The most expensive country that I could find.

I watched this video about a boy who drew a picture of a butterfly. He drew a draft. He drew 6 drafts before he got his finished butterfly. His friends gave him lots of Ideas to help him with this his drawing.    His butterfly looked amazing at the end. Here is the link to watch the video.
In class we had to find a really expensive country. New Zealand was an expensive country.
Here it is.

This work wasn't good quality. It din't show my working out, and it only told you what the word and answer was. I did another draft to tell you how I worked it out. Here it is.

LP3

LP3 - WALT read and respond to text. Here are a few texts. Plus I don't want to change the the NZ flag because the people who went to war fought under this flag and I like the design the way it is.

The negatives of changing our flag is because people could get confused on what flag we are using and the positives to this is that some people might not like the flag and want to change it.

Here is a photo of our survey that I did enjoy.

My comment

Here is my comment that I did on buddy challenge day. Here it is.


What was my highlight. My highlight was doing the stepping stones with Joy. I liked this task because we had to work in a group and I enjoyed working with my buddy and my team.
What did I find challenging? I found the blind fold challenge hard because my buddy din't know the difference between left and right.
Who did I notice being a great role model? I noticed Gemma being a great role model because she was helping her buddy as well as helping another little girl who din't have a buddy.
Who did I notice showing perseverance in a task?
I noticed my buddy showing perseverance in a task because she couldn't reach a stepping stone and she kept trying bet always touched a slight bit of the grass. Then she realized that she could ask me to move the stepping stone closer.

Comment

For 1 of our prorates  and species tasks we had to write a comment on the blog poutama rama's blog. We could choose what our comment could be about. Here's my comment.

My buddy Mikaela

Maths problem solving

Elly has 9 sections of her fence that needs panting. It took 1.5 hours to paint three sections. How much longer will it take her to finish panting the fence?

Our working out. 

First we drew 9 fence posts. Then we colored 3 of the fence posts we worked out that it was 1.5 hours. Then we colored another 3 fence posts that also took 1.5 hours then we colored the last three posts which again took 1.5 hours.

After that we did this problem solving.

1.2 + 1.2 +1.2= 4 hours. 

Then we went 3 + 1+ 2. 

                          We then got our our Answer! 4.2

Maths games

Georgia Rosalind and I figured out this maths question. Here is the evidence

Bookpedia reading goal term 1

My goal is to: Compare and contrast a variety of different texts.

The reason I have decided to focus this goal is: Because Stephen set this goal for me and I think that I should work on it because I don't think I have mastered it! As a reader comparing an contrasting is important because it makes you understand the book better.

I will accomplish my goal by: Comparing books together that are close to the same book but having a different piece of information than the other.

I will know I have achieved my goal when I can discuss the similarities and differences between ideas in a book.

Art

We did some art today. Here is mine, our W.A.L.T was to use our colors effectively. First we had to color the pictures in lots of different colors. Then Ebony took a picture of me doing the splits. After that I cut out the picture and put it on the black piece of paper. I cut it out again and glued it on the colorful piece of paper. Then I was done. Here is my art that I did. Enjoy!
