Learning Spanish!

                                         Learning Spanish...

 My passion project. I am learning Spanish, I'm really enjoying it and I find it kinda easy (so far)!  I've learnt how to introduce myself and how to have a conversation with someone.  I'm learning it on Duo Lingo, which I find very helpful.

Here is an example of what I've been learning...

Hola, que tal?                         Muy buen gracias!  

Como te llamo?                      Mi llamo es Zara.

Adios, mucho gusto!              Adios!

Maramataka

                                                   Maramataka

Nights in the Maramataka the Māori lunar month. The Māori lunar calendar is called the Maramataka, which literally means the turning of the moon. It marks the phases of the moon in a lunar month. 

What I've been learning about in maths!

Yesterday in Sharon's maths group we did a really fun learning method that I enjoyed.

We have been learning about probability and chance, yesterday we used 2 dice to learn.  We had to find out what number would we get the most when we roll the dice.  Me and my group figured the answer would be 7 because there are more ways of adding up numbers that make 7 on the dice.

Last week we did a different activity that involved basketballs.  It was really fun, we had 10 shots to get the ball in the hoop, we had to see how many times we could get it in the hoop out of 10.  I got 3, the highest score in the group was 8 out of 10.  Then we answer some questions that I can't remember.

Today at TECH!

                                           TODAY AT TECH!!

Today at tech we  started making our pillows, first we had to pin the fabric together so it would stay put.  Then we had to get a small peace of fabric to test sewing on, once we done that we sewed our big fabric together leaving a small hole that we can use to put the stuffing inside.

I really enjoy sewing at tech, but it can be a bit difficult sometimes though, once you get the hang of it, it can be easy.  I'm excited to see what my pillow is going to be like when its finished.  

community challenge

                                 COMMUNITY CHALLENGE

                                                   for william pike challenge...

Me and two of my friends are doing our community challenge together, we each did some baking.
I made blueberry choc chip muffins, Kiwa made brownies and Eden made gluten free M&M cookies.

We took our baking to school the next day, we packaged them up in brown paper bags, and put small notes on them to say whats inside.  After we packaged them up we took them down to the community fridge here in Brighton, there was already some people there waiting to pick up some food, they looked happy to see that brought some food there.

It felt really good that people really appreciated what we did, I will most definitely do it again.

Maths prove it.

What happens when you multiply a number by 0, 1 or 10.

• When you multiply any number by 0 it will make 0, no matter what number it is.

0 x 456 = 0

• when you multiply a number by 1 it stays the same number that you multiplied it by.             1 x 87 = 87

• When you multiply a number by 10 you just have to add a  0 at the back of the number.     76 x 10 =760   

Teach term 2

                                                            Tech term 2...

Today at tech, we all had to change classes.  My group did sewing first then we did digital,
for sewing we didn't do much, our teacher Miss J showed us how to use a sewing machine.
She showed us were to put the string and how to turn it on and stuff like that.

After morning tea we went to digital, at digital our teacher wasn't there she, but she is coming next week ( because our original teacher wasn't there we had a different teacher) first she told us to make a 2D circle look like its 3D, which was hard.  Then we went on the computers and went  on this app were we made 3D objects on the computer it was really fun.  I'm really happy with what I got for tech, I wonder what we're going to do at digital next week.
