Making a chain

WALT: 1 .write  a recount

           2. integrate maths and writing

On monday we made a chain by using A5 paper.  Making a chain was so easy use these equipment and having partner. My partner name was lorenzo.

First me and lorenzo had to estimate how long would chain would be. So both of us had to discuss  how long would our chain would be. So we have to plan how can look like and how long would it be?. Show when we finished discussing we started to make our chain.

Next we use the ruler and draw lines on the A5. Then we cut them into strips of A5 paper.

Then we use the glue to stick the top and the bottom of the strips to make a circle. Then we did the same thing repeating  the pattern by connecting the other strips.

Then we measure our chain with the metre to  see the length of our chain. So we measure it the chain the Length we had was 170 cm.

Finally I recorded my length of the chain and our teacher shared us a sheet to do comparison by using Mean, Median, Mode and range.

A day at the beach

Yesterday my family and I decided to do something in our life. We decided to go to the beach.

While we are at home getting ready to go to the beach, there was some family problem which was  my brother and my mum started to argue about him staying home. So I told my mum it’s his choice If he wanna stay or come. Then I got frustrated with both of them arguing so I decided to take my Staff and walk away. Just after my brother decided to come with us.

First we walked through the park then we walk left side. It was 12:35 and we were almost there .

It was cool to spend time with my family talk to them and sharing things. So we cross the road

So it was only my dad and I who crossed while the others went and got something to eat for us.

When we finished walking while the others were gone I ask him “ Have you ever wonder you have feeling there is going to be an argument”. So he replied to me “ Yes”. When I saw others walking I was thinking that they walk very slow. I was laughing to myself because I was making jokes about them.

When they arrived at Point England Beach ,we have to find a spot for us to do some fishing and to relax. Then we found a spot for us to enjoy ourselves. We found a big rock to relax there. Luckily we brought our mat to lay on. When we got there we put our mat down and we had fish and chips. So we had to wait for the tide to come in. My mum brought some squid from the fish shop in Glen innes. We used the squid for our bait. I almost caught a fish. It was biting my bait. But the fish got away.

Thereafter we shifted to the rock beside us. I was really mad because we had the spot first. When we climbed up the hill. We relax there and waited for my brother and my dad to get  some fish. But no luck.

Finally we went home empty handed.

It was a very good day

Second picture: 1 whole is divided into hundredths

Third picture :  1 whole is divided into thousandths

Last picture : cut the tenths, hundredths, thousandths

This week  we were learning  about deci-mats. On my first picture  I color brown to represent the deci- mats. On my second picture brown to represent the deci-mats. Then on my third picture I color purple to represent the deci- mats. Today on my last picture I cut a piece from each paper.

But when I found out that the thousands was the smallest and  I felt really shocked.
