Fractions and Percentages

In problem solving we are learning about proportions and rations.

I can solve problems like :Dayvid spent 10 % of this pocket money on a new pencil. What percentage of his pocket money does he have left?If the pencil cost 1.50, how much money would he have ?

Water Safety

Getting our life jacket. 

On Wednesday the 21 of November we did water safety at pioneer pool we learnt how to see if your life jacket fits you. if somebody is hurt in the sea and cool stuff like that.                 

Do stay together                                                  Don't swim away 

Do stay calm                                                       Don't go out of control
Do keep afloat                                                     Don't drown

               

Talking about being safe on the boat.

The Journey

I ran in with Keahn and Bronson by my side waiting for the right group to get in position. Then we danced. Next I was staying in my position just about to walk to the back of the hall, waiting for the cast to finish their lines.  I was off quickly to the lower level singing “We Are the World”. Walking down the stairs in the alleyway, everyone cheering and applauding!

“I was so happy when everyone was clapping”.

Why I like doing the Production, because there are crazy and amazing  ideas and it is really creative, it was fun learning about cities in Brazil like Sao Paulo and Rio De Janeiro.

James K Baxter Inspired Poetry

James K Baxter Inspired Poetry

In writing I have used a poem by James K. Baxter as a starting point to write my own holiday poem. I hope you like it.

Hagley Park was usual enough;

It had, roses that were as red as lava, a playground  that was as fun as an amusement park, a bridge that was very old and even a river that had lots of ducks.

My family, cousins and I did what families do -
Picnicking under the warm sun, playgrounds that made me get excited, swimming in the freezing cold water, and even scaring my aunty and family

Doing nothing important.
