Book Week in School.

This week was Book Week. There was a play performed in our school hall on Tuesday.

The play was about the Treasure hunt that has been written by Craig Christie.

There were two tribes living on an island. These two tribes blamed each other for stealing each other song.

The Treeland tribe was led by George and the Seaview tribe was led by Jessica. These two characters teamed up to solve the problem about the lost treasure which was their song.

The problem was solved when they were able to put the torn map together and work out how to get to the treasure. They had to read different books to solve the problem.

I really enjoyed this play because both the characters were very smart and talented. They sang very well and were also hilarious.

Thank Sam and Lidia for coming to our school. We hope to see you again next year.

Financial Literacy.

We learned about how to budget and save money. The other topics we learned about were insurance, borrowing and lending, identity theft mortgage, trust and saving money. Our tutors were Emma, Jane, and Matt from Price Waterhouse and Cooper Accountant firm. I enjoyed all the sessions because the activities were very exciting and practical.

Maths. Subtraction

WALT: Solve the subtraction problems using place value partitioning.

1.952-259=

12-9=3

140-50=90

800-200=600

600+90+3=693

This is how I worked it out.

I can not take away 9ones from 2ones so I borrow one ten from 5tens now I got 12 and 12-9=3

Since I borrow a ten from the 5tens now I got 4tens. I can not take away 5tens from 4tens so I borrow one hundred from 9hundred and now I got 140 and 140-50=90

I took away 200 from 800 and I was left with 600 so 600+90+3=693.

My mum's nana's birthday

Yesterday was a beautiful day because I went to North Shore for my mum's nana's birthday. I went with my family including my cousin. My cousin came with $100 dollars for my nana. I was so glad to be there. My mum's nana turned 86 years old.

All of our family was there. There were 80 people there. We decided to went to the Valentines and celebrate her birthday there. She was so happy that day. All of the other people were looking at us when we were praying and singing. After we prayed we went and dish our food. I got pizza and fish and chips. I ate and ate then it was dessert time. I had ice cream, mud cake, jelly, and lollies. I kept on eating all the sudden I wanted to play games so I ate fast and went to my dad and get coins. I went on the Fantasy World Machine and I got 9 lollies. We were all so loud and then one of the workers there came and told us to go to our table and we all ran.

On 9:00pm all of us came out and went back home. I was so happy and all of us were so tired so I fell asleep in the car. My dad carried me to my bed and I continued sleeping.

Cultural activity.

I am feeling very excited about taking part in Cultural activities at school this term.

Today I picked two cultural groups that I want to be in.

My first choice was Fijian and I picked Kiwi Can jam for my second choice.

The Queen's sister's birthday.

We were so excited because it was the queen’s sister’s birthday. It happens in our church the Vaine Mo' onia which are the first Methodist. We first started with a prayer and one of her protectors took us to this big room. It was full of stuff and toys for us. There were bouncy castles and lots of other stuff. For big peoples, they ate and celebrate the queen’s sister’s birthday.

After 2 hours one of her protectors came and took us to the queen’s sister’s birthday. We all pizza, presents, candies and we lined up just to shook her hand. I was so happy that day and I can’t wait for the queen’s sister’s birthday. We all came back home and took a rest because we were all tired.

Math.Subtraction and Addition.

WALT: We have been learning how to solve addition and subtraction problems in various strategies.

Problems.	Strategy.	Answer
1)295+126=	5+6=11 90+20=110 200+100=300 300+110+11=421	=421
2)9760-7531=	I can’t take away 1ones from 0ones so I borrow a 10 from the 6tens. It makes 10 10-1=9 Since I borrow 1 a 10 from 6tens, I am left with 5tens so 50-30=20 700-500=200 9000-7000=2000 2000+200+20+9=2229	=219.
3)1266+1045=	1000+1000=2000 200+0=200 60+40=100 6+5=11 2000+200+100+11=2311	=2311
4)912-283= 4)912-283=	I can not take away 3ones from 2ones so I borrow 1 ten from the 1 tens. It makes 12 12-3=9 Since I borrow 1 ten from 1 ten I have no more ten so I borrow 100 from the hundreds and it makes 100. 100-80=20.I have 8 hundred now  and so 800-200=600 600+20+9=629	=629
5)314+127=	300+100=400 10+20=30 4+7=11 400+30+11=441	=441

Lest we forget poem.

They answer the call with a mighty heart.

They took a stand In pursuit of liberly.

They died on foreign land.

Those who made it home.

Carry a burden within their souls.

More years behind them now, yet stories remain untold.

We may never understand it.

Few hearts can comprehend, the courage one must possess.

To rise and take a stand.

I ask you, dear friends and family, how will you remember this most earnest legacy.

Will you bow your head and offer a silent prayer. Let’s honor all they sacrificed.

For the freedom we hold dear.

Math. Subtraction

WALT:We are learning to solve subtraction problems using various strategies.

Problems	Strategy	Answer.
1)294-167=	I can not subtract 7ones from 4 ones because 7 is greater than 4, so I will borrow one ten from 9 tens and add it to 4 ones and I will have 14 ones, so 14-7=7 Since I borrowed one ten from 9 tens, I am left with 8 tens, so 80-60=20 200-100=100 100+20+7=127	=127
2)384-158=	I can not subtract 8ones from the 4 ones because 8 is bigger than 4, so I will borrow one ten from the 8tens and add it to the four and I will have 14 Since I borrow one from 8tens I am left with 70. 14-8=6 70-50=20 300-100=200 200+20+6=226	=226

Children's Day.

On the 2nd of May, we had Children's day at my church. My friends and I were so excited and nervous too. My favorite part is when we have to do the actions and sing our song. My church was the first Methodist in New Zealand.After doing action and singing our song we deserved chocolate because we were the best class out of all of the other classes.

On our way home, we went and eat Mac Donalds together. My parents were so happy and so impressive of us. I felt so good about it. The next Children’s day is coming up I really can’t wait for next year.

My caterpillar poem

What do caterpillars do?

Nothing much but chew and chew.

What do caterpillars know?

Nothing much but how to grow.

They eat and eat and by is by will make them be a butterfly.

But that is more than I can do, However much I chew and chew.

THE END OF TERM ONE

Today is the last day of Term one Horray!!!!

What I have done well this term was my reading, maths and helping my friends when they are stuck of something. I feel like I need to work on my Writing and using descriptive language. I would do lots of Writing at home and also at school to make things better for the next term. I felt happy and amazing working in Room 10 this term because my friends and teacher supported me.

Math Problems

WALT: Solve division and multiplication problems using various strategies.

There are 125 students in a school. They were given some sketching pencils by and Art Supplies Store.

1. If each student received 8 pencils each, how many pencils were there altogether?
2. If there were 25 pencils in a packet, how many packets of pencils did they receive?
3. If the price of one packet of pencils was $12.00, how much did the store spend on the pencils?

Problem	Strategy	Answer
A.If each student received 8 pencils each, how many pencils were there altogether?	125 x 8 = 100 x 8 = 800 20 x 8 = 160 5 x 8 = 40 800 + 160 + 40 = 1000	1000 pencils
B.  If there were 25 pencils in a packet, how many packets of pencils did they receive?	1000 ➗25= 40 I know 25 x 4 = 100, so 1000 ➗100 = 10, so 10 x 4 = 40	40 packets
C. If the price of one packet of pencils was $12.00, how much did the store spend on the pencils?	$12.00 x 40 = 12 x 10 = 120 So 120 x 4 = 480	$480.00

Fun time with dad and friends.

One hot, sunny morning, my friends and I went to play outside. Then my dad came and told us to get into the car so we could go to the Otahuhu pools. I ran inside my house and got everything that we all needed for the pools. My friends and I were very excited because we were going to the pools.

When we got there, we were already changed into our togs. We all started at the bombing place. My friends and I went to the bombing place and we jumped off the plank. After that, we went swimming in the swimming competitions. We all took turns and I came first but my friends came second.

On our way home, my dad asked us if we wanted to eat some food, so I and my friends said yes and he took us to KFC to eat.

After eating our delicious dinner we were so glad because it was our luckiest day ever. It was an awesome day. My friends and I all said thank you so much to my dad because he took us to the pool and to KFC to eat. It was the most brilliant day that I have ever had.

I really wish that day could happen again.

Riding on my skates was really hard because I have to try something that I have never rode on since last time.I have rode a skate but I forgotten so I have to bring my friend to help me.Me and my all of my friends  start off with some steps.First one is that I have to run a cross the road and I did it.Running with it was so hard no matter how hard I tried I keep on falling and making mistakes but I learnt from my mistakes.When I got used to it I rode on it.

I also showed my parents and cousins and my aunt & uncle.They were very happy and they take me and my friends when with my uncle to the Otahuhu pool and swim.We were really happy to be at the pool.
