Tessellation

This morning our class Room 11 made tessellations. We had to choose a shape or anything to make a tessellation with. For those who don't know what tessellation is , tessellation is just a repeated pattern/shape. We had to glue our tessellation onto the paper and place it so the tessellation would show clearly.

The sprint Race narrative

Walt:write a narrative.

One day when a girl was in class her teacher announced that their was going to be athletics and she made it into the sprint race. The girl was nervous because she wasn’t really good at running she was prepared to Lose.

When she got home she told her parents about the sprint race and that she didn’t want to do it but her parents didn’t really take notice of what she was saying. When it became night time she was lying in bed thinking about the sprint race she was really nervous. She couldn’t even go to sleep. She got out of bed and walked into the basement and found a Secret formula it gives you super speed. The girl was thinking about taking it up to her room and drink all of it to give her super speed but then again she didn’t want to cheat but she drank it anyway.

Then the next day she went went to school ready for the sprint race she was also nervous because she didn’t know how to work her super speed. The bell had rang for lunch and after lunch was the sprint race. During lunch break she went somewhere and secretly practised how to use her super speed. She was going out of control running everywhere very fast but then she got the hang of it and couldn’t wait till the sprint race ( her moods have changed ) . Then the bell rang and playtime was over. They all lined up in one big line and walked to the track for the sprint race. The girls teacher was calling up all the girls to race , they all walked to one track and waited for the whistle to blow , When the teacher blew the whistle the girl spirited she went really fast it was so unbelievable everyone was dazzled because they have never seen anyone run that fast in their lives but what they didn’t know is she cheated. She was almost at the end of the finish line and everyone was catching up to her so she ran even faster so they wouldn’t catch her . Then she got even closer and closer to the finish line. Her heart was pumping and said to herself ‘’ you can do this ‘’.

She crossed the finish line and the crowd went wild as almost wild as the Tigers are when they roar. The girl was happy but also highly worried because she cheated and nobody knew.

     2. use words to paint a picture.

One beautiful Sunny morning mum and I decided to go for a walk along the park. So we packed up all our gears and went out for our walk.

While we were walking mum saw a lady from a far distance holding a baby bird. She decided to go have a look on what was going on. When we got their mum asked the lady what was wrong

but she didn’t say anything . I said “ he  might be sick ” then the lady looked up at us and asked us for help because the baby bird was not feeling very good and she didn’t know what else to do.

I touched the little bird and it was very cold . I suggested that we should get it a blanket so it can be warm. So I ran back home and got a warm blanket and while I was gone mum and the lady were having a little conversation on how the bird got sick and ended up in the park the sad thing is that the bird was sick because it got neglected from his family and hadn’t been eating for weeks and has been sitting in this cold weather. I got back to the park with the blanket and mum wrapped it around him.

We waited then we checked to see if he was warm enough but still he was very cold . Almost as cold as ice. We tried feeding him but he still wasn’t feeling good we had no idea what to do so we took him home laid him down by the heater and put him to sleep. So we waited and waited until he woke up. Then finally he had woken up. His face was red his arms were swelling and everyone started panicking so we called the Vet to see if they knew what to do.

Luckily we had time to see the vet. We got their straight away. They took the baby bird in. We was so happy. After a few hours the vet came out and said “ we have the medication for him but besides that we don’t know what do ”. We were alright with that. Mum took the cream/Medication and got the baby bird/Kiwi and we all went home. When we got home we put the cream on him then we waited. The redness was slowly disappearing and the swelling was slowly coming down. We were relieved.

Then the baby Kiwi finished his rest I picked him up and he wasn’t that cold anymore In fact he was feeling a whole lot better. Mum asked if she could adopt him since he had no family I thought it was a great idea. The lady said that we could keep it because we looked after him and made him feel better. We felt like hero’s.

Reading Measurement

 

Walt: Solve problems in measurements

In this game I had to read the length of the pencil. I knew the answer straight away because I knew ones in the middle were centimeters and the other one was the number line. I found this one pretty easy but then it had gotten more harder but not that hard though. I would like to learn more about measurement.

Understanding measurement.

Walt: Solve problems in measurement.

This game helps you to understand measurement. I found it difficult to work out but I started to get the hang of it. I would really like to get high marks on measurement  so I tried and tried until I got it right. I'm pretty sure of it now but I would still like to have help on it. This game gives you different questions they would give you Liters ,  Millilitres  , grams  and others. There were many other questions given. I got some right and some wrong but I kept on trying.

Music Boy

Walt: write a narrative.

2. write in paragraphs

There once was a little boy named Jacob. He really loved music. He’d always go in his room after school and play on his instruments or do some singing. After School Jacob would go straight into his room and play music. It was like music was one of his hobbies. He really loved music. His brothers would always go and disturb him while he was busy with his music.

His mother didn’t really like him playing the music or the instruments because she thinks it’s all a big massive waste of time. She didn’t realize that he loved music. In the mornings he would always crank up the music or in other words he would always turn his music up loud and it would always wake up everybody. She hated music really.

Jacob got to school and he found that their was going to be a music programme so he went home and told his mum but his mum did not agree with his suggestion he was really sad because he really wanted to be in the music programme.

The next day he thought about it and he just signed up anyway without her permission. He knew it was a bad idea but he would do anything for music. Music was his life. When he got to school there was a sign up sheet on the desk. He wrote his name on it. A few weeks later his mum asked him why he signed up when he didn’t have any permission. He said “ because he loves music”. Jacobs mum replied “ you’re too young you don’t even know what music is. He replied “ ahh it’s called learn”. Jacob had to take his name down of the sheet.

He was really sad. When he got to school he didn’t take his name down he didn’t want to. He was going to the practises and all. Then it came up to the music day. He had loads of fun.

The only thing was his mum found out. She was furious. A lot of questions were asked but he ignored her and took no notice.

Superhero to the rescue

Walt:write a narrative.

One day my friends and I were walking along the meadow. One of my friends said that they could smell fire. Then we noticed a fire truck.

As we were walking along we saw a big house that was on fire and a lot of people were surrounding it. Everyone was beginning to worry because there were kids trapped inside the fiery house and there was no possible way to get them out. The fire men even tried to get out their long ladder but that wasn’t even long enough.

I was thinking to myself we need a superhero then I looked up into the sky and saw a little flash of light coming down to us. So I went back to the fire truck to get the flash light and by the time I got back there was a man dressed in a cape and a superman costume. Everyone screamed/yelled “ Look it’s super man ”. One of the firemen told him if he could rescue the kids. So he flew up into the house without getting burnt , He swooshed up their got the kids and swooshed back out. Everyone was relieved and really happy.

The whole town wrote a thank you letter to the superman/hero for saving their children. After they gave the letter he swooshed back in the sky as fast as a cheetah. So we all went back to the fire truck just to check if everyone was safe and gladly everyone was safe.  

Genesis

After all of the entertainment/acting/talking was all finished we all gathered up and took a photo with all the Genesis people. We enjoyed having them it was really fun. One day I hope that they can return back to our school.

Superman

Today we had a show at our school and superman was there. Superman was their because he had the ability to stop fights and bully’s or Thieves. Superman would run around anywhere just to save people that need help. That’s why people should be just like superman because it is not good to be a bully.

So langa and Evelyn got ready for the first round. 3,2,1 GO! then they started everyone was getting nervous mostly me because I wanted Langa and Evelyn to win. It came down to match point 4/4 and the last point wins , Evelyn hit the ball so hard that it went far away we had to stop the match and go look for the ball.

Everyone was getting impatient because they were taking forever to look for the ball. Mrs Mary said that they had to find the ball before the bell rings otherwise the whole match would be cancelled. After a while Langa and Evelyn went outside and they saw too little children playing with the ball , Evelyn said to Langa “ go get the ball ‘’.

Then Langa asked for the ball back but the little children wouldn’t give it back so they begged and begged then after a while they decided to give it back because they knew it was the right thing to do . Langa and Evelyn went back inside and told everybody that they had found the ball everyone was so happy. The person yelled 3,2,1 Go then langa served the ball and then they carried on playing sadly the other school won the table tennis Langa and Evelyn were sad but they were also happy for the other school.

Guess the probability

Soft drugs.

Walt: write an opinion

I honestly think that Cannabis should be illegal because it makes people crazy and it tempts people to kill others. It also makes people feel high and they think that they are tougher than other people  because they are mentally addicted.

Cannabis should be illegal in all countries so people can be healthy and not mean to people or kids. Some parents actually don’t care about others because their main focus is drugs and Cannabis. Drugs  actually kill people because it has bad chemicals. I think that drugs should not be used if not tested because you never know what will happen. I think that  because there parents use their children could try it as well.

Drugs could be used for all sorts of things like sickness, health problems and mental problems. Smoking Cannabis mostly affects your heart and lungs or maybe sickness and it tempts other people to try it because they think it looks safe and because they think it’s okay to smoke Cannabis.

Rain Poem

My thought's on Milk in School.

Walt:share our thoughts on Milk in school.

In my opinion I think that the government should stop sending Milk to the schools because it is not their responsibility to feed the schools is is their parents but if the children don’t get feed at home then is it alright for the government to fed the schools.

Milk is healthy because it has a lot of protein and it gives you nice glowing skin.  Milk is good for your bones and your heart and it has full goodness and gluten free and good for your heart , bones and lungs.  

Probability Game..

In this game I had to find out what the probability would be if it landed on heads or tails. The answer was 2.  The game had given more and more of these sums some were quite hard to figure out and some were quite easy.  In some of the equations it took me a bit of time to figure it out.  Some of them are fractions and some are probability sums.

Identify Fractions

In this game I needed to write down the fraction of the diagram using the slash bar / . The answer to this diagram is 1/11.  I knew the answer was 1/11 because there are eleven strips and there's only one strip shaded in.  What I would want to learn next is to add and multiply  fractions. It didn't take me a long time to figure all these sums out. Some parts of it were challenging and some parts of it were easy because I just needed to figure out the fraction of the diagram.

Prevention is better than cure

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the public health dept.

This morning at our school Glen Innes School. A lot of nurses came to our school to talk about Rheumatic Fever we were all excited because the Vodafone Warriors came also. The Vodafone warriors came to our school to encourage us that getting a swap in your throat is not scary. Doctor Alison Leversha from the Starship Hospital also came to our school to tell us to always wash and protect our skin so no dirty germs/bugs could get into our skin.

A man named Awen Guttenbeil an ex warrior player talked to us about his journey through life when Awen was 9 he had gotten sick but he never treated it because he wanted to compete in the sports that he liked then but he couldn’t move his joints were sore and he could not walk or move because he was paralysed.

I think the message that the nurses and the warriors came is to tell is to always protect our skin and wash your hands at all times. This whole thing thing was based on Rheumatic fever and were trying to fight it.

Money wise

Money Wise

Walt: write a response to the talk by evan

Yesterday afternoon a man named Evan from the asb bank came to talk to us about spending money wisely and saving money. The phrase that Evan used was spend some on you but save some too.

Personally I think that saving money is important because you’ll never know when you need money for actually causes. All of the kids from our classes focussed on Evan speaking about the money and and incomes and high low and medium taxes. I learned a lot from Evan I learnt that if you're 16+ you're not all allowed to get paid lower then $13.50 an hour and I also learnt that its okay to spend money but it’s ok to save some to.

In my opinion I thought it was great learning about saving money he didn’t make us bored or tired.

Reflective Symmetry

Walt:Draw patterns to show reflective patterns.

Today my class made designs we had to draw patterns showing the reflective symmetry. Reflective symmetry is when two sides are exactly the same like when you look into the mirror . The reason why we drawed the patterns was because we were learning about symmetrical lines. I found it really difficult to draw the patterns because I had to draw the symmetry patterns exactly the same. The other tricky part was actually drawing it.
