Room 11's Lucky Day

 

Today is our lucky day. Each of us got a piece of cheesecake.

Table Trees

This is a multiplication game. In the beginning, I had to choose what multiplication table I wanted. I chose my 9 and 6 times tables. My score is 15. This was not that hard because I already know my multiplication from 2-12. I would like to try 2 digits multiplied by 1 digit next.

Division Game

 

WALT: solve division problems.

In this division game, I had to chose the correct answer so that the blue gems could go into the carts. This was not a challenging for me because division is very easy. Although I completed the game on very hard, it wasn't very hard. It was easy. Next, I would like to learn geography.

Punctuation Game

This is a punctuation game. This teaches me where to put all my punctuation marks. This was difficult for me because I sometimes put punctuation marks in the incorrect place. I would like to learn more about inferring.

Cause and Effect

  

This is a cause and effect game. I had to match the cause with the possible effect. This was very easy for me because cause and effect is one of the things my group is working on. Next, I would like to have more difficult examples.

Dental Technician

This was the result that Tane and I had when we finished making teeth out of food. We used pink marshmallows as the teeth and pears as the mouth.This was fun to make and I wish we could do it again.

A poem - teeth

The nerves in my teeth

Sends messages to my brain

Like when my tooth comes out

I can feel a little pain.

The gum protects my teeth

And my jaw bone

When I took a tooth out

Another had grown.

The bone provides a socket

For the root of the tooth

I am not lying

I’m surely telling the truth.

The root holds the teeth

Inside my jaw

Then I went to the bank

and asked for a withdraw.

The enamel is the part

that everyone sees daily

I felt like playing an instrument

So I chose the ukulele.

Reflections - Basic Facts

For Basic Facts Assessment test 2 stage 6, my score given was 580. I know how to arrange numbers from smallest to biggest, add numbers, subtract numbers, multiplication tables and divide numbers. I will improve more on my place value of 6 and 7 digit numbers and use the symbols: < >  =. I will try to improve my work by getting my mum or any family member to ask me 5 questions for 10-15 minutes daily. I could try and improve myself by learning it everyday until I know my place values and where to put the symbols in the correct places. I hope that next time I sit a basic facts test, I get 100% and move on to stage 7.

We need mouthguards when playing sports

WALT: write a persuasive speech.

What is a mouth guard? A mouthguard is something people wear when they play sports. Anyone who participates in a sport that carries a risk of contact to the face should always wear a mouthguard. Sports like football, boxing and rugby. Here are 3 reasons why children should wear mouthguards in sports.

Injury prevention

Mouthguards help prevent chips and cracks in our teeth. According to the Academy of General Dentistry recommends their use in sports and activities so that our teeth will not fall out during the sport. Mouthguards are usually used in wrestling, rugby, martial arts and many other sports.

Savings

Mouthguards don’t cost that much money. Stock mouthguards cost anywhere from less than a dollar to $5. Many kids complain about these versions being uncomfortable and making it difficult to breath, which makes them want to wear mouthguards less. A sensible idea would be to allow children to buy mouthguards with their stationary so that children's parents can save money.

Leading by example

Children may resist wearing a mouthguard due to peer pressure. Children can set a brilliant example just by wearing a mouthguard for the correct sport. Setting examples to the  other children can teach them to wear mouthguards when playing sports.  

Most people would agree with me because mouthguards help protect our teeth when playing a team sport. Be sure that you wear a mouthguard as well.
