Equivalent Fractions

My maths group have been learning what Equivalent Fractions are. They are what you call decimals, fractions and percentages. Read to find out what they are and how to use them. Leave a comment on what you learned.

My Bright, Fine Gold Questionnaire!

This is Kotuku, my reading groups work that we had to do this week. We had to answer some sentences on people from different countries about what it was like for them on the gold fields. We also had to write a little bit about gold. I found that gold is not 100% gold. About 1/4 of it is silver, copper and iron. It was fun learning about gold this week and I hope you find it fascinating.

My Jean Malfoy Sketch

This is the sketch that I did of Jean Malfoy, a person who fixed gold mining machinery. The speech bubble on the left says "Life was fine on the goldfields, it was quite fun actually," and the one on the right says "I came to NZ to fix the machinery on the goldfields." Please leave a comment!

Marshmallow Writing Challenge

This is the writing I did on our class challenge for making a tower out of 20 pieces of spaghetti, 1 meter of tape, 1 meter of string and a marshmallow. I hope you like it. Leave a comment!

My Awesome Ski Day!

This is me skiing down a powder bowl with hardly anyone who had gone in it. My family go skiing nearly every weekend and always have a great day. It was really soft in there. My mum and dad's friend, we call him D1 for short, took a couple of photos of me. It was one of the best days so far this season! Here are the photos.

Wide Reading Response Book Reports

These are my book reports that we had to write down about the book that we read. I have done lots and I hope you like them. What we had to do is read books over the last couple of weeks and then put them down on a doc. We had to say our favorite part and recommend it to a certain age group as well.

Symmetrical Designs

This is my maths work that I did for this week. It is about symmetry. We had to write and show about what symmetry is and some of the different types of symmetry. I choose Reflection, Rotation and Slide. I hope you like it.

Sherman The Inventor Writing

This last couple of weeks Room 1 has been doing some writing Called "Sherman, The Inventor". I really liked this writing because you had to make up a story about and inventor called Sherman and we could make it as imaginary as we want. We had to put in paragraphs because some people did not know how to use them and also lots of punctuation. I hope you like my Writing!
