The Vile Machine





To play this game, you have to know what to do. I didn’t know how to play this game because I got mixed up. I asked Matthew for help. Matthew knew the pattern because if there are two drinks that are the same and the others are different, that means it equal. It was extremely challenging because I got all of the answers incorrect. I think that the teacher can make it even more difficult then I will try and figure it out.

Inspirational Person Sir Edmund Hillary


Walt: use our research to write an essay on an inspirational person.

In secondary school, Hillary became more interested in mountaineering. He has conquered  Mount Everest, that is why his face is on the five dollar note. I chose Edmund Hillary as my inspirational person because when I’m  grown up I will climb One Tree Hill. Edmund Hillary had a lot of perseverance. It took about seven days to climb to the top of Mount Everest. Sir Edmund first climbed Mt Ollivier.  

During World War 2, Edmund applied to join the Royal New Zealand air force. Edmund Hillary is the most honest man in the universe. Edmund Hillary is a modest. Hillary will encourage me to climb One Tree Hill. Hillary accepted a huge challenge by climbing Mt Everest.

Edmund was married to Louise Mary Rose. They had three kids. Their names were Peter,Sarah and Belinda. Louise and Belinda were killed in a plane crash near the Kathmandu airport before they were going to take off.

Streets and schools were named after Edmund Hillary around New Zealand. Their names were Hillary collage in Otara, Edmund Hillary Primary School in Papakura.

A 2.3-metre bronze statue of Sir Edmund was outside the Hermitage hotel at Mount Cook Village, New Zealand, in 2003. In 1945, he was sent to Fiji and the Solomon Islands where he was badly burnt in a boat inciden.

Hillary was my inspirational person because I wanted to be famous at art instead of being a mountaineer.

Converting fractions into decimals



Walt: convert the fractions into decimals.

To play this game, you have to know how to convert a fraction to a decimal. It wasn’t easy for me because I didn’t learn how to convert the fraction with 4 digits. I knew  how to convert fractions with a denominator of 10 or 100. I remembered that I just needed to write 787 because there is no numbers on the denominator except the number 1. I think that the teacher can make it more difficult by putting more digits on top.

Identifying fractions



Walt: find fractions of a shape.


To play this game you have to find a fraction of a set. It wasn’t challenging for me because you just have to find 3/4. 3/4 for an example means that if you draw a circle, then you draw it into 4 pieces, you have to shade in three pieces then you’ll have one more piece left.
