Have you ever read holes?

Maths Week 8

 Hello Everyone,this week for maths I was partnered with Isabella, for maths this week our goal was: Solve problems with fractions, decimals proportions and ratios using a broad range of strategies. 

This week all we had to do was answer a few questions like -

The following statistic shows that only 65% of primary schools around the world have basic hand washing facilities for COVID-19 prevention. If we applied this statistic to 240 schools, how many would have access to basic hand washing facilities? 

Due to COVID-19 school closures kept 90% of all students out of school. If we apply this statistic to a random sample of 330 students, how many were kept out of school?

Can you answer these questions, whats your strategie?

Reading Workshop Week 8

 Hello everyone this week Im sharing my reading task. 

As usual we were reading our novels (Holes) This week we had to read up to chapter 36, Im at chapter 31, Next week we finish our Novels, So we have to be up to date but here is a picture of my task.  

Whats your thoughts on my blog? What book are you reading at the moment? 

Writing Blog Week 8

Hello Everyone this week for writing I made a infographic, A infographic is a a piece of information, from data a chart or a diagram. 

For our infographic we got to choose from the three sustainable goals, No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Quality education, Good Health and Well being.

I choose Zero Hunger just like my speech. I will be sharing my infographic bellow. 

Whats your thoughts on my infographic? 

How can I be a good maths mate?

 This week for my maths blog Im going to be talking about, how can I be a good maths mate? 

I think being a good maths mate is about letting you both contribute, and making sure you both do the work, and you agree with each other. So if I was with someone and I did all the work that wouldn't really be fear at all right? As aslo listening to others. As taking there opinion not just on your own. 

Whats being a good maths mate look like to you? 

Maths Week 5

This week for maths my goal was, Use multiplication and division strategies to compare fraction sizes with whole numbers.

(We are doing fractions)

For my Maths task we had to answer some questions ill be sharing one of mine.

1. One of the items that were donated were boxes of bottled water. A generous person donated a total 66 bottles. If each box contained 12 bottles, how many boxes did this person donate?

For this question I got 5 over 6 over 12

This strategy is hard to writing out so I will be sharing a picture of my work in my book. 

Thanks for listing? How can I make my blog better each day? 

Writing Week 5

 Hello Everyone 

Welcome back to another blog this week for writing we are finishing of writing our speech. 

I will be sharing my speech so far! (Please Ignore the spelling errors) 

At least 9 million people sadly die each year from starvation. 

Surprisingly 690 million people were undernourished last year with lack of food.

Children suffer each day from chronic hunger from just being at least five years old.

As In 2018 47 Million were affected by wasting. 

I wake up by eating breakfast, a full lunch for school, having dinner when I get home.

People in mainly Asia, Africa don't even get to have breakfast let alone dinner.

If this continues to happen 840 million people will go hungry by 2030.

As with the outbreak of COVID-19 more people have been affected with hunger

it has put around 130 Million people at risk of suffering hunger in 2020 as losing jobs

earning not as much money. 

Why are there so many hungry people? Poverty can impact on having no food and water,

along with the lack of money people are earning, makes their budget for grocery shopping

low and not enough to feed their family. Poverty means no money, no money means no food. 

Around every year sessions fall and women often go without food and men go out of the country

and search for food, and not return for 2 months.

Most women farm their land for several years just to feed their entire family. 

The goal here is to end hunger, to achieve food security and to improve nutrition as

2 billion people in the world don't have regular access to safe, nutritious food.

By 2030 people want to end all forms of hunger making sure everyone, especially children,

have healthy food to feed their bodies. You can help out by donating cans of food ,

helping people in the community that are suffering helping their family buy food.

Unsurprisingly, most people aren't doing that much to help Zero Hunger,

but one thing you can do is supporting local farmers and making sustainable food choices.

Here are some real world ways that people are making a difference in Zero hunger.

The community of World Vision is trying their best to Provide life saving food to

those who are impacted by conflict. The team has had emergency food bags for a long time.

They deliver food to the families that urgently need it more than others.

They also set up sustainable farming practices not just for a long time supply but also for food markets. 

Can we end hunger? 

Yes, I think we can if we all do something to help out even if it's little

it can still make some sort of change that the world needs.

The world needs at  least 7 Million dollars to 265 Million dollars per year if they want to end hunger.

One thing stopping hunger is drought, as a result of climate change has become one

of the most popular global causes, which affects food storage.

It causes crop failures and kills entire herds of livestock.

Dries up peoples farmland which makes it a struggle for poor communities

that have no other way to survive. We can also support food assistance programs,

they provide 20 more times food than food banks and food parties. 

My thought on this global problem is that no one should ever go through this disaster,

I can't imagine it, as we all need to realise how lucky we are,

that we have the resources to eat food everyday.

Thank you for reading my blog, please leave some feedback bellow! 

Whats you opinion on my speech? What do you know about Zero Hunger? 

Writing Week 4 Term 4

This week for writing we were continuing on working on our speech, for my speech im doing it on Zero Hunger. 

I am going to share my writing so far for my speech.  

At  least 9 million people sadly die each year from starvation.

Surprisingly 690 million people were undernourished last year with lack of food.

Children suffering each day from chronic hunger, from around being just 5 years old.

What are your thoughts on Zero Hunger?

 

Reading Week 4 Term 2

This week for reading we did Persuasive Writing, My goal was : Use questions to challenge the text, question the author, establish the authenticity of the text and state opinions. We had to get into pairs I was with Maia, we chose to reading the story "should kids eat junk food?" me and Maia chooses this book because it looked like it would be something good to debate for, we could also share what we learnt and what we knew. Me and Maia made a screencastify about how we agree and disagree for should, kids eat junk food?

Heres the screencastify!

Do you agree that kids should eat junk food, or disagree? 

Maths Week 4 T2

 Hello everyone, welcome back to another blog post, this week im talking about my maths, What the goal was, what I learnt ect. 

This week for maths my goal was : Use multiplication and division strategies to compare fraction sizes with whole numbers.

This week we were do fractions, I dont really like fractions but this time I quite enjoyed it. I got paired with Maia which was good because we are both pretty confident with this weeks maths task. We had to fill out the problem solving the first question was.

1. Florence had a party and organised to have pizzas delivered to her house, she specifically asked the restaurant to cut the pizzas into eighths. She counted that she had 36 pieces. How many pizzas did Florence purchase?

For this question me and Maia got 4/4 8th.

Jermaine bought a whole bunch of nerd ropes to share with his mates. He cut each rope into sixths, he ended up with 41 pieces. How many ropes did he buy?

For the second question me and Maia got 5/6 6th

Thanks for listening and letting me share a few of my maths questions!

Do you agree with me with some of these answers or disagree?

Cybersmart W3

This week in Cybersmart we made a Comic strip, I made it with Neila and Sienna, we were replying to mean comments.

Here is a ours. 

What did you do for Cybersmart? 

Writing T3 W3

This week for writing we were working on persuasive writing, and taking about the shapes and how we are going to shape our writing, and we are also working on Rhetorical Questions for our speeches. 

We also had to find some information for our speeches we could you from, Poverty,No Hunger, Health and well-being, quality education. I picked the goal No hunger.  We also had to make a doc, find some facts about our Goal (Mine No Hunger) 

Here are some facts about Zero Hunger -

-       That's 795 million people on the planet who suffer from chronic hunger.

-One in four of the world’s children suffer stunted growth. In developing countries the proportion can rise to one in three.

-  Every year, 3.1 million children (8,500 children per day) die due to poor nutrition.

- In 2011, it was determined that this rise in hunger was due to a 7 percent rise in the cost of food. So, the 2.6 percent rise in income did not help most families

Did you learn anything in this blog post?

Reading Week 3

Ki ora everyone. This week Im talking about Reading Create task!!! 

This week for reading we read a book about Robots, then we had to make a Video/Screencastify about our opinion on robots and to awnser a few questions.

This weeks goal is: Understand the purposes for writing and how to achieve those purposes

Select and explore significant ideas, developing main points with specific detail.

Here is the writing of our work !

Opinion . We think that robots could help with a few good things maybe but we don't want them to take over the world. And have like Robot taking over and like having robots as a dentist or a hairdresser would just be weird and it could help in some ways like with elderly.  

What we already know for sure on this topic?

1. I know that just by looking at the book it was about robots and humans.

2. I know that the robot could be taking the human world over that makes things easier and faster. 

What do we think I know on this topic? 

1.  That the robot could be much more intelligent than humans and it could be really bad for our environment. 

2. Maybe the human could get really annoyed. What if they don't have feelings because if you try talking to them about your life they probably would not understand. 

Why do we think we should not have them??  

In my defence I really don't understand why we need them because they do everything for you like your chores, do your bills but maybe something goes wrong and you have to give more money to the bank or they do your chores the opposite of what you are supposed to do. But maybe some people think it is good to have a robot, but I think we don't need them because it makes you lazy. 

Why do we think we needed robots?? 

I think that we need robots for things that are important sometimes in life like helping the old people and the people that are struggling and more. But the robots are really helpful if you need chores and bills but sometimes things can go wrong so I don't really agree but here was my way of agreeing about robots. 

Thanks for listing. Whats your thought on Robots?  

Maths Week 2

Ki ora, everyone. 

This weeks maths blog is based on my maths problem solving for the week. This week for Problem solving it was on Ratios.

The first question is Using the image above, what is the ratio between the pedal gear and sprocket? If you were to turn the crank 9 full rotations how many revolutions would the wheel do?

I was partners with Maia and we got, 27, all we did was times 3x9=27

Second question, If one rotation of the pedal gear moves the bike 150cm, how far will the bike travel around the track if you did 5 full rotations of the pedal gear.

Me and Maia got 750cm by doing 150x8=750

Third question is There are currently three big tree stumps sitting in the way of where the bike track will go the stump removal company have quoted $253 to get the three tree stumps removed.they are currently running a special of 20% off stump removal for the next week. If we book in during this time.

Me and Maia got that they would save 50$, how? we did 25.3 is 10% and we are trying to get to tweenty we need to double it so double 25.3 it is 50.6

Thanks for listing.

Would you figure these questions out in any different way?

Writing week 2

Hey everyone, today Im basing this blog on my writing task. 

This week for writing we had to describe a old lady, not just any old lady she was quite different looking. After describeing the old lady we had to write a small story describe her, mine will be down bellow. 

Without warning.. a small fluffy dog ran past the old lady as her eyes widened. Her glasses fell off, she dropped her purse and her old brown walking stick too. The old lady stood up slowly as a turtle ran. But the old lady still had her welcoming friendly smile. 

Notice how there was a adverbial phrase at the start? Without Warning ..... For our create task we had to make a random little story about the old lady, here's mine down bellow.

 The old lady shaked and shivered to the front door to answer to three little children standing there with a smile on there face. she mumbiles

“Hello dear, how can I help you three lovely children” 

“Hi there we're just wondering if you have any sugar, we're baking a cake and we don't have any at home”

“of course children follow me”

The children slammed the door behind the them, the old lady slowly walked to her kitchen, she reached over to the copard as she just got the handle, the door squeaked, he grabbed the sugar BUT THEN! The sugar poured all over her dirty old tiles, her face shined as the grandma said 

“Oh no, mind giving me a hand” 

“of course, but we cant be two long mum will get worried”

 The children helped the grandma, as they went home with a great big smile on their face. 

Have you ever write a story like this?

Week 1 Maths

Hi everyone today Ill be sharing my maths for the week

This week we had got put into groups since we had no time for timetabling. 

 For our maths this week we didn't have goals, so we all did a hub problem solving, our problem solving we based it on our back field along with the bike track that is getting built.  

Also this maths was based on Area and Perimeter. 

My partner for maths was Grace, I think we worked really well completing all the questions that we needed to do for maths this week even though we had some struggles we focusing and completed it. 

One of the questions were what was the Perimeter and Area of the back field with and without the hall. 

DO you enjoy doing Perimeter and Area? 

Reading W11 T2

This week for reading we were in homebasses again.

My goal for the week is: Independently predict, interpret and analyse text, 'reading between the lines' to gain deeper meaning.

For my task/create task was to watch some videos, and chose a book to read which prefers to our level. We also had to complete a template of some sentences and what we predict and infer.

Here is my create task!

Do you enjoy predicting?
