Buld a bug


In maths I am learning to build a bug using addition,subtraction,division and times table. The thing that was easy for me was the addition,subtraction and my times table. What I need to learn the most about is my division. I don’t know much about division. I need to extend my self to a higher level.  

Pyramid Solitaire: Ancient Egypt

















To play this game, you have to make thirteen. When I first played this game, I didn’t know what to do so I asked someone to help me. After a while I got the hang of it. My highest score for this game was 103,666. I was proud of myself.  What I need to learn next is to multiply by 10,100 and 1000 and multiples of 10,000,000.

Technology with Mr Nobel


Today I was working with Mr Nobel and the other people. We were studying about graphics. First we had to line up and wait for Mr Nobel to tell us to come in. After that we had to pray. After the prayer we had to learn how to draw with a pencil. First we had to sit up straight so we can see the what we are doing. Secondly, we had to hold the pencil with two hands. Thirdly we had to hold the pencil lightly. We practiced by drawing letters. I couldn't do a straight line but I practiced.

My Pet Rabbit



I would like to have a pet rabbit. The amount of the rabbit is cost $60 a week. I don’t think that my mum can afford the hutch because there are 2 reasons why,1st reason is that there's not enough money to buy the hutch and 2nd is that my mum has to pay for the bill. My mum wouldn’t like to have a pet because she has to spend all her money on the pet,the house and for us kids. My mum gets a lot of money every week and she has to spend them all on the pet.

To Pak 'n sav


Hello Pak ‘n sav the lunch was delicious
I had a yoghurt and it was suspicious
Everyone made a sandwich and was nice
The teachers and parents gave us advice
So thank you very much for the ingredients
Because we had a fun time and it was brilliant

Rain


rain rain I can’t stop the rain
and then everyone complains
the rain pours on my head
and I can feel the rhythm of it
the rain comes in bucket loads
and there are floods on the roads
the rain keeps on falling on my head
the rain drums on the roofs
but the roof is like waterproof

                                         
 

Wylie a majestic eagle


Wylie a majestic eagle was starving so he went off to the Nile River to catch a fish with his sharp talons. On the way to the river Wylie was thinking of catching a slithery snake or even a juicy lizard.   

Wylie had to wait for the sandstorm to calm down so he can go to the Nile River. Wylie hopped on a stone and he started to think how was he going to get a scrumptious snake. Wylie was frustrated and unable to think but then he came up with a solution.

Wylie arrived at the Nile River and swooped down to get a closer look. He saw a big fish then gazed down as fast as a lighting and he caught it with his sharp talons. Wylie could not eat the fish so he had to eat it little by little.

  

 

coordinates




I am learning about the coordinates.

In maths I need to learn more about  coordinates. I didn't know how to do it, so Chase helped me. I got better and better at it, now I know how to solve the problem. I got the answer by looking at the x axis which is the horizontal line and then y axis which is the vertical line. So first I looked at the x axis which was minus 7 and the y axis which was 9 so the answer is -7,9. What I want to learn next is to use tidy numbers to solve problems and algebra.
