Chinese New Year

The Chinese New Year also known as the Spring Festival, is the most important holiday for the Chinese. 

With over 20% of the population celebrating it you can tell it's a big deal. 

People close stores for weeks for this important period of time. 

With having over 4000 years of history and being the longest holiday it's a time for celebration!

Summer Learning Journey Practice T4W6

Summer Learning Journey Practice

Hello everybody, This week we have been learning about the upcoming summer learning journey. To get prepared for this we have "grabbed" a past summer learning journey activity and are using it to practice.

Here is my work

.........

England, The place I would like to visit.

I love travelling to other countries they all have different cultures, different ways of politics and many new things to experience. Because we all have different ways of living in our own countries, going away can either be very fun or quite scary.

It’s Hectic, busy and to be honest, these are attributes that I absolutely adore in a place. Lots of people live there which means it will a busy place which would be fun to experience.

I know these aren't the best reasons ever, but I would love to visit England.

Raising Flags With T1!

Flag Raising

Hi everybody, today I am going to talk about what my class has been doing this week.

As you can see by the title we have been raising flags. We had to start from scratch with limited items and limited amounts. All were were given was a small amount of tape, a lot of paper, scissors, string, a metre ruler and we were able to use pencils and pens to draw. 

We had to make a flag pole with a flag that would raise without difficulty, It was not an easy task.

 We had to plan it, construct it. After all that the result for our first attempt was a failure, yet we build of that fact and created a success (kinda).

It was fun to do and I recommend people to try this fun activity. 

3 Level Guide T3W7

3 Level Guide

For our reading task we always do a three level guide for a book we read.

 The three level guide is almost like a tool we take information out of the book and write down two facts in each section. The sections are, literal (things that are true), Inferential (we put information together and make a very good guess), Applied (we write down what the author may want us to think).

The book we read this week was becoming a martian. it's about how company's are working towards going to mars soon but there are doubts about it.

Wild Boy| Reading Task| T3W4 2018

Wild Boy

This week for reading we have been focusing on a book called Wild Boy. This book is about a boy named Brando Yelavich. He is the first person to walk the coastline of New Zealand. Here are some tasks I have done about this book.

(The first bullet point on each section is made by Mr Wood, other are by me.)

Juggling With Mandarins | Book Review

Juggling With Mandarins

I haven't read much of this book but I already know that it is very good.

This book was recommended by Mr Wood (my teacher).

This is about a boy who's father loves soccer and is at every match of his sons. Juggling with mandarins is a metaphoric for him juggling his life how it's going up and down. 

I haven't read enough of this book to write down all about it. All I can say is that I know that this book is very good and I look forward to reading more.
Book By: V.M. Jones  

FYI, this was made before I had finished reading because we had to make one whilst I still hadn't finished the book.

Ballast Reflection T2W8 2018

Ballast

Ballast is an interesting puzzle game off Maths Pickle.

Blotch is a puzzle game which you have to pick numbers. These numbers all have to work in a specific way.  

So you see the image up the top there, that is one of the ballast puzzles I have completed. You need 5 numbers. The number 1 and 5 that you see well you times those. The other numbers that are 0, 2 and 3 well those numbers have to add up to the answer of what (for example) 5 x 1 = and that's 5. 0 + 2 + 3 = also 5.     

In these the five numbers were already picked out and only 2/3 of them were supposed to work so obviously the center one and the right side one.
