Maths DLO - Dodecahedron

DLO - Icosahedrons

   

First of all, the question is 'Zoe can make 18 cushions in 3 days. How many cushions can you make in 7 days?' I think the answer is 42. Reason being is because you have to find out 18 divided by 3 which is 6. So, to find the answer you have to multiply 6 and 7 which comes to the answer 42.

Next Step - Maths

In room 22, we have been assigned to chose what area around maths are we going to learn more about and accelerate in our learning. There were many to chose from but I choose Percentages, Decimals and Fractions. To help me accelerate in my learning in Percentages, Decimals and Fractions, I will watch the 'Next step' video on Teacher tool. These are the different kind of skills we are learning.

Reflection About Creative Strand

Yellow Hat - The things that I enjoyed were carving and painting over it. At first I was too scared to carve, but now I love doing it!

Black Hat - The things that I didn’t like were people mucking around and not getting enough time to carve. I also didn’t like how my hand kept cramping up, it was annoying!

Green Hat - Something interesting about this week was learning the names for all the different design.

White Hat - The thing that I learnt this week was how to carve curved lines. At first, I was going all over the place now I like doing it.

Hip Hip, HOORAY!

Monday 22 July 2013. That date specificity holds a special day and that day is my auntie Millie's birthday. It was very special because she was turning 21 and you only turn 21 once. " We are going to make her a big feast for her birthday!" my mum said as she had just come back from Pak'nsave. My mum pull savoury's, sausages, crab meat, chicken, vermicelli and pork out of the Pak'nsave bags. We sorted out the food and started to cook.

The kids were cleaning and the adults were cooking and everyone was doing something. It was meant to be a surprise but somehow, she figured out. Even though she knew, we still did it for her. Cooking and even more cooking, cleaning and even more cleaning, it was a very busy day. When we finally finished everything thing, we set up the tables and then she arrived with her friend, Shelly.

As she walked through the door, we all sang happy birthday to her and she smile. Then we all gave her a big hug and we started to eat. The food was going as fast as a cat running away from a dog and when it was finish, we got to the desert. For desert we had ice cream and a chocolate log. It was so delicious and I wanted more but there wasn't any more.

It was a very big and busy day so when the day ended, everyone went to sleep and had a good night rest. When it's your birthday, I wish you the biggest happy birthday anyone could ever give and hope you enjoy your birthday. Hip hip, HOORAY!

Bronwyn Brown

Bronwyn Brown. You may not have heard of her before but she studied food technology at Massey University. She came to our school to talk to us about sports and our daily life nutrition. The reason why is because this term we are studying about healthy food and being fit for life! Her job at Tip Top was all about tasting and creating new flavoured ice cream.

 Now she works for Horleys (sport nutrition products). Her very first job was at Tip Top ice cream and she was involved in the development and launch of many ice cream products. She also worked for Fonterra which makes dairy products. This term, she came to our school and talked to us about her job at Horleys and the kind of food she works with. We really appreciated her coming to our school and we just wanted to say and very big ‘Thank You!’
