Zeba and Oh S'Mar's Maths Challenge

Today in maths we learnt how to play a game called the grid challenge . I played this maths game with Oh'Smar. This game help us practice our times tables and measurements everybody had a lot of fun playing this . To play this game you need two dices and and a grid. 

When you roll the dice you times the two numbers you get and then you create a shape that should have the amount of squares the total you got from you two dice. You should then have an array once you have filled up as much boxes a you can than count the squares that are left out. The one with the least squares left is the winner.

At the end of the game I won by three points.

Learning to sprint by Oh S'Mar

   

 

This morning we went to our kiwi sport called Run Jump Throw. It was our first time doing it. We learnt that to run fast and properly. You will need to follow these rules: Look straight, cheek to cheek with your arms, light feet and high knees, to start a sprint you should not look at the starter and the difference between long distance and short distance is that long distance doesn't have get set go in their wording. While we were practising running and doing the hurdles Mrs Anderson videoed us so then we can compare how we run to other people.

Learning to use direct speech: San Tat and Oh S'Mar

“Hi Oh S’Mar I think we should have breakfast at school,” stated San Tat

“Why?” questioned Oh S’Mar.

“Because students without having breakfast struggle in their learning!” shouted San Tat.

“Wow don’t people care about students struggle at school, “said Oh S’Mar

“I know right I can't believe that people don't even care,” San Tat yelled.

Me and my partner used a website called Ifaketext.com we used this app the make a conversation about should children have breakfast at school. We were learning to use direct speech and have tried to experiment with different 'said' words.

Pentagon Group's 3D Challenge

 

Today's challenge was to create 3d shapes using the same polygon on each face. Once this had been completed, and the process photographed, the groups were asked to work collaboratively to create a presentation (of their choice) to share their learning. No instructions were given... just hints like the one that reminded the groups to record all the questions they asked each other. This is all their own work and was confidently presented to the class to show their understanding. Great work everyone!

This is the presentation that Joshua, Oh smar, Jacob and Tamim have been working on collaboratively. They presented to Room 9 and Room 2 and got some really positive feedback.
