Financial Literacy

Today we had a lesson on Financial Literacy. Today we were talking about credit and debt. It was an very good lesson to me because now I know now to spend money carefully and wisely. The teacher that was teaching us was a lady and her name was Rachel. We also learnt that when you borrow things of others you have pay them back other wise you will have to pay more money back to them.

STARDOME

In the morning we went to stardome after we had dance fever. We left to stardome after we had finish our session on dance fever.

Straight after dance fever we had a little talk about what we a doing at Star dome. After we had the talk we were the first class to go to the bus because we were the best class to sit up straight. When we got on the buss we had to sit on at the end of the bus.

It took awhile to get to stardome but we got there. It was very exciting to bee there because the last time we went there was when I was year 5.

We had our lunch for a few minutes. After having lunch we got to go for a little bit of a play. It was cool because we got to play ball rush with all the boys and some of the girls. After playing it was time for us to go inside stardome and do some learning.

We got inside stardome and went straight to the space room. That where we called ask questions about space. We ask a lot of questions, but some of them were not really good questions.

Then we got to walk around in stardome and see some of the things that they used to see in space. Also got to see the space ships that they used to get into space with.

Last of all we got to go into were you can see a movie on how planets were made. It was a very good movie because we got to learn a lot about the universe and heaps about the planets, stars and constellations. It was a very exciting trip to be on.

POEM

The chair is as blue as the sky. 

The grass is green like the leaves on the tree. 

I see a bee flying through the big trees.

Then when I look at the cloud it makes me wanna frown

I feel like pounding on the ground.

Persuasive Writing

I am going to talk about why we should have one block of free time to do whatever we want. My main point is that We should be allowed to have one block of free

I believe that room 10 should have 1 block of free time.This is good because It will get the kids awake before its time for learning because they will talking to friends and they will be happy that they a playing.

First I will mention that room 10 should have 1 block of the day for free time in class. I believe that we should have free time because then the class will be awake to learn in class. Another reason is that we should be allowed to play games in the morning so that the kids will be in class early with all their school things will be ready for learning. Also because we need to rest our minds before doing our work. We should be able to play 1 block of the day so that we can have a rest from doing work.

My second point is that we should be allowed to have free time because this will be the only time of the day that we will be playing games. It is good for us to play games because once they've had their free time, they will be happy to learn.

My third point is that room 10 should be able to have free time for one block of the day because once the teacher says that its free time the kids will be listening and they will be happy before learning instead of being sad in the morning.

Duffy assembly

Today we went to  Duffy Assembly and it was good because there was a guy and his name was Myron Simpson. He is a person that loves to ride bikes when he was small.

When he was talking he said that he had won a silver medal in Mexico. He said that it was hard because there was alot of people that was racing. 

His favorite place that he had been to is Italy because there was alot of nice people, nice beaches and nice pizza. Also nice food in Italy.

Last of all he showed us his bike and his gear that he used to race in all the races, that he had been too. He said that his bike was very light, and that he could lift it up with his pinky finger. He also said that all his gear was Aero Dynamic,which helps him to go faster. 

KIWI CAN

Today we went to Kiwi can. Kiwi can was fun because every time we go there we learn something new every week.Our Topic this term is Resilience. It is a lot of fun for our class.

Today we our focus was facing new challenges. When we were in Kiwi can we played a game called hand circle and it was fun because we had to stay focus where your hands where.

The next game we played was ''DO IT'' It was fun because it was just like Simon says but we had actions and thats the only actions we could do nut he could Mix it up. It was a lot of fun.

Next activity we did was focus. There was one person in the middle and then there was four people around him and the person in front had to do a action. The person at the back had to draw on there back and the person in the middle had to guess what he was drawing. Then the people on the sides had to talk to them.

Last of all we had to go back in to a circle and then Mr Nomia was did the point and we got 25 and that was the highest point there.

Fundraising for our camp

The day started so cold. So I went and got heaps of jumpers on so that It wouldn’t be cold any more.

I was glad that we were going to do a carwash for our school carwash. I got very happy and started running outside cause I was excited. It was a very exciting day for me. I was very excited because I was going to be washing cars with my friends because this is how we making money for our` camp. Also because This was for our camp.

When we were going to school at 7.30am, there was no one there  so I went with my dad to Tamaki college, then I walked back to Glenbrae school at 8.00 am. When I got there, I saw a lot of kids setting up for the car wash.

After the student and teachers finished setting up the things for the carwash. They started to do the car washing liquid in the bucket so they can start to wash Mrs Elia’s car.

When some of the student finished washing Mrs Elias car they started to wash Mr Nath’s car. Then more cars started to come in, and we started to work faster because their were more cars that come in.

When most of the cars were already washed that's when I got very wet so I went to change out of my wet clothes and changed into my dry clothes and then I didn’t go back to wash any more cars.

Last of all,  it was time for people to start packing up their carwash things and go home. It was very cool because I got to be with my friends and wash cars with them to earn money for our camp.

We raised around $900 and that was a good result for only 4 hours of hard work. I hope we make a lot more money next time.

MATHS

He is My Maths Work that we have done this Week

Marilyn needs to fertilise her front lawn. It measures 20 metres by 35 metres. Each bag of the fertiliser that she plans to use covers approximately 200m2. How many bags should she buy?

Remember: length X width

1.

20 x 30  = 600

20 x 5 = 100

100  +  600 = 700

20 x 35 = 700

2.

700 ÷ 2 = 350

700 ÷ 200 = 3.5

She will have to by 4 but use have of the 4 bag so then that makes 3.5.

2) Mr Masua needs to fertilise our school lawn. It measures 35 metres by 40 metres. Each bag of the fertiliser that he plans to use covers approximately 200m2. How many bags should he buy?

30 x 40 = 1200

40 x 5 = 200

1200 + 200 = 1400

40 x 35 = 1400

1400 ÷ 2 = 700

1400 ÷ 200 = 7

The strategy I used was called Place value partitioning

Decimals maintenance (Write down the strategies you use)

Sally was painting her house. She needed 0.48 litres for each wall of her kitchen and 1.34 litres for each wall of her bedroom.

How many litres does she need for the kitchen? The answer is 1.92      4 x 40 = 160

4 x 8 = 32

160 + 32 = 192

How many litres does she need for the bedroom?

134 x 4 = 536 then I put the decimal point in the 5 and the 3

3.98 + 12.34 = 16.32

0.089 + 0.834 = 0.923

Which is bigger? 0.89 or 0.782 0.89

0.98 - 0.234 = 0.746

0.5 - 0.24 = 0.19

12.89 - 9.242 =3.648

TAMAKI COLLEGE

Today we went to Tamaki college to do science for our clubs in school.It was so exciting to do more interesting science.

We were walking to Tamaki but it was not fun because some of the students were being bad so we had to stop couple of times for them.

When we got there he showed us what he has make and one of them were a controlled remote car and the other one  was a crane. It was fun because we got to play with them and I was playing with the car for some time.

When he took the toys back he showed our group a slide show about what a microscope thing can do. When we looked at it it was not really cool because we couldn't see anything.
After that, we went to see what the teachers were making.She was making an topping with salt,some kind of liquid and they put it under the heat and it started to turn into water. After that they went put in some baking powder and then it started to rise. It looked nice to me.

When that finished they went and got a tray and it had some water but it was used for science. There was 2 bottles of water, 1 glass of of a tall cup witch was called a measuring cup.
When we stared we had to but the water in the measuring cup then we got some color and put the color and our color was red and blue and that made purple and that was a cool color. After that she put some kind of dish washing liquid in the measuring cup. After that we put the last bottle of water witch made the water exploded and it look cool.

Last of all it was time, Mr Mahotra ask Levi if he could fly this drone and it was funny because Levi almost crashed it in to the ground. Also landed right on the side of the table but lucky it didn't fall down.

Child abuse Is bad for people because when they hit you it leaves marks on your body such as cuts and bruises. Also it can disturber you child from there learning because there body will be sore for a long time and they will be crying.

It started of with an sunny day. I was thinking that it was going to be the best day in the holidays. It was very sunny that when I looked out side it was very bright so I closed the door.

When my dad asked me to get ready I said '' what a we getting ready for'' and he said that we were going to my cousins birthday. I just remembered that It was his birthday so I started to get ready as fast as I could because I knew that we were going somewhere very exciting. Next we got to there house, I went to my cousin and I said happy birthday to him and he said thank you.

Sciences with with Mrs Tofa

On Tuesday we were with Mrs Tofa and we were doing sciences the whole day. It was fun with Mrs Tofa. I liked the Science day.

When she finished, we had apples and she told use to put it into all the cups. The cups had sprite, L & P, vinegar. It was not cool because we had to stare at the apples till one of them turned brown. The first one to turn brown was the apple in vinegar and water. L & P and sprite were the ones that didn't turn brown. There are more chemical in vinegar so thats why it turned brown.

It was fun in the morning because we were watching Mrs Tofa talk about what science is about. She was talking about what will happen when baking powder and vinegar are mixed together. She put it in and the water started to fizz up and then it almost over flowed.


After that, it was morning tea. After morning tea, it was time to make our scones. It was cool because we were allowed to get into our own groups and then we it was time to go to Mrs Tofa and she will tell us what were meant to do.

Last of all it was time to take our Scones to the hall kitchen. When we took it to the hall kitchen we baked then for about 20 or 30 minutes till it came out. When it came out it tasted so great.
