Reading activities

Hey bloggers, for reading my reading group had an activities in a book and we had to choose a any reading book to read, then we had to choose an activity and try to get four in a row I have not got a four in a row yet. The first  book that I read was called fruit I did two activities on that then the second one I read was called Ice cream, I have only done one activity on the ice cream. I found out... at the 1904 world fair in the USA Ice cream was being sold in dishes next to a man making crisp waffles and he rolled up the crisp flat waffles into cones and filled them up with ice cream- Ice cream cones .


In 1784 in America president Washington liked ice cream so much he bought a cream machine.


In 1846 the invention of an ice cream machine by an american woman Nancy Johnson that meant for ice cream could be made in a shorter time soon more ice cream could be made in a shorter time, soon more ice cream was able to be bought 


This is the poem that I made up... Red fruit, green fruit 
purple fruit, blue fruit
sour, sweet, seedling fruit 
Those are just a few 
Dragon fruit, wait what dragon fruit?!
apple bananas berries, yum!

The New Refurbishment Hub

Yesterday we moved into a new hub that they have been working on to build well basically fixing and redoing it into a BRAND NEW HUB from the old junior hub Weka, Kea and Pukeko and it looks amazing I LOVE IT.  It looks huge but it is the same size as it use to be.  There is a yellow room, green purple and aqua and don't forget the Library. it looks sooo cool. My Favorite part is the yellow room because it is quite bright and pretty.The most thing that I am worried about is people dropping their rubbish and making it dirty. I hope you guys are having are great day! Bye that was the new refurbishment senior hub.

Fidget Spinner Persuasive Writing

SPINNERS!

Kia Ora,
A fidget spinner is a Device that keeps spinning. They have only been popular in Gilberthorpe school for only this term.  I am Opposed to Cons

*We had to write a story about a Persuasive fidget spinner writing I chose Cons (No) and my Writing I think fidget spinners should not be allowed at school because....... They are distracting, noisy  and you could loose it, other people might have the same and you might want a turn on someone fidget spinner and you might cause an argument and it might get taken off you!!!!!  They are also expensive
other people  adding onto mine: they might get stuck in your hair and break if they are plastic, you can lose them while you are playing,
                                                 
                                             !!!So do not bring fidget spinners!!!

Learning Fractions

In Rata we were learning fractions and we played a game about fractions we all had a card and we had a fraction and a who has .......  And it goes in an order for the card A,B,C and keeps going until the person that has A is back to the start again, it is really fun!  Here is an example 1/2 is half 1/4 is a quarter and 1/8 is one 8th so
if you had 1/6 one sixth the first number is the numerator and the bottom one is the denominator you sat it like this de...nom...i...nat...or and the other one is like this nu...mer...at...or...  and fractions are fun when you get ti know them it is hard when i first started i had NO IDEA how to do them, now i do! here is a picture of some fractions and how they work. So first you count all of them and then you count the shaded parts so  the yellow one will be 3/1 the first one means all of the parts and the shaded will be 1 so..............3/1
Hope you have been inspired to do this!

Timernook

SUP BLOGGERS!!
Yesterday  Gilberthorpe went to Timbernook!!
It was so fun, we got to do loads of things there was a river that was flowing along the start where you walk in, it was nice time!
Here is my writing about Timbernook!
Here is the google maps of Timbernook if you want to go! https://www.google.co.nz/maps/place/TimberNook/@43.2378163,-71.0575214,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x88d9c2a3f065e2b1:0xe7f1669b843c672c!8m2!3d43.2378163!4d-71.0553327 
Yesterday the whole of Gilberthorpe school went to Timbernook! It was AMAZING!! We could do anything we want but you had to be nice about what you did there was clay, making flower crowns , pancakes and hooler hoops it was absolutely FUN! The first thing I did was making a flower crown out of real flowers it turned out to look amazing. We made huts and made things out of clay it was so cool! Also we had a war and there were tribes I was the rainbow one and when we made our hut everyone came and stole all of our things so we had to move, we moved like about 5 times in one day.  After that I played with the clay and made something and I let it to dry and you know what happened……..
It was GONE!! Then after that I could not find keisha I said “Keisha, keisha” I found her in the trees it was funny. But sadly it was time to go back to school but it was a very fun day!
Here are some photos of timbernook!!!

Poem Writing

Hey People!
Rata Class is learning how to do poem writing and it is so fun you have to make rhyme words and words that start with the same letter it is ABSOLUTELY cool you also have to make it up yourself!
You also have to make a screencastify of you saying it with this clicking noise. The hardest part in it was making the rhymes and making it start with the same letter.  I like doing it because it is interesting and it help you rhyme and I think it helps you in your learning to make a poem.

MAGICAl FLOWER

Hey wanna go to dance party I said as me and keisha walked along the beach then suddenly keisha’s phone rang and I walked away without knowing keisha was still on the beach and then  I went to a dance party and shouted “WHOOOOOOO!”
Then I said “oh no where is keisha!?” I saw skyla at the dance party too.

Keisha walked on the mountains and said,  “Hey is that a flower?”  it was a sunflower as she picked it up suddenly she started to fly in the air and BOOOOOOOOOM! she was where her friends were but that did not solve the problem skyla was not home yet but it was my birthday!

Then I got a huge present and it was a unicorn it might help to get skyla home keisha said.
But the unicorn did not have a name what name could it be said skyla! Emalea said “it could be Emalea the 2nd that is a good name anyway I am Emalea!” Then I started to laugh and then keisha and then skyla!   

Afterwards Emalea the 2nd flew away with skyla and went thru the sky and landed on the front yard and then Skyla went inside luckily it was my birthday Emalea thought. But then how would Emalea the 2nd get back home, can she keep her she thought………. Hey good bye  skyla said as she flew away on the unicorn!!!!!!!

Juggling

Hey guys!
For writing we had to do a speech writing  on how to do something about our reading I did juggling. Here is my Writing
Hey readers!
Today I am going to tell you about how to juggle.
I have been learning a lot on how to juggle, it will take a lot of practice!
Do you know how to juggle?
I  have been reading this book on how to juggle and searching up lots of ways how to juggle.
If you like you could try juggling yourself!!
Step 1.  The first thing you need to learn how to juggle is grab a ball then start chucking it to you hands and keep doing that and try to catch it.
Then you add another ball and do the same thing it might be hard or not, after you have got the hang of it you could start going faster than you might get the hang of it, you might get the hang of it.
        Here are the steps on how to learn to juggle           
Maybe you might learn how to juggle these steps
Step 2. Then do the same thing but add another ball if you are confident. If you want to have more of a challenge do it with your eyes closed.  Now you have two balls if you want get three
Step 3. Then do the same thing but add another ball if you are confident. If you want to have more of a challenge do it with your eyes closed.  Now you have two balls if you want get three
Step 4. Practice lots and lots! If you are struggling start from 1 ball again the throw it to the other hand and keep on doing it then if you want get 2 balls then you have three and chuck two balls up in the air and catch the two balls with one hand and the other ball with the other hand if you are right handed catch two balls in the right hand  if are left handed do the opposite.  Go on slide 7 to see how to juggle with three TADA!!!! Sooner or later you might learn how to juggle.

With oxygen and other gases forming less than 0.4%.

Math is fun!


At maths time today we had to go on a site called math is fun.  I don't really know my seven times tables so I am trying to learn them.  My goal is to say an answer or the right answer in four seconds! 

This my math work from today.  I am confident in my ones, twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes, eights, nines, tens they are pretty easy! I need more work on my elevens and mt twelves.  Here is the link to math is fun  https://www.mathsisfun.com/timestable.html        

I think it is fun and I can do my nine times tables in two or three seconds.

Mathletics

Today In maths time I went on a site called mathletics and I went on Venn Diagram it is great!
Venn Diagram is when you put the same last number to the number say there was 5 and the only numbers were 15 55 40 you will put the 55 and the 15 into the circle and the odd ones left into the middle.





This one is when I was about to start and when I finished I only got a couple wrong. I figured out the question by putting one number with the number 3  and put 3 in it and then do one in the teens and one in the tens.  

I think this was not really easy because I have never done it before.Venn diagrams are io sort the numbers out. You see there is 5 and 3 you put the ones with 5 in the 5 column and then put the mixed ones into the middle.

How to play Scatterball

                Kia ora!
                                           At writing time we got taught how to play Scatter ball.  We had to make                                       instructions for a game.  This is what I did.  It was hard I guess.
                                   If you had to pick a game to write instructions for what will it be?
                            My game was scatter ball I have never played this game before have you?
                          It was my first time ever playing it, it was SUPER FUN! 
Here are the instructions:



I think the hard bit was when I had to do the diagram because I had no idea because I could not find the right shapes. This is how to win: if you are in the thrower's team if you want to win you have to throw the balls low to the ground. If you are in the fielders team you will need to catch the balls and keep an eye on them.

What is st Patrick's day for?

Hey people!
I am learning about st  Patrick's day.
I wondered what it was for since it was coming up.
This is what I learnt.
 For St  Patrick's day they have a global celebration of Irish culture on or around about march 17th. It particularly  remembers St Patrick, one of Ireland's patron saints, who ministered Christianity in Ireland during the fifth century.
                                                        This is what I learnt.
        I hope you enjoyed!
           Did you know any of this?
              Blog you later.

I don't like: Mayonnaise Bananas NO INTERNET when there is no POWER I  absolutely hate the sound of a chalkboard when someone scratches it and bees jam flies, bread,

Why is the grass green?

I am learning about grass and I wondered why is the grass green.  Like many plants, most species of grass produce a bright pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs blue light (high energy, short wavelengths) and red light (low energy, longer wavelengths) well, but mostly reflects green light, which accounts for your lawn'color.

Why is there a Leap Year?

I am learning why there is a leap year.  A common  year has 365 days and a leap year 366 days, with the extra, or intercalary, day designated as February 29.  A   leap year occurs every four  years to help synchronize the calendar year with the solar year, or the length of time it takes the earth to complete its orbit about the sun, which is about 365¼ days.
