The Wonder Project

Here in Te Ngahere we had two special visitors come into our class to introduce the wonder project, their names were Troy and Gustavo. Throughout the introduction I had learnt a lot of new things, like that red kiwi fruits are getting sold at supermarkets. After Gustavo and Troy told us a little bit about themself we had to get into groups of 3-5 people and make a copy of a google drawing that had a reflection sheet on it so we could fill it out in our groups. Troy and Gustavo wanted to try and interest more kids into science and technology because we do not have as many scientists. Troy is a stormwater engineer and Gustavo is a fruit/plant engineer I personally enjoyed learning a bit about science and how fruit grow but I am excited to be building bottle rockets because I get to experience something new. Do you like science ?

Tidy Numbers

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about multiplication and rounding numbers to a tidy number. We started off learning what tidy numbers were and how to round numbers to a tidy number. Tidy numbers are numbers that can be halved and can also end in zero. I personally thought that the questions were kind of easy but I first had to understand the proper way to round a number to a tidy number, for example: 48 x 7, first you would have to round one of the numbers to equal a tidy number. You can round 48 to 50 which gives you the remainder of 2. Next you would times 7 by 50 which equals 350. Now that you have your total of 350 you have to times the  7 by 2 which is 14. 350 - 14 = 336. I personally found some of this maths quite difficult because i didn't really understand it at first but after a bit of practising I finally got the hang of it. Do you like maths ?

Tik Tok Movements

Here in Te Ngahere two girls from our class took the opportunity to teach the whole class two tik tok dances for our school assembly. When we first got told that we had to do tik tok dances for assembly I wasn't really confident. Through all of our practises I started to get more into it and I was not as shy as before.  The two girls who taught the class the dances were very patient and also very clear at explaining what to do. I personally enjoyed doing tik tok dances and it was a very great experience. Do you like tik tok ?
