week reflection

Reflection
This week during work I started doing my report on pumas. Unfortunately, I had sprained  my thumb so I had to do it on my chrome book. I thought personally it was quite good and I was very proud of it. I worked hard to complete my goal during that. My narrative was very long with no paragraphs.. (whoops!) about a alien who became friends with a girl.

My maths was good and I enjoy doing mental maths now. The prototec maths was good and I see what I need to work on.

My daily reading is still good and I still enjoy reading. I am starting to becume better at my reading goal.

Maths success


Maths Success
This Week so far for My maths hub I have been practicing how to round decimal numbers to a nearest tenth or whole number. When I thought I was good enough at that went on to rounding any numbers. At first I didn't get it but when I re-read the Question I understood it perfectly and I managed to complete the word sentence. Here is what I did.
 
An example of what I was doing is: Say you have the number 2.7 and you want to round it to the nearest tenth, you would round it up because .7 is closer to 3 rather than 2. If you had 2.3 you would round it down because .3 is closer to 2 rather than 3. I didn't get to finish the other questions because we had to go to liturgy but I will finish it as soon as possible.

my blog reflection

My Blogger reflection

My reading goal this term is to evaluate and integrate ideas across a small range of texts. This week, I have been focusing  on that specifically. I personally  think I can already do that with some books, but not all. Next week I hope to improve further 

My maths goal this term is to use multiplication facts to solve problems instead of repeated addition, e.g; 9+9+9+9 as 4x9. I prefer to add instead of times, and I think half of that is because I don't know all my times tables, but I will try to do it

My writing goal this term is to understand the purpose I am writing for and identify the writing processes that are appropriate for that purpose. I sometimes find that a bit tricky. This week, I didn't do it but will do it next week.

want a cockroach named after you? Kiwi Kids News Report

Want A Cockroach Named After You

In Bronx zoo, USA, is now letting people name a Madagascar hissing cockroach. They are named because they hiss  by exhaling (means breath out) air through breathing holes which is a different and unique thing for an insect. In Bronx zoo, they say that by naming a cockroach it honour's someone for valentines day.

A zoo in New York, 2011, started a name-you're-own-roach-system as a fun way to fun raise. For $13.70, the person you named the cockroach for gets e-mailed a certificate saying a Madagascar hissing cockroach has been named for them.

They also added something else. Instead of having just a roach, you can also get a Madagascar hissing cockroach plush toy and chocolates.

All the money goes to the wildlife conversation society.

blogger refletion

Blogger reflection
This week I learnt how to multiply in albrega. At first I found it tricky, but then I did it again and got the hang of it. I think it's an easy way to work things out.
