The Amazing Maths Problem

 In Te Ngahere we did this fun maths problem, it was called how many legs in a barn. The problem said one third of the animals in the barn are chickens the rest are pigs. There are 20 legs altogether how many pigs are there? It was about fractions and I think I did well showing and explaining how me and my group got the answer. I think I can do better with asking my group if they understand or if they have questions to ask me. It was very fun and exciting because me and my group were the first ones to get the answer and to show how we figured out. The answer was 4 pigs in the barn because pigs have 4 legs and there was 2 chickens and chickens have two legs.

The Amazing Fun Cybersmart Fish Tank

 In Te Ngahere we did a fun activity it was about how to make a fish on a Google drawing. We used  shapes to make fish and anything else in the ocean it was super fun and very hard. We did this Google drawing to show our learning and a creative way. I think I did well  making all these different creatures out of shapes. I think I could do better making my creatures looks more interesting and bigger to take up more space. I think this will help me in the future to make my work look more exciting and interesting. This was very fun and  very hard at the same time because it was hard to get all these shapes to look like fish and sea creatures. Have you made fish out of shapes before?

The Amazing Mother's Day

 On Sunday the 9th May it was Mother's Day. My aunty & I went to the shops to get breakfast for my mum, we also got her some presents. I got her some lollies and a Mother's Day card. My aunty made breakfast for her we had bacon, eggs, toast and hash browns. She was still sleeping then she woke up and we gave her breakfast. I had to write a lot of sentences in the card, when I was finished I drew her a little picture on the card. Then I gave her the lollies and the card, she also let us have one candy each. We also cleaned up the house for her because it was very messy she also told us she was having the greatest Mother's Day ever. 

What did you do for Mother's Day?

Making Extremely Hard Catapults

 In Te Ngahere we did a fun challenge it was about teamwork and following instructions. We learnt about kinetic energy and potential energy. Potential energy is when energy gets stored inside of an object and when it moves its kinetic energy. For example a bowling ball has potential energy when it is still but when you push it down a slide it turns into kinetic energy because it is moving, Kinetic energy is when something moves. 

We did this challenge for collaborating, working as a team, for our brains and asking questions. I found working as a team challenging because we all had different ideas and we didn't talk to each other or ask questions. I think I found it easy working with each other because we used our ideas and combinesd them in to one idea. Next time I think we will try to work as a team and let everyone come up with ideas and share them.

Have you ever made a catapult before?

The Hardest Test I Have Ever Done

 In Te Ngahere we did a reading test to see if we can follow instructions. The teacher gave us a piece of paper and on that piece of paper were instructions we had to follow. There were 23 questions on the sheet and we only had 4 minutes to finish the sheet. I started off okay and I thought it was easy. Then I got closer to the last question on the sheet. When I got up to question 16 I saw that I did it wrong because the last question said: “only do question 1 and 2 then flip your paper and draw on the back”. I couldn't be bothered reading all 23 questions so I skipped them and read them one by one going down on the sheet . Next time we do a reading test, I will carefully read out all the questions before I start writing. It was funny because everyone said they were the master at following instructions but we were all wrong. Do you think you can read instructions carefully?
