Friendship Poem (2016)

Friendship poem! 

Oh what delight it is

To have such a loyal friend like you

For giving me the power
In the special way you do.

You lift my spirits
When I'm felling down 
And putting a smile on my dile
So I don't have to wear a frown.

Butterfly Frendship Poem! 28.10.2016

Butterfly Frendship Poem!

Have you ever admired a butterfly

There glamour and grace,

The kind that squat amongst the peach flowers

Looking for a peaceful place.

They flutter through the sky 

The scorching sun against there delicate wings,

Far more dainty than any fly.

I watch them as they hover

And wonder how it could be

That whenever I see these beautiful creatures

Your face comes to me.

You are my best friend

You are always there for me and it never depends.

Week 9 Maths Reflection!

What? Simplifying fractions

Why? So when your adding fractions together there smaller numbers to work with 

How? You find the common Factor (a number that can go into the fraction)EX. 20/24 the common factor is 4 because 20 divided by 4 =5 and 24 divided by 4 =6   

=5/6

Inquiry Reflection Term 2 2016

Inquiry Reflection!

This term In inquiry we have been doing lots of learning about Science - Planet Earth and Beyond. My question is: What impact does a tornado have on planet Earth and Jupiter? The answer to my question is easy really, a tornado wrecks heaps more on planet earth than on Jupiter because Earth has heaps of man built stuff where's jupiter just has sand, rocks, and cliffs to destroy.

I have made a model of a tornado. I started off with a large nappy box, then I painted a landscape inside the box, later I added items like houses , horses, trees, and more. My model  hopefully shows the answer to my question because it has a line down the, one side is Wrecked and one side isn’t.I enjoyed making the tornado but didn't really enjoy painting the inside.

I liked doing the rotations and it’s the kind of thing I’d like to do again.

Week 7's Reflection! 2016

                                 Divisible Numbers!

What?This week we have been learning the divisibility rule for 3.

Why?Because it is an easy strategy to use on any sized number.

How?It is actually really easy, so say you have the number 9174 you plus all the numbers together so 9+1+7+4=21.Is 21 one of the 3 time tables (yes).
