Hayley

In room 1 we have a very skilled gymnast named Hayley Chapman. I've got a really cool shot of Hayley in the middle of a backward walkover. Hayley can almost do a flick-flack and she takes gym class in Blenhiem once a week. Hayley is a really good friend as well as a good gymnast I bet she will achieve stardom one day so keep going Hayley!

Thirding

Room's 1 maths group the Spheres is learning about doubling, halving and thirding.  First, we learnt about doubling and halving, like in a multiplication equation you would take the easiest number to halve and halve it, and take the easiest number to double and double it, in order to get the answer, for example...5 x 18 = 10 x 9 = 190 - see?

All I did was double the 5 and halve the 18 in order to get the answer. 

Thirding is just the same except you do it in threes. Like 24 x 3, I third the 24 and triple the 3 to get 24x3=8x9=72!    

This strategy is really cool and I'm sure it will help me heaps in bigger maths problems when I'm older!

Prism

On Tuesday I learnt that there is no such thing as prison in maths shapes, but there is such thing as Prison because its where naughty people go.

Now I know that in maths shapes it is not Prison it is Prism!  

SAFETY DANCE

Last Friday we tried Break Dancing and it was hard because you need your own space and you also need to work together Dancing you have to be really careful because you can get really damaged.  So if you try to do something new don't do it by yourself.  If your going to do any sort of dance have an adult so always stay SAFE!!! 

My Imaginative Story

I wrote an imaginative story called Wild Horse. I have learnt how to use a numbered brainstorm and add lots of adjectives so I make my writing is interesting for my audience. When I number my brainstorm it makes it easy to write in paragraphs, this also makes it easier for me to write an interesting story.

Fiordland Holiday By Gloria Harvey

Yesterday Room 1's maths group the Spheres got an awesome new game called Fiordland Holiday.

It's a really fun maths game and it's really good way to learn your advanced times tables like on one of the cards it's got on a Milford Sound day tour, see the famous Mirror Lakes Score 3 x 300 points. Then you would work out the equation and in these circumstances  you would have 9oo points! Sometimes you only get to solve a problem but thats still fun.   You travel round the board and if you land on an animal you get the amount of points that's written down on the board. Whoever gets the most points wins the game.I'm really happy we got the new game and I bet people will stay happy using it!
