Numeracy Reflection

For numeracy this week we did problem solving.  We had four problems to work on and we had to decide how we were going to work it out.  here is one of the problems I solved.  I found this a little bit hard to start with but then I used a whiteboard to work it out.  How would you solve this problem?

What have I enjoyed about this term?

I have enjoyed the art this term.   Looking at Robert Delaney and then producing two pieces of art using his style.   I am very proud of my artwork.

What have I not enjoyed about the term?

I didn't like the cross country run.   I liked the obstacle course part,  but the run itself was boring.   

What is one thing that I am going to focus on next term?

Listening to instructions,  and focusing on my work.

What is one thing that I would like to continue next term?

Is to do art because i think art is fun to do i like pastel paint and hand art. 

My Mum

Walt: Describe a family member using interesting words.

This week we had to describe a family member. I chose to do my mum and here are my ideas.

My mum

Nice       takes me to sports

Kind       supports me to do my best

Helpful   cooks amazing dinners

Loving    loves me no matter what

Pretty     

   

Warm hugs Sometimes I feel sad when mum's not around.

Eyes - brown,   Hair - dark brown, wavy,   wears it in a messy bun ,  skin - tanned and wears makeup.   Soft but strong voice,   chuckles when laughs.

My mums name is Te Ana and she is 29 years old.   I love my mum very much and  she loves me just as much and doesn’t matter what I do.

She has dark brown wavy hair that she usually wears in a  bun.   Her eyes are also brown.   Her skin is tanned and she wears makeup often and I think she is beautiful.    She has a soft strong voice and chuckles when she laughs.

My Mum takes me to sport,  cooks me amazing dinners and helps me when I have problems.   She is kind, caring and loving.

My Profile

Literacy Reflection T1W7

This is some of my writing from this week: 

My favourite part at camp was the seal colony.  There were so many baby seal pups at Tauranga Bay. A kea went down where the seals were. It looked very scary for the kea. I thought it was going to be eaten because seals will bite things that move.

We had to write a paragraph about our favourite part of camp and include lots of information using the 5W's and an H.

Term 1 week 4 Electronics

Two days ago Andrew came and talked to us on how to make stuff that could read your strength and can see how bright it is. One had a light that changed colour. It was super fun because the lights was very colourful and bright. I liked the crocodile pegs and the nails to help the LED's work because they were different colours.

I found it hard to make the LED work. I found it easy to grip the nail to calculate my strength. Here is some pictures of the session:
