost a bit because I accidentally started running up the horse track! and ran past the jetty I was supposed to jump off but then I figured out where it was in the end.

Rotation 3: Our Next rotation was Horse Riding I was really nervous because I have only been led on a horse before never without a lead so I was a bit nervous we went on a trek my horses name that I rode was called Mosh she was a calm horse I was a bit nervous when I first saw her I started patting her and let her sniff my hand and I was a bit scared but then I became quite confident I hoped on the horse fine and off horse riding was one of my favourite activities to do. So now I know how to hop on a horse start a horse stop a horse and hop off a horse.

Rotation 4: Kayaking I was in a double kayak with Dareeya we kept getting stuck in the bushes so we learnt how to paddle our selves out of the sticky situation and it was fun but I didn't like getting stuck so much but kayaking was awesome but it did get a bit cold because it was our last rotation and we also did a walking on water activity where we put all the boats together and we had to try to walk across them one person at a time though and we had to hold all the kayaks together and the paddles a was a bit nervous walking across them because it was wobbly. The purpose of the activity was if someone got injured how to get them across safely so it was a fun activity.

The Talent Show!: The Talent Show was totally awesome. In my group there was Amy, Elana and I. We did a comedy act we had it a lot longer than it was on the night but we had it cut short. So here is one of the parts we didn't get to say there was quite a lot but it was probably a bit boring and I can understand why. Keira: I knit a hat for you do you like it?. Summer:  No Knitting was SO back in the 80s. But it was really fun and a bit nerve racking but the important thing is that we got up there and tried our best I think everyone did well and it was an entertaining night.

Parents Performance: The Parents all did a dance with masks on but the most hilarious thing about it was the masks were of Mrs Strathern Mr Gemmell and Mrs Hobbs and one of the parents that was Mrs Hobbs had glasses on poked through the eyes it was funny and at the end all the parents threw there masks to the children the was awesome. 

Next Day...

Rotation 5: Rock Climbing it was fun I loved climbing up I made it to the top and got to ring the bell and I love being high up in the air and I am also quite scared of heights but this was really fun and I hope to to it again :)

Camp Fire:The camp fire was cool we got to roast marshmallows
and we got a biscuit but when you go close to the fire it was very painful and smoky in your eyes when you went to roast them the campfire looked so cool and we told eachother scary stories and sang songs it was an awesome night.

Rotation 6: Scavenger Hunt it was a bit boring our time was 26.23 Minutes it was fun and we got everything on the lsit I even picked up Horse Manure but it wasn't gross at all well that was nothing it's just picking up horse poo :)

Rotation 7: Raft Building this was absolutely amazing and super super fun and Mr Gemmell got a photo of me falling off backwards with my legs in the air and one of me still holding on  it was actually really painful and it stung like crazy but I still kept going and trying my best so I could enjoy the moment because I was having heaps of fun and I really enjoy looking at the photo of me falling of it's hilarious :) :)

 

Rotation 8: Slug Gun Shooting It was actually quite hard and I thought it would give you a shock when you shot it but it didn't and the bullets were small and you can only fit one bullet in at a time and we did a competition I came SECOND!... to last :) but I was still really pleased with myself for giving it a go :)

Tough Guy Challenge: Go! I walked through the water I didn't run because it hurt my feet but lots of people did walk so you could either do it for fun which I did or do it for a race I choose for fun because I like doing things for fun and not for the race there were lots of obstacles and it was really fun to jump over them and climb up them and at the end we got to go in the pool and it was hot and relaxed your muscles.

Movie Time: The Movie we watched was called Up it was an awesome movie I have watched it before and it was ad when his wife died but he still had fun with his life enjoyed it was cool when the balloons lift this house up in the sky and it was cool when they moved they moved here they put there hand on the mailbox with paint and there names and it fell over which was sad it was an awesome movie.

Burma Trail: It was awesome we had to hold on to the rope at all times so we didn't get lost you could go with the lights or no lights I was really scared but I went with what was outside my brain and went with no lights but it was still so much fun and I got really scared when Jo was in the tree really high up and she turned on the light and made a frighting yell and I screamed my lungs out and then I heard something rusting in the bushes then something clutched my leg I let out a little yelp then I heard the other group scream and I scream as well it was really fun but actually scary we just went to spookers! no I am joking I haven't been to spookers but spookers is probably scarier and I hate to think about but I know it's all pretend but is it not! :)

Next Day..

Goodbye peacock! Goodbye camp goodbye cool adventures I have had.

Hot Pools: Ah so hot and nice after all the activities hot pools make me sleepy but it was so  nice and I couldn't feel my legs it was like a tingly sensastion and there was also a little water fall there to and one of the parents jumped off the waterfall it was hilarious and I had a great time I will remember these experiences for life and maybe do some of them again some day :)

Finally I get to say this THE END :)

My Reflection Week 10 Term 3

             My Reflection Week 10 Term 3
WOW!!!! I am flabbergasted it's the end of the term wow that flew past so quickly like a bird flying at full speed, was that a simile?. Wow, I think that was a simile or it might have been a cliche but either way that's what we have been learning about in Writing this week. Here is some of the story I started writing this week. It's called ''My Nightmare'' The polar bear was walking to me in slow motion with every step it took it was threating me. I began to sweat with fear and it fell of my chin into a puddle it was like I was crying but I wasn't. The Book Challenge right even though I have only read 31 books doesn't mean I still can't finish the challenge if I read a book a day I will probably able to finish it I am going to try read a book a day because I really want to complete it because last year I didn't so it would be great to do it this year. For Maths we have been doing decimals fractions and percentages there were three columns and we had to say the percentages and decimals and fractions.

Term 3 Review

                          Term 3 Review

Kahiketea Music Performance

In Term 2 we did a music performance I wasn't in the performance because I was sick I still did all the practices up to the performance though I was going to be a singer I think everyone did a brilliant job. Here Is The Video of our performance.

My Reflection Week 9 Term 3

             My Reflection Week 9 Term 3 

In Maths we have been learning about fractions Equivalent fractions and Reading decimal fractions we got a worksheet about it I didn't understand any of it but someone from my group helped me then I understood it a bit more.

In Reading, I read Cassie's Crush It was about this girl and she liked a boy called Ollie and she risked her life for him she climbed  up onto a roof to spy on Ollie then someone saw her and started screaming and she called the police and the police couldn't get her down so they called the fire brigade because they have big ladders so that was a lot of drama. 

(I wasn't here on Thursday)
Thanks For Reading :)

My Reflection Week 8 Term 3

               My Reflection Week 8 Term 3
This week has been a very busy week because of production we have finished all of our four performances!. I think everyone did very well in our production and the best part about it EVERYONE had a role to play. I was sort of sad when we had to take down background but I still enjoyed it very much.

In Maths we have been learning about fractions I get more and more of an understanding each time we go down to the mat in groups for maths rotations. I have also been doing some fraction activities on Mathletics.

In Reading, I have read Dessert Diva by Carrie Bright. It was about this girl called Maddy and she ate heaps of desserts at least two or more of the school lunch menu and she wanted to be on a health kick diet and she wanted to be fit but she had a bit of trouble trying to eat just fruit and vegetables and some meat.

Thanks for taking the time to read my Week 8 Reflection.

My Reflection Week 9 Term 2

My Reflection Week 9 Term 2

                               Maths

In Maths we have been learning about division I finally got the hang of it! So now I can show you an example of what I have learnt for division! So lets say we were doing the equation 78➗6 so we need to find the times table to 78 or the closest times table to 78 6x13 is a times table and it eqauls 78! and there's no remainders so our answer is 13! yeah! I am sooo happy I finally got the hang of it Yeeesss!.

Writing

For Writing we had to do a writing sample I think it was last week or the week before I honestly can't remember but I don't think I wrote about it in any of my reflections so I will talk about it now. So this storey is about the naughty Mr Gemmell again nah just joking :) Anway hey threw the test in our face will no he don't not throw it at our face he just past it to really nicely and guess what he was smiling! So I took out my penciland began tapping my pencil on the table eagerly. And I think I did a bad job and don't think I included any gems maybe one or two? but yeah. It wasn't to bad :)

Reading
I thought it would be a good idea to put this into reading instead of writing yepyou know exactly what I am going to talk about I will say it on the count of three. 1...2....3 Speeches! I read my speech to the class on Wednesday I was shaking myself to death my legs were shaking my cheecks were going bright red well it felt like it my cheecks were burning but it was fun. I had a little made up song in my speech and I sang it!. I am still reading a girl called Harry! bad idea to read it while the book challenge is going but never mind :).

This Week has been a strange and sad week for me
Thanks For Reading :)

My Reflection Week 5 Term 2

My Reflection Week 5 Term 2

                                Maths

For Maths we have been learning about division Mrs Bryant put on a video to learn how to do basic division if you want to view it here’s the link Basic Division Here is an example let's say we were doing 27 # 4 I could not find the division sign so I put this # so 27 4  the closest times table to 27 is 4 x 6 = 24 so let's say there are 4 kids and they each get 6 cookies so they each get 6 and that would equal 24 so the answer would be 24 with a reminder of 3 I think I am pretty sure that’s how you do it I might have missed out a step! But that’s what I think the answer is actually I think it might be incorrect! But that’s alright at least I had a try!

                                        Writing

For Writing we have been doing speeches my topic is Just Because We Can Does It Mean We Should? I am actually starting too like speeches but at first I absolutely HATED speeches! They are the WORST THING IN THE WORLD!! Speeches don’t you dare try to pesuade me to like you!. HaHa. So Anyway I have written my first paragragh yah hoo ! (Nearly) My first paragragh was about drinking I really really wanted to include smoking but I just couldn’t because I found it hard :)

                                       Reading

For Reading I have read 10 books for the 50 book challenge yah-hoo! I read dork diaries as one of my books and when I got home from the library I realized that dork diaries was a snack book So any way I read it andto my suprise Mrs Bryant Accepted it !!! I knew Mrs Bryant wasn’t going to be to mean to me. And I was only aloud one snack in the book challenge. I LOVE the book challenge :)

Stay Tuned for the da da da daaah the next Reflection. My apoligies I didn’t do my reflection last week sorry :( This week is one of my best weeks in the world (Well Ever Had) :)

Bye :)

My Reflection Week 3 Term 2

    My Reflection Week 3 Term 2

                        Maths

In Maths we had a recap of how to do big times tables so for example 84x3 Mrs Bryant told us to take away a step of doing the 80x3 and the 4x3 instead we did it in our head 240 + 12 =252 so the answer is 252. And we did the times table grid and I got them all right again :) ! I got another bronze on Mathletics!

                       Writing

We have been getting notes for speeches I don’t like speeches My topic is Just Because We Can Does It Mean We Should I have three main points for it they are smoking drinking and Bullying I Have got heaps of notes for smoking I think enough to write a paragraph I just need notes for drinking and bullying it sucks that I can’t find notes at home but I am quite happy with the effort I am putting into my speech :)

                     Reading

This week I read Starring Sally J. Freedman as herself by Judy Blume I found the book kind of creepy because when Sally left Barbra at the playground bleeding she went home to go get her mum and her mum was disappointed that she had left her friend in the playground we they got back to the play ground Barbra was gone and there was always this creepy man poking around and sally thought he skinned humans alive and get their skin and make them into lamp shades that’s what creeped me a bit I have also started to read the book holes it’s a really cool book I am up to chapter ten and for the book challenge I have read 7 book nearly 9 !

Thanks For Reading

My Refelction Week 2 Term 2

My Reflection Week 2 Term 2

                      Maths

This week for Maths we have been learning about statistics we went down on the mat with Mr Gemmell as part of our rotation.We got to pick our favourite fast food and I picked Subway. Subway got the most votes I liked doing that that was really fun I was he one who brought everyone what they from the votes. But I did NOT by anyone lunch. I really enjoyed that activity and I like doing stuff sort of like that ohh It just reminded me we did an activity but it’s something to do with writing.

Also I got a bronze medal on mathletics this year I have got 13 medals so far !

                   Writing

We didn’t do this activity this week it was last week but I didn’t but it in last weeks reflection so I am going to do it now. Like I said up there it was something a little to do with maths. Mr Gemmell would say something like ‘’Cats are WAY better than dogs’’ And there were signs saying Disagree Strongly disagree Agree Strongly Agree and there was a middle sign if you were on both sides I went to the middle but I think I was more on the cats than dogs Because dogs growl and things like that and there was an argument going on. And another question was We should have no electronics I went to disagree because I think we need them because what happens if there is a friend and there moving far far away how are you going to contact them yes there is mail but mail takes FOREVER and texts only take a second and the person has it and it’s way faster and there loads of other reasons to but I have something else I want to talk about in this paragraph too. Yes you guessed it it’s about Enviro Reps there were about 7 people competing including me and I gave a speech why I wanted to be an Enviro Rep Here’s the link too it Keira's Enviro Speech Guess What Keira and Lachlan are Room 8’s Enviro Reps :) I am so excited I never thought I would get in I think I read my speech a little too fast it didn’t go according to plan but that’s alright :)

                      Reading

For reading I have read Jacky ha ha and I have started to read a Judy blume book Starring Sally J. Freedman as herself Jacky ha ha was so cool she's a bit like me sometimes :) She is very naughty and plays jokes she does it for fun I she had to go to detention all the time and there was a part it made me laugh when there was a chair that she ALWAYS sat on on detention and she said my name should be engraved in this chair I thought it was funny I shared it for book talk too. And by this next relflection I hope to have finishes Starring Sally J. Freedman as herself :)

This week was definitely a cool week stay tuned for my other reflections :)

My Reflection Week 1 Term 2

        My Reflection Week 1 Term 2

No! the holidays are over :( But yah schools started and I love school I wonder what I will learn this term? :)

                                  Maths

When I did maths with Mr Gemmell is part of our rotation we did thinking of strategies we were able to use we practised tidy tens and place value and something else which I forgot. The first one we did was Tidy tens I had forgotten how to do it but then I remembered as the session went on. So for example 377- 267 = 44

So we round 377 to 400 and we count from 377 to 400 to find out how many we need to keep in mind 23 is how many we need to keep in mind now we move onto 267 so we do the same thing round it to 300 and count how many we need to keep in mind 33 we need to keep in mind now 400 - 300= 100 then we take away the 33 and the 23 add them together which equals 56 so we take away 56 from 100 and the answer is 44. Ok that was not the correct answer so I need to practise that one but that’s what I thought how you do it  by the way the correctanswe is 110 :) And to the positives I got a bronze medal on Mathletics !

                              Reading

Ahhhhhh I am so excited the 50 BOOK CHALLENGE!!!! I have never ever been able to complete the 50 book challenge but I have completed the 25 book challenge so this term I am going to be a reading egg because any time you will see me is when I am reading. I finally finished the book Wonder and I started another book yesterday and I read for about 1 and a half probrarly or 2 hours and I am nearly finishedit’s 185 page book it’s called Operation Bunny by Sally Gardner. And in the weekend I am getting some books from the Te Awamutu Library to read for the 50 book challenge :)

                              Writing

For Writing we have been thinking about what topic we would like to write about for speeches I HATE speeches but I WILL do them I am thinking about writing about the smoking one or the Child Abuse but I probraly will go with smoking.In the holidays as you already know I went to a camp I also wrote some stories about the camp as well :)

Thanks for taking the time to read this even though I made a mistake with Tidy Tens in Maths

Thanks

If I am not aloud to go up the lists I would like to have words in front of me I have to some how include in my writing that makes sense.

Thanks for Reading my ideas and how the week has been

Inquiry

                                  Inquiry
For Inquiry we have been learning about King Tawhiao we made a google slide and a movie maker here is the link to my google slide King Tawhiao
If you can't acess this slide here is the information I had on it King Tawhiao made up the treaty he decided that after the war they were going to need a plan to stop this from happening again that’s when he had a plan to make a treaty and the people that signed had to obey the rules. King Tawhiao decided  he would pay a visit to the queen of Victoria. Queen Victoria allowed King Tawhiao to give out the treaty and let people sign it not all chiefs got to sign it.The treaty is still here after all these years I hope the treaty will last longer than I’ll ever live.

Biking Adventure

                           🚲 🚲 Biking Adventure 🚲 🚲
In Week 7 Kahikatea got to go to Pirongia Mountain to either do Biking Or Hiking I chose Biking there was a little kid track which only took about two minutes not even that to do it there was one where there's a hill and there's a tyre and it felt like you were flying like a bird. There was another track called easy as but I found it quite easy when I was the only one on the track! there was two hills it was impossible to get up so I did the best thingI couldI got off my bike and walked my bike up the hill. There was another track called Hard core I did not go on it because I just came backfrom another trip and I missed out I hope I will get to try it again it was a great exprience full sweat blood and tears.

My Reflection Week 10

                 My Reflection Week 10

For Maths we have been learning about how to get the answer to big times tables for example

29 x 5 = 145

20 x 5 = 100

9 x 5 = 45

100 + 45 = 145 so 29 x 5 = 145

So that’s the strategy method we have been using to work out the larger times tables this week for times tables I have been practising my 4x tables! Also I earned ANOTHER bronze medal on Mathletics!

For Writing we have been publishing or writing I have published my Waimarino Water Park Story and my Food Writing here are the links to it Food Writing   Waimarino Water Park My food writing that was or first ever piece of writing and the Waimarino Piece was my smilie piece Writing is one of my favourite subjects I like publishing on the computer and plus I can type really fast and I love doing these reflections as well :)

For Reading I have been reading Animalcom but it’s not the right sort of book for me today at the library I got out two books I got out Wonder and another one I forgot the name Emily Bathgate suggest to me though know I am starting to read wonder it’s a great start to the book it definitely has a hook it’s sort of like Judy Blume books in a way.

For spelling I am hoping to pass list T never even knew I could be this good at spelling I will be amazed how far I get at the end of the year I hope I pass list and I have had the spelling cup twice!.

Ohh I almost forgot I also had my learning conference this week I think it went very well and I am settling in this class very well :). Keira's Learning Conference

My Reflection Week 9

    My Reflection

                                             Maths

For Maths I have been playing risk when we have our game rotations I am not sure if I have explained about it already I don’t think I have I will explain it anyway. For this game the equipment you will need is a white board a white board pen a dice and a buddy or more you can play with lots of people does not really matter how many people play. So you have to draw up a grid like this

R	I	S	K
4	3	6
6	2
	6
0 points	1 (12 points)	6 points

There is an evil number so this time we will say the evil number is two if the number rolls on a two the game stops. So lets pretend I am rooling the dice and it lands on a four I can write four where it says R in the first box I roll again and the numberis 6 so I right 6 in the box and I roll again and it rolls on a two the game stops and I get zero points because I did not bank then you go onto I and I roll a two I just roll again and the number is 3 I right three and I roll a 2 then a 6 then a 1 I get to keep all the points so I twelve points so far and then I go onto R and I roll and there is a 6 put six on the box and if I think a two is coming next i stand up and say BANK and you get to keep the 6 points and then I would do K but I guess you get what I am trying to say now :) I got a sliver on Mathletics !

                                            Writing
