Maths - I did some work on converting fractions to decimals, and vice versa (and back again). I also did some work of dividing decimals, and I have done the learning intention: 'To add and subtract fractions.' I got a questions wrong, but it was a dumb mistake. I just need to finish my learning reflection to start the next learning intention.
Writing - I finished taking notes and have begun to write my report about meerkats. Reports aren't my best kind of writing, and I keep being confused about what to write. I have written my introduction and have started writing my paragraph on their habitat, but I don't know how to make a report interesting. Is it even possible? Hopefully I will finish writing it by the due-date, which is Wednesday next week.
Reading - I have alphabeticalized all of the words I found replacements for, and I have started writing my analysis of the short story. I have half finished my brief summary of the short story, though it isn't very brief. I have used one quote so far. In my reference book, I stuck a piece of paper that explains the different point of view. I learnt about some new types of third person point of view, and about second person point of view. I never knew there was such thing until then.
Maori - We continued writing our stories about the Waikato river, and made a Google slide-show for the pages of the books. For a page of the book, we decided to find out how long the river is. It is 425 kilometres in length. We have lots of pictures and chose a font to appeal to children. I might show it to my sister when we're finished. We are going to present them in two weeks. It would've been in one week, but we have Teachers Only Day on Friday.
Extension Art - I was supposed to bring a canvas in for my next painting, but I'll have to do it next week. I continued drawing Brendon Urie, and I learnt some techniques on drawing faces. The techniques were first found out by Leonardo Da Vinci. They are about the shaping and spacing of facial features.
Extension Food - It wasn't on this week because the teacher was at a course.
Jump Jam - We learnt a new routine to the song 'Freaks'. Mrs. Crowe took paper and a pen to the A.L.C and wrote down the names of people who were seeking excellence. I hope I was one of them. I tried really hard at the new routine, it was really confusing, and I did my best at the other routines too. I decided that if I put all the effort in that I could, I would warm up quicker. It was so could. I was drenched going to dishes, and I was inside over half the time. I don't know what class won the Golden Rock because I went to dishes before they announced it, and I forgot to ask.
Dishes - I was on dishes this week with Grace. We would've probably been on next week, but both of the people who should've been on this week were both away on Monday. On Friday, the food was nice. There were little cupcakes with icing, a bowl of lollies, lots of nice stuff.
Tech arts - I had my first full lesson of music tech arts on Tuesday. We learnt some new songs on the keyboard and played a few tunes on the drums. We also reviewed the melodies we learnt last Tuesday, though I didn't really know them. On Friday we learnt about blues music and played a blues tune on the keyboard. After that, we started writing our own blues song. My group's song was about my pet, Barry the bee, we stung my finger when I stroked him, and he died. It was very tragic, but don't worry, it wasn't based on a true story.
Science Fair - I didn't have an idea for science fair, so I went on my class website and found a topic. It is: 'What is the relationship between salt levels in water and the ability to float an egg?' I am quite interested to see how this turns out. I wonder if there will be a certain point that there is so much salt that nothing happens. I guess I'll find out.
Last Week's Blog-Post - Sorry, but I can't fix the colour of it. I tried and made it worse, so I'm just going to leave it alone.
