This week we used skimming and scanning to understand a book called Against the odds.
Scanning is the same as skimming but scanning is hovering over a text and trying to look for the the main facts.
Skimming is the same but skimming is just going thorugh the text without stoping.
For this activty I used skimming and scanning. I used skimming to find the keywords and use thoses keywords to find more information. I used scanning to find the main ideas so I could understand the text more and to put my facts into chronlogical order.
Next I made a table mat to find keywords, facts, ect.
I learnt a lot from doing this activty cause skimming and scanning helped by helping me find keywords and learning a lot about paralympics and other texts.

Calendars show us the day, week, or month.
There are 12 months in the year, they are; Januray, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.
Months have 28, 30, or 31 days.
There are number patterns on a calender by looking for four connecting days for example 20, 60 and 100.
Knowing before and after number sequence and 7 times tables helps us read a calender.
I learnt how to tell people to pass an object to the left.
The first thing I did was revising the words that I learnt for the pass few weeks which was tenei, tena, tera. which means next to me, near me, and way over there.
The last thing I did learnt how to tell someone to pass an obeject to the left. Which was hoatu te (obeject) ki te taha maui.
This was hard beacause I got mixed up with the Maori words.
Manners are about using respectful words when asking for something. Manners are also about using the right actions when speaking to someone or listening to someone.
Manners can also be used by saying thank you, may I, pardon me, sorry, eye contact and saying the person's name etc.
In groups we had to solve time problems.
Then we worked out as a group what the first answer was.
Next we explained why we got that answer and why we think that answer is right.
Lastly we showed our answers or results to Mr Ogilive and discussed what the right answers were as a class.
I think that this activity was hard beacause I don't know how to tell analog time.
We did an activty of balancing in our envorment. We took a range of photos.
The first photo was showing balancing on a bench with the assisstans of our group.
The secound photo shows one person balancing on the playground.
The third photo shows balancing on the playgroud with the assisstans of someone in the group.
The fourth photo shows one person balancing on two or more people.
The fifth photo shows one person balancing with the assisstans of other people, but trying to not have too contact with the ground or with the people in the group.
This was an hard activity because some were too weak to help there group out.
I learnt about prepoitions.
The prepoitions that I used for by me was tenei.
The secound prepoition I used for there was tena.
The last prepoition I used for way over there was tera.
These prepoitions can help me beacause they are an easier way of saying way over there, by me, and there.

Simple machines are used to move heavy objects, carry objects, and attach objects together.
There are six simple machines;
One of the simple machines is a wheel and axle is used to move objects around easier it redues the amount of force needed to push by making something roll.
Another simple machine is a pulley, a pulley is used to move heavy objects from a low level to a high level it reduces the amount of force needed to lift heavy obejects by sharing and dividing the force out.
The third simple machine is a wedge the wedge is used to push things apart. It changes the directions of the force to go sideways.
The fourth simple machine is a screw a screw is used to attach objects to other objects. This machine works by making objects twist around the machine.
The fifth simple machine is the lever the lever is used to lift heavy obejects it changes the imput force by using a pivot and a bar. This machine can also be used to mesure forces like weight.
The last simple machine is aattach inclined plane the inclined plane is used to move objects from a low level to a high level more easily.
These are all still used today to move objects.

Multiplication is a fast way of adding the same number over and over again. The two, five and ten times tables are examples of multiplication.
The two times tables are multiplyng two by a number of groups. The five times tables are multiplyng five by a number of groups. The ten times tables are multiplyng ten by a number of groups.
The times tables are an easy way of adding and counting a number. The times tables is also an easy way to remeber a basic times tables like two, five, and ten. The next times tables to learn are three, four and six.
Visualisation is seeing a picture or an image in your head by listening to words that describes that image.
Visualisation is important because if your reading a book with no pictures you can visualise what the pictures look like.
The story is about a rat the thinks he owns the highway. Then he steals other animals food and if they have no food he steals what ever they have. In the end he gets scared of himself and realises why the other animals are scared of him.
My Visualisation is different to others because I drew a fat rat and I used up all the space in the boxes.
We have different Visualisation because some people listened to the other details like the rat riding on a horse and some people drew people and cars because the rat was on a highway.
Place value is a System that groups numbers based on their size.
The position of a digit determins its value. When we say numbers we we group then within then same hase. For example 15709 has Fifteen thousands, Seven hundreds and nine ones.

The time I got was 6m 35s I got 100 out of 100 but I still need to get faster. Next time I need to try to get a lower time I need to memorize the answers so I can get it straight away, and try to get a higher level.
Today I did a prototec to test my math knowledge.
I got 5 wrong to 1000 and I got 5 wrong on subtraction up to 20. I also got 3 wrong on addition up to 20 and 8 wrong on x ÷ 2 3 5 10.
This prototec was hard and I need to practice my 1000, subtraction up to 20, and x÷ 2 3 5 10.
