week 8 duffy book Performants

Yesterday the School went to the Whare to see the duffy book Performants. There was a lady called Rebecca Brothers and she was telling us a bit about her and how she was a swimmer she told us about that it was very interesting. Now she is a cop in Bay of Islands we were singing the duffy song. some of us got books in the Whare.Then we went back to class and we all got books. I got Tom Gates and Goosebumps because I enjoy reading them because it is interesting .

Project Energize

On Tuesday we went to the project energize and we got to make some hummus. Because I was up to date with my work, Gina picked me. At first I didn’t know what to do. I put in a bit more spice for taste then had to put in peanut butter and chickpeas. Mine was very spicy. We all liked it. I had a try and I thought it was good too. I liked it. I learnt about healthy food and I also learnt that chickpeas make hummus.

DLO

In Te Ngahere we have making a Digital Learning Object (DLO) with strategies. I have been practising subtraction with borrowing. I use this strategy because it is so easy and I use this with hundreds. So basically if the bottom numbers are bigger than the top then you have to borrow from your neighbour because if i had 2-9 you can’t do that, so cross-out your neighbour’s number, turn that to one number below and add the one onto the two which will make it 12. Take away 9 so there you go you can do it now. I am still working on my DLO . I will try to get it done ASAP and post it on my blog.

He Aha Tenei

We have been learning Te Reo Maori. We did a google slide about what is this and that is something for example He Aha Tenei? he Puka Puka tena? That means that is a book. I enjoyed doing it and learning more maori words. so I can learn it not just in school but at home to. The hardest thing would be trying to remember the words.

This week Whea Gina came to are school and she was talking about energy drinks because know in countdown they have banned energy drinks from kids Under 16 I think that it is good because energy drinks are not good for kids under 16. We were talking about the good stuff the occasionally stuff and the sometimes drinks. I enjoyed learning about good drinks and bad drinks.
