Calendar Art 2016

  

This year for Calendar Art I made a piece of art. I am super proud of it.

First we had to paint our background black. Next we had to colour in our A5 piece of paper. After we had to cut it into strip's not cutting all the and at halfway I switched sides. The next day I stuck my paper onto my background.

This is my Calendar Art for 2016.

Word Problems

Improving Comments

Today for Cybersmart we worked on improving blog comments. We had to find a bad blog comment and improve it. This is my improved blog comment.

Term 3 Recount: Chuck The Chicken

I made a recount about Chuck The Chicken at Kiwi Can. If you find anything that I can improve on please leave a comment with feedback.

OINK!!!,

Today we watched an entertaining tape of Mrs McGuinnity's Inquiry Group playing the game Chuck the Chicken, even though it was a cow that sounded like a pig. The class played it with the Kiwi Can leaders, Katie And Nathan.

When the game started they got divided into two teams. The first team were in a circle and they started to chuck the chicken. The cow went to Sam T who got his team a point. The reason he made it was because Dom was the odd one out and he was the only one not in line.

The next round when Nathan said “CHUCK THE CHICKEN” Adelaide jumped up sprinted around and swooped into his seat he got his team the point because Sam M wasn’t in line.

It went on to the next team and the first person in that team that had to run was Junior. Junior had supersonic speed and it payed off because he got a point for his team.

The second person that had to run and throw the cow was Nyesha. I’m not so sure but I think that she didn’t get the point, then I heard Dom say “That’s not a straight line”. When Dom said that it made me laugh out loud.

The last person to throw was Lukas and he got a well deserved point for his team. Suddenly Katie changed the rules and now they were much more complicated.

The second team was passing around the cow while saying chuck the chicken then Nathan yelled “CHUCK THE CHICKEN”. Christian had it but it took him awhile to throw the cow. Once he did throw the cow it went out the window and Michael sprinted outside to get it while Christian was running. The  last few people to run were Dom, Matthew M, Junior and Lukas. The team that chucked the chicken won.

I would love to play this game with my family because I think we would have a lot of fun. I am very gutted that I was sick that day.

Mathematical Investigation Number 3

This Week in Maths we have been doing  Mathematical Investigations. We also worked out How to find the Area Of A Circle. Lauren Andre and I worked together to Hatch A Plan. Our plan helped us to figure out the equation. We made a slideshow with all of our our answers, Enjoy.

Area Of A Circle

Today for math we learnt how to find out the Area of the circle and we had to do 4. I found One thing challenging and that was how to find the answer because there were decimal numbers. I then used the calculator. I Only Got Two Done. I shows you my plan on my circle.

Number 1

Number 2

John Lennon

For before School work today we had to find out about someone we don't know. I chose John Lennon.

John Lennon is an English born singer song writer that co-founded the Beatles. 

5 Facts:

1. He was born October 9th 1940

2.    He got Assassinated on December 8th 1980 (Age 40)

3. He got married twice. His first wife was Cynthia Lennon and his wife when he died was Yoko Ono

4.  He was married to Yoko Ono for 11 years.

5.  He Co-Founded The Beatles


I think John Lennon is a good person and co founded a very popular band and I think it was sad how he got Assassinated.
