Tangrams

Tan grams are very easy. You have different shapes and you have to make up what the picture shows you. I had to make a bird, boat and a man. The hardest tangram was the man and the easiest tangram was the bird.

Building blocks

In this game you have to build stuffs with cubes. There is a platform where you build and a picture of what you have to build. This game is very easy because all you have to do is  memories where the shapes go.

This week for math we revised our 3D shapes. We spent 2 days working on 3D and 2D shapes. We had to draw lots of different shapes such as a cube, cylinder, cone and other shapes. I learnt that the tip of a pyramid is called a vertex.

Sports camp

Sports camp this year will be very interesting. It will be interesting because there will be schools that we have never versed before. This year I want us to get more than 7 trophies. I reckon that we will win rugby, softball, volleyball, wall ball, soccer, touch, triathlon, basketball, indoor soccer, table tennis, chess, athletics, petanque and caged soccer.  We have been training hard in these codes so I hope that we do good in them. This year we won’t know what schools are good and what schools are bad at sport. I think i will be valuable in touch, soccer, athletics, basketball, cross country, hockey, softball and volleyball.

This week for math my group was working on a fraction worksheet. We were working on equivalent fractions. It is easy because it is just like simplifying fractions. Then we put the fractions in it's simplest form. The hardest thing was filling in the gaps with = or ?.

Math

For this week in math time we have been learning stage 8. To me stage 8 is easy.  In stage 8 you use these symbols < > = and percentage. We convert decimals into percentage. In stage 8 my score out of 40 was 37. If you want to play click the link Prototec. It is not only stage 8 . It goes down all the way to stage 2.

Fractions

In math this week we have been learning fractions. We have been learning to convert improper fractions in to mixed fractions.You have to divide the numerator by the denominator. Write down the whole number answer . Then write down any remainder above the denominator. For example  31/3 into mixed fractions is 10 and 1/3

After that my group work on a fraction work sheet.

2015 looks like a good year

Hi my name is Siua and it is now 2015.This is my last year at Glen Innes school. Next year I will be going to Tamaki College. I am in room 12. In room 12 we are learning about Self--awareness and Self--Advocacy. Self--awareness is about the good things and the bad things about yourself. Self--Advocacy is the things when you look at  the bad things and changing them from bad to good.
