Tech

For the first six days of every term, not including Wednesdays, my class goes to Hutt Intermediate to do technology. Last term, I did cooking and this term, I did sewing. When I was doing sewing this term, I made a scarf and I barely finished it in the time we had. When I did cooking last term, we made something different every day. I enjoyed making chocolate pudding the most. Both things were a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to doing hard tech next term.

My maths focus

For maths at the moment, I've been focussing on multiplication and division. I've been learning and revising strategies to make equations easier to solve. These strategies are mostly things like place value partitioning (PVP), doubling and halving, tripling and thirding, etc. Lots of the multiplying and dividing I'm doing includes decimals.

Inquiry Writing

The Croods

On Easter Saturday, I went with my family to see a movie called The Croods. Here is a review of the movie.

THE CROODS

This movie is about a family of cavemen/cave women called the Croods. They are the only cave people left because all of their neighbours were killed by vicous animals. They meet a man who predicts that "the end" is coming and they have to find new land.

I found this movie to be mostly enjoyable, however, I found some parts to be quite annoying in some ways. It was also very funny in some parts. 

I give this movie a rating of:

                                       

                                                   7/10

My Goals 2013!

Writing: My writing goal is to use more interesting adjectives and to have more ideas instead of repeating one idea several times.

Reading: My reading goal is to read for full understanding and be able to use the information presented.

Maths: My maths goal is to work out the simplest fraction and to convert to percentages higher than 100%.

My Buddy!

This is a photo of me, Ella and our buddy, George (7). Here is some information about George: his favourite subject is writing, he has no hobbies, he plays rugby, touch and tennis but he's also interested in soccer. George doesn't know what his favourite movie is and has lots of favourite songs. His siblings are Louis and Lola who are both younger than him.
