An Inspiring Visitor

It was surprising news when Mr Hendricks told rooms 11 and 12 that we were having a special visitor. Mr Hendricks explained to us about Muskan Devta and why she was at our school. Once our conversation with Mr Hendricks was over we were all to be assembled in room 11 while he invited her in. When she walked into room 11 she introduced herself like all visitors do. Muskan Devta describe her life in a positive and negative way. She explained how she was born with partial hemiplegia disease. In fact in primary school everyone treated her differently from the rest of the students, and how she had no friends therefore every morning tea and lunch time she would always roam around the school or go to the library. But as she grew older and went into intermediate everything changed due to how much confidence she had in herself. She started having friends, and she also became class captain, and even better a radio journalist as well. She says she had a lot of blessing due to how much confidence she had in herself that year. The most inspiring thing about Muskan was the fact that even though she had partial hemiplegia she still didn't give up in school even if she didn't have friends she never gave up. After having Muskan at our school I learnt that you should always be confident and have a positive attitude and as long as you have these two you can do anything.

Maths 99 or BUST

Term-3 Week-4.

In maths class this week we have been taught how to play a game called  99 or bust . In this game we have to draw three columns and at the top of each column you have to write Ones, in the next column write tens and then hundreds . The teacher will throw the dice 7 times and with each of those numbers our job was to write each of those numbers in a column. It was our choice where we would put it and when we finish putting it in each column we had to add all our numbers up . The main aim of this game is to get a number below 99 there was only one rule and that was to not go over 99 if we do then we are bust. The top three students with the lowest numbers win.

hundred	Tens	ones
	2	2
	2	4
	1	1
	Total:50	Total:7

In total I didn't go bust.
If you would like to play this game all you would need is.
1 dice.
a maths book and
someone to play with.
Its a very easy game and it also helps with your adding...

Fractions

For the last couple of weeks room 12 have been learning about fraction of a set.
We each were given an equation and we were to write the answer and also see the way we got the answer. My equation was Rachel had 20 flowers and she wanted to plant one quarter of them in each row. I had to work out how many rows she would plant and this is how I worked it out.
I knew that 20 divided by 4 was 5 therefore one quarter of 20 would be 5.
I though that this was really easy because I knew my multiplication ....

Mini Chunky Minions

For term 2 room 12's focus for writing is persuasive writing. We were given a topic to do a advertisement about persuading people to buy my cookies. And in this advertisement we had to have a Slogan, Mini Chunky Minions it had to be big and bold.  This is my advertisement! 

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

MY DREAM FOR AOTEAROA

Netbook refection

It really feels good to have a netbook  to work with. This  has really made a change in my learning. Last year, without these interesting netbooks, I worked really really slow like a sloth in the tree. I worked slow in everything like writing, reading, maths and also topic. But  I was mostly  slow in doing my writing. I never finished my writing in time and my teacher always glares at because I never finished in time for him to mark it. But now, with my netbook, I finish everything on time.

With my netbook it helps me comment on blog,s it help me to blog  and it also help me learn to create  pictures and music.

My lovely netbook also helps me research online. It also help me to make fantastic movies. We didn't only make movie but we also made a cool as cartoon.

Without my netbook I don't know what my learning would be like. I would probably still be slow as a sloth in the tree.

This is how much my netbook really means to me. My netbook is the best thing every ever.
