Ordering fractions and Decimals

In this game we ordered decimals and fractions from lowest to highest. This game helped me recall my fractions and decimal ordering. I thought this challenge was easy because I already knew how to order the fractions and decimals I hope to get more difficult ones. 

Fruit Splat, Greatest common factor

Today for maths we played a game that challenged our knowledge on common factors. The game was easy, but it did challenge me. I already knew some of my common factors, so it was easier for me to  answer most of the equations.  It was good revising my maths skills and I hope to play more of these kind of games. 

Decimal Place Value

To revise our decimal place value a bit we played a game , which asked us questions for example 1 in the tenths place and we would look for obviously the 1 in the tenths place. This helped me recall my place value and also I liked how it got harder and harder as it went through. 

Comparative/ Superlative

Comparative/ Superlative

Bad	Worse	Worst

Our writing focus today was to look at Comparative and Superlative.  This was kind of hard considering some of the questions were trick.  Like for an example  it was bad, worse and worst this was tricky because everyone thought that it was different but it wasn't. To show some examples I used smashed window as a result of Bad , Worse and Worst.  

Millions Place Value

This week we have been working on ordering numbers which is basically place value. In this game we had to order numbers from highest to smallest (order the countries population).  I thought this was quite easy considering I already know my millions place value.  If you would like to play the game and give yourself a bit of a test you can play the game.

Chicken Kebabs and Potato Salad

In food tech we got to make chicken kebabs and potato salad. This was a long process but it turned out to be really good with the correct equipment we needed.  I learnt how to make potato salad. We first put the potatos in the pot of hot boiling water , with the potatoes diced and sliced. We put this in for about 15 minutes then took them out. Now we added in some spring onions to it and put some dressing in along with some boiled egg. I thought this was really nice along with the chicken kebabs that tasted nice. I hope to make many more of these in my own time.

Omaru River

Our main inquiry focus today was about the Omaru River this particular river is located in East Auckland , Glen Innes. We were talking about the positive side affects and the negative side affects. To share our thinking we had to make a DLO about it and add some images to kind of back up our positives and negatives. The blockages in the river can make the water stagnant which can make the water dirty and polluted.
