Ayrin's learning frenzy

Last week we did a few things. Maths: we did  a test on algebra, decimals and fractions. For decimals we had to find what was shaded in and then circle the correct one in decimal form, we also had to order decimals for smallest to largest. For fractions we had to simplify and read the question and write the answer in fraction form. To simplify them we had to write down what the smallest fraction you could make it. For algebra we had to find the pattern and write it in algebra form, and find the next pattern using what our knowledge of the pattern was. Robotics: we had to do our tracks again and do the same stuff as last week but this week we were aloud to build ramps that were made out od coloured plastic. The group that I was in didn't get round the whole track in time to build a ramp. Reading: for reading our group did a character task were we had to read a piece of writing and write down what the types of characters there were and also write in evidence so the teacher knows ...

Last week was probably the best week of the year because we did a lot of things that I really enjoyed such as math, reading and robotics. In maths we learnt how to solve equations using backtracking, after the first lesson I was puzzled had no idea what to do but the next day when we came back down to learn it more I finally understood and it felt good to know something that I didn't know before.In reading my group did some comprehension sheets our first one was about a poem and our second one was about something real. In our questions for the first test I only got one wrong but I know where I went wrong. In the real life one I got two wrong with the first one I knew where I went wrong but on the second one I know what I did wrong as well and it was a stupid mistake.For robotics we got together in a pair again and built our tracks but this time with different wood and a different speed. My buddy was Emily we worked together on building up our speed so that it could go around the tr...

Last week in we did robotics and it was really fun we got together in pairs and we made a track for our sphero's to drive in incase you don't know what sphero's are they are little circular robots. So everyone enjoyed it and you had to make a program that made your sphero go around the whole track without touching anything. Last week we also did some writing we did argument writing about weather every school in New Zealand should have a school uniform or every school in New Zealand should have the same uniform. My choice in picking was agreeing with every school in New Zealand should have a school uniform because i liked that topic nut my main reason is that when I thought about it I had more to write about it than the other topics. We did some inquiry in inquiry we are doing the holocaust what we have to do is pick an activity and my activity is a child. For my activity I have to read the story and answer some questions and do a visual presentation of what my child is...

Term 2 Goals This term my goals are to get another band because by the end of the year I would like to be able to have my bronze badge. This term I would also like to achieve a better result in my maths and a better attitude to learning. What I really want to achieve is a high standard in my work as for now it is average and I think that I can make a big improvement and when I do I will try to keep those improvement's up until the end of the year. My biggest goal this term is to get my work finished and handed in on time. Term 2 Week 1 Reflection Last week we did a lot of work but mainly maths. In maths we learnt how to find the pattern in algebra. Our steps to finding it were simple first you find out what the difference is in between each number then for example if the number were 1 3 5 7 the difference would be to 2 so then you would find the second part of the rule by going 1-2 that would be -1 so your rule is ×2-1 but to write the rule properly you would write 2n-1.Then ou...
