Fractions and Decimals

14/6/12
Reflection for Fractions and Decimals

· Something I was pleased with was that I understood decimals more than I thought I would because at first it was really confusing but I got it in the end.

                            

· I really enjoyed learning decimals because they were very interesting and they had different ways to learn them

and they were really fun as well.

· Something I found hard was at the time that we were in room 21, it was confusing what Mrs Harvey was saying write the decimal for....

· Something that made me think was fractions because when we had to find the fraction in a number.

· Something I want to get better at is getting faster at decimals.

What can I do about it? I can practice on the decimal game that Mr Moriarty sent us.

The Lorax

Last week we read the story of The Lorax. The Lorax book is all about a little monster and he is the guardian  of the Truffler trees which are funny tall trees. There is a man and he comes along and chops down

all the trees and the Lorax is the only person with a Truffler tree seed and so he gives it to this boy and he is relaying on him to make a forest of Truffler trees again. My teacher said that we had to do some art on the Lorax and we could make it how we liked and this is what I did.

This is my art that I did on The Lorax

Reflection on Maths time

Reflection for maths

· Something I was pleased with was that I got most of the answers that the whole class did because at first I only had all the easy answers but then I got most of them at the end.

                            

· I really enjoyed learning rounding to the nearest hundred and rounding  to the nearest ten because I didn’t really get rounding but I got there in the end.

                  

· Something I found hard was Problem 1 at first because I found it hard hard we had to round to 2000 in kms.

· Something that made me think was _ x _ = 360. The teacher gave us a clue that one of the numbers ended in zero (0). These are the answers that I came up with...

1. 36x10=360
2. 1x360=360
3. 180x2=360
4. 60x6=360
5. 90x4=360

                 

· Something I want to get better at is rounding.

What can I do about it? What I can do about it is practice, practice, practice makes perfect.

My Voki

This is my Voki that I made on a site and it is a really cool site. If you click on the link you can make a voki like mine or different. Voki's are really fun to make and they are also so EASY!!! You don't have to pay any thing because it is a FREE site. It is so much fun that any one could do it. You can be an animal or a human and you can use some other voice or you can record your own voice. I recommend you check it out and make one.

Letter to V.M. Jones

Dear V.M. Jones

My name is Hannah and I really love your book Buddy and would love to read it again. This book must be the most AMAZING book I have ever read by far. I would recommend it to any child or adult asking if I had read any good books yours would be the first one I would say. Where did you get your inspiration from and how did it feel when you first finished the book? My favourite chapter in the book was The end of the race and the saddest chapter was The dream which I found a little scary in a way but good to know what happened to Jake. My favourite character is Splash the Kitten and Chantal. They are awesome characters but then I love all the characters.


When we started reading Buddy I never wanted to put it down but unfortunately I had to put it down because, because it was a class book and I didn’t want to spoil it for anyone. Would you be able to come to Parkvale School for a visit because that would be one of my dreams before I leave Parkvale in 2 years. That would be awesome and I am sure heaps of others in my class would love that as well.

Thanks
Hannah

My group came up with heaps of ideas and we wrote them on a big piece of paper then we had to try and make those ideas work. My poster is trying to convince people to stop littering.

Mixed Martial Arts Competition

On Sunday 10th June 2012, I entered a Mixed Martial Arts Competition. Mixed Martial Arts is a sort of fighting that we choke each other and we can break an arm but we have to tap out and the other person has to stop. The competition started at 10.00 in the morning for younger kids then after that it was my age groups turn. First we got split into 2 groups depending on what stage of the belts we were at.

This is what the belts look like and
this is what belt I am up to.

Once we were into our groups, we got started. How it went is there would be 2 of us and we would fight in each other in the middle of the mat and the first fight that you did was to see if you were going to go for 1st, 2nd or 3rd. I won my first fight which meant that I was going for 1st, 2nd or 3rd. My first fight was against a girl named Paige. I put an arm bar on her. My second fight was against a boy named Fisher that I lost to because the timer ran out and he got more points than me. Than my last fight was going for third and I won against a boy named Shaun which made me come third. In the end I came third and my whole family was proud of me and I felt like I showed PRIDE.

Why all children should have their own bedroom

Why all children should have their own room...

Dear Mum and Dad,

All children should have their own room because if some kids are tidy, their room will always be tidy, and if some kids are messy, their room will always be messy.

Reason number one, is that some kids are tidy and they share a room with someone messy, it makes them look messy and some kids have a chart for having a tidy room but they might not get a award for having a tidy room when they have reached it because of the other person being messy.

Reason number two is some kids don't get to sleep at night because of the other person and that is causing them to be misbehaved at school for their teachers which is not good because that sometimes makes the teacher MAD!!! (Never Good!!!)

The final reason to why all children should have their own room is that little kids can be very annoying when older people are trying to get to sleep and also when they are doing their homework in their bedroom and they are very ANNOYING. When that happens so please let all children have their own room.

So please mum and dad, when you are reading this, please let all children have their own room otherwise we will go CRAZY!!!(and we will never stop going CRAZY till we get our own room.)

Thanks lots

Hannah Hansen
