What I Have Learnt This Week

Subtracting using place value

This week I learnt how to subtract using place value. At first I wasn't sure how to subtract using place value, then Mr. A called some of us down to a teacher workshop ( a teacher workshop is when the teacher calls us down to the mat so we can learn about a specific goal we need to work on ) and our learning goal was W.A.L.T  ( we are learning to ) subtract using place value. Mr. A then gave us a number question that we had to guess how to use place value in subtraction, after one minuet of guessing Mr. A told us how to solve it.

How To Subtract Using Place Value

Say you had the question 256 - 123 = 133
First you would go 256 - 120 = 136. Then you would do 136 - 3 = 133 so then 133 is you answer.

Here is one for you to solve using the place value in subtraction.
427 - 293 =

Comment your answer.

The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk

Going from white to a disgusting green.Huff HUff HUFf HUFF, hulks bones popping in and out of the sockets getting bigger and bigger. A big, mean, green incredible fighting machine, growling and standing in the boxing arena. Hulk punches his opponent in the face, everyone flees in fear.

ROOOAAARRR hulk howls at the top of his lungs. Vanes straining, popping out everywhere. Sweating like a demon hulks teeth grinding and fists clutching tight as a padlock. He starts shaking while his muscles are flexed and let's out another great big howl, ROOOAAARRR this time as loud as a tsunami. His face screws up like a piece of paper screwed up. The massive green monster feels like picking a building up and just chucking it away. “HULK SMASH!!!” Hulk smashes everything in his path.

Crash

“AHHHH!” I yell as I fly over my handlebars. Slipping and sliding down the muddy grass I scream “Ouch! Ahhh!” blood rushing down my arms and legs. Skin peeled while stinging.

What I Learnt This Week

This week I learnt how to draw a plan view. A plan view is when you draw a 3D model in 2D. Say you were making a cube model and wanted to draw it in plan view you would have to draw it in 2D.

Len Lye Center

We were walking down the street to meet a man named Chris, he welcomed us to the new Len Lye Center. The first thing that came to my mind about the tall metallic building was wow, this building set out is amazing.  As we entered the building I saw how high the building is I think the Len Lye Center is about 50 feet high.

My favourite thing about the art gallery is the universe, the universe is a big, shiny and metallic ring. The universe is controlled by electromagnets. What are electromagnets? You may be asking, electromagnets are magnets that only turn on when electricity goes through them. The universe has a balance platform with electromagnets along it so the universe moves. Why is the universe called the universe? The universe also has a ball attached to elastic and string at the wooden ball hits the universe and makes an empty sounding noise.

I think Len Lye's an arty creative man. Len Lye's art style is amazing, crazy, creative and different to most other art types.

Doodle For Google



Ben, Dragon Slayer

My piece of art shows that St George is still remembered by lots of people, he was very brave to slay the dragon in England. He is a man of bravery for what he has done for England. I have created Dragon Slayer for people to remember St George.

What I Learnt This Week

This week I have learnt how to use place value in multiplication. I was watching a video to help me to understand at first, then I moved on to some practice work. For E.G. 4 x 60 = 240
I know that 4 x 6 = 24 so then 4 x 60 is ten times 4 x 6 so then the answer must be ten times 24 so the answer is 240.

NYLD After The Trip


What did you think of NYLD 2015. Give your opinion and reasons why you hold these opinions (at least 4 sentences).

NYLD was really enjoyable, waking up at 5am to start a long bus journey. Getting out to go into the big theatre. Being introduced and a warm welcome by the hosts. Then the first speaker came out. All that I could hear was people yelling and clapping.


Who was your favourite speaker and why? (Describe in at least 4 sentences).

Jamie Mcdell - because she inspired me to go by my own look not someone else's look. Also she sang two songs along with everyone else singing. I think her message was to not be afraid of who you really are. Also don't be scared to dress how you dress.


What have you learnt about being a leader? (At least 4 sentences).

Help people when they are stuck. To take care of people and your learning. Manage your own behaviour. Don't be afraid of who you are.


How could you use this learning here at school? (At least 4 sentences)

By staying on task and keeping my head down. If someone is stuck and I know how to help them then I will help. If someone falls over in the playground help them back up and ask if they are ok. Dress how you want not how someone else wants you to.


Action points - something I am going to work on (a goal) from NYLD:

Changing the world and making it a better place




My favourite quotes were (remember to say who said them)

Chris Jupp - We can make the world a better place.

C.O.P.E. In class

The other day when I was doing a wafer cutting activity (we were learning to cut a shape into an equal pieces) at first it was simple cutting the circles and squares then Mr. Anderson gave us a harder shape a rectangle, that is when it got hard. Me and my class mate Jack.C were persisting and not giving up, we sat there for about 10 minutes trying to work out how to cut the rectangle. In the end we figured it out.

Infrencing

What is Infrencing?

Infrencing is when you pick the clues out of the text and put them together to help guess what happens next. For an example: Thicky and Nobby find an old discarded bike near the railway tracks. Nobby thinks the bike is rubbish; Thicky, however, can see "potential" and they hatch a plan: each rider puts twenty cents in a jar, and the person who dares to ride the bike to the bottom of the hill, wins the loot. Thinking themselves pretty clever, Thicky and Nobby think they have it all sewn up, but will there be a surprise? 

I inference that there is going to be a surprise.



  

Group Refection For W.I.T.


How did your group work together? (Did you cooperate, share the work, stay on task, persist when things got hard? Were you open-minded to each others’ ideas? How did you show empathy?)
We were working really good with our group mate for the first three weeks persisting thinking new ideas. And Working out things that got hard. And then we didn't work very well together and got split up. But when I was by myself working it made lots of things heaps more easy.


What were you pleased about in following the Te Ara Tika pathway to learn about first aid? (Think about each of the steps - what steps did you do well or made progress with?) We thought that the Te ara tika leaning sheet was good because it tells you what you need to make a wit and it shows you step by step how much prior knowledge you need, and helps with the task.


What skills in the Te Ara Tika pathway do you think you need to improve on and why?
I think I need to improve on my keywords because I forget my keywords sometimes. And also so I can expand my prior knowledge of words.


Now think about your google site. What are you really pleased about or had success with?
We’re really impressed that we learn't lots in this wit and I am happy of what I have done on my google site because I now know how to treat anaphylaxis and all the other. But there is some more info we need to add.


What do you think needs to be improved on your google site?
More info because we don’t have enough


Do you think your first aid google site does a good job of “effectively communicating” first aid skills? Why or why not? (Would you be happy with people using it to “Save a Mate”?
No because it does not have enough info.


What is one thing (skills, learning attitude) that each of you needs to improve on in our next W.I.T.? (Record each of your names with the thing to be improved)
Ben-keywords because I don’t use them very well.
Kaino-Prior Knowledge because I have a very bad memory so I need to work on that.

Learning

Today I will be talking about some of my learning that I have enjoyed over this term. First of all I have enjoyed writing and reading. What I enjoyed about learning in writing is getting into a zone where I just zone out into my own writing world. I like how in reading I get really into the book that I DO NOT want to stop and put the book down, But then…… Mr. A says to stop reading and switch to something else.

In reading I think I have improved a lot from last year because last year I couldn’t read words like torrential and anaphylaxis. I improved by asking for help and Mr. Anderson could help me. He helped me by teaching me new techniques to make long words easier. 1 wanted to improve on reading because I like reading.

Camp

Me and my class are going on camp. We are going to camp at Te Wera. I'm excited for camp because I will be doing all new activities that I have never done before. I'm not looking forward to some activities because they sound a little scary to me. Some activities we are doing archery, Eeling, kayaking, going on a waterside fun things like that.  I think once I try the activities that I haven't tried before I probably will enjoy them.

I'm feeling a little scared about camp because i'm going a long long way from home. I think we are going to camp so we can have new experiences and learn. Camp sounds Fun!
