Netball Training

Today, The whole of room 7 got to participate in Netball Training. We first walked onto the courts and greeted the coach, we then got into pairs to simulate Attacking and Defending. After that warm-up we got into groups of four, we had to intercept the ball between a pair that was passing. This continued on for the next 10 minute.

After that, we were pulled into a bigger group of six and played 4 corners - if you don't know what it is, it's four people in four corners and one receiving a ball from each, one defending the ball from getting to the one receiving and one calling the numbers of the four -. It went on for a while and then finally the last activity.

The final activity was a shooting game, in preparation the class got split into two big groups.  The coach called number and the corresponding number would run in from either of the two groups and grab one of the balls in the middle and then pass it around the team until it reached the last person, who passes it back to the shooter, who has now gotten inside the semi circle and ready to shoot.

The activity was pretty fun, even though my group had lost. In the end it was 18 - 22 (I forgot the actual score but this is pretty close) our score was pretty good for us as we all hadn't played netball much.

Anyway that's how this morning went, thank you for reading.

Plant Observation

Hypothesis:

Method: I predict that by taking out the soil will cause the plant to lose life overnight

The plant I will be observing is: Mint Plant

Observation day 1: The Mint Plant has lost its strength and is now flopping over

Observation day 3: The leaves and stem have turned brown

Observation day 7:It is now completely dead with it’s leaves and stem brown.

Explanation: Why did this happen to my plant?

It didn’t have any nutrients or water. The sun also had its negative effect by drying up the plant faster than normal.

Math's Work

Make a copy of this Document and Share it with your group and Miss Stone

Sharing Lollies

           We are learning to identify equivalent fractions

Maara and her three friends are going to share a licorice lace. If the lace is 12cm long, what length of the lace will each friend get? What fraction will they get? 1/4 3 cm

2 other friends approach Maara and would like some of the lace too. How can they split the lace (which has already been cut into quarters) between 6 people equally.   2/12

What would happen if yet another two friends wanted a share? 3/24

How many cm of the lace would they recieve? 1.5 cm

Moa and Ostrich Comparison

Today's Math

Today I was able to answer every single maths question I had for the rest of the day and now I am getting extra chocolate ;) Here are the questions

WE ARE LEARNING TO find fractions of whole and fixed numbers

Yesterday we were left with 6 chocolate bars split between 13 children. How much chocolate would each child now receive? 6/13

Miss stone doesn’t feel like chocolate today. How much chocolate would each child receive if their are seven chocolate bars.

There were supposed to be 14 children in our group, how much chocolate would each child receive if there were 7 chocolate bars. 7/14 equivalent to 1/2

Yesterday's Math

Yesterday we had these maths questions and I don't mean to brag buuuuuut I finished this faster than anyone else ;) Anyway have a try with the questions. P.S you better not peak at the answers if you do.

WE ARE LEARNING TO find fractions of whole and fixed numbers

Levi and Jayden have tickets for Rainbows end. Their tickets allow them to go on 20 rides each. In the first hour, Levi goes on 7 rides while Jayden goes on 6.

What is the fraction for the number of rides Levi goes on compared if his total number of rides?

7/20

Write the fraction for the number of rides Jayden has.

6/20

Write the fraction for the total number of rides the boys went on in the first hour compared with their total number of rides.

13/40

What fraction of their rides do they have left?

27/40

Moses has 17/4 of a bar of chocolate in his school bag. He gives Taki 5/4 of his chocolate. How much chocolate does Moses have left over? 3 wholes

Fusi also has some chocolate. After she gives Linda Kiki ⅞ of a bar she has 63/8 left.  How much chocolate did she have in the first place? 70/8 8 wholes and six-eighths

Potato Experiment

Today my classroom and I are conducting experiments on potatoes. The experiments we are conducting are to see if a potato will not grow without light

My hypothesis is that without light and soil it will not grow.

Holiday Summary

Since I've lost my recounts of the holiday I've decided to summarize it all up.

Ok, so after three nights Levi decided to go home and I then got the chance to go down to Rotorua, which I excitedly took, I mean who wouldn't want to go down there and spend time with family. My ride down there was my Sister-in-laws father. After arriving - which by the way was pretty late - we came inside and were told which rooms we were assigned. I put down my back and checked my stuff only to find my holiday work gone! (I still haven't found it, even now)

The 1st day past nothing really happened other than chilling out with my Brother and Sister-in-law. 2nd day, we went out swimming, which was really fun, then came back and had a mean feed. 3rd day, Me and my brother got to catch up quite a lot and we also went to Rainbow Springs where I was able to have fun with my Brothers child and go on the Log ride! which was the highlight of my trip. 4th day I went down to their Saturday night markets - which were filled with people - and got me a couple of Crepes and kebabs.

I then played around with my little nephew at the park which was just behind the Markets and played there for a while, we then headed back where me and my brother went out for a night drive. After that we came back and went to bed exhausted from the events that played out.

The next day was when I came back, though sad I was about to leave I was excited to get back home. After saying good bye and exchanging words, we left.

Now back home, I greeted everyone then went straight to my room and jumped on to my computer, only then forgetting that I had school in the next few days. The End

Holiday #3

Hi guys, The day just finished and I'm a little tired so I'm gonna be fast.

First of all, I woke up 2 in the afternoon, after me and Levi stayed up all night. After waking up I had breakfast, then got back onto my computer either reading, watching YouTube videos or playing games with Levi, This continued on for the rest of the day. Sorry for it to be so short but I'm getting tired as I'm writing this. Anyway thank you for reading and goodnight. Day 3 end

Holiday #2

Hi guys, I'm at home the day just ended, so I'm a bit tired right now. Other than that here the update.

First of all, I woke up, had breakfast and then jumped on my computer. Sadly this is usually how my life goes so be expectant of me just sitting on the computer. After a few hours of me browsing the internet, I had a friend come over, It was Levi - okay, if you don't know, there's another Levi at my school, well there's two other but the other one has his name pronounced differently - I greeted him, he greeted me and then he got on another computer in my house and we talked played games together such as Agar.io and other free browsing games.

The day went on like this for hours and after that I asked him if he wanted to stay over, He said yes, so I asked my Mum she said yes as well. I told him and he then fist bumped me and said " All-nighter?" I agreed and now here I am writing this blog. Day 2 end

UPDATE:

Due to internet problems I had to draft all my stories into another folder, had trouble recovering them. Some were deleted and now I'm a bit late at uploading them because of that

Holiday #1

Hi guys, I just got back from school, the holidays just started and I'm really excited. Here's what happened after I got back from school

First of all, I got home after buying me some food at a fish and chips place, I then greeted my Mum and walked into my room. I got onto my Computer and started watching YouTube videos. It carried on like that  for the next hour or so until I started reading old books I used to read.

It didn't change much after a few hours of repeating my earlier actions. But after reading the book, I filled out my Holiday form with the book I read and then went to bed. Day 1 end, I'll update you soon on what's happening. 

UPDATE:

Due to internet problems I had to draft all my stories into another folder, had trouble recovering them. Some were deleted and now I'm a bit late at uploading them because of that
