Walt: find 13 ways of showing ½

In this game, you have to find 13 ways of showing half. I needed to know what was half of 8. It was easy to find the 13 ways of showing half because I just needed to click on four of the white tiles. They all have to be unique designs. This was a very awesome game and next time I would like to learn more on algebra.

Andrea- Making a Pyramid

This is the pyramid that I made. I used a compass to connect the lines together to form a triangle. This was a little difficult for me because I struggled using a compass because I hadn't used it before so I had help from my teacher. I would like to learn more about nets.

;Iced Tea Peach


Walt: draw a brand of a juice.

In technology I was drawing a fruit. I drew a peach as my juice. The name of my juice brand was Iced Tea Peach. I used the site called sumo paint to create my peach drink. I think this was a good drawing of my picture. I like how I used colours that are peachy colours.

Arihi Comparison of Fractions

This game is called ordering fractions. I had to put the fractions in order. I had to know what each one represents. I found this game slightly easy because I knew what order they had to go in and the fraction wall helped me out. I enjoyed playing this game.

Tainah Enlargement

2014-08-08-100224.jpg

I learned to use scale to enlarge my drawing. I used a scale of 1cm to represent 3cm. This means that my drawing was 4 times bigger. The task was easy at first but when I have to draw the details it was very hard because it was my first time learning about enlargement.  I need more practice on drawing smaller pictures. Next I would like to learn how to do enlargement with more details.

Walt: make 13 ways of showing half.

In this game I had to show 13 way of making half. It was easy because all I did was make a half that I already did, then take away one and then add one. The challenging part was to make different halves. Next I would like to learn how to make 20 ways of showing half.

Andrea Book Choices for Children

Grumpy Elelphant.jpg

I chose to read the book “Grumpy Elephant” by Joy Cowley. It is about a Grumpy Elephant and the other animals make him laugh because they are all bumping into things. I think this is suitable for Juniors because it is a short story but it is also entertaining and funny and it is also extremely easy to read. I think the photos in this story would help them to understand the story and help them with the hard words. I also think that they should be able to read it by themselves because it has plenty of easy words. I am 100% positive that plenty of children would read this story because it is very interesting how the other animals make the Grumpy Elephant happy.

Ifa Commonwealth Games


I think that New Zealand did very well in the Commonwealth Games. Although they didn’t come first they still got medals. The sport that they got the most medals was cycling. New Zealand had 45 medals in the Commonwealth Games. The population of New Zealand is 
4 443 000.

Langa- People/Medal Ratio

medal table.png

The medal table is all about the countries trying their best to win medals. England was the top country that won a lot of medals, but when you compare it to the population of the countries, New Zealand was top. It was because out of four million, only around ten thousand people that wins one medal.
