Dance Fever

Today we had a programme called Dance Fever and they encourage students to dance and also teach kids how to dance.We started off with hip hop we learnt some moves it was cool and funny Lieutenant(instructor) was showing us some moves we learnt pops and rolls.Then Lieutenant and Rach our instructors showed us the samba we all stood up and did the moves they said the samba is always three steps and the only time it is 4 is when you turn around.The samba is really fast and you have to watch your step because you might miss a step and fall over.Then they picked some students to demonstrate what to do it was funny they had to hold hands and dance but they have guts to do that most of the boys would be to scared do the dance holding hands.Thanks Dance Fever

Poem about school

I really like my school,
and just want to say,
That's where I spend,
most of my day.

Countless activities,
I get to do.
For arts and crafts,
I always use glue.

During maths class,
I learn to add and subtract.
ten times ten equals one hundred,
that's an absolute fact.

One of my favourite classes,
is fun and called gym.
I can nearly touch,
that basketball rim.

I also enjoy learning,
difficult words to spell.
My ears are programmed,
for that school bell.

I really like my school, 

and just want to say,
I'm always excited,
for the very next day.

Mathematics

Yesterday we did some Mathematics and these are some of the   Marilyn needs to fertilise her front lawn. It measures 20 metres by 35 metres. Each bag of the fertiliser that she plans to use covers approximately 200m2. How many bags should she buy?

She needs to buy 3 and a 1/2 bags .20x35=700 and 700 divided by 200 = 3.5 and she has a 700 metre squared lawn and 3 bags would cover 600 metres squared and half the bag would cover the left over 100 metre squared.

Remember: length X width

2) Mr Masua needs to fertilise our school lawn. It measures 35 metres by 40 metres. Each bag of the fertiliser that he plans to use covers approximately 200m2. How many bags should he buy?

30x40=1200

5 x 40=200

35 x 40 = 200

30 x 20 x 2 + 200 = 1400

she needs to buy 7 bags

Decimals maintenance (Write down the strategies you use)

Sally was painting her house. She needed 0.48 litres for each wall of her kitchen and 1.34 litres for each wall of her bedroom.

How many litres does she need for the kitchen?

0.40 x 4 = 1.6

0.8 x 4 = 0.36

1.6 + 0.32 = 1.92

How many litres does she need for the bedroom?

1 x 4 = 4.0

0.30 x 4 = 1.20

0.4 x 4 = 0.16

4.0 + 1.0 = 5.0

0.20 + 0.16 = 0.36

5.0 + 0.36 = 5.36

1.0 x 4 = 4

3.98 + 12.34 = 16.32

0.089 + 0.834 = 0.932

Which is bigger? 0.89 or 0.782

0.98 - 0.234 = 0.746

0.5 - 0.24 = 0.26

12.89 - 9.242 = 3.648

Have a look at these strategies and try them out to solve the problem.

Place value partitioning: 35 x 20 = (30 +5) x 20 = (30 x 20) + (5 x20) = 600 + 100 = 700

Rounding and compensating: 20X35 (20 X 40 - 100 = 700)

Using known facts: 5, 10, 20

20X35 (20X10 + 20X10 + 20X10 + 20 X 5 =700)

Vertical algorithm: Traditional algorithm

 20

X35

Reversibility: 20X35 (700 divided by 35 = 20 or 700 divided by 20 = 35)

Proportional adjustment: 20 X 35 =  (10X70=700)

Multiplying larger numbers

20 X 35 = (20X30 + 20X5=)

The creation of Rugby

One day William Web Ellis was at school doing some work he was in science there was a note going around the classroom saying that there was going to be a big soccer match at break  1 William kept thinking about scoring a goal and then it was the first

The bell rang every student left for Break 1 They all went to the football field and started to play William Ran with ball and then disregarding the rules for football he picked up the ball in his hands and ran down the field dodging all the players  on the field and dived into the goal this creating rugby.

They said later on that  he left to become a cricketer and four years later they bring back the rugby game .And then it was introduced to the world it only reached New Zealand in 1870 by Charles John Monro .Everybody started playing now it’s a global sensation.There are now many rugby clubs all over New Zealand .They also named an trophy after him The William Web Ellis cup
also known as the Rugby world cup.
