Fun run

Last Friday Kawakawa Primary School went down to the United Kawakawa Rugby Club. We went down on a train to the club it was very short but fun when we got there I started to see where we had to run. Also I started to ask who the compaction because I had No nerves because I was ready toy nerves but when i started to ask i said to my self threes nothing to worry about because its just a fun run but i herd from my deputy prince-able the top five go to inter school. My parents said if i come first i would get 50 dollars but I didn't   then i really had to challenge myself to go to inter schools. Before we started it took awhile because we took photos. Then matua Bodene said behind the line ready set go then i bolted down the rocks I ruined my orange Nike boots as soon as I hit the mud. Here are some photos of us.

Project island song

Last week on Friday we went to Urupukapuka Island with My class and room 2 it was very fun going out on to the bow of the boat. The bow of the boat is located at the very front of the boat.

 We also learnt these 4 different words 1. Endemic: Native only found in NZ. 2. Translocation:Bringing from one place to another. 3. Incursion: Pests have got onto the island and similar to invasion. 4. Biodiversity: Different types of species.

One way to keep Urupukapuka island pest free is keeping your boat clean if your boat is not clean rats will get on to your boat and if you go to the island rats will be on the island and it will take three weeks to get rid of one rat.

Here are some photos of us on the boat and the island.

Maths

This week for math's we were doing a problem highest and lowest. We had to see what the highest number was we can make using  the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6. But we could only use 4 numbers any four numbers my highest number was 360. Then we had to see what the lowest number we could using the same numbers my lowest number was -8 (negative 8 ). The hard part was adding it together the easy part was just using numbers that were easy to add together. We were also using these strategies minus, addition, multiplication and division. This is my slide.

Explain writing

This week for writing we were learning to use a passive tone during our writing a passive tone is a non arguing voice I enjoyed finding all different ways to write about one topic the hard part was knowing if I was using a passive tone or not.

problem solving

This week for math we were problem solving.  we had to arrange sixteen  cups and saucers but there couldn't be the same combination. We used a 4x4 table and work systematically it was hard because we tried a game. And only a few people got it right i tried my self and got it wrong here is some of my work.

critical thinking

This week for reading we were learning to think critically thinking critically means to question the information we read.I am good at thinking critically because we read an article that we had to ask many questions about.The hard part was remembering what critical thinking was the easy part was contributing to the group.
