Maths maths and obviously maths

Maths is fun and helps us learn. Here's a strategy
2+2 is 4
so 20+20 will have to be 40
so that means 200+200 is 400 (OLIVIA)

Computer Time

We are using writing this week to write on our blog. Our job is to take photos and to put them on our class blog.

MATHS MATHS MATHS

Today we had to write down all the strategies we know in maths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jumping up the numberline to the next tidy number to solve + and - problems.

36 + ? = 59

36 + 4 = 40

40 + 19 = 59

so 19 + 4= 23

so 36 + 23 = 59

The long assembly

Ring ring ring it's time for the assembly, I think.  "Pack up" says Whaea Aroha. After we finish packing up she says, "It's time to line up".  We line up outside and then we start to leave. Then we sit down on the tarpaulin.  after a while the assembly starts. After about an hour they called up the bus people, unfortunately I was on the bus. I had come 2nd in the Easter Poster Competition and didn't get my prize. I had to wait until the next week to get it! I won a chocolate Easter Bunny.

Ocean

My mame is Ocean. I was born in Nelson Hospital in New Zealand in 2003. I am the youngest child of 9. Two of my sisters live in Wellington. They are the amazing Sam and Amanda. One of my brothers lives in Perth. He is the unbelievable Corey. Awesome Chris lives in Hamilton. My other amazing brothers are Tony, Kodi and Storm. My awesome mum is Monique and my unbelievable dad is Phillip.

When I was a tidy baby I was the only child of 9 who used a d pacifier. One time I lost it and I couldn't do anything but cry. Luckily my parents found it in my toy car. My toy car is over six years old and I can still ride in it. It has been passed down from me to my niece Lily and then down to my other niece Jasmine.

My dream job is to be a basketball player. I play basketball at school and at home. I really hope I get the job someday, but I love cricket too. One time I got half a century against my brother Storm. Another time we even played in the rain and that was fun.

But the very best thing about me is that I give my very best at everything.
