Maths/ Directions and Distances

 This week for maths the task we had to do was to draw a map (of your choice) digitally and write some questions challenging you to use your knowledge on the subject. This is the drawing I ended up with.

I did my map on the equestrian centre I go to. 

Here is the link for a closer look.

Rainbow Reading/Teaching Te Reo

 Welcome to this new blog post! This week we were working the Fantastics! But what are they? 

As you see up top, those are the Fantastics. The task we were to do was read through an article of our choice and highlight words and sentences the colour of the Fantastics. If the word was excited or sad then it would be highlighted red as a feeling which is first on the fantastic rainbow. There were also some images of what made an article so for example the headline, strap line and more. The article I read was about teaching Te Reo in schools. Here is a screenshot of what I've done.

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.
