Tuna & Takakau

Last week throughout the first three days ( Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ) we had tuna and takakau coming in. It was a competition, for both the tuna and takakau, the tuna was to see who weighed the most whose was the longest and whose was the widest and the takakau was to see whose was the better taste, texture and better looking because you could decorate it. If you bought in a tuna it had to be a short fin tuna, then it’ll get measured and weighed. It was definitely a fun week doing all that. It was fun getting to taste the takakau and getting to look at how big some of the tuna were. 
I’m sorry for having a non interesting blog post and being a bit slack. I couldn’t exactly think of much but I hope you get a little sum of what I was saying : ) *Also sorry again for not getting in any photos.

Maromaku Day!

Last week some of us students had the opportunity to go to Maromaku, Maromaku Day is a day where a couple of schools get together from around the Bay of Islands and play some sports. The sports that are played at Maromaku is Netball and Rugby. I played in the Netball team, the first team we played was Moerewa school which I was excited for because I knew a lot of people that was in that team. Our first game we had won, our second game we had won again; by 19 points, our third game we had won which was a nice and light game. In our fourth game we had won again, luckily myself and the GS ( Miria ) was getting our goals in. Our fifth game we had won and it was a really fun game. The fifth game was pretty much semi finals but not, cause they had said it wasn’t semi finals yet the fifth game was to see who’d be playing in the finals to place for first and second. Then we had made it in to finals and preparing ourselves to play against Taumarere. The time was ticking, it was getting closer and closer, and everyone in our Netball team could not wait. It then got to the time everyone had got themselves into their positions and mentally and physically prepared themselves for the game. We were all yelling to get the ball, intercept, defend and do as much as they could. The timer had stopped everybody went to go ask the score takers what the score was, but the main question was “Did we win?” the score takers answers was yes and our team were so proud and thankful for making it and winning. There was me, Jacque, Miria, Ocean, Dakota, Payton, Tunisia, Flo,  and we had all had good games.

Introduction to fractions

In maths we have been learning about fractions.  So far we have been working on how to write fractions, how to simplify fractions and equivalent fractions. These last 2 parts are much easier if you  know your times tables !!

Fractions are used a lot in our lives. Our class came up with some great examples – sports fields, chrome book box,  neopolitean ice- cream, measuring cups when cooking, half an hour etc.

Some important key words so far are –
equivalent  (means they are differently written but are equal) eg.  3/6 = 1/2.
numerator  (the number on the top of a fraction)
denominator  (the number on the bottom of a fraction)
simplify  (means make the numerator and denominator the smallest possible whole numbers)
eg. 10/12 = 5/6.    12/18 = 2/3

Students made their own fractions quiz in google slides.
Here is Ezra’s Quiz.  See if you can solve his questions and it would be great if you left a comment on his blog post Introduction to fractions.
