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
