Addition and subtraction

 Addition and subtraction can be sloved by using two strategies:ncounting on/back. rounding and compensating.

Counting on is adding forward using fingers, when the number added is under ten. Counting back is subtracting using fingers, when the number subtracted  is under ten.

 Addition and subtractionRounding and compensating  is rounding the added or subtracted number to nearrest tidy number, then compensating for the rounding. Compensating is done by spliting the new number in the old number and the leftover.

Counting on/back and rounding and compensating are easy stategies to use for addition and subtraction, when numbers get too big to solved with basic facts.

Prototype

 My company, Design Company created a party popper.

In the beginning, we tested the rubber bands. We chose the medium size rubber band instead of the long thick rubber band. It ended very well in the first part.

Next We tested out all the materials. We chose paper cups instead of plastic cups.  We tested the paper cup because we wanted to see how good and far the filling go's. 

Last We did prototype we put the filling in to see how far it explodes the filling out. It ended very well.

I enjoyed ceating the party popper.

Animal Rescue Centre Poste

My group and I made a poster for the animal rescue book.

First we read a book about an animal rescue centre, we learned that kangaroos and possums need to be kept warm. The first part ended with me reading the animal rescue centre book.

Next we made a poster about an animal rescue centre.  

Lastly, we finished our poster and we did great.  

I enjoyed This because I learned a lot about animal rescue centres.  

Revision

We did revistion about all the things we did during the term. 

I answered questions in Maori, the questions were: Kei hea to hoa? which means where is your friend.

last I played a memory game that involves saying the maori words. 

I enjoyed this task because I answered all the questions and got them all correct.

Table Tennis

 I learned how to balance while using table tennis equipment.

First Mr Ogilve taught us how to hold a tennis bat, for example we have to hold it like we are shaking somones hand .

Next we had to hold the tennis ball and the tennis racket and bounce the ball, I bounced the ball eight times.

After I also bounced the ball backhand, I got 3 bounces.

Lastly we played a game on the table mat there was a callanger and a campion, I got to be the campion five times.

I enjoyed doing table tennis,I need to improve on throwing the ball back to my partner.
