Today in maths I have been learning about fractions. In this game I had to click on a fraction and then a number as the fraction. It is easy for me because I know my fractions and it was easy for me when I started to. If you would like to go on this game this click on the site below.

Duffy Hero Assembly

Duffy Hero Assembly

WALT:Write a recount

This morning room seven to twelve went to the hall because a man named Matthew a recording producer came to our school. Matthew,  a Samoan and when he was a little kid he went to Favona School.

First we greeted Matthew and then we sang the national anthem. But it was a little different because Matthew started it off. He came to our school because we had a duffy hero assembly and he told us why it is important to read. Also he brought some stuff with him and the stuff he brought was a keyboard,microphone,headphones and a voice tube that was connected to the keyboard. He told us why it is important to read because if we can’t read then it things will be hard to do because if you are a recording producer or a singer it will be hard to sing because you wouldn't know what to sing.

Next he asked if he could have a volunteer who would be confident singing in front of the school.Guess what! Someone from our class (Room 11)  went up and it was Robin. When he went up he put the headphones on and then Matthew said that there are 2 rooms one recording room and the other room a singing room. After he explained about that he told Robin he can sing his song so Robin sang Who’s lovin you by Michael Jackson. When Robin was finished singing he went back to his seat.

Then Matthew told us to say “It’s cool  to read” as loud as we can. After he told us to say that he asked us if we had any questions and there were a lot of hands up because they wanted to ask questions of course. One of the studies asked if Matthew could sing us a song on the audio tube and he did and the song he sang was the national anthem and it sounded cool.

Lastly after he sang the song he helped Mr hendricks give out the Duffy books to the people who went to the library and choose 2 more books. Then it was time for Matthew to go and for us to start learning.

I thought that it was a cool Duffy Hero Assembly. It is important to read so keep reading !!!! :)

WALT:Positing Fractions on the number line


In this game you have to place the number on the number line. This game is hard because I don’t really know where the number goes on the number but I know what 1 whole is. I need to learn more about positioning numbers on the number line.

St Patrick's

17 March 2015

Walt:Explain the legends of St Patrick.

In Britain there was a man named Maewyn Succat who was born in 387 AD. His parents names were Calphurnius and Conchessa. Also later in life Pope Celestine gave Maewyn a new name and that was St Patrick. He didn’t like the attitude of british towards Irish. Also St Patrick was kidnapped when he was sixteen years old by Pagan Irish

When he got kidnapped as a slave. Every night in his dreams he saw god and that god told him to escape and have his freedom. When he was a teen he spent his teen years as a shepherd.

When he was travelling it took him 28 years to get where he wanted to go to. Then he went to his family and his home. Also he wanted to be a priest. St Patricks died at soul downtime Ireland 17 March 461 AD at age of 76.

Also St Patricks use to be blue but then green and in British if you don’t wear green you get pinched. A shamrock is a clover and and a 3 leaf clover is for St patrick’s and a 4 clover is for good luck.

My Best Holiday

My Best Holiday was when I went to Australia with my Nana and Aunty and my little cousin for my other cousins 12th birthday.

Firstly when we arrived to Melbourne my aunt came to pick us up from the airport then we went to their house and when we arrived to the house my cousins ran out of the house to hug us. When we were done hugging we got our bags and putted them in the room and then me and my cousins got the big mattresses and putted it in front of the tv in the lounge.

Next day we went to the market and when we got their my aunt brought us a drink and as soon as we got a drink, Mia accidentally dropped her drink and my aunty started laughing. There after we went to the park and Mia,Laney and I wanted to go to the dairy to get some lollies for us and the little kids and luckily my aunt said “yes” and so then we had to wait to go home. When we got home we went straight to shops but before we went to the shops we rode a bike.

When we went to the shops I asked them “Can I go to the mall please” and they replied “Why” but I didn’t tell them why I just took off to the mall, I went to the mall to get Mia a present because of her birthday. Lastly when we got home I hid the present until the next day and at midnight I asked Mia “How does if feel to be 12” and then I gave her my present.
