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.
