My Acrostic Poem

Magnificent

Outstanding beauty inside and out

Thinks about you everyday and night

Honest and truthful to everybody she loves

Encourages my sister and I with love and support

Reliable and rich with love

Kiwi Sport

Today the Senior School had its first Kiwi Sport Session for this term.

Ben, from Auckland Badminton taught us some badminton skills. We used a badminton racket and a shuttle.

We learnt how to hit the shuttle using a fore arm hit and backhand hit. Ben also taught us how to hold the racket using different grips. 

I can't wait for the next lesson! 

Club Activities

I am feeling very excited about taking part in culture

activities at school this term.

Today I picked two culture groups that I want to be in.

My first choice was Samoan and I picked Cook Island as my

second choice.

Solving easy problems

W.A.L.T : solve easy Addition Problems.

583 + 246 = 829

to solve this equation, you can start in the hundred columns.

500 + 200 = 700
80  + 40 = 120
3 + 6 = 9
and of course, add it all up

700 + 120 + 9 = 829

That is how you work out easy addition problems.

My Maths

 W.A.L.T : solve problems using Various Strategies in Maths. 

 Our equation was:    (294 - 167 =) 

  

 you always have to start by the ones columns.

 but as you can see you cant take away 7 from 4..

 

 so you cross the 9 and make it into a 8 and add a 1 near the 4

 and go:

 

   8

 2 9 14 - 1 6 7 = 127  ( and keep going )

 14 - 7 = 7

 80 - 60 = 20
 200 - 100 = 100

 and now add em all up

 100 + 20 + 7 = 127
