Maths

Today in maths we did a word problem but it not finished because we only discussed what the kilometres meant. We had to remember nine what to do mathematicians before tomorrow, If we remember all nine we get a price.

I learnt that 14kph is 1 hour so for an example: if I left my house in a car around about 12 and I got to Wellington it would only take an hour to get there or less it doesn't matter what vehicle you going in.

Netball session

Thursday 26 May 2016

Today room 7 students had a netball session with coach Anne, Today we learnt some skills in defending and attack. This morning I learnt a skill were you can attack and defend when another player throws the ball to another player,The first warm up game was Shadow follower that we defend the ball not their face we also had to be in pairs to practice our defending.

The next game we played was an intercept activity were we have to intercept when the ball is coming. After a few minutes Anne said to find another pair so there can be 4 of us to take turns in intercepting the ball. After that game we played four corners attack/defend activity.

Before our session was over we played a game of shooting were we are split into two teams, We got a number 1 to 13 and if our number is called out we had run up to the hula hoop and pass the ball to the number 1 before the person that number got called shoots.

Maths

Today in maths we had to solve finding a set of fractions and adding fractions. These are some of the fractions we did and we did our six timetables.

L.I: Finding fractions of a set
3/4 of 18=13.5
1/2 of 24=12
4/7 of 28=16
3/6 of 36=18
5/6 of 54=45
3/8 of 32=12

L.I: Adding fraction
1/2+3/4=1 whole 1/4
3/4+3/4=1 whole 2/4
4/5+3/5=1 whole 2/5
2/7+3/7=5/7
4/10+2/5=8/10

This is what my maths group learnt today.

Science experiment

Today room 7 students are doing a Science experiment on a potato. We are going to see what will happen to the potato if it can grow in a box with a hole on top or not.


I think that the potato will not grow because it will need sun for it to grow. I also think that the potato might not have much air for it to grow and I will see if it will suffocate in the box.
