Basic facts test

Today in maths I did a basic facts test online. I was on stage 6. On stage 6 I got 4 wrong in the adding and subtracting to 1000. I think if I keep learning how to work out how to add and subtract to 1000 I will master this stage. 

Happy birthday - grandma

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!

The pythons dinner

WALT: work with two others to write a narrative.

One hot afternoon, an African Rock Python felt very hungry. He needed to eat. He decided to seek out his prey. The python thought that maybe most of his prey might be near a water source so he thought he had to find a lake as clear as a crystal. “Hssss,” the python was desperate for food as he slithered through the dirt. The pythons process was slow.....but steady. He finally reaches a water source. A lake in the middle of nowhere. He could hold his breath for 15 minutes then.......

The python said “ I’m ready to eat those stinky springboks”. The python waited till dawn for a springbok to arrive. The python waited and waited for the stupid springbok to arrive, but it never came. It was getting darker and the python was still waiting. “Grrrrrr”. The python's stomach was growling. Poor python was waiting too long for those springbok to arrive. He was feeling tired and almost decided to give up.

Then the next day, a huge herd of springbok rushed down to the lake like fast cheetahs. “MMMM YUMMY YUMMY, HERE THEY COME,” the python said happily. The stupid springbok stood on the edges and they drank the water for a long time. The python jumped up with its mouth open wide and swallowed the springbok. “Dinner was YUMMY”  

The python was lucky enough that the springbok was big which meant that the python didn’t need to eat for another whole year.

Reflections

I think that this was easy for me because my grouped worked well and we wrote a perfect story. I wish to work with partners when we do writing because it is easier, faster and also because I like working in a group.

Grammar - present tense

In this game I had to read the sentence and then I had to fill in the gap with one of the words that were given above the sentence. I thought this was easy because I knew my present tense. I would like to play more of this but challenging ones. Next I will like to learn about possessive nouns.

Maths test

WALT: do a maths test

For maths, I did a basic facts test online. I was doing stage 6. I did this stage many times because I kept getting the adding and subtracting to 1000 wrong. In this I needed to know my addition, subtraction, adding and subtracting to 1000, and multiplication. I only got 2 wrong in this test. I am now on to stage 7.

Ratio blaster

In this game, I had to find the equal ratio of these above. To solve this I needed to know my equal ratios. When I first played it, I found it hard but then as I played it a few times I started to get a good understanding of it. I went up to level 4. I still think I need to play this game because I want to get up to a higher level than 4. Next I want to learn about proportion.
