Reading.

1.) What are we doing this term in reading? Were reading a novel book and the author is called Roald Dahl.

2.) By only looking at the back cover, what can we infer or guess about the story?
The character was a fox and the other character looks like a farmer.

3.) After reading the back cover, what do you think the story is about? Make a prediction on what will happen. The fox looks like a hunter and a stealer. He probably goes to farm and steal some chicken.

4.) Using your prior knowledge, Why do you think I selected this book for us to read?
to make our reading skills better because if we go to year 9 and 10 we will be reading a lot of novel book so our teacher was just getting us ready for next year.

Hurumanu art

In hurumanu we've been doing this kind of stuff, were writing about the story that our group made. So I wrote the whole story that we made I hope you get inspired and I hope you like it.

There was a kid named Matthew who was really upset to what he sees. He saw the lake was full of rubbish and it was very stink. The kid was feeling unhappy for the fish and some animal who lives in the lake. Matthew wanted the environment to be always clean, so he called his 3 friends to help him to clean the lake. Instead of riding a bike and playing games they decided to just help their friend to clean the very stinky dirty lake. 

So they brought a plastic with them and they e After 2 weeks the lake looks beautiful but the smell was still there but it’s not that very stink anymore. When the other people saw the lake they were surprised by what they saw. There was an old man who sees them cleaning the lake so the man tried to find those 4 kids and he saw them in the park playing so the man called them and the man said, “I will buy you all the lollies you want.” They were really happy to what they heard from the man.

The old man brought them to the supermarket to buy the lollies they want, they really enjoyed getting the free lollies and they were really thankful for the old man. The man asked them why they cleaned the lake, they said that they want their country to be clean. The man was surprised to what he heard from them because they were just 8 years old and their mind looks like 18 years old. The man was really happy because he wasn’t expecting that there would be a kids that would do that to just make sure their country was clean and safe.

Maths blogging

Today we did maths so in maths we did problem solving so now we were just doing a blog post about what we've learnt today. So in the white board there's some question that was written up, so now i'm gonna be answering those question that is written up on the board.

What was the activity? So the activity that we did is problem solving with 4 groups of people.

What strategy did your group try? We did adding because it's more easier.

What did you find challenging? The other question were challenging but the other question were not. The most challenging is when you counting up to like hundreds.

How well did your group work together? 

We work pretty well no one is talking about other things they were just talking about what we've been learning.

Were you successful? 

Yes because I always help with the hard question and I always communicate. 

It's Cool To Be Kind

Today we've been working about kindness. So I made a slide about kindness, I think were doing this so that if people went to our blogs they will see this stuff. This is really important to other people mostly to other kids, if they went to our blogs they would see this and maybe someday if they grow up they would do this kind of stuff like helping other people and making others people's day.
