Structure of a recount | Writing

L.I to revise the structure of a recount and reaffirm the making criteria.
This week in Writing we have revised a structure of a recount. Mr O had gave us a topic to write about. After we had finished this we had to mark ourselves. This included 7 things, which is Ideas, Structure and Language , Organization, Vocab, Spelling, Punctuation and Sentence Structure. I had scored myself 28. I think I could have improved in my Vocab and Ideas, by using more descriptive language and explained more.

Methods and Strategies | Maths

L.I to recap different maths strategies and methods.
This week for maths we had been practising our maths knowledge by playing Scattergories. to play this game Mr Wong has to pick a number and a math's operation. We have to find different ways of finding the answer to that number. We had also practised Calculating the Area and Perimeter , Adding and Subtracting decimals, time and fractions. Their was different strategies like: basic facts, tidy numbers, place value, repeated addition and subtraction, rounding and compensating, written algorithm and Reversing.

How to do Reversing : 
For example, I'm trying to solve a subtraction equation like 62 - 49 = ?? and you don't know what it is. From 49 add until you get to 62. That will be your answer

Business & EnterPrise

L.I to define and describe the terms Enterprise and Business.
Enterprise means a project or undertaking, especially a bold or complex one. Business means a person's regular occupation, profession or trade. In our groups we had predicted the meanings of those words. This can be shown on Slide 30. After this we had to find different companies life food companies, clothes companies, shoes companies etc and find out their price range and what they sell. We also had to do companies that don't sell things but that do things for you.

If it was the same word, we would have to find the multiple meanings. The second work that we had to do was finding out what were type of gods they were.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T | Kiwi Can

L.I to have respect for yourself, environment, people, and things.
Respect is having self-discipline, self-control and taking care of yourself. Our theme and Topic for Kiwi Can is Respect and Unique. Unique means having something special that somebody might not have. Our teachers for this week's kiwi can was Mr Simanu and Mr Latu. Our Energiser for this week was Frutti Tutti. In this game Mr Simanu had to say Apple, Orange, or Banana, we had to do the action. It was even harder because we were all standing in a circle so if anybody made a mistake we would all fall over. Our Activity for this week was 1 truth and 1 lie. For this game a person had to tell 1 lie and 1 truth and we had to pick a side for which one we think was real. This game was fun because you got to learn about other people. The most interesting thing I learnt was that Mr O could eat a 6-inch Meatball sub in under 30 seconds.
