Athletics day tomorrow

Tomorrow is athletics,
I feel nervous about the running  because in 200 metres  I have won it for the last 2 years I don't
feel so confident that I am going to win .
I would like to win 200 metres again my favourite is running.

Time

We have been doing time . I have learn't that 12,3,6 and 9 have special meanings.  The 12 means o'clock,the three means quarter past,the 6 means half past and the 9 means quarter to.

Athletics Practice

My favourite part of athletics was 200 hundred metres because I am great at running and better at longer distance . I learn't that a way to find out which foot goes in front you stand on your tippy toes and fall over what ever foot you land on is the foot that goes in front.

Maths

We have done some questions here is one

635 + 498 = 1133

635 +500= 1135      1135-2= 1133


The strategy I used was tidy hundreds.

Healthy Pyramid

maths

This is one of the question we did in maths time.

171 - 24 =147
because 171 - 20 =51 51 - 1= 50-3= 147 

Long Jump

This week we have been doing long jump. To do long jump you need to run up to the mat and jump, use your arms for momentum . You  need to push off one foot and you land on two feet. When you land you need to try not to fall over or fall forwards. You need to stay in there for three seconds.

My writing reflection

Maths

For maths I have been  subtracting using the strategy tidy tens. Here is an example;

The question is
 72 -19=53 because
72-20= 52  52+1=53

Also I have been learning  tens and hundreds in numbers

Here is an example :
How many tens are in 1263
There are 126 tens and 12 hundreds .

My Mask Reflection

Last week we had our assembly it was based on masks. I created a mask  that represented me. I  had a base colour of a lions skin. I did  two stripes of red and blue because my favourite soccer team is Barcelona .In the middle there are soccer balls because I am passionate about soccer. I put a lightsaber on because I like star wars. I found doing the soccer balls the hardest. Next time I would do my favourite colour.

Maori Phase of the week

Today me and Kaspar created a puppetpals  about the  Maori phase of the week.

Making crystals

Yesterday we made sugar solution, you make sugar solution out of sugar and hot water. Next we got a cup and got a stick and  tied a piece our string to it. Then you put the sugar solution  in the cup till half way.
Last of all you put it on the window sill to get sunlight.

My predictions are  that the water will evaporate and the crystals will grow and stick to the string. 

My explain everything

Waitomo Caves

Waitomo Caves

Yesterday the middle team and the parents went on a bus to the the Waitomo Caves to learn about  who discovered the Waitomo Caves and what was in there.

When we got down to the bottom we sang a song to Brandon and Anthony.Next the guide showed us the stalactites and stalagmites. Then we went down some stairs and down the stairs were...GLOW WORMS!!! I looked at the gloworms I could see there strings hanging. The gloworm looked like a light.Next we went in the boat. After the boat we had morning tea and went in the museum in the museum. There were some fun activities and also some facts after the museum we went in a room  a guy name Ric taught us some facts. The scientific name for a gloworm is  a Archana Luminosa.

The big bad house 

When the three little pigs grew up, they decided to move into a house together. The first wall of their new house was hay, the next sticks, and the other wall bricks. They built a house that was big and it had security systems that captured the bad intruders and dropped them into a pot of boiling water. Then they each made their own families and moved out, leaving the house deserted.Then the big bad wolf came and took there house and made it as evil as he wanted. If anyone came near he would eat them. but the 3 little pigs had a plan. They would turn the security off and would go inside and beat the wolf up and put the wolf in the pot of water and get the house back to normal. They did what they had to do so now they have moved into the house with their families again.
