Decimals.....

We are learning to:

Explain what decimals actually are and how they link to fractions and percentages.

What decimals are.....
decimals are part of a whole.

the decimal point separates (on the left) the wholes, (on the right) the parts of the wholes.

We use these deci pipes for decimals and we use them to make the decimal.

100,100ths make a whole.

2 wholes are 2.0

=Whole Hundredth=

ten,tenths make a whole

1,0000,1,0000th make a whole

=Tenths     Thousandth=

Read and identify decimals to two decimal places.

explaining:

  I can read how many wholes,tenths,hundreds and thousands there are in a decimal

There is 2.989  

2 whole

9 tenths

8 hundredths

9 thousandths

There is 2.699   

2 wholes

6 tenths

9 hunderdths

9 thuosands

                       

 

 




 

Order decimals to three places

Decimal : 6.345 ,6.79

ordering decimals: 6.79 - 6.345

 

This is how I did it .

On both of the decimals on the wholes they have 6. - 6. they are the same but when you come to the tenths they are different it is 6.7 - 6.3 but you already know state away that 6.79 is bigger because tenths are bigger than hundredth and thousandth and 6.345 doesn't.

MY KITE VIDEO!!

MY KITE!!

For my kite I wanted to use a Garbage bag because I thought it would be a interesting to see a kite fly make out of a garbage bag,What led me to using a garbage bag is that the websites that I look at all have the same great material so that means I validated it and because i have never ever seen a kite made it out of      garbage bag and the material is light and a little easy to fly.

            Shape,Size and Design the shape of my kite now is a diamond but before my shape of my kite was a bow shape because I like bows but the bow shape didn't work out so now i have gone with a even better shape that will work better when its is flying because the kind of shape is a very strong that keeps the kite together. Size, the size of the kite is, the length is 63 cm height and the width is 47cm across because I don't want to have a kite to big because it might get heavy.Design,the design has to be strong because it doesn't all apart and i made my kite strong.

Cats Are Ugly

Cats Are Ugly

I  think cats should be banned they are disgusting.

Cats are dangerous!!!. Cats kill all our lovely native birds and we need lovely native birds in New Zealand. They scratch and there teeth are sharp and they can or could bit!!

Cats are stupid and very silly. They have nine lives and they make bad decisions. 

But they have nine lives and they just start wasting them,they are stupid!!

Cats TRESPASS!!. Cats eat all your food and they leave their mess behind them. 

They could come in to your house and ripe all your pillow’s!!

Conclusion/Summary

Cats shouldn’t be aloud to wonder around everywhere. They should be banned!!

As I pick up the prize more sparkly fluff started bursting out just like a volcano.But I was still thinking what will I do with it,well it not pretty,sparkly and soft anymore,I can not play with it so it just going to have to lay on my bed forever.

And after days and days of the toy just laying on my bed I couldn't take it anymore I had to carefully slide it under my bed,as say to myself I don’t need you anymore…..

Cute Little Bunny Rabbit!!

Once upon a time there was a little bunny rabbit called Rosie she lived in a big hole with all her family.
The rabbit family loved to explore.Rosie went out to play one day and all of a sudden Rosie heard this weird noise from the bushes she creeped towards it and then she got a brush of wind on her nose.
 Rosie was thinking to herself should I follow the noise or should I stay where I am,But guess what she did she had to follow the noise she came across a funny looking cave that was pitch black but she went into the pitch black cave and got a fright and hopped as far away from the cave as she could,But were she ended up she didn’t know, she needed help,” what should I do now”?she said.....

Dame Keri Te kanawa

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa

On thursday night I Had the opportunity to present flowers to Dame Kiri Te Kanawa on stage after her performance. After the performance I had the chance to have a photo with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and she signed a book for me too.

NYLD

My dad had wake me up I couldn't see a thing at 5am in the morning my hands were all numb and it felt like I was in arctic and well all I could hear was the clock going ticktock, ticktock . Everyone else was in bed but of course not my dad. I jumped out of bed then luckily all I needed to do is to slip on my clothes and shoes because I had already done everything…

Finally I got to school so I got out of the car and said goodbye to Dad then walked over and all I could see was people that are going to young leaders boys and lots of girls.Everyone waited to till the bus was here and the rest of the people that are coming to young leaders.I waited with my friends for minutes and minutes just waiting for the bus to come…

Yes the bus came so we all got on the bus and sat where we are going to sit for the whole trip. We were singing songs in our head la, la, la, la, la for half of the trip I saw the sunset it was so pretty  It was even my pretty than my dog.All a sudden I saw evette pulling out her lollies so I thought maybe I should pull out my lollies too.I dipped my hand into the soft and smooth lollies I pulled the lollies out and put it in my mouth mm…

Yay we got to Palmerston North now everyone out of the bus and line up.We started to walk towards young leaders woow I feel like a Queen it is was sooo big.We walk up the stares and mores stares and guess what came up next “MORE STARES”. After walking up all those stares my legs were soo tired but wait the show is about to begin…

Great the first speaker she was called Angela Swann she was one of the air force people she was the first Maori woman that was a captain. Hear phrase was the sky was the limit

she is my favorite speaker because she inspired me to dream big.

Awesome the second speaker Jamie Fitzgerald he is a explorer he has went/walked  to arctic and he can inspire a lot of people if he talks lots in NYLD. His phrase was if you want something never stop try (don’t give up) make you dream expanded more and you will love your life.

Yay the next speaker is Charlie Laumatia he was talking about who are you,does anybody know how to say your name.He was a very funny person he is probably the funniest person I have ever seen.His phrase was make the right choices don’t make the bad ones and friends can help you if you just ask.

Great Cam Calkoen is the next speaker. So Cam Calkoen was a runner for nz but he had cereal palsby be he never gave up on his dream try achieve more. His phrase is aim for big aim for awesome maybe even better than awesome think who you want to be. Don’t let people get in the way of your dream.

The NYLD was finished and it was time to drive all the way back to New Plymouth and again more singing la, la, la ,la , la . Yes more lollies but wait I forgot don’t forget about mcdonald's mmm mmm mmm .We arrived at mcdonalds and had all the yummy food that we had ordered then had to get back on the bus and drive the rest of the way back to school. some people were singing and sleeping but we finally arrived back at school at the time of 8 pm we jumped out of the bus and jump into our own car and started to head home.

Trip To Devon

Yesterday on the 13th of May room 11,10,9 and 8 went to Devon to experience what intermediate was like and what they do. We walked to the bus and drove all the way to Devon.The bus was wobbling and every time we went round a corner I would nearly fall out of my seat. Finally we got to Devon so then the classrooms had to chose 2 things they wanted to do out of………….

Wood tech, Metal tech, Music and Food tech.

I got chosen for music. In music we played the ukulele,Our teacher in music was Mrs Gray she  tort us how to play Old Mcdonald and Mrs Gray tort us were to strum and were the number are on the ukulele. These are the numbers she tort us for old Macdonald .

This is the first string number one  000           44220

This is the second string number two      0220  .

After that Mrs Gray tort us how to sing to a song called bear necessities from the jungle book.

When I finished doing music all the classrooms walked back to the bus and again it was   wobbling,when we went round the corners. When the classrooms got back on to the bus it was already home time already because it was a half day so that means everyone went home.

CAMP the wort parts,good parts

The worst part of camp.Me,Poppy,Brylee were getting ready for bed we were so excited to get into our sleeping bags but all a sudden i saw a spider just walking across the sleeping bags but its as tiny as a crumb. I jumped out side so quick that you wouldn`t of noticed that i left ,i called Mr A over and said in a terrified voice “THERE'S A SPIDER IN THE TENT PLEASE GET IT OUT “.So i jumped back in and again a SPIDER oh come on i said to myself after that we finally got into our sleeping bags,we keep thinking that spiders is going to walk all over us when we are sleeping.well the best part of camp for me was being with my friends and doing the activities the best activities ever was river safety,flakes flowers,raft making,well mostly every active why i liked  being with my friends is because i get to know more about them.  And i learn a new thing every day one thing i learnt about going down a river always be prepared when your going down a river and lie back with your toes pointing up in the air and you arms sculling.I was showing curiosity when the teachers were talk to us about what we are going to do next and what we are going to do tomorrow  and i wasn't talking to my friends and when my group was playing the sheep game we were listening to other peoples ideas like two claps are move ford three steps.

How can i improve my questions

I have to keep traveling number to number to improve my questions.

I need to remember to use key words and phrases when i do my questions.

Camp

CAMP 

Yay camp room 10&11 are going on camp to Tupare Gardens. We have to sleep in a tent, Every night every one is thinking what we are going to do next but the only thing we know is that we are going swimming in a swim hole BUT what is a swimming hole?.When it rains we will have to stop the activities  and go to are tents and its not very fun when its raining you don't have any thing to do but talk because this year room10&11 are not allowed to bring are own 3ds or iPod or anything electronic.

I am nervous about camp when its night time i feel ants are crawling all over me and something is on the top of the tent but i really like to go on holidays and explore Tupare Gardens but its not a holiday its still  school for work.I wonder what we will be eating at camp for tea i think maybe its a BBQ yummmmmm. The best part of camping is setting up the tent for some people it is not but for me it is because when you use the tent alot you will already know how to do it.

I want to find out info about Tupare Gardens how long has Tupare Gardens stood? or how did it happened?
does Tupare Gardens have a river near by?. And in room 10 we are learning how to make and know what a virtual tour is and we are going to make it at camp.And i want to know how big is the camp ground ?:).
