Basketball Rap


Walt: write a poem on basketball.

Basketball Poem

Michael Jordan comes with his team players
He talks to me
While we are walking
Passing the ball around and around
We both start to play the game


I dribble, dribble from here to there
I bounce, bounce running to the hoop
I throw the ball into the hoop in one loop
He tries to get the ball out of my hand
Under over, up and down, up the bridge
Pivot, pivot then another shot in the hoop
But I just wish I was tall as the basketball players


Proper Fractions


Walt: solve simple ratio problems by repeated copying.


Proper Fraction



How to play this game is that first you will be shown a maths problem. Your job is to click on the number line. Then you move around the nest on the number line to figure out the answer. It was not easy at all, I really need to practice more. I knew some but I can’t do it mentally. Next I want to learn how to do my proper fractions mentally. Once I know how to do it mentally I’m going to do challenging maths problems.

Raggle Taggle Chook


Walt: retell the story



Raggle-Taggle Chook


One day there was a flood outside Robin’s house. Once the flood stopped Robin walked outside to have a look. Then she saw a Chook. It had hardly no  feathers. “Poor thing” Robin said sadly. I showed mum. “What mum” mumbled mum. “We should wring its neck” said mum. “We should chop its head off !” replied dad. Its half dead and half drowned already. Robin frowned at dad.  Robin took Chook at the backyard digging worms for chook to eat. While Robin was digging up the worms she was talking to chook. About that her parents are mean. Mum came outside in the backyard telling Robin “if you're going to keep that bird you have to take care of it and responsible of it”.“I did” said Robin. “I feed her some worms” replied Robin.


The next day after school my friends will want to come back home with me. So they can take turns with chook. Chook will never run away because she would love people holding her. Robin’s parents started to like Chook. Dad will always come home from work and talk to Chook and walk around the garden with her. Mum liked Chook because she would lay eggs and mum will decided to make omelet for tea.


One afternoon Robin came home from school. She was getting in trouble from her mother.
“Your stupid hen has gone and rewend Mr Dick’s peas that her has been growing” shouted mum. “Oh no what am I going to do” said Robin. “Well thats your problem to sort out” mum annoyed. I went over to Mr Dicks fence. Then I saw Mr Dick talking with Chook. I jumped over and apologized about his peas. “My peas” said Mr Dick. “Oh don’t worry about it that’s fine” said Mr Dick in a pleased voice. “Your hen was making a nest in my garden digging out my peas” said Mr Dick. “She laid about five eggs” Mr Dick saying it in a happy voice. “You've got a fine hen right here” mentioned Mr Dick. “Oh thank you Mr Dick” replied Robin. “Well I’ve got to go now see you later” said Robin.

Area


Walt: use tiles to cover the lounge floor.

Area

Today the orange group were tiling the  lounge floor. We were learning the concept  of area. I worked with Salomah. She was great help. We used rectangular shaped blocks to tile the lounge floor. Salomah and I used our hands to place the tiles on the lounge floor. I noticed that the  others had  different shaped and sized tiles. . The bigger tiles are the easier and faster to place. The other kids had smaller tiles to tile the lounge floor. They took longer. After we finish tiling the wood pieces on the whiteboard me and Salomah had to count how many wood pieces that we used to cover  lounge floor. Salomah and I used 13 x 3= 39 tiles. We  used our timetables.
