Maths

Today we had confusing maths lesson. My two partners was Fusi and Mata. We worked on a maths problem called Carries Cubes.We had to work on these questions below.

Carrie has glued some cubes together to make a large solid cube with nine small cubes showing on a face.

She paints the large cube red.

How many of the original small cubes have:

1. three faces painted red=8 Cubes

2. two faces painted red=12 Cubes

3. one face painted red=6 Cubes

4. no faces painted red=1 Cubes

And this is us working on the question.

And this is the model we used to work out the problem.

Glenbrae Kids

Today Room 7 went to Glenbrae Preschool. We had to read to them. When we got there we had to have a partner. My partner was Balu. The book I read to him was The Island of Horror. After I finished reading the book to him we played Hiding Ghost Seek. Then the Glenbrae kids had to sit on the mat and say bye to us.

Abstract art was created in the 20th century. It is an art movement that breaks away from drawing art as it represented in real life. There are many movements and artist that are classified as being part of Abstract art.

Kiwi Can

Today at kiwi can we talked about our new topic and theme, Our new theme and topic is Respect and For our school. 

We played a game called 4 corners. In the 4 corners there were names. Integrity, Honesty, careful and Truth. When the teacher called out 1 of 4 names we had to go to that corner. It was a really fun game to play and when you get to the corners you had to a action, The action's were a H, T, I and a C, you had to do it when you got to the corners.

Then we went back inside and played GKQ, after GKQ we had to go. 

Train station security

Dear Train station security I think you're gonna need some security to watch the train tracks because people are getting killed by running over the tracks when a train is coming.

Reason 1. What if a deaf person is going to cross the train tracks and he can't hear the bell and he thinks there is no train coming he/she might die.

Reason 2. Some people may be on there phone and their earphones might on  and what if the train’s coming but they can't hear or see it? There might be a chance of them dieing.

Some facts- From 1981 to 2015 people have died. Problary over a 100 thousand people have died or have got injured by train accident.

Most of the deaths are from the USA, the first accident started in 1831 and went all the way up to 2015, som of those accidents were train collision as well.

Reading work

This story was about a dog name Tom, he would always get nice stuff like a nice blanket in his Kennel, he would get nice food in the morning and he had a prefect owner that was so rich. All the other dogs were jealous of what he had until one day, when the owner was taking Tom for a walk tom saw these boys abusing the dogs that were jealous, so tom broke off his collar and ran and barked as loud as he could so the children could run off. When he got the dogs the children had run off back home. Later that night the dogs that he saved came to his house and started barking so Tom went to the gate and started barking back. Then the owner saw and thought in her head I think they are thanking him for saving him. She was right that day on the dogs always thought Tom as a hero.

Kiwi sport

Today room7 had kiwi sports. The sport we are doing is volley ball.Our coach's name is Antonia. For the first activity we did was called a Dig. First we had to get a partner then the coach told us how to dig then she told us to go and do a dig to each other over the net. There were three nets.

After that activity we did other activity that activity was called 3 hit set up. We had to stay with the partner. My partner was Levi R. When she taught us how to set to each other we went away and did it to each other it was easy setting to each other. After we finished setting to each other we had to we paired with other pair.

We had to pair because we were going to do something similar to sets. We had to pass it to our partner then out partner would pass it back and then you would have to set the ball over to your other pairs.

After that, we did spiking, if you were a left handed you would take one right step then one big left step and then put your feet next to each other and jump then slam your left as hard as you can. But if you were right handed you would do the same but your feet would go opposite. My partner and I moved all the way to the end, where I practised with him. My partner tossed it up and I spiked, then the opposite.

Next, we had a Volleyball match, where we were all numbered, I was number 2. So I got into place and opposite of me was my partner Levi R. I talked with him for a bit, then we had our match. In the end my team won against my partners team because the other team didn't have that good of teamwork.

After playing them, we moved on to another team where my team lost. Then, we packed up and left to class.
