Term 3 week 10

Mats : in maths we have been learning how to convert a decimals into percentages and use the percentages to make fractions. I find this easy but sometimes it can be hard to. I think it is a good challenge for me.

Reading : in reading we had to do 10 sentences about words to show that we know what they mean. This didn't take to long since I knew what the words meant. sometimes this can get a bit boring. So I find this easy.

Blogger : We have been told up lode so much blogs this week, I think I have uploaded 9 (concluding this one) It took awhile to get most of them done. Others were easy to finish. Other took a looooooooong time.

Term 3

Term 3

My favorite part of term 3 was definitely production because it was SO fun. Maths was pretty fun as well. In math we did a lot of hard stuff like decimals and fractions and percentages. I found maths really fun and easy. I've learnt A LOT from all the subjects but maths is my favorite subject is ... MATHS.

Achievements : In week 8 we did our production witch I was REALLY nervous. But I thought I did great. I also came second at the Waipa gym sports. I love gymnastics so it was really fun. Me, Ella D
and Gracie were the only people to go for our school. I'm at list R which is really high up for year five.

In writing we have learnt how to use similes and meteors correctly. I like writing but sometimes it can get a bit tricky.

I found playing the keyboard fun, It was a bit hard though. Still overall it was fun learning how to play the keyboard. I hope next year we get to do this again because I will get to try another instrument.

SPEECH

My Speech

I bet you like bees, but you’re scared of them stinging you. Did you know that no bees, and when I say no bees I mean absolutely no bees, would mean the end of world? And I know, it  sounds intense but it’s true. No bees equals no us! Did you know we would only survive 3 years without bees?                              

Well to help bees we need to feed them, bees eat bee balm, snapdragons, foxglove and hosta in the summer. Bees like to hang around some certain plants, such as black eyed, lavender, marjoram, stonecrop and goldenrod only to name a few. Bees favourite flowers to hang around is lavender and marjoram.  Now you know how to make a bee friendly garden.

Last week we were running around our garden and all of a sudden a bee came out of nowhere, and everyone ran off not because my brother was chasing them but because the bee was cashing them across the lawn, While i’m just standing there watching them run across the lawn, hopelessly waiting for the bee to stop chasing them. Eventually when my sister was to tired to run anymore, she stopped and then the bee flew around her for a while but then the bee flew away. So that goes to show if you bother the bee the bee will bother you.

Well bet you didn’t think this most of our food will be gone. For example almonds. All almonds won’t exist. California produces around about 2.1 billion pounds of almonds every year. This supplies 80% of the global demand for almonds. Almonds depend entirely on bees to pollinate the almond trees, it's that simple no bees no almonds. There are other foods like chocolate, coffee and apples.

What is killing bees? I’ll tell you it’s pollution, such as harmful gasses, dust and smoke which enters into the air. This air pollution is killing bees. Bees don’t see very well, and depend a great deal on their sense of smell to lead them flowers bursting with pollen. According to research bees are finding it intensely difficult to locate flowers due to high levels of air pollution that interferes with the flowers scent.

Well now you know how to take care of bees and what will happen without them. So remember we must remember to take care of these little creatures and that they are a giant part of the ecosystem. So now will you be scared if you hear a bee buzz by?

Reflection Week 6 Term 3

Maths: in maths we did decimals and learnt how to use a algorithm to add decimals. I found this easy and fun, I didn't like decimals at the start, But now I find them fun and a good challenge for me. We had follow up question that we had to make up. I liked doing this because some people made there questions hard so that was a good challenge.

Production: well after morning tea we went to the hall to do production. I'm in the first dance (the class room scene) we have been going over the production constantly.

PRODUCTION

My Role : In the production I was a school kid, our scene was on in the first 10 minuets. After that I just had to wait 35 (ish) minuets till its finished.  This is a pic of me

I found the bit that we had to move the chairs the hardest. My favorite part is where we do the who let the dogs out, and the final song. I think it was fun... Next time i'll try out for a speaking part.

My Costume was simple, I needed a school t-shirt and black shorts/pants. I think we look cool. So overall I enjoyed it.

Reflection week 9 Term 3

Maths: In maths we did A LOT of Mathlectics. and we also learnt how to convert a improper fraction into a mixed fraction. We did a worksheet on it, I found this fun and easy to do but some of them were hard. It was a good challenge for me.

Gym sports: On Wednesday I went to Hamilton to represent the school. I can 2nd on the vault, 3rd on the floor, 3rd on mat and 3rd overall, I also got a bronze meddle for it. So I did pretty well.

Production : Production was GREAT I didn't mess up or do the wrong move. It was so fun most of my family came I loved it. Although our dance was first and then we just have to wait to the end it was fun to watch.
