Word problem and key words

WALT: Read graphs, analyse data, and report on statistical findings.
This week we are doing word problems and key words for maths. We are
given a question to answer and we have to use the key word. Like for an example: addition,subtraction,division and multiplication.

My problem solving Term 4

Walt: solve word problems
Walt: solve a range of equations using fractions

Today we are learning to solve word problems and solve a range of equations using fractions. We have been learning our fractions recently and are now solving word problems like the Walt says. For an example 10/12 of 12= 10 because if you look at the 10/12 it gives you a hint. I'm not going to tell you.

San Diego zoo virtual tour

Walt: think about my purpose and reader by planning my recount.

Plan of my paragraph topics

1. Introduction	Orientates and hooks

5. Conclusion	What I think about the San Diego zoo

Going on a trip to San Diego zoo, really it’s a virtual tour. Interesting things about the zoo that I saw on the internet, on our chrome-books, (sigh). Would you want to take a virtual tour of San Diego zoo or a real life tour to see the animals in person?.

Today we are learning about the San Diego zoo and is now writing introductions. We learnt that it takes a very long time to write a introduction. We are learning to think about my purpose and reader by planning my recount.

My Fear Factor plan and Intro

Walt: think about my purpose and reader by planing my recount

1. Introduction	Orientates and hooks
2. Body Paragraph 1	Doing the Fear factor challenge ( disgusting tv show) and
3. Body Paragraph 2	Who the contestant and  How Mr Goodwin tricking us
4. Body Paragraph 3	how gross it look like and sounds like ( It was only kiwi fruit juice and baked beans)
5. Conclusion	What I think about the fear factor challenge

!WOW! What a start to the morning, room 6 did the fear factor challenge but only 4 contestants were allowed to enter. Fear factor is a TV show that is super gross. The fear factor challenge is a tough objection that people have been chosen to do what you call distasteful.

We are learning to think about my purpose and reader by planing my recount. In writing we are describing our purpose and to only pick one main idea. We have been writing only 1 and only 1 main purpose so that it is easier to understand and explain.

My first educreation lesson

Walt: explain your thinking

Today we are learning to explain our thinking. We have been learning about decimals and a easier way to solve the maths questions. We learnt to split the decimals numbers up and work it out.

Our recount about our egg race

Walt: think about the purpose and reader by planning my recount.

Wow as us being students doing a strange race that we have never done before in the mornings. Having an egg race was actually a real fun game but super difficult. As us having to do an egg race was strange,not like the teaching Mr Goodwin I know .

Arriving at school and going into our literacy classes we were bored when Mr Goodwin gave us an egg each but before that we had to have a partner. As so my partner was Adriel. We had 1 egg to share and also had the chance to draw a face on it and to give it a name which was Bobby.

Our class thought that Mr Goodwin was talking nonsense until he actually was taking us to the park for a egg race. In this egg race was that we had to race the egg across the park to our partner but we had to put the egg on the spoon. Wow I guess he wasn’t talking nonsense at all.

As for you might ask why we had an egg race, it was because that Mr Goodwin was seeing if we were fragile or that we did not even care about the egg smashing. It was a lot of fun that we had a race to start of the day as it started off well. As well as the class and I knew was that he wanted to test us on how careful we were.

Thinking about the egg race we had it was quite difficult but still fun. For my partner and I we were a little bit upset because I dropped my egg as it was an accident. To speak for the class and myself we all had fun as some had smashed and some survived which was devastating.

My problem solving

Walt: multiply and divide decimals by powers of tens.

We are learning to multiply and divide decimals by powers of tens. This week we are learning our decimals and how to multiply decimals and also divide them using powers of tens. The task ask us to divide and multiply meaning using division and multiplication. In our maths we work in groups so as you know that working in a group is much easier than working by yourself.

The team 4 market day

Walt: write an interesting and detailed recount.
As our market day was on Friday we did it for mostly the whole afternoon block. That was our only market day we had and also was our first but so it went on. For some reason everyone sighed in shame

Our market day was to celebrate our hard work but mostly congratulating our hard work and effort towards our products we made. For my business group home ware we make things for homes,stores and schools. But for my own group we made skull shaped candles that are big and small and also orange peel candles which worked out very well. We had various of choices like candles,soaps,potpourri,air fresheners and so much more. Smelling a lot of nice smells from other trade and enterprise group like kitchen and home ware. With the smell it attracted people to their things and to buy it.

As setting up our business groups we just shuffled tables and chairs also products around and decorated the big space with posters buntings and others. Our group was set up by Miss Lavakula class and along the wet lunch time games. We shifted the tables and put posters on it with our products set on a sheet/lava lava. With a little bit of help we made buntings which are like little cut out flags to put on a long or short piece of string. The lava lava/sheet was to cover the table to make it look nice.

I had my first experience with selling my products which is the first time I've ever did that. As my partner and I sell our products we only had a few knowings about how to sell and what to say to get there attention. As going we did not know what to say so we said something random and poof out of nowhere a Christchurch visitor came and bought one of our orange peel candle and as she bought it she gave us 4 pt. The real cost was only 50 pieces to be honest.

While buying other things we did not know what to buy as then it being different from buying from the shops. As buying for 30 mins we did not really know what to buy from other groups like kitchen,jewels and accessories,musical instruments and custom stationery. As for buying it was hard because others were calling and sometimes shouting loud. Trying to desperately get people to buy from their store.

The market day was awesome  and I didn't really buy anything because I wanted to save my pt’s. It was a lot of fun because there were all kinds of stuff to buy like slingshots,bow and arrow,tin pin bowling gear and sooooo much more. As if this was the best day ever it truly was for everyone. Finding nice and fun things is !!awesome!!.

We are learning to write an interesting and detailed recount. We have learnt to write only 1 big and small main idea in a paragraph or sentence. The task ask us to write a detailed recount and to add lots of interesting words and detailed sentences too.

The making of poems

Walt:  use our inferencing skills to find meaning in the text.

In an early morning                                                                               Waking up early    

We collect ______                                                                             hearing it mumble

to grow even bigger.                                                                           It was a _______    

                                                                                                         

But separates because it was large.                                                  It was in search of its prey.

                                                                                                               Using his paws it scratches.

This won’t’ stop eating as it travels around.             

            It disappears into screen air.                                                          I watch him all morning.

      Coming and seeing

              it was ______________  

              With his nice curly hair     

With ripped shoes but doesn't care.      

                   As him being tall.

              He drinks coffee every morning.

Today we have been doing a activity is which that we 

have to read the poem and write our ideas and because 

why we think that. We have been learning to use our inferencing s

kills to find meanings in the text.

Explaining the definition in sentences

Walt: use the words related to the story to write our own sentences.
We have been learning to search the definition of our word and write it in our own words. 
We have been learning to use the words related to the story to write our own sentences.
In this reading activity we had to define what the word means.

Our trade fair

Walt: use language that paints a picture in the minds of our reader.

This is about a trade fair that team 4 had in week 4. The trade fair we had was something that we take orders from customers as they visit. Trade means the action of buying and selling goods and services, enterprise means a company or business.

Our trade fair was a place that we sell our products that we make in our business groups. We take orders so that we have time to make what our customers want that we have. Others have there own things so that all just don’t have the same. It is like a service thing but a little different from what real ones are.

There are 6 various of groups that we have and they are: Homeware, Kitchen, Musical instrument, Toys,Jewelry and custom stationery. I belong to the homeware group where we sell things that can be used at home or school. The product that my group and I have decided was a skull candle and a orange peel candle. We had presentations to present.

At the trade fair was that we got to walk around seeing the creativity that other people made with what resources they had to make what they decided. My experiences with this is that this was my first school trade the I have ever been to.

In week 8 there will be a market day which is a day that a lot of products that each group make will be sold.

The making of the orders will be done on that day and the ones who ordered will get their thing. The market day is when we get to the fun stuff.

Chocolate critic

Walt: use language that paints a picture in the mind of our reader.

If i had went to a store to buy L&P chocolate I would eat this for breakfast all day.

The product is a king size bar of white chocolate that is a L&P flavored. It has a Whittaker's brand on the bar and wrapper. Also it has a Whittaker's brand on the bar itself like little writing and was $4.30. I think that L&P combined with white chocolate is a great idea for me….. that’s my type.

Drooling like a little baby as it was melting in my mouth as a flowing river of chocolate . It was bumpy and smooth at the same time which was weird. It just look’s like a plain white chocolate but with gold spots buried in it as if it had sank down in the ocean. As smelling the chocolate it had a unusual smell on it but hard to explain, but if I had to I’d say . In my mouth with a perfect level of sweetness.

I could improve this by adding in little soft candy or just leave it. I could change the chocolate into dairy chocolate with an L&P flavored. By my case I just don’t feel like having to change or improve it.

I would give it a 10/10 in my distance of rate and what I feel that I think of it. I like this kind of product that Whittaker’s have done by combining a L&P drink and white chocolate to make L&P chocolate.

We are learning to use a type of language that paints a picture in the mind of our readers. The task ask us to use a certain type of language that explains it to the reader and that draws/paints a picture. Our reader can feel like they are in the story.
