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
