12 Days Of Mixed Emotions

The past twelve weeks have been amazingly exhausting. The year 8's have been to food tech for the past 12 weeks. We have had our ups and downs with our teacher. I did enjoy going, but some people spoil it for the good ones.

The two Favorite dishes that I made were fried rice and sweet and sour beef. The reason I chose fried rice and sweet and sour beef out of all dishes is because it was full of taste and colour. It was absolutely mouth watering when Chloe and I completed the dish. The taste was like happiness falling into our mouth. The smell was out of this world, and the combination of the colours was indescribable.

I hated doing the dishes and cleaning everything, but the people who surrounded me made cleaning entertaining. Most of the teams would eat then clean, but Chloe and I would always clean before we sat down to enjoy our meal. We did this so we didn’t have to worry about the dirty dishes.

Yes, we did have our ups and downs with our food tech teacher. We were also mistakenly blamed for things we didn’t do. It was kind of hard to understand her talk because she’s Tongan, but some people took it the wrong way. Its hard to remember the last time we all just focused on our work. But I clearly remember when Ms. V came in to help us with our brownies.

We do need to work on our noise level and respect the teacher more, but other than that I enjoyed being in food tech.

Gem Division Game

gems.jpg
Walt: Find how many sets.

This weeks maintenance is a gem division game. It just basically helps you revise your multiplication facts. I found it a bit easy. There were levels that said easy, medium and hard, but its all the same. Next time I would like something more challenging, so maybe if I don’t really know it I can learn something new. It didn't tell me my score but, for sure I know I got 100% because I got it all right.

Reflection - Basic facts

My basic facts test 2 stage 6 score was 586.
I did well in sorting the numbers out from big to small, writing words into numbers and multiplication and division. I need to work on my place value and using symbols < > =.

I need to do more homework on my place value and using symbols. My siblings and friends must help me improve more on areas I need help. I can ask the teacher to give me more work on place value. For me to get to the next stage I need to work my hardest on the main areas I need help on to get 100%.

Chopper Challenge Operation

Walt: Revise multiplication and division facts.

This game was to refresh our minds on learning our times tables. I found this quite easy.

My strategy for this game is quick recall of my multiplication tables. I was slow therefore my score was low. I need to practise and get much faster. I would like to get close to Keanau’s score of 4356.

My Servey

My walt this week is Plan an investigation. Display data. I have been finding out what kind of animals students would prefer to be for a day. It was tricky for them to choose out of 4 animals. As I was finding my information, I didn't think it was hard at all. People understood my main question and could easily follow my instructions. About only 1 or 2 students did not understand, but they got the hang of it fast.

Although I don’t really like maths, going around to people and surveying them was alright. I found quite a lot information in my survey. It was really surprising to find out that most students from Glen Innes School would rather be a for cheetah for a day. Maybe everyone chose cheetah because of how fast it is.

There are so many things I would like to learn about. But what I mostly want to learn is alegra. I would like to try my hardest to improve at it.

Football Place Value


This game is called Football Place Value. Basically you try to throw the football ball at team members. You do have a time limit so its all about how fast you can answer these questions. Once they catch the ball, you have to answer a place value question. For example:

824 602 : What is the place value of 2?

  1. hundreds
  2. ten thousands
  3. tens
  4. hundred thousands

Every time you throw the ball to you team mate, the answers you get will get harder.
Maybe you should give this game a go. Click the link below to check it out.
