Quality Blog Commet

As part of writing, we were learning how to write a quality blog comments for students. This is my first comment for Room 5 Zahn, Sankyaw, My second comment for Room 5 Tim, and the last one comment that I did for Point England School Room 11. This kind of activity helps me to understand when you have written your comment you have read through twice and more than twice to find a mistakes in your own work.

Why do you think it is important to learnt maths in school?

This is my presentation about why do you think it is is important to learn maths in school. We used the ruler as our characters to make it more interesting. I collaborated on this presentation with one of my classmates, Manu. We think that this is a very cool way of telling people why Maths is important at school.

Writing in maths - San Tat

What is problem solving? Does it only happen in Maths?

Problem solving is when you are finding out numbers or an answer. When you are finding out an answer you have to have a strategy, so that you can explain it. When you are solving a problem you are explaining a strategy and finding out the answer. You need to have a strategy before you find out an answer. When you are solving a problem it doesn't only happen in maths it also happens in school, shops, work and sometimes at home.

Today for writing we had a 20 minutes maths quick write, We did this to give a clear explanation about problem solving. This helped us have a proper understanding of how to write a paragraph about problem solving. This can also help us to develop our knowledge in maths.

Flag Vote Results

Today we had a school vote based on which flag we would want the flag to be changed to. Every student in our school had a chance to choose which flag they wanted. Mr. Johnston shared the results with us today. I voted for the red and blue fern flag because it is very eye catching and I love the design.

Richie McCaw By San Tat

This is my Collage for my CARE awards, I have shown in these photos what PBS is like, when we did science at Tamaki College, Jaffa Roll Experiment and Things we normally do here in PBS. 

Critical friend and Toolbox - San Tat

Today we had to partner up with a critical friend so they can help finding mystic in our writing sample. We had to use the toolbox to help us find what stage we are on and what we need to try next time. I find out that in my writing I had only use one or twice adjectives and I need to use more adjectives.  

Science

Today the year 7 and 8 went down to tamaki college for tech, after tech we had an science session we had to learn about science such as physical world and many more. Our teacher miss bunts gave us a really hard challenge I didn't understand what we were doing but it was really fun. 

Guy Fawkes DLO

This is my DLO about Guy Fawkes that I did with Thomas, Zahn and Manu. We chose to focus on one of the plotter's point of view and how they would have felt when they were running from the king.

Football Math

This is a screen shot of a game i played called Football math. I got up to level 5 and scored 188. This game help me learn my decimals and place value.

San Tat - DARE DLO

This is a DLO that shows smokes and achole are bad for you and many other things. We had to make this because we had to put all our information about what we know about our DARE Programe.

Some of these facts we learnt are true and if you did not know smokes contain very bad things EG: Rat poison.

7 timetable - San Tat

This is my maths for the week. Our maths for this week was to focus on our seven times tables. The person who helped me with this activity was my dad. I like working with my dad because he tell me new skill to solve a problem.

Music

For music room 5 learnt how to play the xylophones. The music we learnt was When the Saints go marching in. I liked this activity but it was kind of hard.

Wheelchair Rugby - San Tat

This  is my DLO that I did with Manu for reading we had to read a book about wheel chair rugby these are the information that we got.

5 W's- San Tat

This is my homework about the 5 W's. Room 5 has to make a homework about the 5W's, What, When, Who, Where, Why and I just put which because sometime we use it. I think this task was interesting because if I know all of the 5 w's then I would answer questions straight away and I would go up a level in Writing.
