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

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

For Writing we have been learning about Meophor it’s when you say something IS something instead of using like or as here’s and example of a sentence The rocket IS a shooting star.
