Technology Reflection T3W1

IALT: Write about what I learnt and completed for Technology this week.

This week was our first week back to Technology for this term. It had been a  long 3 weeks since I last saw Mrs Ferguson so this week it was great to see our normal teacher once again. On the last week of Term 2 we had a different teacher, because Mrs Ferguson was away, it felt different because she didn't know what to do and we just ended up putting in more detail to our designs. 

Anyways this week I was extremely proud of myself for finally getting the oppurtunity to bring my design to life, meaning Mrs Ferguson scanned my work and had already made the pieces that I needed for my clock. I can't wait to start putting designs on my shield because I reckon my designs represent who I am as a person, a Maroon Loves, A believer in God, and a proud pacific islander. 

Working throughout the 2 hours I felt like I was way ahead of the others because well I utilised my time wisely and I didn't waste my time to talk to my friends, well only when they needed help and myself. Mrs Ferguson this week was very helping because she had time for everyone and she was well managed by creating a timetable that had the names of everyone in my group. 

Overall, I thought that this week's session was amazing and I can't wait to start painting  on my design. Something challenging I found was when I had to work on my design and add in more because I didn't want it to be a plain brown color.

Maths T3W1

IALT: Talk about what I learnt and did for Maths this week.

1. It costs of $327.55 for Tom’s ski team to take part in a competition.To find out how much it costs for each of the four team members to compete Tom writes 4 x ? = 327.55

How could Tom write this as a division problem?

Tom uses his calculator and get’s the answer 81.8875

What would be a sensible answer for him to write down?

Discuss this with a classmate.

Answer: 327.55 / 4 = 81.8875

B. Rewrite each equation given in red as ? =

Work out the answer. Only use a calculator if you need to. Round your answers sensibly. The first one has been answered for you.

2. During the cricket season Jeetan scored 936 runs in 17 innings. What was his batting average? 936 / 17 = 55

3. Janus had 4.56 kg of jam. He put equal amounts into 11 jars. How much jam was in each jar? 50.16 / 4.56 = 11

4. Rangi paid $26.6 for some beef fillet, which cost $18.79 per kg. How many kilograms did he buy? 26.6 / 18.79 = 1.41

5. Todd paid $19.33 for 4.85 kg of semi-dried tomatoes for a party. How much were they per kilogram? 4.845 hub / 19.33 = 3.98

6. Malaki cut 134.89 m of fishing line into pieces 22.5 metres long. How many pieces did he get?   134.89 / 22.5 = 5.99

7. Sunee is going to Thailand for a holiday. She changes NZ$ into Thai Bhat and gets 18 Baht for every NZ$1. She buys these gifts. How much would they cost in NZ$?

600 / 18 = 33.3 , 1250 / 18 =  69.4 , 1780 / 18 = 98.8

8. Neptune orbits the sun about 6.07 times during a millennium. About how long in Earth years does it take Neptune to orbit the sun once?

1000 / 6.07 = 164.74

9. The circumference of the outer rim of the London Eye is 472.8 metres. The wheel travels at 0.26 m per second. How long does it take to make one complete revolution?  1818.46 x 0.26 = 472.8

10.  Sandi and her family used 126.57 U.S. gallons of petrol on a touring holiday in America. Sandi found out that there are 3.785 litres in one U.S. gallon. How many litres of petrol did the family use for their holiday?

33.43 x 3.785 = 126.53

Here is my Maths work for this week, it looks like a little much but only because I chose to do it on a Document instead of a Google Drawing. Anyways, for this week's Maths task I completed it with Siale, but then halfway through we merged together with Metui, Sifa and Aumau, all of us in which didn't quite understand the question properly.

So instead of sitting there and doing nothing and wasting valuable time we chose to ask the teacher together and we figured out the answer, and a better understanding. We were working on rounding the numbers to the nearest ten and using division strategies to complete the questions. It was harder than it looked, but in the end we completed the task as a team.

Something I found challenging was not understanding the question properly, because I didn't know what it meant or what it told me to do. 

I can't wait for next weeks Maths tasks because I think I'm getting into the habit of working on Maths.

700 Blog Post Achievement!

IALT: Write about my incredible achievement of reaching 700 blog posts.

I am on my way to achieving my blogging goal for this year, which is to reach 1,000 blog posts by the end of this year. I think it's only been 5 - 6 weeks since I reached 600 blog posts, and now that I have reached 700 my goal of reaching 1,000 by the end of the year is looking very bright. Every since Willy came and showed recognition of me reaching 600 blog posts, I was determined to reach my goal with my head up and take the advice that Willy gave me , because I know it will help me a lot!

I wouldn't have done it without the support I got from both students and teachers because they helped me remember that as a leader of this school I need to inspire others around me with the work I share on my blog. This achievement just leaves me 300 more stairs to climb in order for me to reach the top. I would like to thank those who have made it possible for me to reach this achievement because leaving Tamaki would be hard, but I will leave things for the younger generation to learn from. Which is my leadership skills.

Also a huge thank you to Ms. Kyla for helping me reach the first 100 - 130 blog posts of my blog because I didn't know how to blog, and the expectations I needed to reach in order for me to be known as one of the best bloggers in the history of Tamaki Primary, and now look at where I am! Also Ms. Komor, for helping me and creating a blogging rubric I use to make my blog posts up to standard and enjoyable to read. 

I can't wait to reach 800 because it will continue to help me strive to achieve my goal. Something challenging I have come across while being the owner of this blog is not reaching the standard because I didn't know when I was younger, but ar at this age , of maturity, I strive to succeed.
