Ben's story part 1

Once upon a time there lived a boy named Ben and he lived in the city with his parents and this meant a lot for him since it was a crowded place and he was pretty anxious about things. Ben was homeschooled and just tried to stay away from lots of people and this gave him more time to adapt.

One morning Ben woke up to his dad calling for him” Ben could you come downstairs please, I have something to show you”. So Ben got dressed and made his way downstairs to the kitchen to find out what his dad wanted to show him.

“Ben I have some good news and some bad news, what would you like to hear first?” Ben's dad said while buttering his toast. “Uhhh bad news”. “ We will be moving out of the city since we know you're not good with big crowds and thought it would be best for you. The good news is that it's a nice place with a lake and a school with kids just like you.” Ben shook his head and made him some cereal. They were gonna go there the next day.

The next morning Ben was ready to move to the new house and said goodbye to the city while looking back through the rear windscreen.

Multiplication and division problems

WALT: Understand division strategies

For this task, I needed to complete these maths word problems by doing the equation working out and the answer. My favourite part when working out the problems was figuring them out in my head and writing down what I got and moving on to the next problem.  Maybe next time I could use a different strategy to work out the problems.

Creating my own 3D pencil holder

WALT: Create and design a 3D pencil holder

Yesterday on Wednesday I went to Kaitaia Intermediate to go to an ICT class and I had to create a 3D pencil holder on a site called Sketchup and that is also where you can make many other 3D objects that can be 3D printed. I've finished the pencil holder but I have to have some design for the 3D object and personalize it and so far I have just added my name to the pencil holder. My favourite part when creating this 3D object was watching the videos and following what to do on the app. Maybe next time I could I could research about designs I could do on the 3D object.

Zach´s hike

WALT: Write 110 words in 10 minutes

This week I had to write 110 words in 10 minutes and write about any topic and I chose a story about a boy who loved adventures. My favorite part when writing my story was using speech marks to make the character's words look better than without speech marks. Maybe next time I could write what happened to the family after their adventure in the forest

Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved to have adventures in his nearby forest and the boy's name was Zach. One day Zach had woken up to his parents saying that they were going on a hike in the forest. Zach jumped out of the bed excited and asked ¨ When are we going?¨. ¨ soon, very soon¨ Zach´s mum replied.

Zach then got prepared he had breakfast had a shower and then he was ready to go on the hike in the forest. Once they arrived at the forest they had gotten all their stuff out of the car and started to hike the forest. About 1 quarter through the hike they had stopped to have a rest. They had some food had a drink and once they had finished their rest they went back on the hike. After about 45 minutes of them hiking they had finally reached the end of their adventure through the forest. They were cheering so happy that they had finally finished the hike. After a while they sat on a log had finally ad a good rest. The end.

Ngairon´s maths word problems

 WALT: Create our own maths word problems

This week I had to create my own maths word problem. My favourite part when creating maths word problems was finding different strategies people could work out the problems. I found it challenging to put in the images for the word problem and make it easier for the viewer. Maybe next time I could use division or multiplication for the working out. 

Investigation slide

 WALT: Investigate a worldwide problem

For this task, I needed to research a worldwide problem, and I chose global warming. Then we had to break it down into what the cause of the problem is, what the size of the problem is, and describe the worldwide problem. Maybe next time I could add some more detail about describing the problem.
