Moira de Villiers

Moira de Villiers does Judo. She has made it into the London Olympics. She will represent New Zealand in judo at the London Olympics. Moira de Villiers was named to compete in the under 70kg class. She had to battle with a dislocated ring finger in the crucial semi-final round of the Commonwealth Championships early this year.
In spite of the pain, de Villiers, who had been accepted to the elite Olympic Training Centre in Paris, pushed on and won the event.
"It was sore but the adrenaline kept me going," she said. "It was about mental ability and toughness and I wanted it so badly." She is rated 18th on the Olympic ranking table. Originally from South Africa, de Villiers has been living on Auckland's North Shore since 2003.
She says as a non-funded athlete it's been tough achieving her Olympic dream.
"I work, train, sleep," she said.
"I miss my family."
New Zealand has sent 14 judo athletes, including five women, to Olympic Games.

WALT Take samples and use them to predict


   


Maths Reflection



Something I was pleased with was that at the end, me and Natasha were only 1 off the real answer because we were estimating and we estimated right.



I really enjoyed learning Probability because it was really fun and we had to predict which I love doing.



Something I found hard was at first, thinking about words that describe Probability because I didn’t know what it is.



 Something that made me think was justifying why we predicted how many  Red, Yellow and Blue blocks there were in the bag.



 Something I want to get better at is Probability.
What can I do about it? I can work at it more in class.

Bunnies VS Evil Guinea

Bunnies VS Evil Guinea on Storybird

 Bunnies vs Evil Guinea

One day, in 1917, there was a girl named Hannah Hansen and she was sitting in the kitchen at the table eating her breakfast when something caught her eye in the corner of the kitchen. I was that girl.
“Ugh” I screamed. I yelled at the top of my lungs. “Get that thing out of here”. I was scared out of my skin. I crept closer and closer then I actually realized that it was a little Bunny Rabbit and then all of a sudden, I looked in another corner of the kitchen and there was a Guinea Pig. I looked all around the room and every time I would look somewhere there would be a little bunny appear. By this point I started to freak out, it was like a galaxy that I had appeared in just happened to be Bunny Planet. It was amazing but creepy at the same time.

The Bunnies started to talk to me and that was the most scariest thing. I let the Bunnies talk to me and this is what they said “Hi, we are the Bunnies and that is Evil Guinea. We hate him, he is trying to get rid of us and make him be the king of the world. This is our head Bunny, Flopsy.”

All of a sudden the bunnies started run after the Guinea Pig.
“ I HATE Bunnies!!!” shouted the Guinea Pig. The Bunnies and Evil Guinea were fighting and fighting in the middle of the battlefield. I was screaming STOP but the Bunnies and Evil Guinea kept their fight going and going.

Suddenly the Bunnies stopped, they were staring at Evil Guinea and asked him, “What is your favourite food?”
“ Well it is celery but I haven’t been able to find any celery anywhere.”
“ Haven’t you heard  that on the news there has been a celery storm in the Netherlands?”
“ Has there?”
“ Indeed there has and apparently it tastes really good.”
“ Oh no, I have to get over there fast before my brother gets there.”
“ How are you going to get there?” asked the Bunnies smartly.
“ Of course I am going on a boat”
“ Okay then see you there.”

The next thing you know Evil Guinea has disappeared and the Bunnies shout “Yeah, We have tricked him and now he is gone forever. Yay!”I just realized  there was one bunny missing and he had told the sailor to never come back to Netherlands and to leave any Evil Guinea Pig there.

How many numbers can you make




Maths Problems

· Something I was pleased with was this maths section because I understood all the things that we were doing.
                            

· I really enjoyed learning what numbers we can make with 1, 0, 2, 7, 8 and 4 because we got up to high numbers.

· Something I found hard was Problem 2 because I got confused when I was doing it.
· Something that made me think was what numbers could we make with 7 in the tenths place because there was a lot of them and I was trying to get them all but I didn’t get there.

                  
· Something I want to get better at is using a pattern to figure out a questions.
          What can I do about it? I can practice for homework each night.

Mandy's Garden

This is my art that I did on Mandy's Garden which is a production that the juniors did and it is really cute. My sister is a worm in the production and they sing Wriggle Wriggles. The play is all about a girl named Mandy and she was playing with her ball when she hit a little flower. Mandy does not care about the flowers or insects but the flowers and insects don't like that so they try to change it. It has a really good bass line and I would love to see it again.

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
