My Picture

School opinion

1 Thing I learnt at school is the order of operations and how they work like you have parentheses first then exponents third is multiply and divide and lastly you have addition and subtraction. For example 2+9+6x9= 65 because 6x9 is first and if we add parentheses to 9+6 it would be 2+(9+6)x9= 137.

1 Thing I need to improve on is my reading on reading plus because the stories are really boring and I have trouble reading boring things.

1 Thing I enjoyed was learning the order of operations and I'm looking forward to learning more today.

DHT Beach Day

W.A.L.T Write with detail.

On Tuesday the 12th of November we went to Otaki beach.
At the beach we met 3 life guards and then went and learnt CPR and about IRB's and first aid.

Then we did a beach clean up for 30 minutes then we went and did the weet bix challenge and the winner was Lee next we played chubby bunny and I won.(P.S stuff the marshmallows at the back of your mouth were your wisdom's pop up.)

Finally we played flags. Flags is a game where you lie down with your feet on a line and your heads on your arms. The caller says heads up , heads down, then GO. The runners then run to grab a flag or a stick will work and there is one less flag than players and each round take a flag away when so a player is eliminated each round till the final two have meet their fate.

We then went swimming and I played in the sand with some other kids and I dug a hole which filled with water and started making a sand castle which had pebbles and bits of shells and sand from my hole. Then I had to fill it in so no one would fall in it.
  Then we went back to school and then went home.

What I enjoyed about this week

1 Thing I enjoyed this week in school was Science Because we did word finds and fun stuff there.
1 Thing I know I need to focus on in class is my reading plus because I am not getting as much correct answers as I used to get.
My goal for next week in class is to get a 2 combos in reading plus.

Marlborough sounds

On my end of term 3 holidays I went to Marlborough sounds in the south island with my family and we went on the interislander ferry that left Wellington and stopped at Picton. We stayed in Havelock from Monday after noon to Thursday at 12 P.m.
There we went kayaking and swimming on the second day.
On the third day we went to Pelorus river and went for a walk.
On Thursday we packed up and left for home.          <-- Marlborough sounds.
