Math Quizzes and Challenges

This week we recorded our results from the quiz's that our partner made.

They were two quizzes a 20 question quiz and a 15 question quiz. The first quiz was based on Addition, Subtraction and fact family's. I got 9 out of 20 answers correct.

The second quiz was based on fractions, time, money, statistics and geometry (shapes). For this quiz I got 8 out 15.

I think I can do better next time I do this quiz.

Filming

My writing groups started to film using Fotu's Narrative, story board, screen play.

First the actors practised their lines using the screen play then we used the story board to see we're the actors we're going to act.

Once the actors memorised their lines we started filming.

When the film was complete we used WeVideo to edit the film and Freesound.org to add sound affects.

I enjoyed filming but I found some scenes hard

SLJ

We completed the Summer Learning Journey teaser. Witch was about recolouring art works.

First I coloured in the leaves then I coloured in the background.

I enjoyed colouring this piece of art work

Moari places

Today we translated Maori places in the North island into English.

First I matched the English places into Maori places I knew. For example Rotorua means second lake.

Then I used Google to figure out the places I don't know.

Writing | Commanding Conversation

Commanding Conversation is a can do for writing.

I wrote two conversations on an image of three kids and two girls on motercycles.

My first conversation was about three kids playing a game of tag. My second conversation was about two girls complimenting each others moter cycles.

I think Commanding Conversations is a great way to improve use of punctuation.

Touch Rugby

We practised passing and throwing again.

First we practised passing and throwing to get ready for a game of touch. 

Next we played a game of touch. There were three teams one team relaxed while the other teams versed. Once the game finished one team swapped with the team relaxing. We kept on repeating this.

I learnt many useful skills in touch during the past few weeks.

Noval Study

The Witches is a fictional book created by the author Roald Dahl. This book is about a boy and his grandma trying to get rid of witches to try to stop children from dispersing.

Chapter 20 is about the witches standing on tables and chairs going crazy because Luke poured a bottle Formula 86 Mouse Maker into their soup. After a few seconds all of the witches turn into mice.

Chapter 21 is about Luke wondering what happened to Bruno. Luke also has a question it was how long do mice live for. It turns out Luke's grandma has done research normal mice live for 3 years but people mice live for 9 years.

The last chapter is about Luke asking his grandma what what will happen now that they have destroyed the Grand High Witch. Luke's grandma says their is always a backup Grand High Witch ready to take the others place if something were to happen.

I enjoyed reading this book and I think its a great kids book.
