Kawau Island!!

Walt: summarize a week long experience into a recount.

Home, sweet home. 4 tiring days doing exercise, exciting activities, and many more lasting memories. Yet I was still so glad that I made it back home. It was such a chaotic but fun experience at Kawau island, I almost passed out. So much FUN.

Me and the rest of the  year 6 students from Pt england school woke up at 5 in the morning to get ready to go to our camp.Tired and exhausted, we made our way to school. We packed our bags into the bus. We sat up quietly and waited for the teachers to dismiss us to the bus.  Seated in the bus we waved good-bye to our beloved ones. We were yelling and excited to go to Camp bentzon, singing songs loudly, enjoying the ride.

When we reached sandspit wharf. We cheered loud, waiting for the door to open. We sat down quietly waiting for the other passengers to go on the ferry, finally the were passengers aboard. A few minutes late, the year 6 students were getting ready to do our traditional haka. The haka was beautiful, and we were proud to show our respect to the people that lived at Camp Bentzon. Our class mates were proud and happy.

Once we got there, we got ready to walk up the KILLER HILL. That mountain was a KILLER to your LEGS, all we had to do was to put a rock up top of of other rocks. Once we reached the top we had a little bit to eat, then we had to walk to the other side of the mountain. We did this because the teachers were getting our cabins ready. I wasn't thinking about walk actually I didn't even care about it, all I was thinking about was our CABINS. Once we finished the walk I ran to our cabins and just layed in bed, it was so relaxing!

Four tiring days have passed and it was time to go home. Crying our eyes out because we didn't want to leave. As we packed our bags in the ferry and our leftover food, we said our good-byes and continued with going home. We yelled good-bye and screamed we miss you, tired from running and yelling. Some of us couldn't even wait to see their parents again.

What I thought about camp was, it was fun, exhausting and tiring. Camp Bentazon was fun and amazing, we miss every single part that we did at Kawau Island.  I thought that Kawau Island was the best Island I have ever been to, actually it's the only island I have been to.

We were learning to write about our experience at Kawau Island. We had to write and learn about we can remember what we thought about our experience. Hope you enjoyed this, leave a comment or feedback.

The Tui

Walt: gather and use information from a text
Today we are learning about birds and how they adapt to thrive through there lives. I chose the bird that represents the finest birds in New Zealand, I chose the tui. I had to research about the tui, find new facts, what was cool about it. We are doing this because for camp we are going to Kawau Island, this was to show us what we now about the birds.

Problem Solving!!!

WALT: Find a fraction of a number

To solve these problem's I had to find a fraction of a number. I learnt how to read a maths problem and then convert it into a math equation, I did this with my friend Revival, Yvonne and Venetia. Two of us in a group did a card each. We had to Participate and work together to find out what the answer is. At the end of the day our results were good and we all agreed to the answer. Hope you enjoyed My friends and I problem solving.

Problem Solving!!

WALT: Find equivalent fractions
WALT: Find a fraction of a number

I learnt that if you have more than one question that can be solved the same way, you can look back at the other ones to solve it again. That is what I did in the problem solving to solve my answer and to improve on my maths to get better and better. I hope that I can learn more interesting things about maths, and hope to share to you.

Problem Solving!!!

WALT: Find a fraction of a number
WALT: Simplify fractions

Today we learnt all about how to find a fraction in a number. My friends and I thought it was really, some of it was really hard to put it in a sentence. So please leave a comment of what I need to improve on.

A recount tells your reader what happened from your point of view.
