Find a fraction of a number

Today for Maths we have been learning about Fractions. We had to find the fraction of a number. eg. 3/7 of 35. It was very tricky but me and my friend Dylan helped each other and we managed to complete it. Here are some of the questions we had to figure out.

Maths-Directions and Coordinates

In Maths we have been learning about Directions and Coordinates. We have been using the vocabulary North, South, East, West. We had to make a Treasure hunt. Can you follow our instructions to find the treasure?

Broken: Rock, Paper, Scissors

In writing we have been writing about one of the characters in the story/movie Broken. It's about three people a fairy who is paper, a golem who is rock and a metal person who is scissors. I chose scissors because I like how they are so useful. The hard part was the writing but the easy part was making this blog post.

The dawn came I jumped and went for a creepy walk. I was walking chopping down trees and chopping everything in my path. Once I chopped at least sixteen trees I saw a fairy, it was paper! I walked fast and fast after her but out of nowhere rock rolled from the mountain. He tried to make her come with him to get away from my but she didn’t budge. By then I was half why to them he grabbed her hand and yanked her but he immediately let go because paper bets rock so he whispered to her,
 “Come on, he's going to get you.” so she ran with him.  I was starting to get more angry so I sliced and diced everything and anything. They ran all the way through the forest but they came to a stop because there was a huge mountain in front of them. They were not thinking that I was right behind them, dragging my sword along the ground. I was right behind two trees I got my fingers and put them on two sides of a flower and I snipped it off and sliced the two trees what I was hiding behind and walked towards the two. Paper looked at me for a second I thought she was going to give up but she flew at like a fighter jet but I sliced her wings in half and paper crashed to the ground and rock ran over to see if she was okay. I tried to chop rock but he was too hard he got really angry so he tried to punch me two times I dodged both so he jumped up, up into the air and crushed me into a metal pancake lying on the floor. And that was the end of the life of me but it’s not over…

My Pepeha

For the term in Maori we have been making a Pepeha. It has been fun making ours because we got to make or take pictures of our family. The hard part was probable finding the photos but the easy was writing everything. The pepeha was a little easy because I finished quickly well not that quick because I needed to find the photos.

The Seven Stars of Matariki-Maths

Today in Maths we looked at a photo if the 7 stars of Matariki. We talked about polygons. Polygons are shapes. We had to use the position of the stars to create different shapes. The most simple shape I made was a triangle. The most complex or difficult polygon I made was my 7 one.
