Listening to chatterboxes

    


WALT:Using your listening skills.


How to make a Chatterbox.

I done this chatterbox with all Room 8 and a junior in the class. We were doing a chatterbox that looked like mountains all together. It was happening last Wednesday when the bell rang.
I was in the class with Room 8 students and with the teacher. We were doing this so we can get ideas from it for when we write our recount and I was excited about it.

Firstly, We were given a magazine, tore out a page and folded each corner into the center. When we folded the magazine there was lots of folding to do and there was lots of triangle´s to fold. We seem to be folding forever until we make a chatterbox.

Finally, We got to play with the chatterbox. When I made the chatterbox I straight away thought it looked like 4 mountains, volcanoes, stuck all together. When we finished it Ms Bracey said we can play with it until the end of the day or until we do more learning to do about fractions, maths, reading, inquiry, cybersmart.

Are you going toilet?


Room 8 students watched a video on how not to behave when you go to the school toilets. They turned it around into the positives of how students should behave as part of PB4L.

We brainstormed as a class and then Auckland took the class IPAD and students out to film.

Me, Myself and I

Auckland @ Tamaki Primary School · Post Me , myself & I Posting as Auckland
WALT: write a positive comment using google share.

In New Zealand there was a boy that loved to explore. He is 11 yrs old.
The boy wants to be an explorer but he is still in primary school.
One day the boy was sick of being told that he’s too young and weak to be a explorer.
Then he went to Rangitoto because Rangitoto is a volcano.
The boy read a nonfiction story that there was crystals and gems in a volcano.
Suddenly Rangitoto erupted.

Auckland, I liked how you used future tense.
Milan

Auckland, I liked the way you spelt everything correctly.

Practising posting positive comments



WALT: Practising posting positive comments using google 
share.

I am a 10 year old kid that likes to explore, I love to go on
adventures around the world so I know what is happening, but I have enmity issues like a vomiting volcano. I go on mystery adventures
when the sun is out. I love to explore around any volcano like Mount
Ruapehu.


Alyssa, I really like the way you wrote a simile describing the  character
Falakika.



Spewing lava and molten rocks.

WALT: Practising posting positive comments using google share.
 Introduction. In New Zealand there was a boy that likes to develop facts about a volcano on a island called Rangitoto At the moment I was a scientist but he wished that he could go on a ferry to Rangitoto Island But he is scared of his boss.
But one day his boss told him to go home because he said he was sick but he lied.
Then the scientist went on a ferry to Rangitoto but the volcano started spewing out lava and massive rocks.
 Who? The character is me,myself and I.
What? The volcano started spewing out lava and massive rocks.
Where? It was at Rangitoto Island. When? It was to day.
Why? Because the temperature of the volcano was to high so it spewed out massive rocks and lava. Vaka, I really like the way you have remembered to do the three key elements in the introduction of a narrative and put in bold and to do the 5 W’s Rawiri

My bad temper

A few days ago I heard that Rangitoto Island was going to erupt. But it is dormant right now,
I would like to explore Rangitoto Island. I kind of have a bad temper that’s why I like
volcanoes,it explodes with anger like my temper.

Tidy number maths strategy

WALT: To add tidy numbers.
Image result for +
300+798=1098                300+700=1000+90=1090+8=1098

A clue is the zero.

Multiplication

WALT:Using tidy numbers they usually end with a zero (0)

For example: 124+287=411


  Tidy number (100+200)+(80+20)+(4+7)=411



Making Ten

                    
WALT: Making tens
              
2+8=10         7+3=10
8+2=10         3+7=10

6+4=10     9+1=10
4+6=10     1+9=10

These are my maths strategies
     

Brackets help with tidy numbers







WALT: add and subtract numbers up to 100 using tidy numbers

4+9+6+7+3+8+2+1=40

(9+1=10)(8+2=10)(6+4=10)(7+3=10)(10+10+10+10=40)

Algorithim to subtract decimals

This is one of the strategies to one of my maths questions
WALT: Adding and Subtracting decimals with tenths




Compensating and tidy numbers

WALT:Using tidy numbers
Tidy numbers end with a 0
 -7    +7
229+663=892

222+670=892

 (200+600)+(20+70)+2=892

Numbers to ten.

WALT: numbers to ten
My maths strategy is  numbers to ten.
for example.
6+9+4+1+2=
6+4=10     9+1=10   10+2=12     12+10=22

 so it equals 22

Tidy numbers

WALT: Use Tidy numbers.
Tidy numbers are numbers that end with the number zero (0)
124+287=411
(100+200)+(20+80)+(4+7)=411

Decimals are tidy too!

Image result for maths gifWALT:  To subtract and divide decimals.


1.4 + 9.8= 11.2
1.0 + 9.0= 10.0
0.8 + 0.2 = 1.0+0.2=1.2
10.0 + 1.2 =11.2

To answer my question I learned a strategy to  figure out the answer.

FLiP

Price Waterhouse Coopers










WALT: Financial Literacy in Primary

If you borrow something from someone then return it back straight away because if you don’t then you can upset that person.

If it is too hard for you to save then give you money to your parents to hold it for you.

Use your money wisely

Be prepared in case of an emergency

Keep your identity safe.

Price Waterhouse Coopers.
WALT: Financial literacy in Primary.
What did I find out?
I found out that if you save money you can use it when there is an emergency and when you borrow something from other people like your friends or your family you must return it back.
I learned that if you have a drivers license,passport and a wallet you must keep it in a safe place so no one can't steal it and pretend to be you.

Who are you?

Gas Trap

WALT: where do clouds come from?





During Room 8's science experiment we found out that
when you go through a cloud that the cloud would feel watery.
We also learned that when it is foggy it is actually clouds from the sky.

Gas Trap

Making a cloud.

WALT: where do clouds come from?

I found out that clouds are formed from the water that is left on the ground, the water from the ground rises up into the sky and forms clouds...



A little foggy.

WALT:Where do clouds come from 

I found out that that the clouds are wet.

On Thursday we made a cloud experience. Ms Bracey gave us a cup and a lid. She went and got hot water and put it in the cup. We put the lid on and try to read the Gas Trap tester through the cup. We also had to open the jar and feel inside. It felt like fog.

Forming a cloud



We are learning how clouds form. So we went to put hot water in each jar. I didn't know how clouds were formed and this experiment showed me how.
