Afterwards, we went to go and find the materials Nanogirl had said. 

Here is our  plastic cup, a plastic spoon, a coca cola can, a tin, a thick box, a piece of paper, string, and tin foil.

kick start / Art Colouring Book

In our Summer Learning Journey teaser task we did a task where we had to colour in a drawing. 

First  we had to find a picture there were a lot of picture to pick.

First we did the picture and we saw the original picture then we started drawing the picture we use different colours and it  was really easy.

Then use the colour below the picture and there are a lot of color to use we pick some color.

Basic Facts boxes

 

Today I did subtraction up to 10.

I did subtraction and it was easy and it was not hard and it was really easy and it was not hard.

Fractions

 Fractions are one whole thing divided into equal pieces.

Fraction have two parts,the numerator,and the denominator.

The denominator tells the size of the fraction.

The numerator shows how pieces there are.

an example is five eights the factor size is eight.(5\8)

there are five pieces,so the numerator is five. 

see below for example.

Inquiry | Emergency Shelters

 

Emergency Shelters are used to protect people from disasters. Disaster like earthquakes,

storms, rain and  volcanic eruptions.

An Emergency Shelter needs the correct material. Concrete is the strongest material for storm

protection because when a thunderstorm strikes concrete nothing will happen.

The shape of the shelter is a type of 3

The materials that were picked were concrete because it is good for storm protection because

when the storm hits it won't fall. 

Wool was picked because  it can keep things warm. 

Wood was picked because it can protect the roof from falling.

Fractions

For this week we did fractions and we use cup and we dawe a line on the cup.  

Then fractions we made was quarters and eighths. How we made it we use a cup and we cut it in to pieces there are eights and 4 quarters.

After 1 of the number is denominator and numerator so the top number is the numerator and the bottom number is denominator.

I think fraction are good because is great and it is good for the division.

L.I. to define "fraction".

Maori name.Rua

First we had to match the Maori names to the English names. Some names sound like the English name. We used Maori Dictionary for the ones we could not work out.

Afterward I showed whaea Odie then a group went over to the mat and whaea Ode taught us some new words.

Then we play a little game and the game was we to go right and left and we did that 6 time.

homonyms

Multiplication

Multiplication is an easy way to count a lot the same number. These slide are the five times tables and the two times tables.

art

I did a Australian aboriginal art and we had to dot into the paint it and we had to drag it and we had to make a story with Dots and we story is about a Joey and a Kangaroo traveling along but it starts to rain when a man tries to hunt the joey and a kangaroo.

Writing is mostly about sentences. You also have to remember Capital letters, punctuation marks,  and homophones. For your sentences to make sense you have to make sure that you have the right homophone, homonym or homograph and Capital letters for the reader to understand. Homophones sound the same but don't spell or mean the same.  homonym are spelt and sound the same but have different meanings.

Homographs words that share the same spelling, sound different and  different meanings.
