Maths With Ms Pine

"I have not FAILED. I've just found 10,000 ways that WON'T work" Thomas Edison. I find this quote very inspiring because it helps those who don't think they're unique, unique.

Today we had the privilege of having Ms Pine in our class for Maths time. She is a well experienced teacher when it comes to Maths. The activity was teacher's were planning the student's school camp. For their activities students were put into groups of different sizes depending on the activities for that day. They were given bars of chocolate as a snack. My group completed the activity of fifteen bars to the eight children going to orienteering. We had to share the bars equally amongst the eight children. Here is our working out.

It's a bit messy but in the end we got through it.

I would like to thank Ms Pine for giving up her time to come and teach our class during maths time. The main purpose of this activity was using Fractions. I'm not really good at maths but I showed a growth mindset and never gave up. We didn't do it on our own, Whaea Vicky helped us along the way!

We worked hard together as a group to come up with the answer. I participated in the group by adding the fractions together. The HIGHLIGHT of the group was having the teacher helps us along the way. Another highlight was hearing the other group's strategy of getting the answer. The answer's were very similar!

Thanks for having the time to read my reflection!

BFG Reflection.

Today my class and I have finished reading the Book “The BFG” written and published by Roald Dahl. Our task is to choose one key idea and find examples in the text relating to my key idea. The bond between Sophie and the BFG soon becomes stronger, they are inseparable.

WALT: Choose a key idea and reflect on it, and also find examples in the text relating to it.

Key Idea: Ako (Reciprocal Learning)

Example 1: Both Sophie and the BFG show Ako by teaching each other different things about where they come from. In the end Sophie teaches the BFG to write and read, In each part of the book the BFG tells stories about his life, and about the other 9 man eating giants. I think this relates to my key idea because showing Ako can help you understand and find out new things about each other, just like Sophie and the BFG.

Example 2: In the beginning of the book the BFG teaches Sophie what to do when the other giants are around. He also shows her how to catch dreams, he catches dream in a fancy way. How he catches them? He catches them with a net. He also makes Sophie taste his own drink Frobscottle. You make Frobscottle with soft drink and a bit of water, it also has the power to make the drinker fly! I think this relates to my key idea because even though giants are supposed to be ugly and scary the BFG however is kind and gentle. He also saved the lives of millions of people!

Here is my reflection about the book "The BFG" written and published by Roald Dahl. My class and I have finished reading the book! I recommend this book for children in primary, because most giants are believed to be ugly and scary, but the BFG however is truly different! Please leave a comment!  Many thanks!
