ISLAND BREEZE PERFORMANCE !!

Today on Friday the 27th on October Island Breeze came to peform for our school. Having Island breeze to perform was so cool beacuse it was nice seeing people embrace their culture. I really liked the the crowd interaction. The music was out standing and the presence just felt like the islands. I also loved how they made us laugh especially the M.C. They said alot of motivational words but I think the main one was we are all unique. They would always find a way to try make us laugh. I enjoyed it and I am very thankful for them coming to our school.

Maths/Numbers

Did you know that there are different types of numbers ? We also learnt that finite means limited and infinite means unlimited. There is a thing called whole numbers and it’s basically just number 0 counting forwards. Counting/Natural number means counting 1 sforward. Integers are negative and positive number counting backwards and forwards. Irrational are numbers or fractions that are continous when expressed as a decimal. Rational numbers have a definite end when expressed as a decimal. Real numbers are all of these combined. This is what we learnt today for maths. It was pretty interesting and a little bit fun getting to learn new things.

Inference Task Cards

Today I completed a inferencing task. We have to do this when we are not with teacher. This task helps us to warm up our skills on inferencing. We had to answer the questions with what we inferenced in the text. Doing this inferencing task was really interesting and helped me gain mor skills on inferencing.

Probability Games

For maths this morning team tui and I learnt about probability using games. Some games included some math into it. The first game we played was blocko. To play blocko you have to have a paper, pencil, blocks and some dices. Then we got split into three groups and there was three rotations of games. My group started off with flip the cardes then we went to flip the bottle lastly we went to greedy pig. Then we played two other games to finish it of. Overall this was really fun I wish we would always learn stuff like this.

Using Charts

For maths our level 4 group was learning how to make chart. We were comparing the subject choices for the kids to do and how many students wanted which. The highest vote was for food technology. The reason we had to create graphs was because it was more eye catching.

Inference

For Reading I watched a video about infrence. Inference basically means something you figure out by putting clues together and making a guess. We also use in our daily life sometimes we don’t even realize it. An example of an inference is if you see a ripped up book on your bed but your dog is on the bed as well. So you would thing that your dog ripped the book up because you put the evidence together and made a guess that it was your dog.

Maths Prototec

For Maths we had the choice to choose hit the button or prototec and I chose prototec. In prototec I tried stage seven but my goal for the next time I do prototec is get one hundred percent. I was so close from getting to 100 so thats my goal for next time. Practicing stage seven was really fun for Maths.
