Maths

For numeracy today, we have started to learn about angles.  

We learnt about 3 different angles this week - acute (less than 90°), right angle (90°), and obtuse (larger than 90° but smaller than 180°).  We also learnt how to use a protractor to measure angles.  We know that we need to measure an angle from a vertice (a corner where two straight lines meet).

Kia ora bloggers,

For our create task, we had to measure three different angles on the first letter of our name - can you  figure out if they are acute, right angle or obtuse?

Lonely Joe

Kia ora bloggers,

This week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell.  When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences.  We want to show them - not tell them.

For example:  Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realised he had just missed the bus.  But instead I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away.  Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realised that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now”  You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated.

Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man.  We used Adobe Spark to do this.  

Have a look at my video and see if you can you make some inferences about what I have written.

Do you think the elderly man is happy?

The scavenger hunt!

Hi Bloggers,

For numeracy this week, we have been learning about grid references and we have been working on 4 and 6 digit grid references.

We learnt that we read across the bottom of the grid first (Eastlings) and then up the side second (Northlings).

Our task today was to look at an aerial map of our school, write down the 6 digit grid references for the letters that our teacher had put on it, and then go in hunt of those points.  At each point there was 1 or 2 letters.  Once we had them all, we had to come back into the hub and unscramble the letters to figure out what it spelt.  The secret sentence was ‘Happy Birthday Zoe’.

I really enjoyed the task.  Have you ever had to use grid references before in real life?  What was it for?

See you next time,

 

Hey readers ,
I´m sharing some work on  the twits that i did during the week so it was how we described them and how the really were  what i  thought is on the left side and what it really is on the right side quick question: How much info do you know about Mr and Mrs twit?  i have a few facts about them i sure there is way more please comment and tell me what i need to work on hope you enjoy the few facts that i have wrought. See ya next time!

The quest of the bee bots

Kia ora Bloggers, 

For Numeracy this week we have been looking at compass directions.  We have worked on reading maps using the 8 main directions - North, South, East, West, North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West and then we moved onto using Bee-bots and our knowledge of compass directions to get a Bee-bot through the grid to various locations.

 We had to programme the Bee bots with our own algorithm, using forwards, backwards, turn right,left and N, S, E, W.  It was important that we regularly tested our algorithm to check we didn’t need to de-bug (find a problem and fix it).

Here is an example of my algorithm: 2 squares ⇧west, south  ⇦ 2 squares south⇩,2 squares west ⇨ etc.

Have you ever written an algorithm for something?  Have you ever had to use a compass for  something.

Going solo -the green mamba

Hello  readers ,
Sorry i have not posted in so long but i will post from this day on so what i am sharing with you guys my class and i were told to write piece on what thought happend in the story so i did and now i  poped it on here so you could read it comment on what you thought and i  could improve on what have written 2-weeks ago.
That’s a good snake says the snake-man as the snake slithers into the bag giving up on trying escape from him i look back to the kids and Mrs fuller and say he has got the snake! That jump up in excitement but what about jack said the little girl i say he is ok!  even tho the dog was bitten by the snake. I felt bad for lying but i did not want to hurt the girl and the boy’s feelings that poor dog was probably just chilling on the sofa and the green mamba just came up to him at bite him. Mr fuller goes in and takes the body of the dead dog and takes it to the backyard without the kids seeing he buried him and came back out to his family i smile to  the snake -man and head of and sit with them to.
