Christmas traditions in Bethlehem.

Hasbro

Hasbro came to our school to build the juniors a play house also along with children toys and board games. They are providing free sausages as well.

Christmas tree light up.

In this game I had to connect all the lines together. If i connected them right then it would've lite up. I didn't know which one the others connected to so I just left them. It took me a long time time just to connect these ones together.

Measurement in Room 12.

In Room 12 I played a game and it's all about measurement and angles. I found this game kind of easy kind of hard. I would like more help on measurement. I also found this game frustrating because I wouldn't know the answer.Next I would like to learn more about measurements and hopefully get my questions all right.

Tug team.

In this game I had to play tug team. It's like tug of war. I had to challenge Claudia. This game I had to play Bigger than and Greater than. I had to go by the timer. It was really frustrating for me. I won by 12 points. I didn't find this game challenging. The only challenging thing I found hard was going against the time.

American Muffin and English Muffin.

Walt:compare American Muffins to English Muffin.

Learn , Create , Share. E- book Muffins.

This is the only decent photo I have of me and her. Room 11 was studying muffins for our topic study. We made E - books and shared them with room 7&8. I read with Aretafaye. I read the story first then she read after. Aretafaye had a few problems with the words but she sounded them out and eventually got the words right. After she was finished reading I asked her whice muffin she would choose out of Apricot , Banana , Apple , Raspberry and Blueberry. She said her favourite would be blueberry because she likes the colour blue and also because blueberry's are nice.

LCM.

Walt: find the lowest common multiple ( LCM )

In room 12 I was learning about lowest common multiples. It's pretty simple really all you have to do is find the same ( smallest ) multiple in different times tables. For example I know that the lowest
common multiple of 3&4 is 12. I find it interesting to learn about. Now I would like to learn highest common factor. When I finish learning about highest common factors then things would be a whole lot easy for me.

I also learnt about the measurements and how to measure things. I learnt what

Muffins.

Monday afternoon Room 11 made muffins. There was Apricot , Banana , Raspberry , Apple and Blueberry. As you can see they came out pretty good.

Apostrophes.

In this game I had to read and answer. I read about apostrophes and then after that I answered questions. I got 2 wrong out of 7. I think I could do better. I would like to learn more about apostrophes.

Spelling: The skin.

In this game I had to memorize the words then spell them. I have got 3 wrong only because I couldn't remember the long words. I played the game twice and got 1 wrong and that was rheumatic. I would like to learn how to spell longer words.  

Equivalent fractions.

In room 12 I played this game. What I had to do was find equivalent fractions and match them together. I enjoyed playing this game because I got to learn what equivalent fractions are. So know I know. The  thing I found difficult was finding equivalent fractions to big numbers. That's also what I want to learn next. When I first saw this game I thought it was going to be hard but really it was easier then I thought.

Ordering fractions.

This game is called ordering fractions. I had to put the fractions in order. I had to know what each one represents. I found this game slightly easy because I knew what order they had to go in and the fraction wall helped me out. I enjoyed playing this game. 

Robin Williams.

Walt:write a paragraph on Robin Williams.

Robin Williams died at the age of 63. He was a great actor and a hilarious comedian. I enjoyed his movie Mrs Doubtfire where he pretends to be a grandmother. People say he died in his sleep and others say he hung himself.  He inspires be on being a comedian because I enjoy making people laugh and I like laughing myself. Many people looked up to him as an actor he has been in all great movie. The best movie I liked of his is Mrs Doubtfire because it’s so funny and I enjoy how he can be a grandmother and the father at the same time. It’s a really good movie.

Commonwealth games.

In the medal count England came first based on the numbers of the medals.It took about  56 000 people to get 1 medal. England had 174 medals. I think its more fear to say New Zealand came first because New Zealand only won 45 medals and it took 10 000 people to get 1 medal. In my opinion New Zealand came first. New Zealand has done really well to get all the way to the top. Comparing New Zealands medals to the rest of the country you could say that we come somewhere in the bottom.

Room 11 shared their migration e-books with room 3. My story was based on Korea. I thought they had a bit of trouble following what I was reading. When I was finished I asked them a few questions. They had a few problems saying the words and understanding them but I had told them what the words meant.

Spending Splurge.

I played this game with Andrea. The game is called Spending Splurge. Andrea started and then I went after her.  I started of with $1,750 and went on a 9 day holiday to Australia. I first had to buy the things I needed. I ended up with $12. To play this game you have to land on a item and choose whether or not you want to buy that item. With the money I had, I had to get a ticket , passport and a departure tax. Besides that I brought other things like snacks for the plane , Digital camera , travel backpack , toilet kit , earplugs , digital video player and brand labeled shoes. Then I was left with $12. From this game I learn’t to spend your money wisely and to always buy the things you need first and then you can buy what you want afterwards and not to spend my money on wasteful things.

Skipping in GI

Yesterday Room 11 showed of some wonderful skipping routines mixed with dancing. I think our routine was very different and unique to the others because we did something that no one else had done. We had fun skipping jumping and dancing. It was entertaining watching the other classes as well but in my opinion I thought our one was the best.

Why we need mouth Guards in sport.

All Dental Associations have found that one third of all dental injuries are sport related.  In most sports it is mandatory to wear mouth guards like rugby , boxing , soccer and league.  

One of the reasons for wearing mouthguards is to protect jaw injuries, cheeks and our gums.  Once you have a really bad accident when you play sport, your teeth will be knocked out and that's why people should wear mouth guard because you don’t want to lose your teeth, surely you will agree with me. Usually mouth guards would be around $5.00 but in dentists they would be about $200 so if you were smart you should probably buy it from the 2 dollar shop because it cheaper and it’s safe.

Mouth guards help prevent brain damage. If your face slams into the ground your jaw would literally slam into your skull to cause your brain would bounce out of place. That's why it is very important to wear a mouth guard, because you’ll never know what would happen. You wouldn’t want to risk losing your teeth so you should definitely wear a mouth guard.

Losing your teeth wouldn’t be really great. That's why you should always wear a mouth guard. Mouth guards help keep your teeth and your mouth safe. A lot of kids have lost their teeth because they have not been wearing a mouth guard so you should be lucky that you aren’t one of them.

Most people would agree that we must wear mouthguards during sport to protect them from losing your teeth.

Poem game

In this game I had to read 5 verses of a poem and then answer the questions that go along with it. I found it sort of difficult but then I got the hang of it and made it up to verse 5. I found it fun and I would like to do more of these poem games.

Jump Rope for heart.

Yesterday Glen Innes School when to the G.I centre to fundraise for the heart foundation. Also we showed of our amazing skipping skills. We have raised about $200 from yesterday. I could tell by all the children's faces, that they were having fun.  

Dental Presentation

Yesterday a lady named Mrs Wallbridge came to our classroom to talk to the children about why teeth is so important. We gave her a list of questions for her answer. She showed us pictures of kids teeth, I felt disgusted when she showed us a photo of a lady smoking. Mrs Wallbridge told us something that I never knew. Mrs Wallbridge said that if you get knocked out and your teeth falls out, their's a possible way to fix or else the tooth underneath won't able to grow. I was really happy that Mrs Wallbridge came to our class and explain us about fantastic facts about teeth.

In this game I am learning my fractions. I didn't find this game difficult but some were challenging. This game was easier then I thought.

Why we need mouth guards in sport.

Walt: Write a persuasive speech.

The Dental Association has found that one third of all dental injuries and sport related.  In most  sports it is mandatory to wear mouth guards like rugby , boxing , soccer and league.  I think that it’s important to wear a mouthguard because you might get a ball to your face and your teeth might fall out and it prevents someone from getting hurt.

One of the reasons for wearing mouthguards is to protect  jaw injuries because if someone hurts or hits your face, your teeth would be protected from the mouth guard. Also your jaw wouldn’t be affected. Mouth guards are mandatory in sports because it protects your mouth and your teeth wouldn’t get damaged. Usually mouth guards would be around $5.00 but in dentists they would be about $200 or even more.

Mouth guards help prevent brain damage. If your face slams into the ground your jaw would literally slam into your skull to cause your brain to bounce out of place. Thats why it is very important to wear a mouth guard because you’ll never know what would happen. You wouldn’t want to risk losing your teeth so you should definitely by a mouth guard.

Losing your teeth wouldn’t be really great. Thats why you should always wear a mouth guard. Mouth guards help keep your teeth safe. A lot of kids have lost their teeth because they have not been wearing a mouth guard so you should be lucky that you aren’t one of them. Mouth guards are mandatory in most sports like Rugby , League , Soccer and Boxing.

Most people would agree that we must wear mouthguards during sport.

Adding and Subtracting

In this game I am learning to add and subtract. I found this game challenging because some of the questions that were given were questions that I didn’t even know. I used place value to solve this question because I knew that 80 + 30 = 110 and 8 + 8 = 16 so 110 + 16 = 126. Next I want to learn how to work out these question besides using place value.

Race Relation Day.

Race relation day.

Last week Friday Glen innes school celebrated Race relation day. We had a few children dressed up in their cultures and spoke in their language.  The languages were Tongan , Samoan , Maori Cook Island and Burmese. They were all confident to get up and speak their language in front of the whole school.

Yesterday our class Room 11 went to the library. We went to share our e - books on basketball with the little children from room 8. I read with Eden. I read first then she went after me. I helped Eden with the difficult words because she had a lot of trouble trying to figure out what the words were. When Eden finished reading my e - book I asked her questions. I asked her what she found hard about reading the e - book and she just said that the words were hard to say.  

Word Confusion.

I am learning to use words that have the same pronunciation correctly.  I got these answers right clearly because I knew what they meant. I got a few wrong but that's only because those words were tricky. I’d like to learn the difference between more trickier words also how to pronounce them correctly. The only challenging bits were the words because some words were difficult and some words I didn’t know what they meant. Overall I got more right then wrong.

Science Experiment

We used Vegetables to make dye. When our dye was we used our cotton , silk and towels and put it into the dye to suck up all the colour. When it was finished it turned out great.

Today our class room 11 used vegetables to make dye. We used beetroot , onion skins , red silver beet , turmeric and carrots. The Lightest colours were beetroot and the turmeric.

Science at Tamaki College.

Yesterday The year 8's went to Tamaki College for a day. We took science and we had to light a bunsen burner. At first it was scary because we were playing with fire but then I sort of got used to it and had heaps of fun. I loved science.

How to make a Hamburger.

Children enjoy making hamburgers because they are really delicious. You could also make a vegetarian hamburger for those who don’t eat meat.

Firstly, place everything you’ll need onto the table or what ever the chef would be using.

Then, tip the oil into the frying pan and then grab the patty of your choice and place it on the frying pan.

After that,  butter the two buns and wait for the patty to cook.

Then, once the patty has been cooked place the patty onto the buns.

Next, Grab Tomatoes,lettuce,cheese,egg or whatever you like and put it inside the bun and lay it on top of the patty.

Lastly, Grab some sauce or mustard or whatever you like and place it inside the bun.Then the hamburger was read.

Hamburgers are easy to make. It doesn’t take long to make a hamburger.
