The Talent Quest 2011!

It was the feast day on Friday and on that day we had a celebration. We also had a talent quest. It was my group and It was our turn on stage.(Angelica Dorothy Fetuli Fatai and I). I was really shy. I began to move around, I didn’t like the 1st dance my group and I did, It was all mucked up. But even though I thought that it was awesome.
Group by groups were going up to perform.

While that was happening I was getting ready to perform my 2nd dance. But we were on at 2nd to last. I waited and waited.”Two more Performance then us ” Angelica said. It was the 3rd to last group was turn. “ One more group guys till us” Ofa Whispered So I walked to the back door and waited.

Waterlily’s group is now going to perform for you now” Lavina belowed. The song was playing and I had to run down the middle and danced. I really liked it. I was performing 3 times. This is my last performance. I was singing a song with Angelica and Ofa ( Song - Some one’s watching over you ). I think I didn’t do good cause I couldn’t hear my self. Even though, I did well on my dancing.
:-) To bad I’m not going to be here for next year’s One :-)

Maths Reflection

This week I have learnt to solve addition problem using partitioning (add ones to tens separately).

E.G

23 + 35 =

23 + 35 = (23+30) + (3+5)

= 50 + 8

= 58

Thirty + twenty = 50

Fifty + three =58

My Swimming pool experienced.

My highlight was when I first entered the swimming pool. The water was so lovely and warm ,I just wanted to float and relax on the water with no noise. I really wanted to, But we had to learn lesson on how to swim. I wanted to stay there for the rest of the day. I walked outside, “ooh” I had goosebumps running all over me. “Zzz” My mouth was shivering, It was to cold to get changed. I was back in class. I am looking forward to go back again to have some more fun.

Maths

• Homework

Show how you solve these number problems by using nearest 10 strategy
or x2 or x5 strategy.

• 1. 4 x 9=36

• 9 is closer to ten so change the nine to the a 10 4 x 10 is 40 then 1 x 4= 4 and then 40 take away 4 is
• 2. 8 x 9=72 8 turns into a 10 because added 2 so 10x 9=90 and then 9 x 2 =18 take away 90 is 72. so answer is 72

3. 9 x 6=54

• Change nine into a 10. 10 x 6= 60 and then 6x 1= 6 and then 60-6=54

4. 7 x 8=56

• change the 8 into a 10. so 10 x7=70.7 x 2=14. then 14-70=56

5. 5 x 9=45

• 9 into 10.10 x 5 = 50 the 1 x 9 =9 50- 5 =41

6. 9 x 7=63

• 9 into 10 10 x 7=70 7 x 1 =7 70 - 7=

• 7. 8 x 8=46
