Word Web- Synonyms and Antonyms

LI: to find the most important (main) idea in a text.

Rocket ship- Blast Off

L.I. To use place value to solve equation

Over the past couple of weeks my maths group played a game called blast off. It helped me understand and get place value. I found it difficult to understand the game at the beginning but I started getting the hang of it. The game shows how the numbers work in a place value house and where you can put the numbers so that it is place value not something else like putting numbers anywhere. You also need a die and at least one player to play this maths game.

General Knowledge- Russia

Today I did a general knowledge on Russia. I found learning about Russia interesting and quite fun. I also liked learning about Russia. The thing I found difficult was trying to pronounce the words in Russian.

Hauora- Olympics Inquiry

Over the past couple of weeks I did a Google Presentation on Hauora with Mrs Anderson which is the whare tapa wha of our well being and health in Maori beliefs.

Over this Week Tongariro read a text about a girl named Suzie Long who hates her next door neighbours hens. I found reading easy because it was pretty straight forward. I also learnt words I've never heard of before. I also learnt how to properly write a persuasive text and identify what kind of text it is. I had to summarise the text, explain what I did, and show what we did.
