Math

 Today for math me and my group done percentages and fractions this was our problem.

Miriama is making ei' katu. 25% of the ei katu has pink flowers, 1/5 of it has white flowers and the rest of the ei katu is made up of leaves.

what percentage or fraction of the ei katu are going to be leaves. and the answer is 45%, 

this is how we solved it! so first we are given 25%, 1/5, 10% and the rest are leaves

so first we created a box and inside it we will cut it into pieces by converting, so 5 x 20 = 100 so that means it is a whole ei katu, then we will go with 1 x 20 = 20

25% + 10 % + 20% = 55% - 100% = 45%

TADAAAA! 

so 45% are leaves on the ei katu:)

Snow planet

 On a cold freezing day we had a trip to snow planet!, and if you dont mind asking me, the trip was really long!, it felt like it was a 5 hour drive!, when we got there I felt all the laziness kicking in while walking inside the snow planet!.

While we got inside I could already feel the breeze of cold! Blowing in the air “swish swish” I started to feel so excited jumping around like I was at a disco!, then all of a sudden I heard Mrs Tofa” come on guys line up!” I quickly got into my line and waited to get the gear we needed!I asked for boats, gloves and some waterproof pants! So basically that was the gear we needed!I took my gear quickly, sat on a chair and excitedly got ready!.

We all had to enter the room with all the snow and if you tell me it was like sitting in a bathtub of cold ice water, I started to jump around and play with snow!I saw a bunch of kids from my school running towards the entrance heading down to the slide! I started laughing a lot when I saw some kids coming down like they were flash!, CRASH!” I had slipped while running up the hill to have my first try down the slide that was completely covered in snow!, I got back up and I saw one of my friends running up to a different slide and that was way bigger than the slide I was playing on!, I had ran as fast as I could until I had slipped again sliding down the hill!, I got back up and I ran again and luckily I never slipped!!, when I got there “WOWW” it was way stepper than the normal one and it looked a bit scary at first!, I turned and looked to the side and there were these little homes and inside them where bathrooms and that was one of the best designs I have ever seen!, I ran towards the home and looked in the bathrooms. Wow, it was so bright.

Then I got back out of the bathroom and went to line up with the rest of my classmates, I started to get butterflies in my stomach and I felt so much nervous pain coming through then after a couple slide downs I had stopped and had a break sitting on a pile of snow waiting! Then I saw my friends saying we are going to be heading out so what I did was I had collected my floaty and put it back in its own spot and I quickly ran out of the room got changed then headed straight for my bag to eat cause I was so hot and hungry! I had to rush myself to eat and get myself changed!, then we all waited for everyone to clean up their mess and wait outside! Now that we have finished I got on the bus with a blanket and got comfy and ready to go to sleep after the best and tiring day of my life!

“I would love to go back there again!”

Gymnastics!

Today we had our first Gymnastics sessions with our coach Zayde, and we learnt some interesting body positions and developed individual skills. first was (Tuck sit) and that was really easy to do then we done the motorbike landing which was easy then after that we done angry cat then, happy cat, straddle and for the last position was the L sit and that was easy as well let me tell you, my classroom and I had a handstand competition and it was that hardest challenge I have ever done! when we had finished our handstand challenge we moved on to this game where we had to pass the ball but when we do that we have to use the (Tuck sit) and move the ball around the circle but with our feet or legs, and this was a little bit easy if I say so!.

I was so happy and excited that I had got to experience this Gymnastic session with our wonderful coach! - (Zayde)!
