4 and 3 x tables

This week I have been learning my 4 and 3 times tables.  We have been counting in 4's to help.  I have a new maths game called maths loops times tables.  The numbers and signs are on bubbles so that I can see them better.  It is excellent.

Bag Tiggy Tags

Please read each sentence in this post from bottom to top.

I felt so happy and I wanted to surprise Belinda.

It was easy enough.

Today I opened my schoolbag by myself or the first time.

We got a shoelace and we put some colourful beads onto the shoelace and tied the end in a knot.

Bag tiggy tags will help me to open my bag and close it by myself.

On Friday we decided to make bag tiggy tags to help me get ready for High School.

Clock Making (Rhymes)

Clock Making

Clock making was very fun.

First I had to choose what shape for the clock.

Second I had to cut a circle out on a machine.

Third I needed to drill a hole in the middle for the hands to go.

Fourth we had go and find the numbers and then stick them on with sticky shiny glue and push them down.

Fifth we coated the clock with a see through paint that made it shine.

Sixth we had to get some hands and the battery part for the clock and hunt for a battery to make it tick tock.

The boy in the striped Pyjamas bookmark.

I made a bookmark of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.  I chose the soldier picture because there were soldiers in the story.  The swing because Bruno fell off the swing.  The wire fence to keep the people in and the striped pyjamas picture because some of the men were wearing them.

The Spooky Forest

I wrote a narrative writing.
I learned how not to tell the reader exactly what happened but describe about the spooky forest.   How it felt, what I saw, what I was thinking, what I heard.

I am walking through the dark spooky forest. The trees are dark green and very scary.  It’s night time and I hear something.   I hear an owl tahooting. The branches of the trees are scraping scratching.  The wind is shooshing around the treetops.  Suddenly I hear footsteps  and the footsteps are coming my way.

I gasp.  I feel like I want to hide.  My heart is pumping very fast. I feel frightened of something.  I see a tree that’s not shaking and I decide to climb it as fast as a cheetah.  I hold on to the tree very tightly.  Im at the top and I’m spying to see what’s down there.

I feel terrified.  Then I see a Baxon and I hide amongst all the leaves.  I hope that he doesn’t see me.  But I can see him.  I see a whole lot of blue eyes. He has 8, and a long yellow tail that dragged behind him. I am now stuck in the tree as quiet as a mouse.  

I could climb down but he will see me and cook me, I could move a little bit, but he would see me, I could make a noise but then he would hear me.  The safe thing to do is ring somebody for help. I quietly get my phone out.  I push the phone buttons 9 1 7 6. I hear the Baxon catcher on the phone.  I whisper “Please get rid of the Baxon, I am in the dark forest, in a tree please help me.”

“Ill bring a sharp red cage to trap this scary Baxon” said the Baxon catcher.

I wait in this tree until the Baxon catcher arrives.  The Baxon is looking around for a toy to play with.  

The Baxon catcher arrives in a green truck.  I see a sharp red cage.  The Baxon comes towards the green truck he sees the Baxon catcher and the Baxon thinks that the red sharp cage is his toy.  He tries to play with it but CRACK the red sharp cage falls on top of him and traps him inside.

The Baxon catcher sneaks up and carries it to his green truck.

I am safe.  I climb down at last.  I feel happy.  I find my way out of the forest by a sign.  I’m happy to be safe from the Baxon.Maybe next time I won’t walk into a dark spooky forest, lucky to have my phone in my pocket.  

PASSION PROJECT

Subtracting with borrowing

SUBTRACTION USING BORROWING

We start from the 1’s column.

So, 2 - 3, but we can’t do it.  

So we need to borrow from our neighbor.

Cross him out, the 3.

So we make the 3 a 2.

Then the 2 is a 12.

Then we do 12 - 3.

So 3 to get to 10 is 7

10 to get to 12 is 2

So 7 + 2 is 9

So 12 - 3 is 9

2 - 1 is 1

So our answer is 19

BORROW & PAYBACK

We start in the 1’s column.

So 2 - 3, can’t do that, so we need to make this 2 a 12 and then we pay it back straight away downstairs to our neighbor.

12 - 3 is 9.

Then it’s not 11, it’s 3 - 1 - 1.

Which is 1.

So the answer is 19.

Now I have 2 different ways of doing these take away problems and I can choose any way I like.You might find this pretty easy-

Good luck with your questions.

Didgeri doo Poem

Nonsense Poem

1. First we had to think of 3 different animals.
2. We had to put them in order.
3. We had to think of some verbs or doing words starting with the letter that the animal starts with.
4. We had to think of some words that rhymed with ‘doo’. Like poo, shoe, achoo, you, blue, loo, who, flu.
5. Then we had to put it all together and to make sure that it makes sense in a poem.
6. We had to use imagination and alliteration.  Alliteration means the starting letter is the same.

This is my nonsense Poem

Dogs

Dig like diggers,

Cats can catch the flu,

Goldfish grumble like grandpas,

But what does a didgeri doo?

Cows can not carry huge cars,

Pigs ponder playing in poo,

Foxes fart on flowers,

But what does a didgeri doo?

Elephants eat rainbow eggs,

Tigers take treasure and say boo,

Lions lie down like ladies,

But what does a didgeri,

What does a didgeri,

What does a didgeri doo?

Kayaks By Royden Giles

BY  ROYDEN GILES

Why do kayaks wobble?

There are lots of reasons why kayaks wobble.  

Getting In

Kayaks have a round bottom which makes them unstable.

Always stand in the middle when you get in.

Sitting

Sit up tall and put your feet evenly in the kayak.  If your feet are uneven, you could wobble in.

On The Water

Try not to lean over side to side.

If you wobble, put the oar out like an arm.

In the waves

If a wave comes, lean towards the wave.  

Use your abs to help stop you wobbling.

Kayaks wobble because

1. Round bottom
2. Feet uneven
3. Lean to one side
4. Waves
5. If you don’t use your abs

We can use co-ordinates to find things on a map and play battle ships.

Cooking at Tech

Cooking

On Wednesdays it is tech day and I cook food and sometimes we bring the food back to school.

This picture is me eating rice. I loved it, even though I didn’t finish it, because of the taste.

.

When you cook you need to wear an apron.  After we’ve eaten, we tidy up and do the dishes.

At tech I have learnt that cooking can get a bit messy so you wear an apron.  When you cook food on the stove you need to make sure that you don’t burn yourself because the stove is HOT!

Not everything is cooked on a stove, sometimes it’s cooked in the oven and the microwave.  

Sometimes we measure ingredients, because some ingredients are very heavy.

We always wash our hands before we cook and after we cook.

I enjoy cooking very much, but sometimes it’s hard to stand up for a long time.
