Infographic - Earthworms

I made an infographic to show facts about earthworms. I also included photos to make the infographic more interesting. These are only a little bit of facts about earthworms. I think that there are more, but these are the facts about Earthworms that I know...

Basic Facts on Prototec

Name: Jazire

Today I sat Stage 8 Timed on prototec. I got 75%, or 30/40. I think I could have done better...

The part I found difficult was Percentages, fractions & decimals. Another hard part of the test was Factors and Multiples. I will try to gain more knowledge about these things in order to improve, and in order to get a higher score next time.

Treasure Quest Multiplication

Today for maths, I played around with a treasure hunting multiplication game on a site called Maths Playground. I had a target, which was a number, and then I had a multiplication chart. I had to find my target as many times as the game had asked me to. For example, if my target was 9, and there was a little 3 on the top left side above the 9, I would have to find 9, 3 times. This game was really fun and I would love to play it again!

Basic Facts - Fact Monster

Today for Basic Facts, I used a site called Fact Monster. It is a maths site you can use to practise all types of maths strategies.  I chose to practise my tables, and I clicked on Level 7, the highest and hardest level. I answered 8 questions correctly in 2 minutes…

Basic Facts on Integers

Today I did some maths on Maths Playground. The rules of the game were that, there were two numbers under every one number, which meant that the two numbers totaled up to the number on top of it. It was pretty difficult to understand, but I now know how to play the game. I also solved the whole pyramid in under 2 minutes!

Matariki Poems

Matariki is the Maori new year

When the seven stars will appear

We can predict what the coming year will be like

From how clearly we can see them with our naked eyes

The legends behind it fascinates us.

Matariki is celebrated in many different ways

Adults are busy preparing the hangi

Kids  are having fun flying their kites

Stories are shared by elders

These are few of many activities we do to celebrate Matariki.

Limerick

The stars they shine in the night

They blind us with their lights

Then they disappear

But have no fear

They will come back into sight
