Maths games fractions T3W6

I was playing a game of matching improper fractions with mixed numbers and pictures.  I had match the ½ with the words and the other one with the picture that showed. This game was easy for me  because I had played this game before on the mat. It was also confusing because there were to much noise around us and it was also a bit different.Next , I would like to learn to do even more harder fractions.

Composting

After lunch one of the teachers was telling us about composting and I also learnt when I was there you
can even put meat and orange peels in the compost. But first you will need two buckets one with holes underneath and one with no holes and put the buket with the holes in first then the bucket with no holes in last. Add some little things called Bokashi and the put your orange peels and meat and all that stuff in there then leave it for about two weeks at least.

Hensel & Gretel and the scary old wolf.

Walht: summarize and take notes.

This week we revisited writing a summary and taking notes.

My teacher read this story to us and we had to write a summary using the
‘W’ words.

Here is my summary:
One day there were two little boys called Hansel and Gretel. After their Dojo class, they went back home and found huge fox footprints and noticed that their papa was gone
.They searched in the forest to find their papa and left breadcrumbs so when they
come back they won’t get lost.

Reflection:
I think I have a good understanding of writing a summary but  need a
little more practice.

Food for thought 31 July

On the 31 July a lady called Adele from heart foundation came to room 8 to talk to us about our healthiness. She was also telling us what we should eat and what we shouldn't.

She told us to not eat too much junk foods like ice cream, burgers, fries, pizzas and also chicken wings all else you'll be fat and obese and not be able run and walk around.

She also talked about eating veggies, nuts, eggs and also beans to keep us healthy and active. She explained to drink more water and milk to keep our muscles nice and strong.

Adele also played games with us to find per hundred grams on a cereal card.
We also played a game when we had to find the drink bottle with the less sugars
to the most sugars
Adele also asked us to stand up to do some exercise so we won't get tired.

I really enjoyed Adele coming to our class and teaching how to healthy and not eat junk food everyday.
