Solving Maths Problem's (Segments)

L.I- WALT find simple fractions of shapes and lengths.

Problem: Mum bought these lolly snakes. She shared each one equally among her five children. 

How many segments did each get?

I know the answer is 20 because......

One fifth of 100 = 20, I know the answer is 100 because 20 + 20 = 40 and another 20 + 20 = 40, so 40 + 40 = 80, and 80 + 20 = 100, another way is 100 divided by 5 = 20 and 5 x 20 =100

WHAT AM I GOOD AT!

These are the things I am very good at! 

At home, I am good at cleaning my own bedroom. First of all, I fold my blanket neatly, then I put all my clothes away neatly in the cupboard. Then I sweep the mess on the floor. I was cleaning  like a  wind.

At school I am very good at Maths. I can explain my strategy by using addition, multiplication, subtraction, division, and repeated addition. Another thing I am good at school is Writing. I can make the reader read my work by putting lots of interesting words, and a hook.

 I am very good at swimming. I can dive, and swim on my stomach. I can make friends when I have no one to play with. If I see someone when they need help I can rescue them just like a doctor.  I can play fairly with other people even if I do not know them.

Most of all  I am good at playing the guitar. I can play  lots of songs. It is very cool playing guitar because I can play anywhere I want and any-time I like.  

WALT.....write about what I am good at.

How Could Adults Be Better.

                How Could Adults Be Better.

I believe adults could be better if they stop fighting because their children could do it to other people. 

I think adults should listen to children because they might remind them about something that is very important.

Adults should stop hitting because it could abuse  their children.

Adults should stop arguing because it will cause a big fight.

Most of all adults should teach their children good attitude and stop drinking and playing loud music at night because it will disturb people's sleep and last adults should think before they do.

How a friend could be better.

             Friends could be better.
                                              
A friend should not be nasty and they should be loving and trust one another.

I like a friend that doesn't bully me because that person will get   bullied back. I also like a friend that don't fight with one another because it will just create a big problem.

A good friend should be gentle with one another by being helpful when they see other people getting hurt. They will get sad if someone won't  help them. They should not smack other people because it will hurt them.

Friends shouldn't tease other people because it will hurt their feelings. If I got teased I will get mad and tell the teacher.

Most of all if you see a friend that is lonely you should go play with them to have fun.

L-I WALT.. to persuade my reader about how a friend could be better.

Next we had to dial a number that was on a big screen. Then we had to blow on the phone. We all puffed and puffed and I saw the face of the person on the screen been blown.

Nose Blowing With School Nurse.

Nose Blowing


Last Last Friday we had our school nurse. Her name was Elizabeth.

Elizabeth told us to don't sniff because there's a tube that goes to your middle ear and you will be deaf. It goes to your middle ear, down your throat and into your lungs. A clear nose is when it warms the air, Moistens the air and filters dust and germs.

Next we all got a tissue. I had to block one nose and unblock the other to see if something will come out or if your nose will hurt. Then she asked my class and I a question , When you sneeze does some mucous come out? When you sneeze it goes into your lungs and you will be in a lot of pain.

Next she gave some stickers to Mrs Towmey and also gave papers that said how to blow your nose and it said when to blow your nose, ``Blow your nose before you go to school, before bed time and while your at school and when you feel you have mucous''.

Lastly we said a big thank you to Elizabeth for coming to teach my class and I about our nose.

I had lot of fun learning about my nose and how does it feel to have a clean nose.

I learnt that a clear nose is when you feel free and when you can breath probably .
