MATH SESSION: Year,5,6,7 and 8
Kia Ora and talofa everyone, today we tried doing some bid-mas.
I got the hang of it after doing 2 levels and then I repeated the levels again to make sure I have learnt the ability to do it. Each day we are learning something new whether it is algebra or numeracy. It is always exciting learning new things. As we continued with the session, we were talking about how many transum trophies we each all had. Well, that is all.Thank you for reading my writing.

WRITING - PERSUASIVE PIECE
Kia Orana everyone, today I made a little piece of writing about why we should learn abut more cultures and celebrate when it is their day. Here it is.
PURPOSE: To persuade
AUDIENCE: Peers
WALT: Use persuasive/emotive language
CONTEXT: What if we could celebrate all religious or other celebrations
STORY:
Celebrations, What are celebrations?
Well,to start, they are joyous celebrations and reflective celebrations.
How come we do not have these at school. It will help in writing to talk about it and would it be pleasing to only celebrate some cultures instead of most of them. It should only be a day to learn about it. If we had a choice would you pick our education or not. and Eid
Eid is a religious festival and is for spiritual reflection.It is at the end of the 10th lunar month. Worldwide, Muslim people celebrate it as a time to be gathered as a family or group.They start with morning prayers and gifting people. Eid is the time when they put on their finest costumes like dresses and suits.
Diwali
It originated in India , it is a worldwide celebration for hindu people from October till November. People Decorate pathways with patterns called rangoli. They are beautiful pathways, the patterns are amazing. It is known to be called “the light festival”.
These are the countries that celebrate these wondrous celebrations. Have you ever celebrated them? Well,no but we could start. I hope you lean into this idea. It is your choice.
Thanks for reading my Writing!!!
Transum - Particular Pipes
Kia Ora, today we had a session with Mrs Allan. It was all about percentages. So my sibling and sister gave me the idea to practice how to do percentages so I can in hence that capability of doing it for the upcoming year. It is fun to learn about something that I will only need to have capability in a year so that is incredible.
It is so fun connecting with my sister when she helps me and I help her. To think really that lock down is really that bad and humid because it is is but there are sections of this lock down I will cherish. The work that I did explains to understand percentages. I t is really important because as you grow older it will help make it better and way more easier in life.
So, I did all the puzzles that I saw and I first did not know about it clearly but as I went further I understood it and actually thought it was easy. Here is an image below that I had took because of my great achievement. How I did my first question was just seeing if it was an even number and my options above it.My choice selections were 100%, 33.3%, 50%, 25%, 20%, and last of all 10%. I had to use 4 pieces so I started with small numbers and had to use my division skills. I did 20+20+20+ 60 and needed a big number that had to be 50% because there was the number 50 left in the total to make my answer.
THANK YOU FOR READING MY WRITING!!!
