Lengths of Chains

WALT: 1) Arrange length in order.

         2) Find mean, median, mode and range.

        3)  Explain the differences in length.

Lengths of chains

Pairs	Length of chain in centimeters
Ben and Dion	86
Wesley and Koliata	169
Lorenzo and Liam	170
Ifa and Tane	192
Alyssa and Shanelle	192
Andrea and Lana	200
Ketura and Serena	220
Stephanie and Cherish	286
Petuana and Yazmin	304
Munokoa and Samuel	320
Viliami and Howard	383

Mean - 229.27272

Median - 200

Mode - 192

Range - 297

Rounded off - 229.3  

I think that Ben and Dion’s chain is the smallest because they cut the strips of paper into thicker strips of paper to make the chain shorter. Viliami and Howard’s chain is the longest because they cut the strips of paper thinner to make their chain longer.

Fraction - Bingo!

WALT: apply problem solving.

When I played this game over and over again I knew how to play the game.This game is just like multiplications and doubles .Next time I would want to get eight or higher in the challenging mode.   

Descriptive Writing - Season

The picture I would like to describe is a rural scene in Autumn somewhere in Europe. I know it’s Autumn by the leaves falling off the trees and being red and yellow and no longer green. The house and barn has a steeply pitched roofs so the snow that comes in winter will slide off. The longhouse is probably made of stone which will come from a quarry near by. The animals will live in the barn with the steep roof over winter as there is no feed in the fields as the grass will be covered with mud and snow. The wooden fence is post and rails which means that there are horses on the farm.    

Thank you letter

Room 11

Glen Innes School

Dear Ms Parkes

Thank you for your help with my writing. I am trying my best to improve my writing. I am following the suggestions you have given us.  

I enjoyed writing a information report, attributes and recounts. I need help with my writing and I’m still struggling with these different types of writing. The reason  I like writing these three different types of writing is because it helps me write and imagine at the same time. My teacher had learnt what you have been teaching her in writing and she has been doing the same by teaching us what you’ve had taught her.

I  use apostrophe and speech marks correctly sometimes. Sometimes I  need to help to put them in the correct places.

Next term I will  practise writing a variety of sentences. Also editing is difficult and finding my mistakes . Persuasive writing is also my weakness.

I really appreciate your help Ms Parkes. Thank you so much.

Yours sincerely,

Serena   

Attributes

Liam

The Genie was the best Genie of all times. One day he came to into our class. One of the student came up to him with a bad manners. Then I walked up to the Genie wishing that I want to show respect by talking nicely at all times and use my manners also focus on my work and do not show my bad behaviour in class ever again. Being a good student in class is amazing because once you are a great student you will receive good luck.

Serena

From the lamp a genie appeared and wished me honesty. Being honest about giving money to other people is just silly. I cannot buy friends. I realised I carried a lot of wait and I am going to do something about it. I am a good girl and respect the teacher whenever she’s stressing. I’m also worried about my mother's health. I also do cooking and cleaning and get really tried. This work makes me lack honesty. I will need to improve being honest at school and at home because sometimes I can be dishonest about everything at school and at home.

Megan  

Genie wanted the students in room 11 to behave and to be a loving person. The genie is confident whenever he does his job to solve people’s problems and he uses his brains to think about everything in his working place. When a genie appeared the meanest boys in class. The genie gives a student bad luck because the students was being very rude to him.

Mrs Fat Brown Beaver and the Birds

Mrs Fat Brown Beaver had just settled down to eat her small round nut. Mrs Fat Brown Beaver was clutching her nut between her front paws when suddenly she was surrounded by sharp beaked birds.

These birds were trying to grab her round nut but she held on to her nut more tightly. Inside herself she was very cross at the birds for trying to grab her nut. The lazy birds all four of them pecked at Mrs Beaver’s nut. There were small black and white birds who were plump with sharp pecky beaks.

Mrs Beaver kept eating her nut until it was all eaten and there was nothing for the birds to eat. So with much screech and hopping and looking they realised that there was no food for them. So they flew away.

Mrs Beaver cleaned her whiskers and settled down for a nap with no birds insight.
