Area - Week 6

On May 25th we did some maths about Area with our seats. You are probably thinking - What? Area With Our Seats!
We learnt about Rows and Columns. Rows are across and Column are Parallels.  But Mrs Miller said it could go like this Row - Right Across and Column - Come on down.   
We did it like this: we would get our class and Mrs Miller would say make 5 rows and 6 columns. 
So my class would do 5 rows and 6 columns and then we would do the maths which would be 5 x 6 = 30 and we kept doing that for about 30 minutes (It was fun) Mrs Miller made it fun but we were still learning.  It was sort of tricky but once you got the hang of it, you got the hang of it, it was sort of easy.  Area helps builders with building  houses making a pool and all sorts of things.

The Summarising Strategy - Week 4

Key words!

Key words help you make up a great sentence.

You choose a Key word from a book and then make a sentence or  all what you know about the Key word.

You have to write in your own words or you have just plagiarised.

Here is an example

Key words - Birds and Extinct

Sentence -  NZ have lots of amazing BIRDS and now they are all EXTINCT.

Match Sticks Week 3

On the 30th of April we did some maths and it was about Match Sticks, we had to get 50 Match Sticks and make our name.  We could choose that we could do our name 1 metre long or 20 cm tall.  I chose 1 metre long because I wondered if one metre long would be easier.
Once I got my match sticks, I went to my table and made 1 metre and then I made my R, and then I made it too big and and then I shortened it and then it was good.  After that I made my U and it was perfect how I made it.  After I made my u I done my B and it was way too big in the length and then I took a match stick off and it looked good. My last letter was Y, finally I had done it and I still had space at the end.  So I asked Mrs Miller if I could put an L in because I'm Ruby.L, and Mrs Miller said "Yes you can".  So I went back to my name and did an L and then I was done.
The learning in the activity was about measuring accurately, you have to make sure that your ruler is straight that you have a good starting point and a good finishing point. The number learning in the activity was you had to count up how many yellows. Count up how many purple, green and red. Then this is the learning, say that there were 5 yellow Match Sticks and on the page it said that the yellow cost $10. This is the learning 10 x 5 = $50 or 5 x 10 =.$50.

Here is a picture of my Match Sticks.

Deadly Monster - Week 2

One day when my class was writing on our computers, out of nowhere came a big deadly monster.  
I ran up to Mrs Miller and said, ”There is a big scary monster outside the window”. 
Mrs Miller said back,“There’s no such thing as a monster” 
Then I said, "Look outside” and then Mrs Miller saw the monster. 
“OMG” said Mrs Miller. 
I thought in my head, we’ll be fine because we are in a classroom and then the monster put its hand in the window and the glass broke. 
“Ahhhhhhhhh” I shouted.  
Then Mrs Miller fainted, and my class screamed, even the boys because we didn't have help. After Mrs Miller fainted, the monster put his face through the window and took Mrs Miller and ate her.  When the monster ate Mrs Miller it took all the boys and Bradley said, "I’m too pretty to die” and the monster ate them in one gulp and burped in the girls faces and the girls screamed really loud.

After the monster burped in the girls faces,  the monster picked up Kady, Kalae, Talya, Jasmine, Maiya and Ruby.H.
The deadly monster said, "I’m going to eat you up!” 
Ruby.H shouted in a mean way, "No you’re not!” and then kicked the monster and the monster screamed and let go all the girls. He burped up Mrs Miller but didn't burp up the boys. 
“Ha ha ha” the girls said to the boys.
The boys heard and said, "O golly gosh”.

Rotorua - Week 1

“Yeah day 2” I said as I was rubbing my eyes after a long day.  

“I’m staying in my bed” I say.  There we are playing on our i pods and phones. 10 minutes later we’re still playing in our PJs and so is mum and dad. 

5 minutes later I was reading a book.  One hour later we’re in the car going out to do some shopping and some fun things.  
First we were heading to the agrodome.

We went on the shweep and that’s when you race each other on a bike around this loop but you aren't on a bike, you were in this capsule with pedals and gears.  Sophia ‘s time was one minute and 45 seconds and my time was one minute and 46 seconds. Sophia bet me by a second.

Next we did the big swing and you're in these sleeping bags, you go up about 40m in the sky. When you're 40m up in the air, someone will pull a yellow rope and then SWING! A way you go swinging in the sky, I was screaming my lungs out.

After that, we did the Free Fall Xtreme and its like you're flying because you lay down on this square mat and you have this suit on, when you fall on the mat you blow up and the wind is so powerful that you can see your cheekbones and my cheeks are so chubby. Someone is holding your legs so you don’t float away and a man is saying what to do.

After that we went to the bike tracks and there were lots of bumps and I fell off my bike. Then we went up to grade 3 (intermediate) and it was down a mountain of woods and there’s this track that you can go on (around the mountain of woods) and when I went down it I got a sore bottom. After that we did the Dipper and it’s a smaller version of grade 3. When we were at the finish we washed our bikes.

After that we went back to our cabin to get ready for a spa. When we were in the spa we saw a teapot, and then when we were having lots of fun when we looked up and there was a kind of pink smoke covering all the stars. 

After we had a swim we went to bed.

Pirate Ship

This is the Pirate ship from splash planet, it got burnt down by these silly boys. It is sad because it was made in 1967 and now it's 2015.  My mum was walking the dogs down the park at six o’clock like usual and she saw a big ball of smoke in the sky and then she saw fire.

She went around this walk that we always do and she thought that the jungle jeeps were on fire but the pirate ship caught on fire. They cut a hole in the fence and went in and then put it on fire. This man saw four boys running away from it and laughing and he told my mum.  Once my mum told me I felt like crying because it was made before I was born, it was closed all the time because it was direlect and the owners at Splash Planet thought it might break.  I think that the canoes were underneath so they probably caught on fire is well.

On Monday during Easter, I went to Henrietta's birthday party and we went to Splash Planet and when we went on the train we went past the pirate ship and it made me feel sad because all you see is burnt wood and then you make a connection that silly boys put it on fire.
