Fractions 27/10/20

 

Today for the first block of school Miss Nees-Kairua suggested we should do some maths. She split us up into three groups and then we took our books we were assigned to work on and headed to our work spaces. My group had to do fractions in a yellow book. It started pretty easy and got a little bit hard. With one of the activities we were able to choose if we wanted to do equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions or just write down the easiest answer possible. Me, Moala and Melenaite were working together but when it came up to the hard activities it was only me and Moala solving them. We chose to do simplifying fractions and equivalent fractions. They were quite fun to solve. After that we needed to solve an activity just like true or false. The book had a message like.. (eg. is this one half?) and we would have to answer yes or no! After that we needed to blog. That’s what I’m doing now and really enjoying it! Thank you!!

Number of the Day - 16/10/20 - 817

Today for our maths starter I chose Number of the day! It is a maths game where you have to write facts about numbers. It can go from 2 digits to 6! How crazy is that! I chose a three digit. That is my level. Today's number is 817. It was pretty easy. When the question "20 more" came up I forgot the seven but excluding that it was I'd day well done. 

Here is my activity-

You should try it.

Narrative - As I saw it - Me the Mākoi

 Me the Mākoi

Oh how clearly I can remember that day. It started with a very beautiful lady, some type of leaves and me! My name is mākoi and I have been through a really rough life. She was using me to make something called kākahu. 

She took me back to the village where she lay down something called the finest inner fibre of harakeke on a mat. Now this is the part where I became useful. She scraped me along the length of the first strip of harakeke.

She continued until we all heard someone talking out loud, saying something about a waka has landed. They were talking about a guy called Otiriunui who fell back on his spot, after the people on the waka heard a bang as loud as thunder! He was surrounded with items until he was shot with a big hole in his back. Everyone was so worried. 

251 years later someone found me. I was picked up by a little girl and taken to a laboratory which scanned me to reveal my history. I remember a bright horizontal light shining right in my eyes blinding me. They put me in a bag and transported me to the South Island where I was polished and sanded. After that I was taken all the way back to the north island in Auckland. I was taken to the University of Auckland. I was tested in the science lab. I heard a phone ring. They answered and I heard a tiny voice asking for me and many other objects. While that was in my brain I looked beside me and there were much more objects. I turned back to the call. A few days later a beautiful lady also known as a wonderful teacher took me to her class and I was presented to her class.

I am so happy with this story someone wrote about me. Her name’s Arvay and she is so smart ;) Thank you for reading this.

Sky High 1 - Literacy - Reading

Today in our google meet Me and Miss Nees-Kairua were the only ones to attend the reading secession. Our story was called Sky High. It was a comic strip about miners who had to take over the German shaft. It was quite a cool story at first but then it was sad because the leader (also known as sarge) died.
