Muskan Devta - An Inspiration

Muskan Devta is a 15 year old who has a health problem called Partial Hemiplegia.  Partial Hemiplegia is when half of you body does not function well.  Muskan Devta is an inspiration to me.

Muskan Devta is a inspiration to me because when she was young, she was a loner which means she had no friends.  When she had no friends, she went to the library and read books.  When she was 9 years old, she published her first book.  When she told us that, I thought about if I do the same thing as her, maybe I can publish my first book.  When she talked to us, I thought she would sound a bit weird but when she spoke, she spoke very good.  I think she could speak properly because of reading books.

When Muskan Devta went to a intermediate school, she began to get friends.  When she was in intermediate, she was a collen writer.  That means she wrote the news for the radio announcers. When Muskan Devta was young, she already knew how to speak 7 different languages.  Thats pretty impressive to me.  When Muskan Devta wrote her 2 books, she raised funds for Starship Hospital.

Muskan Devta is an inspiration to me because even though she had no friends when she was young, she carried with her life.  She told us to not be afraid, and achieve what you want to become.  That is why, she is an inspiration to me.

Brainie

This game is called Brainie.  In this game you have to look t the number on the side and add the numbers to get the number.  For example, if the number on the side is 14, I could go 7 + 7 but I don't have any sevens so I could go 5 + 5 = 10 + 6 - 2 = 14.  If I do that more of the numbers will go away and I will have a higher score.  If you want to play this game, here is the link: http://www.coolmath-games.com/0-brainie/index.html

Rounding and Compensating

This week in maths,we are learning to round and compensate numbers.  Rounding and compensating numbers is hard and easy.  For example, 45 + 28 = ? you have to plus 2 to 28 so you 30 because the nearest number to 28 is 30.  45 +30 = 75.  Then you have to take away 2 from 75 so its 75 - 2 = 73.  I need to learn this because if something like this pops up in college, I can remember what I did in primary school.  This is the worksheet we were learning how to round and compensate numbers:

How to make a cup of tea

                                                How To Make A Cup Of Tea

Tea is a type of drink you make at home.  Tea comes in many different flavours.  Tea was first invented by a chinese emperor called Shen Nung.  People make tea differently from everyone else.  

The ingredients people need to make tea are hot boiling water, a tea bag (any flavour), milk and sugar.  People also need utensils so the utensils are just a teaspoon, a cup and a plate if needed.  Those are the only ingredients and utensils needed.  

To make tea, people need to follow these steps.  First you have to boil water to get hot water.  When the hot water is done, get a tea bag and put it into a cup (get plate to if needed).  Then you have to pour the hot water into the cup and wait for the tea bag to brew.  If people like tea strong leave the tea bag in for longer or if people like tea a bit weak then leave tea bag in for a little bit.  When the tea has brewed, take the tea bag out and put 2 or 1 teaspoon in the cup.  Finally, pour one drop of milk into the cup and stir.  Now you can enjoy your tea.

Many different people like and make tea differently.  Some people like tea strong, and some like tea weak.  People also make tea differently on how people like tea.

Egg Fractions

This game is called Egg Fractions.  This game is suitable for 7 - 11 year olds.  In this game you have to look at the drawn fractions and match the drawn fractions to the fraction below.  The answer to 1/4 is the drawn fraction in the middle.  This game was very easy for me because I know my fraction.  There are many stages to choose from but I chose this one.  I would like to play games like this because it helps people learn new things.  If you want to play the game, this is the link:

How To Play Ripper Rugby

                                                       How to play Ripper Rugby

Ripper rugby is a game like rugby but tackling and hurting other people is not allowed.  Ripper rugby is just a fun game that you can play anywhere.

To play ripper rugby, equipment is always needed.  The equipment to play ripper rugby is tags, belts, two teams, a rugby ball, open space (easier on fields), cones, coaches and an empire.  When people play ripper rugby, people also need a big space to play it.  If your school has a big field, that’s a good place to play ripper rugby.  When people get ready for ripper rugby, people have to set the cones out so when the player goes to score for the team, they know wear to score.

Playing ripper rugby is like playing rugby but is a little bit different.  Each team has to have tags the colour of their team.  For example, if there is a blue team, people in that team have to have blue tags.  If a team has the ball, the other team has to rip the tag of the player before he score for the team.  If the player holding the ball gets his or her tag ripped off, he or she has to stay on the spot and pass the ball to the team player.  Tackling or full contact is disallowed.  To score a point, you need to get a try like on rugby.  

Ripper rugby is a fun game that should be played everywhere like the beach or big fields.  When you play ripper rugby, make sure people enjoy ripper rugby because it is a fun game.

Using Apostrophes

This game is called Using Apostrophes.  This game helps me because in my writing, I can now learn how to use Apostrophes at the correct time.  I didn't know how to use apostrophes before so this game was very helpful.  This game was easy and hard for me. I got 6 correct and 1 wrong which means my knowledge of using apostrophes is good not perfect.  This game is very good because it teaches you something and I would like to play more games like this. This is the link to the game:

Alfonso Baking Muffins

Yesterday, Alfonso came to our school for our new topic study.  Our new topic was muffins.  Alfonso is a chef and the father of Manualla.  She is in room 1.  When Alfonso came to our school, he first told us about muffins and how to make them.  After that Alfonso showed us the ingredients.  Savoury muffins contain vegetables and meat while sweet muffins contain chocolate, berries and other sweet things.  Alfonso made some sweet muffins just to show us how you can make it.  The sweet muffins were only for demonstration but the teachers could eat some because the muffins were baked and sent to the staffroom.  I wish I was a teacher when that happend because I would like to eat one of his muffins.  

Fraction Models

This game is called Fraction Models.  In this game, you can make your own fraction and figure out what it is.  You can choose how many lines on the fraction you want.  I chose 3 lines and made into a quarter fraction.  Then you can click on the fraction to make some parts of the fraction shaded.  I made the fraction into 2/4.  At the right corner you can change the mode to Length, Area, Region and Set.  I think this game would be good for kids who are learning their fractions.  I would like to learn more about LCM.

Sweet and Sour - Food TECH

2 weeks ago, I made Sweet and Sour rice.  Making the Sweet and Sour rice was cool because I learned how to make Sweet and Sour rice.  This dish was from vegetables, pineapple, tomato paste and sweet and sour sauce.   I like to eat this because rice is a important in my country.  I made the Sweet and Sour rice with Ifa.  Ifa helped me make the Sweet and Sour rice and clean the dishes.  I will like to make more food like this because I always eat rice in my house and I want to make this at home so my family can enjoy what I made.

Savoury Muffins - Food TECH

Last week at Food TECH, we made savoury muffins.  These muffins were made for breakfast.   I made these muffins with Ifa.  The muffins were made with ham, egg, tomato paste and tomato sauce.  These savoury muffins were delicious.  I would like to make more food like this because I want to make food like this at home.

Fried Rice - Food TECH

Today at TECH, My friend and I made fried rice.  The partner I made fried rice with was Robin.  Making the fried rice was easy.  We made it with rice, cooked meat, vegetables and a omelet made from egg and onion.  Robin helped me make all of the fried rice.  The fried rice tasted nice after I made it.  I would like to make more food like this because in my country, everyone likes fried rice.

Fraction Monkeys

This game is called Fraction Monkeys.  In this game you have to match the monkey with the fractions on the number line.  1/2 is the same as 2/4 because 2 is half of 4 so I would have matched 1/2 with 2/4.  I found this game a bit challenging because every level you complete gets harder so it gets more challenging.  This game is very good because you can learn more things about fractions.  I would like to learn more about the square root of numbers.  This is the link to the game:

Robin Williams

Robin Williams was a funny actor, good comedian and a good father.  I have watched many movies he starred in and they were funny.  I have seen Mad Dogs, Old Dogs and Mrs Doubtfire.  I also watched Night In the Museum.  I loved his acting in that movie because he said funny things in the movie.  I also liked Robots.  It is sad because he was a good comedian and he committed suicide yesterday.  He killed himself because he was depressed and there is always a dark side in comedy.  I remembered him best in Night At The Museum.  His role in that movie was Theodore Roosevelt.  He was the guy on the horse every time the moon shines on the Museum.  I think Robin Williams was a funny and good actor and dad.

Bamzooki Basic Fractions

This game is called Bamzooki Basic Fractions.  In this game you have to move the Bamzooki to the correct fractions.  If the circle has three parts shaded, there is 1 part that is not shaded so that means that the answer is 3/4.  This game was really easy for me but in this game it has a time limit which makes it harder to get points.  I would like to learn about more fractions in games like this one.

What I think New Zealand did in the Commonwealth Games

I think that New Zealand did well in the Commonwealth Games because they came 6th with 45 medals.  Even though they got less than England and Australia, New Zealand still might come 4th or better in the Olympics or the next Commonwealth Games.  New Zealand has a good Shot Putt athlete, Valerie Adams.  New Zealand also won many medals in cycling.  England may have came first with 174 medals, New Zealand came first in the population.  If there is a huge place with many people, you will have less chance of getting a medal but when there is a huge place with small amount of people, you have a chance of getting medal.

Fractions as parts of a set

Today in this game I am learning to find a fraction of a set.  In this game, you have to match the word fraction to the shape fraction.  If 1/3 is selected you have to try and match it with the drawn fraction.  This game was really easy for me because I know these fractions because they are easy fractions.  The next fraction game I want t play, must be harder for me so I can get a better knowledge for fractions.
