Hey guys! Welcome back to another blog.

In this blog, it will be about maths. Me and my friend worked on a google drawing/poster about addition and subtraction and we put our follow-up on there too. Bye! Question: Do you like Addition and Subtraction?

S h a p e s

Heyyo guys!

For maths this week, my goal was "Identify and sort 2D and 3D shapes into classes. Define the properties of the shapes and justify the decisions made." I filled out a google drawing, put the shapes in the correct boxes and tried to find other how many sides, faces and figured out whether its a platonic solid and other stuff like that.

Heyyo guys!

For Reading this week, my goal was "Independently predict, interpret and analyse text, 'reading between the lines' to gain deeper meaning." I read a book named Fever. It's about a girl named Carly who goes camping at a place that was once a sanatorium. I made a slide with my friend Sophie who was doing the same thing as me. Here is the link to the slide.

Simple, Complex, Compound?!

Heyyo!

For writing this week, our goal was "Use a variety of sentence structures, beginnings and lengths to give effect." Our create task was to find a narrative story that we did last last week and use it for our create task, we picked out some sentences and read if they were simple, complex or compound. Then we looked at the sentence to see if the 1st word of the sentence was a subject, adverb, adjective or a preposition. 

Making Connections

Heyyo! :)

For reading this week, we did making connections from 2 texts we read. The goal was "Making connections - use prior knowledge to connect to the text. Make connections between texts and own life experiences, using more sophisticated texts." 

Rounding and Compensating

Heyyo! :)

This week for Maths, I did Rounding and Compensating. My goal was "Use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers & decimals - Rounding and Compensation." I solved 3 multiplication problems and 3 division problems.

W r i t i n g T 2 W 5

Heyyo guys!

In this blog, it will be about my writing in Term 2, Week 5. My goal was; Use questions to challenge the text, question the author, establish the authenticity of the text and state opinions. I had to write a short story including only a limited amount of words so it was pretty hard to write. My story is about these two bestfriends, they decide to challenge themselves by going inside a creaky, old and pretty burnt house that hasn't been touched for a very long time. Nobody dared to take the house down as they thought it would give them a curse. My story is called Mirror of Dreams.

This blog will be about my reading create task for week 9. My reading goal was; Visualise using all of the senses, and talk about how this enriches meaning. My create task was that we had to draw what we visualised when we read a line from a story. The line from a story that I picked was; The trees were still dripping from their soaking the previous night and the ground underfoot was soft pale mud, with fresh footprints.

M a t h s T 2 W 4

Heyya guys! Welcome back to another blog.

My goal for maths T2 W4 was; use more than one way to find a theoretical probability, make sensible statements about information with reference to supporting evidence. My create task was that I added things I would do during quarantine on a website with a wheel then I spun it a few times and wrote things down on a google drawing, then I made a few statements. 

P o e m

During quarantine, for online class, I made a poem. 

My poem is a love poem so it's REALLY cringe. For our Writing workshop in week 4, we had to write a poem about something. My Writing goal was; selects words or phrases to enhance meaning and/or mood confidently shape ideas for effect. I used some websites to help me with rhyming. 

T e r m 2 W e e k 8

Heyyo guys! Welcome back to another blog.

In this blog, it will be about my week, aka week 8.
This week, the Kaupeka hub has separated into our 3 different homebases.
We still worked on Reading, Writing and Maths. For reading, we had different tasks that we could do. I did a Book Cover, a Wanted Poster and a Book Review for my tasks. For Writing, we had to make a plan and write a short story. My short story is about a fox getting food for his family for the winter but he gets lost and he has to find his way home and his parents. For Maths, we could choose different goals. Beginner, Step up and Advanced. I have already finished the Beginner goal a while ago so I had to do the Step up one.
 

Reading

For Reading, my Wanted Poster was about Green Eggs and Ham and about the character, Sam I am. My Book Cover was about a book called Tragic Theaters and I made the book cover about a girl onstage wearing a haunted jacket. My Book Review was about both of them. My goal for reading was "select from a wide range of genre when reading independently." 
Reading Book Review

Writing

I've changed up my story a bit but I've still stuck with the plan. 
Autumn's Cold Breeze, Story Plot Plan


Maths

The Step up goal was: Use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers and decimals. When I started doing the maths, at first, I was getting quite confused. But when I understood it, I did maths really maths.
