Reading reflection

Reading

This week my group and I worked on the timeline of the Treaty of Waitangi. This activity was about telling us what happen to the treaty not about the singing of it. The treaty is a document which has been through tough events in its past. It was saved in a fire by George Eliot, it has also been eaten by rats. At the moment the document is held at the New Zealand National Archives. This document is very important agreement between the British Crown and the Maori. The purpose of the treaty was live together in New Zealand underneath common set of laws and agreements.

This is some other reading work we did, we chose the 6 important timelines about the treaty of Waitangi

Kiwi Can

In Kiwi Can rooms 10 and 9 combined to have there sessions together. When Kiwi Can started certain people were chose to be a tagger for a game. Ms Tuia explained the game, the objective of the games is not to be tug otherwise you’ll be out. Ms Tuia would call a fruit and you’ll have to jump, if they call a vegetable or something else and jump you’ll be out. We played 4 games and there was a different winner for each game.

We talked about our Personal strengths and how everyone is different, not everyone is the same. We had a warm up game and we were divided into 2 groups. One person will goes inside the circle and says something that they think they are good at, and the ones that think that they are good at it too runs around the circle. Whoever is the last person to reach there spot has to be inside the circle and then  it is their turn to say something that they think they are good at.

We played until it was time for the points. Both  classes got  23 out of 25.

This was our maths problem we did today.

From Auckland to Waitangi is 229 kilometres. We left Auckland at 9.39 am and arrived at Waitangi at 3.31 pm. Remember we also made three stops before we arrived at Waitangi.

Today's maths work was challenging and hard.

 This is one question I came across "What is your estimate for the average speed the bus was travelling?" My answer was 75-85 kph because we mostly travelled on a motor way. The maths problem was very challenging.

Sports Poem

Sports

Sports inspire us,

to compete.

Winning over losing,

is much more sweet.

We do it because,

we love the game.

Life without sports,

would not be the same.

Plenty of water,

we must constantly drink.

As we push our bodies,

to their very brink.

Sports bring out,

our inner drive,

To make the play,

we often dive.

We sacrifice everything,

for our team,

because a championship,

is our only dream.

Today during maths my maths group and I did a maths problem. The maths problem we did was down below

I did place value partitioning to solve my answer.

Marilyn needs to fertilise her front lawn. It measures 20 metres by 35 metres. Each bag of the fertiliser that she plans to use covers approximately 200m2. How many bags should she buy?

Remember: length X width

1.

20 x 30 = 600

20 x 5 = 100

600 + 100 = 700

20 x 35 = 700

2.

700 ÷  2 = 350

700 ÷ 200 = 3.5

3.

She should buy 4 bags and use half of it and use the other half when she does her lawn again
