Hurray! THIS IS THE FINAL DAY OF TERM 1

Im super hyped and very excited that it's the last day of term 1.  I’ve done 95% good this term and I’m looking forward to be doing all my homework in the holidays .

The things I did well this term were working well with others, being a role model to my friends and speaking confidently. I feel I need to work on using various strategies in maths and using more similes and descriptive language in my writing.

I would do a lot of maths, reading and writing at home, school and during the holidays to make things better next term. I felt joyful working in room 10 this term because I am a tuakana and I get to teach the teinas.

Volleyball Champions

Me and my team were so excited as we arrived at the volleyball stadium. We trained so hard at school and knew we were going to win. As my team and I went inside, we went up the stairs and put our bags on the chairs. We sat down and watched some very good schools practicing. I saw a lot of familiar students and met a lot of new students too.

After watching the amazing schools practice we decided to go down to the volleyball court to practise our serving. Well we were practicing our serving, suddenly our first volleyball game was on against Ruapotaka school. I was the first server and I was so nervous because there were lots of people, but the year 8’s and 7’s representing for Glenbrae school were cheering me on.

As they were cheering me on, I felt super confident and focused in the middle. My mighty hands swung and KAPOW!!, the ball flew right in the air. The ball was flying like a bird right in the middle and then…….. I SCORED!!!.  I felt proud of myself and now on I was 100% confident.

20 minutes later the games was over. We won and my team and I were so happy. We had lunch and drank lots of water so we can be fully hydrated for our next game. 15 minutes later our next game was on. We won again to Stan hope school. My teammate Gideon was on fire. He was serving it all day long getting lots of points for our team.

A few moments later we beat Stone fields. My teammates Jasel and Jaydin  were amazing and were contributing the best with others.

Another few hours later we were in the finals against Pt.England school. My whole team Pinomi, Jaydin, Jasel, Penelope, Victoria.F, Pitara, Ali-jon and Gideon were focusing and were communicating to each other throughout the game. We like got the amount of 1000 points and we were very sure we were going to win. The referee blew the whistle and the game was over. In 3 seconds, I screamed like a girl and hugged my whole team with a humongous smile on my face. We dominated Pt.England school and were 1,000,000% HAPPY!!.

Finally my team and I went back to school still with the smile on our faces.

The Big Fair

My legs were very wobbly, as I walked in the most biggest fair I've been to…... The Sacred Heart College Fair. As soon as I took one step through the gates I zoomed myself to the tip top area to either buy me an Popsicle or an ice-cream. I chose to buy an slushy Popsicle. It was only for $2. I grabbed and took a little munch. It was so delicious and I was hoping to get another one, but I chose to do something else.

I had 3 more dollars left and I was thinking so hard what I should buy. I looked everywhere and saw yummy candy floss, tasty kettle corn and lots of different sweets. As I was looking around I saw something fantastic. It was glorious and looked so fun. It was a…... Bouncy Castle like 1,000,000 meters long. I bought a ticket and had so much fun jumping, bumping and flipping.

After doing fun stuff I went back to eat and waited for my family to have the same amount of fun I had. 3 hours later, my family and I packed all our stuff, ate a little bit more and then traveled back home.

I had the most amazing-est day of my life. I hope next year's fair will be much, much funner the this year's one.

Friday Night

Friday Night, I was so hyped to watch the ultimate rugby game Warriors vs Titans. It started at 8.00. It was so amazing to watch it while screaming and laughing with my family. My family and I screamed so loud our eyes nearly popped out.

As the first half finished, I teleported to the kitchen and munched on a delicious banana and drank some milk. After I finished eating I teleported again back to couch and continued watching the game.

1 hour later the game was over. Guess who won. It was the…..Warriors. My family and I were so happy and were so tired. We went to sleep and dreamed what will happen next Friday Night.

W.A.L.T Solve division and Multiplication problems using various strategies

There are 125 students in a school. They were given some sketching pencils by an Art supplies store. If each student received 8 sketching pencils each how many pencils are there altogether?

            125x8=
            100x8=800
            20x8=160                                   
           5x8=40
           800+160+40=1000
 
B) If there were 25 pencils in a packet,how many packets of pencils did they receive.
     
B)  1000 divided by 4=250#
          25x4=100
          250x4=1000
