SSR Selfie | Pokemon The Chikorita Challenge

I read 17 pages of  Pokemon The Chikorita Challenge by Tracey West.

The story is about Ash thinking its cool that Chikorita has joined his Pokemon Team. But the newest member of his Pokemon squad is jealous of Pikachu. The rest of his team is scared that Chikorita might be jealous and try to attack Pikachu.

I really liked that even if they are having a disagrement the still protect each other.

Problem Solving

 I completed a task called problem solving. We were split into four different groups and solved a problem using place value, rounding and compensating and written algorithm.

The problem we solved was: A farm received a total of 119 millimetres of rain over a 2 month period. If 48 millimetres of rain fell on the farm in June, how many millimetres of rain fell on the farm in month 2?

First we used place value to solve the problem. first we do the ones:

119 - 48 = ??

Ones - 9 - 8 = 1

Tens - 10 - 40 is not possible so we have to add the hundred to the ten.

110 - 40 = 70.

Last step is to combine the two answers. 70+1, So 71 millimetres fell on the farm on the second month.

It was hard because I was confused when we couldn't add in the tens columm.

Typing

 I did a can-do activity called dance typing mat. 

I went on dancing typing mat and set up a 15 minute timer. 

 I put my fingers on the home row keys. 

Play I put in my results on a google slide and wrote what do I need to inprove on.

I need to improve on typing these characters  e, s, t, ;.

SSR Selfie

 I read 13 pages of Diary of a Minecraft Zombie.

This story is about a zombie called Zack and his family coming together for their 100th year reunion.

This book is instresting because Zack human friend Steve comes to help him.

Poetry

I completed a task called Poetry. This task is where I had to find items around my house and turn them into peoms.

Next I had to think of a verb that were longer then four letters. The verb I thought of was communicate.

Afterwards I wrote what I did that had colours on it.  The colours are : gray eels, red gummys, blue bike, golden chicken nuggets, orange toy, brown carpet, white ipad, green kiwi fruit, pink bag, yellow banana, purple doritos.

This task was fun becuase I got to move around my property instead of doing nothing.

SSR Selfie | The Tree Hut Treaty

 I read a rua tekau pages of a pukapuka called The Tree Hut Treaty.

It is about 4 kids Tia, Manaia, Crystal and Jack building a tree hut, but the argue about who owns the tree. Soon they used their knowlegde about The Treaty of Waitangi and made rules for their tree hut.

I enjoyed this story because it shows that arguing will never get ahead, but if you work as a team then there will be no problems.

Madlibs

  Today I did a group activity with my class called Madlibs. 

We got into groups and write down a girls name, kitchen utensil, an action you do to someone, a pop star, number under ten, a colour, and an eating utensil.

First, We wrote down a girls name, which is Jessica.

Next, We wrote down a kitchen utensil which is a fork.

Then, We wrote down an action you do to someone, which is slap.

Then, We wrote down a pop star, which is Michael Jackson.

Then, We wrote down a number under 10, which is 5.

After, We wrote down a colour, which is green.

Lastly, We wrote down a eating utensil.

This activty was challenging because we couldn't communicate with each other.
