My year at the beatilful Pt England School

Sports: My year here at Pt England school, has been great. Playing for the school has been the one of the best schools I've played for. TI have played rugby league, rugby, netball, soccer and softball.  This school has been the most active school with all their sports, meeting new people and following other people

Chromebook:
Being a new student here at Pt England school has been good, especially receiving a chromebook of my own has been amazing. Since I have been using my chrome book my work has been up and going. Having a chromebook this year  has been helpful, for searching up websites, for using to save work.

My Maths Presentation

Serenity EA/AA Term 4 Week 4 Problem Solving

1. Sam was planting fruit trees in his garden. He had 12 trees. How many did he put in each ¼ of the garden?

= 3 because 3 times 4 = 1

2. There were 63 cars in the carpark then 8 had to leave. How many were left?

63 - 8 = 55 because   

63 - 3 = 60 60 - 5 = 55

3.  Tara has cooked up 25 roast potatoes. How many does she put on each of the 5 plates?

= 5 because 5 times 5 = 25  

25 divided by 5 = 5

4. There is a boxing match tonight. Boxer A is more experienced than Boxer B. Bower A has had 469 matches whereas Boxer B has only had 243. How many more matches has Boxer A had than Boxer B?

243 + __ = 469     243 + 57 = 300 + 169 = 469    57 + 169 = 226

226+ 243 = 469

5. At Rina’s school a school hat cost $7. Yesterday the school office had $84 of school hat sales. How many hats did they sell?

84 divided by 7 = 12

which means 7 times 12 = 84

they had sold 12

6. The red soccer team has scored 56 goals over the season so far. The is 7 times more than what the blue has scored. How many goals has the blue team scored in the season so far?

7 times 56 = 380    7 times 50 = 350    

7 times 6 = 30   30 + 350 = 380

7. There are  7 boxes. Each box has 24 tennis balls in it. How many tennis balls are there altogether?

518 because you  24 times divided by 7 =

                                             

8. There are 32 animals at the vet. five-eighths of them are cats. How many is this?

⅝ of 32  8 times 4 = 32 so you put 4 in each of 8 boxes which adds up to 32

Serenity EA/AA Term 4 Week 5 Problem Solving

1.  Tessa has bought 40 mini chocolate bars to put in goodie bags at her party. She has 8 goodie bags. How many does she need to put in each?

= 5 because 5 times 8 = 40 and she puts

5 mini chocolate bars in each goodie bag

2. John has a pizza he has cut into 16 pieces? He eats some then leaves ¾ of the pizza for the rest of the family How many slices did he eat and how many are left for the family?

so john has eaten 4 pizza’s and left 4 more

3. Trevor has to drive 422 km’s. He looks at his odometer and sees he has gone 289 kms. How much further has he got to go?

422 - ? = 289       289 - ? = 422     

289 + 1 = 290    290 + 10 = 300   300 +122 = 422

122 + 10 + 1 = 133

4. The shop is selling sandals for $9 a pair.  They have sold $486 worth of jandals so far. How many pairs have they sold?

= 54 because 9 times 50 = 450

450 + 9 = 540  

5. Sam was giving away some of his marbles. He has 96 altogether. He said to his friend Ben, “You can choose to have  ¼  of them all or ⅔   of ½ of them.” Which should Ben choose?

⅔ because it equals up to 64 which is bigger than ½ of 96 and ¼ of 96

6. The A Softball team has scored 72 goals over the season so far. The is 6 times more than what the B Softball team has scored. How many goals has the B team scored in the season so far?

6 times 12 = 72   the answer is 12

7. 7 of the class are not going on camp. The ¾ of the class are. How many are in the class altogether

8. There are  8 boxes. Each box has 25 apples in it. How many apples are there altogether?

200 altogether because 8 times 20 = 160   8 times 5 = 40 160 + 40  = 200

 

My math strategies, Working out

 Mineus. There were 225 people at the movies than 8 had to leave. How many were left?

225 - 8 = 217    225 - 5 = 220   220 - 3 = 217     

                                                                                                                                     

Fraction. John has a pizza he has cut into 16 pieces? He eats some then leaves ¾ of the pizza for the rest of the family How many slices did he eat and how many are left for the family?

= 4,  4 times 4 = 16 so john has eaten 4 pizza’s and left 4 more

Multiplication.  Tessa has bought 40 mini chocolate bars to put in goodie bags at her party. She has 8 goodie bags. How many does she need to put in each?

= 5 because 5 times 8 = 40 and she puts 5 mini chocolate bars in each goodie bag

Addition. Trevor has to drive 422 km’s. He looks at his odometer and sees he has gone 289 kms. How much further has he got to go?

422 - ? = 289       289 - ? = 422     

289 + 1 = 290    290 + 10 = 300   300 +122 = 422

122 + 10 + 1 = 133

Creative Strand Reflection (thinking hats)

Read hat:

this literacy task was cool to do for this week I had heaps of fun doing this task because we could chose a song in this task.   

Green hat:

this task was very interesting because we could do different shots and from different places like from a corner.    

Black hat:

I enjoyed mostly everything this week but their was one thing that I didn’t enjoyed is that sometimes people just don’t have the guts or in other words don’t do what want to do what the story boards says.

White hat:

I enjoyed working with another person from another class, also dancing with the little kids.

Yellow:

The things that I learnt is to try and not waste time while going out filming also not to change things from the storyboard.     

Blue:

What I need to work on is to spend my time getting people to be in our movie also to things to where its suppose to be like taking shots from the same spot what the storyboard says on it.

Writing Sample

Slumber Party

I knew this slumber party had to be big so I started off by getting the snacks, the beds and the activities ready. All I need now is to invite them over. This was going to be exciting. I was waiting for two of my guests to arrive and a few seconds later two other guests of mine arrived. I knew it was time to start the party. Everybody was awfully excited.

the time was now 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon and everyone was here. The time was ticking by fast and we all got changed into our pj's. We watched all sorts of movies, we ate snacks and played games. Everybody was having so much fun, my older brothers were cleaning up.

One of my brothers fell asleep. Then we sneaked into the room, holding permanent markers and lipsticks. our idea was to draw on my brother’s face. Then I started it of by putting lipstick on his mouth and then drawing loser and  on his face.

We shared out our last chocolate. We went straight to the bathroom to brush our teeth, we cleaned up of mess and went to bed. The next day my brother woke up, went to his course. With a permanent marker on his forehead showing the word LOSER!.

My Slumber party went as well as I wanted it to be. Well not for my brother (Hahaha).

What If... I were a boy?

What if.... I was a boy?

At school to me its like milking a cow but more worse, the sky is never blue or sunny mostly everything is pale nothing is ever fun or cool to do, so if I were a boy I would refresh and make people’s life’s fun!

I would be pulling one of the biggest pranks, I wouldn’t be able to look in front of a mirror when I go inside bathrooms,what girls do.

I would have to always put gell or wax in my hair, I would also play touch on the field or courts, I'll try and not cry like a girl if I fell on the ground. 

If I was an acutual boy I would be the king of Minecraft beat everysingle person in minecraft build my own castel.

So if I were a boy I would be the popular boy in school and also be the meaniset Minecaft king in all of Minecaft. Being a boy for a day or a week will be cool!

personally I feel that

As I climbed the rock my hands started to sweat and then slip of the rock.

I heaved myself up hand up back onto the rock and gripped back onto the rock

I changed my attitude and went for it

I pushed myself up onto the rock and I made it to the top

Quote:

As I climbed the mountain I could feel some sweat dripping down my forehead. When I felt the sweat dripping I said to myself I could make it.

Triathalon

Oh man! another triathlon? I’m devastated.On Thursday the 11th of April rooms 20, 15, and 21 went to the top field to do the triathlon. I was not looking forward to doing it why? cause I might be the only girl going on the water slide again. Anyway when we got there the same three men were there  said “We hope you guys are ready”. The other class was already there. Now it was time to start the triathlon at first room 15 girls went, then it was room 15 boys, then it was our turn for the girls and I was only girl going on the water slide but it was okay so then the man said “Start” and then thats when I’d jumped into the the water slide then I got back up ran around the cone and did it 4 times. Then I got up on my last slide and ran as fast as I can to a bike.

I put on my helmet and then I hop onto the bike I past some girls then I paddled  around the  flags, I got to the transition line then on my way to the transition line my legs start to slip of  the bike. I jump off the bike and start running like I haven’t ran before, I ran and ran in between the cones, I was halfway there I could see Laita already there and Hope in front of me. I was finally at the end, I sat down and had a rest. It was pretty hard but at the end I had fun by sliding down the slide as much as I want and also with some other students, it was fun to have I something like that at the end, last I was proud to be the only girl on the water slide because I had the GUTS!.
