Problem Solving-Week 4

WALT: Add and Subtract.



In Problem Solving this week, I have learnt to look at the number in the right. For example:1893-546=?, before I answer I am going to look at the last two numbers. So 13-16=7, after that we solve the rest of the question. The end result would be 1347.(if you did not know, Moi means me in French)

Superb Window Cleaners

WALT: Put our self into the text.

Task: You are offering advice to someone who is looking at buying one of the two watches. You will need to review the watches and explain why you would suggest buying one or the other. Remember to use FREE TO USE images.    


In reading we have been learning about putting our self into the text. So we are trying to get the message from the text (well that's what I have done). My message from this text is to keep my widows clean and window cleaning would be an awesome job. It would be very dangerous job but if you are careful I think you will be okay. If you have not notice, this is not real.

Maths Teacher Lesson-Week 2

WALT: Add and subtract.



Last week in maths teacher lesson, we learnt how to add and subtract. We mostly looked at decimals and then we made them into fractions. For example; 2.4. The way I solve the question is by doing this; there is 2 and there 4/10, so if we add those together, it would equal to 2 and 4/10. So 2.4 in fractions would equal to 2 and 4/10's.

PT's and Pieces

WALT: Write two paragraphs about PT's and Pieces.

This term our topic is trade and enterprise. So in team four, we have our own money that we can earn and spend. Instead of cent, we have pieces and instead of dollars, we have Pt's. We can earn pieces and Pt's by sitting up in class, cleaning up, doing jobs, coming to school and by lots of other things too. Everybody has a bank account (kids one) of their own where they keep there money of course. There are lots of ways we can spend our money, we could hire a bean bag or something else, we can also buy things at the auction that we have most weeks. We can also get a fine for either 3 PT's or 5 PT's. For example; you can get a fine for not being at school, not giving the right amount of money in the auction, standing up at eating time when a teacher has not said anything and loads more.

We also have six business's that we are all in. There is Toys, Kitchen, Custom Stationary, Homeware, Jewels and Accessory's and Musical Instruments. In these business's we have projects that we work on and then we can sell it at the market where everybody in our team can buy it. We have a teacher and a group of students in each business. Our team also have partners of two or three in those business's who make the projects. My project that I am working on is squishy balls made from balloons and flour.

It is only the start of the term and this has been really cool. So when we get into the middle of the term I might even have more than my goal. I wonder how much money I will have at the end of the term. Well until then, I should focus on my project. 

Biodiversity Animation

WALT: Create an animation with detail about biodiversity.



Last term in extension, I learnt about a bit about biodiversity. Our task was to create an animation that has detail about biodiversity. I have learnt what biodiversity is and what it means to our planet. I have made this animation to show what it is, what it is about, how we can help, how it is important to our planet and compare and contrast.

Maths Problem Solving-Week 3

WALT: Add and subtract decimals.



Start Writing Here: In Problem Solving I have been learning how to solve questions on my own. I have learnt that sometimes it is okay to solve questions with the simple solution. For example; 0.87-0.64=?. The simple way to work this out is by spiting them and then subtracting. It looks like this 0.8-0.6=0.2 and then we do 0.07-0.04=0.03. Once I have done this I will have the answer, 0.2+0.03=0.23. So the answer would be 0.23.

Bean Bags for Hire-3pt Whole Day

WALT:pursued the reader to agree with our message.


Bean bags are like a squishy comfortable cushion to relax on.

During class time the bean bags are available for hire to sit on for the whole day. Instead of sitting on the tough stiff floor or on a flat plastic chair, you will be able to sit on the comfortable squishy bean bag to do your work.

The bean bags are filled with soft beans which make it comfy and are covered in a rubber skin (which is not very rough so it is still comfy). They can be moulded into the shape of your choice. You can choose to sit on the bean bag, or use it to lean back to be relax, or you could use it as a soft chair or cushion.

The bean bags come in two different colors and sizes. A big dark lime green one, and a smaller daylight blue one. It’s your choice which one you want to sit or lean on, .

The price to hire the bean bag is 3pt. You pay once at the beginning of the day and then you can enjoy relaxing in the beanbag for the rest of the day.

Remember for 3pt you can enjoy working on the bean bag during class the whole day.

In reading this week, we had to re crafted a piece of writing about hiring bean bags in our class. I have learnt that whenever you are writing another sentence, you should always look back and read it again of the paragraph. I have use Thesaurus to get better words to re craft. This is supposed to be an advertisement in our class so we had to write like we writing a real advertisement.
