Maths in 2020 Term 3

 This time my goal was Use a broad range of mental strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems.

The strategies were Equal adjustment, Place Value and Reversibility .

My favourite was probably Place value because it was the easiest for me.

A place value question!

552+231=?

All you need to do is add the hundreds together.

500+200=700

And then add the tens together

50+30=80

And then add the ones together!

2+1=3

So the answer is 783!

Did you learn anything new?

My Turangawaewae

 This Week for Literacy we had to write a show not tell descriptive text. Show not tell means you can't tell the reader directly what you are talking about I described wheat as Yellow scratchy forage as it describes what I'm talking about but it doesn't mention the word hay.

Here is a screenshot of my writing doc.

Can you guess what my Turangawaewae was?!

Statistical Investigation/Maths Wk 8

 This week we were learning how do a statistical investigation and collect data! I chose the question "what is your favourite dog breed" out of a Labrador Retriever, Chihuahua, Border Collie, Beagle and a Golden Retriever!

                          

                                                      This is my slide I hope you enjoy!

Reading + Sweet Home 3d

 This week for Reading we had to create a google drawing about a facility you would like to add to New Zealand! It had to be related to Turangawaewae and NZ so I decided, we didn't have an agility centre (for dogs) in NZ so why not make one (obviously this probably won't happen) I decided that the relation to NZ would be that all the equipment would be Eco friendly and NZ made! Here is the google drawing I created!

If you would like a closer look here is my Link

The website I used was called Sweet Home 3D this is awesome to make houses and buildings like mine! It's really detailed and fun the only thing is if you use the online version (instead of downloading) you have to keep the tab open or you have to restart, I had to restart 3 times!

I hope you enjoyed my blog today!

What facility would you like to make?

Native Animals in New Zealand (Kaupeka Newspaper)
