Statistics vocabulary.

This week for maths we are focusing on statistics. And this game that I played was called statistics vocabulary. The aim of the game is to try and figure out what word goes to the right fraise. It took me awhile to figure out but then I got it right. It gets harder and harder when you go through the stages. I enjoyed this game very much I hope I can do it again sometime.    

Collage/ Final

This is my finished and final collage that I did for digital Tech at Tamaki Collage.

Graphs

Walt:  Draw 3 different graphs that show your survey has been complete

In our group we have been revising statistics. We have done three different
graphs. The graphs that I have done is. A line graph, Bar graph and
lastly a pie graph. Before we had done that we first had to create a
survey for the student's that are going to sports camp this year.
We had to survey 50 students. And we had to have different topics
to share for the students at our school. My topic was, What colour would you like your t-shirt to be? After we finished our survey we had to feed the information into a graph like this. I know that most people like black more than all the recommended colours. And I know that the least favourite is grey. 
                                                       

                                                                                                               

Tiger put down

Walt: write a report/ narrative.

At the Wellington Zoo a Sumatran Tiger named Cantik that is 21 years old has been put down because of severe arthritis and malignant adrenal tumour. In 1994 she arrived to the Wellington zoo from the burger’s zoo in the Netherlands. They said that she would not survive invasive treatment. So their option was to put her down.

Sumatran tigers have short powerful legs huge paws and a powerful jaw. Sumatran Tiger cubs do not make contact with their father and Sumatran Tigers fail at least 90%  of the time catching prey. And the Sumatran Tiger are one of the five smallest subspecies of tiger.    

I think that animals should receive euthanasia. Because it is a better way for them to die instead of the animals dying with pain. They can die a peaceful way. I think Wellington zoo should have a memorial for the Sumatran Tiger Cantik so the community can remember how a wonderful tiger she was.

I think Cantik the Sumatran tiger will be missed for a very long time.       

Pizza game

Our walt was to make and serve pizza’s as quickly as we can The game that I played was papa's pizzeria. The objective of the game was to make the pizza's as quick as you can so you can get big tips from the customers.And when you are finished it shows you the amount of tips that you got for that day. I personally think that this game was a little challenging because you get more people everyday. And sometimes you unlock new people when you play the game very often.  I have improved from with my tips because I got a higher tip on my second attempt

Unfair.

Walt: Analyse the character in a story.

I chose Jamie because in this story she is frustrated and furious. She is 10 years old. Her sister Hannah keeps on making her angry. Jamie’s sister sat around and wasn't looking after Daniel when she meant to. At breakfast Jamie got a brown envelope and inside was 10 dollars. Jamie went to the shop to go buy her something. Then Hannah said that it was unfair. And Jamie said that’s life.

Jean batten

Walt: use our research to write an essay on an inspirational person.

Jean Gardner Batten.

I chose Jean batten for my inspirational person because she was the first solo pilot to fly across the world. She had the courage to be one of the first women to be a solo pilot. She shared her stories and trips with the public and tried to encourage other people to be a pilot so they can experience what she was experiencing. She accepted challenges like trying to beat Amy Johnson’s time to Australia. She had two unsuccessful attempts but she still persevered.

She did not brag or show off about her journeys around the world she just told her stories.  In my opinion she was humble modest. Her inspiration for being a pilot was Charles Kingsford Smith an Australian pilot. Jean Batten’s mum arranged her to fly with Charles Kingsford Smith. One of her solo flight records from England to Brazil was 61 hours and 15 minutes. She still holds that record.

Jean Batten Will be a lot and I wish she could come over to our school and share some of her stories and skills.

  

  

Fraction Millionaire

Today I walt is to multiply fractions. This game that I am playing is fraction millionaire.

The equation that I got was 3/5 x 4/7. The answer that I got was 12 over thirty five. My strategy was to multiply the first two numbers and then multiply the two numbers down bottom. The answer on top is 12 and the answer down bottom was 35. That’s how I got my answer 12/35.  

Prevention is better than cure

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the Public Health Dept.

At our school we had special guests, doctors and the Vodafone Warriors. They were talking about rheumatic fever and  about how  to clean, cut, cover, and wash so the germs will go away and do not come into your skin. A doctor told us what  they do when you get a sore throat. She showed  how to take a swab of a thoat. A Vodafone Warrior was used to demonstrate. He was told to say ahh and to put your tongue out.

After that another special guest talk to us about living with rheumatic fever and his name was Awen Guttenbeil. He was talking about his experience with rheumatic fever. He said to us that he loved playing sport and said when he had a sore throat he was trying to be the big guy and try to not tell his mum or dad about it. Then one day he felt like he was paralyzed because he couldn't move.

His mum and dad took him to the doctor and then the doctor told them to go to the hospital. He had to take a injection for 10 years and stayed in the hospital for a few months. His story was really inspirational. After his story it was finished we went outside and got  autographs and took some photos. But I think the main message is if you get a sore throat you have to tell someone straight away.

 

  

Rap/poem

I'm the youngest in my team
because I play for Miami Heat
I'm nervous but proud because
everybody shouts and cheers
Then the hooter goes off
I shiver with fear.


I'm on the starting five
Then I run on to the court
two go for the jump throw
And then we are off
we get the ball I'm happy in my head
Then they pass me the ball
My eyes turn bright red

I dodge one person with my under leg
I'm unstoppable everyone thinks
Then I think to myself I'm the basketball king.
I make it to the hoop and shoot a three pointer
The buzzer goes off
It's the final quarter.

Were down by two and there's 10 seconds left.
They give the ball
I head straight to the net.
I jump in the air and do a slam dunk
I stay there for a while and then I jump off.

The people go wild they want to see it again.
But  it's the end off the game.
 

Netball poem

Walt : Make a poem

Never give up.

Everyone try your best.

Try and get the ball and shoot it in.

Bring it in the centre and start again then.

Attack the ball and win again.

Losing is really hard to take. But

Love to have fun.

Action Fraction

Walt: Add and subtract fractions with related denominators

In this game I am learning how to add and subtract fractions. In this game you have to click on the right answer so you racecar can go fast and win the race. It gets harder and harder. The answer for this equation is 17/20. My strategy was to first add the two top numbers. and that's how I got my answer 17/20.    

Fractions/ Basic facts.

In this game you have to figure out how many pentagons can you see but in a mixed fraction. My answer is 2 and 2/5 because I counted the first two pentagons that had all of the five pieces to make the pentagon. Then counted the last to and then I figured out that it was 2 and 2/5.

Moneywise

Moneywise

Walt: Write a response to the talk by Evan

On Wednesday 31 of July  we had a special guest called Evan. He was from ASB and was talking to us about how to be good with money. Evan was really interesting to talk to Because he was really fun to. He has taught me a lot of ways how to spend your money. his saying is spend some on you but save some too. I think the experience was really fantastic. I would like to do it again    

Ragge-Taggle chook

Walt: Retell story.

One day after a flood a girl named Robin found a chook that had been following the flood. All of its feathers were gone. The chook looked like a raggle-taggle chook. Robin went to go and show her mum when the mum looked at the chook she screamed with terror. Robin’s mum said that they should wring her neck and her dad said that they should chop its head off.

Robin did not agree. After that she ran at the back of their garden and started to dig and search for worms. Then Robin’s mum said you can keep the chook only if you look after it. Robin’s friends would save  some lunch for the chook and pick bunches of weeds so the chook could make her nest. The chook now lives in a verandah and mum  and dad are now liking the chook because the chook lays eggs for the mum so she can make omelets for dinner.

And dad likes the chook because everytime he comes back from work at night he holds the chook and walks around with it and talks to it. The next day the chook had scratched Mr dick’s peas that he just planted. Robin went over to say sorry but Mr dick said no worries because the chook repaid him with two eggs. Then Mr dick said to Robin that she had a great bird.
