Some of my fraction work

 I made this small slideshow to show an example of using fractions in the real world :D.

My pets

 I have lots of pets such as two dogs, more horses than I can count, but the one I love most is my cat Murray. He used to be a stray cat but one day when he was just four weeks old he came crying at our door in 2018. My mum opened the door and let him in the house. We fed him for a few days and then my dad said he would get adopted by someone else. I cried a lot. So much that my dad let us keep him. We assumed he was a domestic short-hair because that is a common type of stray cat.

He got to name him though. One time I went into the bathroom he was staying in and he was peeing ontop of Emma's potty. He loves eating meat and always jumps up on our bench and eats our food. He likes sleeping in my room and a box. He always scratches on my door really late at night asking to be let in and it wakes me up. He likes hunting birds and rabbits during the day. Something he doesn't like is being picked up when he's in a playful mood. Usually he's fine with it and calm but when he's playing he'll scratch your arms off.

Jean Batten Activities

 On Friday, August 6th, we dedicated a day to Jean Batten Activities to beat the record of other classes. My group consisted of Me, Jess, and Lilley. We were called GER pronounced j-er. The first activity we got was to find a picture of Louis Blériot. I think it was the easiest one of them all as we were the first ones done with a time of 2-3 minutes. The longest group took 20. We didn't really need any skills other than being able to follow instructions and clues.

When we did the morse code we got the answer right the first time but ordered the letters wrong. The words were 'Arrives Mangere' which is a place in Auckland, New Zealand. Then there was a code with numbers to solve what the time was when she landed. Eg. 123654 are not in the number, 789 three numbers are right but in the wrong place and so on. We had to use problem solving skills to figure out that she landed at 5:00PM. We got it after a while and then a group stole our answers. 

Making buzz planes was pretty easy because all we had to do was connect a few wires but the whole class needed help from next door to make them vibrate.Our group and Jorgias group collaborated because theirs broken. We decided to both our batteries on one car. I think that made a big difference. Our plane was the fastest by far. We needed a little bit of techinical skills and problem solving for this. 

Overall we came fourth with 2 first places in the activities.

Goals for Term 3

My math goal for Term 3 is to expand my times table knowledge so I can do my 15x 16x 17x 18x and 19x. I already know everything below that so I just want to be abe to do all my times tables up to 20x. I'm decent at remembering numbers so it shouldn't be painfully hard. I need to be able to do that because I'm already pretty good at the other ones so I need to move on.

My writing goal is to have longer sentences as mine are always to short. My sentences need to be longer because otherwise my story will get boring. My reading goal is to pay more attention and to not skip lines because I tend to accidentally do that then the whole sentence doesn't make sense. I need to do that so I can understand what I'm reading better and faster.

My group work goal is to be more cooperative and involve other people and not just do the whole thing by myself because I do that and it gets stressful. I need to do that so the other people learn to. Finally, my personal goal is to be more social with my family. I need to do that so I don't become ultra-antisocial. Also I go to bed from 9:30PM-10:00PM. I think that it a reasonable time because I wake up at 6:30AM which is 8 hours I think.

Jingle Bells Piano

I got the link to the video for Kiwi Jinge bells so it will probably work.

My Kiwi Jingle Bells (SLJ)

This is a re-writing of Kiwi Jingle Bells by The Polkadots. I hope you like it! I put heaps of ffort into learning the chorus of Jingle Bells by ear on the piano.
