Place Value

I am learning  place value. In 9,813 in which place is the 8 and I’ve chosen hundreds because as you can see there are 4 digits and the place value of 9 is a thousand.  So it goes thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. So the place value of 8 is hundred.  I think this is easy, all you have to do is just find out the number in which place value. But this depends if you know your place value really well.  I will like to learn LCM next.

Race Relations Day 2

This was the Race Relations Day.  When all the children came into the hall they shared their speech in their first language. To be honest, I wish I could speak in many different languages. 

Race Relation Day

On Friday, it was Race Relations Day and half of Glen Innes School came in the cultural costume.  Mrs Gounder was telling us about herself.  She is a Fijian Indian. She came to New Zealand from Fiji. She is a teacher who teaches in room 3.

Quiz Question

I am learning estimation.  What is the nearest to 148 x 75, I’ve choosen 100 x 80 because 148 is the nearest to 100..  75 is the  nearest to 80.  I think this is an easy estimation question because it wasn’t that challenging and the point was to use the nearest 100 and tens.  I think I need to learn more about integers because I think its really difficult.

Reading my e-book to Cashis

I read my e-book about basketball to Cashis from room 8.  Cashis was too shy so I decided to read it to him.  While I was reading to him he was listening. When I finished reading to him I had the next child from room 8 and I also read to her.

Capital Letter

I have been learning to practise my capital letters .  I have to find out what letter to change into a capital letter.  First, I read the story and then I change it.  A capital letter is only for a name, I or for the beginning of a sentence. I fixed the sentence and l carried on. If I get it wrong Mrs Granny will get really angry. It was easy and next I want to learn punctuation.

Integers

Today, my group and I were learning about integers.  I find this really easy and a little bit difficult because sometimes I don't understand what Miss is talking about, maybe its because I don't listening that much. I see that maybe I'm ready to learn about hills and dales. 

Vegetables Dye

Today we were learning about vegetable dyes.  There were 5 different vegetables and their were beetroot, onion skins, red silverbeet, turmeric, carrot.  We only pill each of the vegetables skins. The way I see the dye it all look brighter than its natural colour.  They all look like this.
