Mixture of problem


Last week I was learning about Mixture of problems. For example Miss Berry
has a loille jar which has 502 lollies in it. If Miss berry gives out 217 lollies to her
student, how many lollies would see have left in the jar? A way I would do this is
 502 - 200 = 302. then 302 - 10 = 292. Then 292 - 7 = 285 .By solving this
problem I used partitioning . How would you solve this question?

Algebra


This week I have been learning about Algebra. Here is an example about
Algebra. 12x - 55=? The x will represent 15. So that mean 12 x 15= 110 .
Then 110 - 55= ? which will equal 55. That is an example of Algebra.

Kahu and Hokioi


Last week I was reading a book about Kahu and Hokioi. Kahu is a bird that
like t hunt big and small birds, Hokioi is a big and strong birds. Hokioi looks
fierce and dangerous. One day Kahu wanted to go and catch Hokioi so he could
eat him went Hokioi move just on time and he saw Kahu. Hokioi was thinking if he
would like to eat him but he didn't. Hokioi said to Kahu that he couldn't fly as high as
the Matata, which is a small bird that mostly lives on the ground and can't fly well.
kahu accept the challenge and off they went. Hokioi was flying higher then Kahu.
kahu saw a mice running away from a fire and Kahu thought he should go and catch
and eat it for dinner for him and has kids. What Hokioi didn't know was that Kahu
wasn't flying with him.

The year 7 three days of fun

Last term while the year 8 were having fun on camp the year 7 had there three days of fun all to ourselves. One the first day of our day we worked on our chromebook for 20 min and then watched a movie called Boy 2 Man. It was a relaxing time for us to enjoy. The year eight ledder who stayed behind handed out camuel pop corn. It was about a boy called malaga was run away from his Dad. He was 8 years of age. He hid from his dad in the street when a boy called Johno find him. He said what are you doing at in the cold. Malaga said he run away from his dad. Johno said he run away from his family along time ago and I’ve have been living in the street. Johno said that he would take care of Malaga. Malaga was a bite young then Johno by 5 years. They grow in the street up tell there were 15 years old they were still walking around the street. As year go on Malaga was with a family and Johno had a group of man in a gang. Malaga was going to a new college called James cook high school. Malaga was part of a dream class at the high school. He was the best dancer at of all of the student and they were preparing to compete other student from other college. On that day Johno also needed him but he wouldn’t let his dance crew down. So he went to the dancing competition and started dancing when in the middle of the dance competition one of the member from Johno crew called, if you don’t come your friend Johno will die, so Malaga run to his car and drove to the place he wanted him.  He arrived there and Johno and the other member was fighting when the  grab his screwdriver and run up to Johno to stab him but Malaga pushed Johno out of the way and Malaga get stab. He fell to the ground and he died. Johno was so sad, the next day they done a funeral for malaga. They said there goodbye.

On the second day we started making our flower layer. We were in group of four. We use lots of flower and pins.  Each rows had 5 in each. We were the first group to finish our flower layer. Once our group finish we help the other group with their flower. Some group couldn't finish there ones because they were out of pins so they had to cut the end of their layer.

One the third day of the fun week we made flowers to put around the pole for our year 8 to welcome them back from there three days of camp.  While we were finishing putting up some more flower layer on the pole the year 7 and the year 8 leaders watch some makalani movie from 2015. The table were already set in a line with pears on top. While we were watching the pastry mince and cheese were warming down. There were also coke for us. We were having a day off from work. After watching the movie miss muliaumasealii told us to go for a run before we would go and eat our delicious food. When we came back we sit in the street and started eating our food. It was delicious!!

At the end of the day Miss muliaumasealii give out prizes to the year eight ledder and the year 7s and also the management group. The management group was the one who prepared all of the food and the flowers for the year 8.
