Miss T's Classroom.

This board shows the strategies a group used when they were working with Mrs M.  They can be seen working, thinking, sharing as they completed the work.  Notice they are mental strategies. The students didn’t even need pencil and paper!

So what is 74 – 28 = ? What is the answer and can you explain how you solved it. Make sure you choose the strategy that is best, that is the one that will lead you to the answer quickly.

The dragons of Deltora are dragons that fly the skies of Deltora.  Nearly hunted to extinction by the 7 Ak-baba, now there is only 1 dragon in each territory of Deltota.  Dragons can have 7 different patterns or colours/patterns on their back.  Their bottom half is the same colour as the sky, so it’ s hard to find them.  Their top can be any colour of the gems of the belt of Deltora - Diamond, Emerald, Lapis Lazuli, Topaz, Opal, Ruby or Amethyst.  The Diamond dragon however, is just a baby.  Lief, Barda and Jasmine came across it’s egg, in the skull of its mother, which died on blood lily island,  killed by blood lilys and fleshbanes.  My favourite dragons in order are:  Topaz, Opal, Diamond, Amethyst, Emerald, Lapis Lazuli and the Ruby Dragon.  Photo: The 7 dragons sourounding the Belt of Deltora.  In the picture, I drew the fully grown dragon of the diamond, not the baby.        REPORTER:   Antonio                                                                                                            

On Wednesday Mrs M came into our classroom to teach some people about adding and subtracting.  She taught us how to add using tidy numbers with rounding & compensating, and she taught us halving and doubling with Place Value and she also taught us to use Reversibilty.

A few days ago, I got 3 of my birthday presents – yes they are a bit early!  They are my Alien Creation Chamber booster pack with Diamondhead and Greymatter.  My Hurricanes rugby ball and my Lego Agents Mission 6 Mobile Command Centre.  I’ve written a few posts about this (I know I go on a bit) but this is the big one!  I also got to have a family party, but I had to share it with my sister, Clementine.  From my relatives, I got a Deltora Quest book from series 3, Isle of the Dead, a $30 gift voucher,  which I spent on two transformers - Jetfire and Jetstorm.  $20, which I spent on another Deltora Quest book from series 3, The Sister of the South and Lego Agents mission 8, The Volcano base.  Still to come is the full series 1 book of Deltora Quest.  This Friday, the 19th of June  (my real bithday)  is my friends party.  I am inviting my friends Daniel M, Dan H, Isaac, Jordan, Nathan and Connor.  We’re going bowling!  I wanted to invite all my friends but mum said it would be a logistical nightmare, so I had to settle on 6 mates.  I wonder what I will get,  Antonio.  Photo:  Books- Far left Isle of the dead, far right, Sister of the south.  What I am holding-My rugby ball and my lego agents id card, with 7 out of 8 stickers.  Lego-Dr Inferno on top of laser cannon.

Pentecost is my cat.  She is black and white.  She loves cat food.  And she likes chasing mice and she kills them.  She is crazy at times.  She fights Ghost as well.

My favourite book  is named Ottoline and the Yellow Cat.  It is by Chris Riddle, he is a amazing author.  I liked it because whoever did the drawing it was just amazing.  I had never read a book like it.  I also think beatrice  my class mate would like it.  I was the first one out of my class to read it.

Today in the cold and wet our school team went off to the cross country.  Mrs  B  our school sports coordinator did another awesome job of organising them for the trip.  Photos were taken by photographer: Jordan.

This year I am in a team called KCU Rams with Daniel from MB2.

So far we have lost all our games, BUT last Saturday my team played a Levin team at Mazengarb Park in Kapiti and we drew 1 all instead of being THRASHED!!!!!

I really enjoy playing football

Mrs E comes once a week.  She is a really nice teacher just like our teacher.  We do lots of fun things together in class.  We play games like Scatterball and Silent ball.  They’re really fun.  Mrs E gives us points if we get on the mat in time, and sit up straight.
