Creating a brochure

Walt: create a brochure

The focus of my brochure is to "stop people from polluting the Omaru Creek." I think that we need a clean creek because it’s more better for the environment and makes the community a bit better.

Dear Mum,

On the 5th of April there will be a drop in cafe and I would very much like for you to attend it. Please do come as for you would learn more about the learning going on in school.

There are different standards (levels) in our learning, however the one I must be on to be at the national standard is 4. Let me explain how this works, for me to be at the national standard my score must be 4A. Even if I’m at that does not mean that I can rest, I know that you don’t want me to so you do not need to give me a lecture. I’m fully aware that you want me to do well.

I do know how I am doing and I think it’s quite acceptable. My levels are good yet we both know that they can be so much better. For Mathematics my e-asttle result was 4A which is good since it states that I am at the national standard. My results for reading is 4A but the best result that I have is for writing which is- 5P.

To accelerate my learning I have learnt a few things from your eldest daughter, Alice. I have also payed a lot of attention while the teacher is teaching, that’s why she calls me a sponge which means- “Everything that she teaches, I soak it up.”

All I need from you is for you to attend the meeting and keep John away from me so that I can focus.

Your loving child

Heather

Tamaki River Family Tree

This is my Tamaki River Family Tree. I had a great time drawing this up. On one of the branches is Omaru Creek, the creek that we are studying.

Reciprocals - Fraction

Today I completed an activity where I had to find the reciprocals. Reciprocals is something I find extremely easy.  It’s just the second fraction from your equation flipped over. I enjoyed doing this activity, I also catched on pretty quickly which. If you want to try this out here is the link.

Omaru Creek metaphor poem - Te Taiao o Tāmaki

Heather is a lumpy grey rock that holds onto rubbish flowing by.

Heather is a tall bulrush that sways from left to right in the breeze.

Heather is a stinky stench lingering through the bushes and into people's nose.

Improper Fractions

Today I was playing a maths game about improper fractions. At first I thought it was just a random improper fraction game yet it was totally different. The game was actually teaching me multiple ways of writing an improper fraction, whether in a mixed number or decimal. I had no knowledge of writing improper fractions in decimal form however now I do. I found this game very helpful since it taught me something new which I understand well and that shows sign of my ACCELERATION!

Swimming sports

Today, Friday 24th of March the senior part of our school had finished up their swimming. Different ages and skills could be seen in the pool. I did not take part yet I did enjoy watching the kids swim.
