Preparing for Advent!

In R.E, room 7 we have been learning about how Christians prepare for Advent. I made a poster showing how Christians prepare for Advent.

Probability with Cans

Slimy snail

Fishy Fish

Worm juice

Worm juice

Slimy snail

We are learning about probability. The probability for the following is:

slimy snail-                 worm juice-                 fishy fish-

fraction: 2/5                2/5                              1/5

ratio: 1:2:2                  1:2:2                           1:2:2

percentage: 40%        40%                            20%

decimal: 0.4                0.4                             0.2

Probability and Ratios

In room 7 we have been looking at probability and ratios. Probability is the chance of something that could happen, and a ratio is the parts of a whole amount.

Soft worm 3, rusty nail 1. The ratio for this is 3:1. Soft worm= 3/4 and rusty nail= 1/4. The probability for this is that it is likely to get soft warm, and its unlikely to get rusty nail.

Three in One Birthday Party!

In the weekends I went to a birthday party. It was my nana’s, auntie’s and cousin’s birthday party. It was held at my nana’s house.

An hour after I got there, I decided to play cricket with my other cousins. Some of the adults also wanted to play so they decided to join. After a while I got thirsty. One of my aunties was really good at batting. It took a long time to get her out, I eventually bowled her out.

After cricket was over, my dad thought that we could play dodge ball, so we did. I was the first one to get hit. Then I hit my older cousin with the ball. After that, I wasn’t becoming much of a target as I dodged most of the balls by not moving! Sometimes I did get hit but I kept aiming for the adults. After dodge ball, we played bull rush. I found that it was easy for me even though I was bigger than my cousins. The birthday party was really long because we were there for 5 hours.

I really liked the cake, there were at least three cakes. It was a long and hot birthday party, but it was worth it.

Changes of Matter Experiments!

In room 7 we had to made a presentation about the experiments we had done.

History of the America's Cup!

In room 7 we learnt about the history of the America's Cup. We made a timeline to show the history of the America's Cup in order.

Christening of New Junior Playground!

Today the whole school went to the new junior playground after Mass, to watch father Michael Bless the playground. It was starting to get cold while we were standing there. The Kapa Haka group sang a song. I thought that the Kapa Haka group did great. It took a while before the ceremony finished. Everyone was happy after it was done because it meant that our playground is now blessed.
