Decimat Place Value

WALT: understand place value in decimals using decimats.

First picture divided into Tenths.

Second picture divided into Hundredths.

Third picture divided into Thousandths.

The game we played we quite easy.  If the person rolled a four on the first dice.  Then when your roll the second dice and you get a tenth, you have to colour in four tenths of the decimat.  In the game, you also have to use different colours if you have to colour the same decimat.  For example, if you used red to colour the tenths decimat, you have to use a different colour to colour in the tenths decimat.  The game helped me a lot because I learned what decimat to colour in when the dice was rolled.  It was very fun to learn and fun to play.

Mug Design

WALT: design our own NZ Milo mug.  

This is the mug design for our art.  We had to make a mug that had New Zealand designs on it to prove that is is from New Zealand.  On my design, I used Maori words instead of drawings because using words is easier and it also shows that the mug is from New Zealand.  We first had to draw four or more designs on paper then choose one that we had to do on our mug.  Then we had to draw the design on the mug and then use a marker to complete the design.

Stage 7 Prototec

This is my test results for my Prototec Basic Facts.  In this test, I did stage 7.  I got 3 of them all correct but just the fractions and percentage part.  That means I have to learn more about fractions and percentages.  If I learn them I will get 100% and I will move on to Stage 8.

Hockey

Today, our class went to learn Hockey.  Our coach was Lydia.  The first thing we had to know was to keep the hockey stick below your knees.  We also had to use the flat side of the stick not the round side.  We then played a game that relates to traffic lights.  Green was to hit the ball, red was to stop and yellow slow down.  Lydia also included 2 more colours, purple and silver.  Purple was to go backwards and silver was to go fast. I enjoyed hockey and would like to play again.

The Last Day

WALT: write a recount.

On July the 19th 2015, was the last day of the holidays.  All I did at my friends house for the last day was just, playing games.  I was at my friends house for the whole weekend and it was time for me to go back to my house.

I first had lunch to prepare for my big bike ride.  I was going with my friend, my friends mother, my sister and her french friend.  I had baked beans in a croissant for lunch.  The croissant I had was crunchy and the baked beans were perfect.  It was weird eating the croissant seeing my friend eat because he took bit by bit.  Me on the other hand just took a big piece and stuffed it in my mouth.  I think they could know that I liked croissants.

After that, I got ready for the bike ride.  I didn’t have a bike so I used my friends brothers bike.  His bike was perfect for me.  I also used his helmet.  I was surprised because the helmet tightly squeezed my head and my friends brother was 16 years old!  I don't know how my friends brother could wear a helmet like that.  With everything set, we went on our bike ride.

We went on the bike ride because if I went by car, my last day would be at home doing nothing so the bike ride was able to make my last day fun...with a bit of exercise as well.  We were going to town because that’s where the train station is.  On the bike ride, we went over hills and down hills.  It was very fun because I went so fast, the brakes squealed as they turned red.  

Then we went under the harbor bridge.  The bridge was on top of our heads so we could hear cars and bikes roaring like it was millions of war planes.  Then we had to go on the footpath and ride our bikes near the roads.  We then reached a bridge near town that goes down when boats go away and when boats come, it opens.  We we lucky that it was down.  When we went over the bridge, we got ice cream.

We got ice cream at a place where you can choose any of your favorite toppings and put them on you ice cream.  We then put our bikes somewhere safe and walked to the train station in Britomart.  I had to say goodbye to my friends mother and him because my sister and I had to catch a train back to glen innes.  We had to wait 20 minutes for the train.  That was the end of the bike ride.

When I got home, I quickly emptied my bag and hugged my mum.
