Animals at War

This is my slide that I did about Animals at War for Anzac day. You had to chose 1 Animal out of 6 to chose from. I chose cats because I had no idea what they were used for. Turns out after little research cats were used to catch rats and mice and they also were the solders friends. I really liked this activity because I reflected on the people who die in ww1 and ww2.        

west coast slide

This is my west coast new Zealand slide. We got given this slide that had some questions about the west coast like how long the west coast is and how many people live in the west coast. It was a good activity to do because I learnt a lot about the west coast. It took a while to do but it was quite easy to do. 

maths dlo

The past few weeks we have been learning how to 
carry numbers like 5/10 would equal 50. Its just 5x10 or 5x5x5x5x5x5x5x5x5x5 2/2 would be 2x2 or 3/7 would be 3x7 or 7x7x7, do you get it?  Before I new this I thought carrying numbers was really hard but I know now that it is not.  

reflection of this term

This term has been a really good term but there are some things I didn't like about it. First I'll start with the thing I did like about this term. First of all I learn a lot of things this term mostly maths. This term has also been really fun with fitness and learning outside and inside the class room. I hope next term we will do more things outside the class room. This term has been a really good term apart from one bad thing... Most of the boys don't listen to instructions. Like if Mrs P says to sit on the mat or something they don't do it then Mrs P gets mad at them and the day is mostly ruined. Next term I would like the kids to be better behaved. Apart from that this term has been a really good one.           

Financial Literacy

The past few weeks we have been doing this activity called financial literacy. First we got this sheet that you had to write what cars you want when you are older how many kids you want and if you want a wife or not. Then we got card that had your weekly income, your tax and your mortgage. Then you got a groceries card and a fortune card with the fortune card you got a random situation like your car broke down or your lawnmower stopped working then you take the money of your income. You do that for 3 weeks. On the 4th week you had to pay for Sky TV your insurance and power. Once you did that if you were in debt you have to put your account to 0$ from your savings account (you have $2000 in your savings to begin with). With me I was in debt by $900 because I had to have a root canal for $700. So now I only have $1000 in my savings account. I like this activity because it prepares you for the real world.

What I want when I'm older.

                 My income sheet.

We are going to do another month of this programme next term.  I hope I don't end up in debt again!

                       

pumpkin soup

Today we made pumpkin soup In groups of 4. the pumpkins are from are school garden. We first had to put the pumpkin in the microwave for a minute to soften it, then we cut it in half and scoped the seeds out of them. Once we did that we put some butter,garlic,salt and pepper we then we put tin foil over it then we put it in the oven for a few hours. After a few hours we scooped the pumpkins out of its skin,  put the pumpkins in a blender and hey presto! You have some delicious pumpkin soup.
