So the question was, The Simi family traveled to Kerikeri on the weekend. The distance from Auckland to Kerikeri is 244km. Mr Simi miscalculated the petrol they needed and only put in enough petrol to last them 3/4 of the way. How many kilometres did they travel before they needed more petrol?. 

So first we had to find out 3/4 of 244km. 

- Why did we have to find out 3/4 of 244km ?

We had to find 3/4 of 244km because the question was how many km did they travel before they needed more petrol?

First we split 3/4 to make it easier for us to solve was 3/4 of 244km was. We broke it down into 1/4. So

1/4 = 61     1/4 = 61    1/4 = 61. ( Now that I have split 3/4, I will now have to find out what each quarter equals to. So.. ) Once we found out what each quarter equals to, we added up the answers because we had to find out how much they traveled before they needed more petrol. 

61 + 61 + 61 = 183km. 

 Now I know that the Simi family traveled 183km before they needed more petrol.

Today's Kiwican.

Today for Kiwican, we had a group discussion about our goals. We discussed how we could improve to reach the levels we want to be or have to be. My goals that I wrote out were:

• Making sure my Architecture tasks have been done and over with.
• Working on my spelling 
• Being more calm
• Focusing on my confidence
• Spending more time with my teacher.

We also learnt to show respect to not just the people around you, but also yourself. When I say myself I mean focusing on your own goals and try achieve to where you want to be. 

I really enjoyed today's Kiwican lesson, it taught not just me but the whole of Room 7 how to show integrity and respect.

W.A.L.T : code on our microbits and mimic a dice. We connected our microbit to our chrome books and used an app called microbit.org. 

Once we coded our microbits to mimic a dice, we then tested it to make sure it was showing the small dots on our microbits. It was such a great experience mimicking a dice onto a thin device. 

Secondly we then coded our microbits to count our steps. We coded it to show how much steps we took with our microbits in our socks. We had to place them on
