Demonstrating on muffin making

Here is Chef Alfonso demonstrating on muffin making. Our topic is What is in a muffin? He told us that there were 2 different kinds of muffins. Sweet muffins and savory muffins. I enjoyed learning how to make a muffin with Alfonso.   

Equivalent fractions

WALT: solve problems with fractions.

This game is called Equivalent Fish. I needed to know how to simplify the fractions to its lowest form. I had to control the bird to eat the correct fish with right answer.  Every time I got the answer correct, I get awarded 100 points. But if I get it wrong, it minuses 25 points and the bird pukes the fish out. This game was challenging because I got plenty of the answers incorrect and I lost a lot of points. I think I need more practice to learn how to simplify the fractions to its simplest form.  

Nets - Making a Pyramid

This is the pyramid that I made. I used a compass to connect the lines together to form a triangle. This was a little difficult for me because I struggled using a compass because I hadn't used it before so I had help from my teacher. I would like to learn more about nets.

Robin Williams

Robin Williams was famous for being an actor and a comedian. He entertained people and made them laugh. I, myself enjoyed watching him and his movies. I loved watching his movie Night at the Museum. He played the role of a cowboy. On the 11th of August 2014, he died in Tiburon, California, U.S.A. I like this quote that Robin Williams wrote and it goes “Only in your dreams, we can feel free. It was always so and will never change.”

 

Scale Drawings

I learned to use scale to enlarge my drawing. I used a scale of 1 cm to represent 4cm. This means that my drawing is 4 times bigger. I think this task was too difficult because it had plenty of detail which made it hard for me to draw. I think I need more practise on this topic. Next, I would like to learn how to enlarge things with less detail.   

How do I think NZ did in the Commonwealth Games

For the 2014 Commonwealth Games, England came first on the medal table. Although New Zealand has only 45 medals, they also came first because New Zealand's population is 4 443 000 people and if you divide the number of people to the number of medals, then you'll see that New Zealand comes on top because New Zealand has the lowest medals/people ratio. I think New Zealand did exceptionally well because they tried to get as much medals as they could.

Book choices for Junior Children

I chose to read the book “Grumpy Elephant” by Joy Cowley. It is about a Grumpy Elephant and the other animals make him laugh because they are all bumping into things. I think this is suitable for Juniors because it is a short story but it is also entertaining and funny and it is also extremely easy to read. I think the photos in this story would help them to understand the story and help them with the hard words. I also think that they should be able to read it by themselves because it has plenty of easy words. I am 100% positive that plenty of children would read this story because it is very interesting how the other animals make the Grumpy Elephant happy.
