Maths - Hit The Button - Mixed Times Tables

This is my score. I played hit the button. I played mixed times tables. You get asked a question and you have to click on an answer there are a lot of numbers so you have to look at the numbers carefully. I got twenty seven out twenty seven. 

Narrative - Writing

LS2 have been practising to write really good narratives. I was working with Harlem and we had to follow a prompt. We had to choose three pictures from a presentation. These pictures was illustrated by Harris Burdick. We had to write three story's for each picture. We were practising this to revisit our narrative. Another reason we did this was to improve in our narrative and write really good narratives.  

Quizizz

In LS2 we have been learning our maths by using this website called Quizizz. First your teacher has to choose which quiz you should, most of the time Ms Naicker chooses times tables. When the quiz starts there is a question at the top, and you have to answer it. the faster you click the answer the more points you get. Some times there are word problems, and you have to read them carefully to get the answer correct. This morning we played quizziz, Mrs Anderson played and came 1st, I think she did very good because she lost connection and caught up to everyone. LS2 have been having a lot of fun doing it. I think it is a good and efficient to learn your maths. If you want to use this website, to learn and have fun here is the link: http://quizizz.com/join/

Panmure Library

On Friday last week the seniors classes went to the library to meet Stig Wemyss. He is a narrator. He only narrates Andy Griffiths books. He says that book narrators are like rock stars. At the start Stig told Fraidoon to throw him on the ground, He then squirted water all over Fraidoon. He was very funny. Everyone that did a challenge won a CD of Stig's. He challenged us to do some hard challenges, like say sausage everytime he asks you a question and you have to keep a straight face. The funniest challenge I think Stig set up was the baby word challenge. Sylis did that challenge and had to keep responding in baby language. Another challenge that was funny was the Chubby Bubby challenge, Latham and Afu did it. CJ's challenge was funny as well he had to keep burping each time Stig asked a question. We all got a card signed by Stig, I got a photo with him.

Pourquoi writing: How tattos came to Tonga

How tattoos came to Tonga

Many hundreds of years ago across the seven seas there lived a young boy named Magoni in a village with three friends of his. Their names were Carva, Toni and Sione. Magoni and his friends met at the beach of Toloa.

“What should we do? Magoni asked.

“I Don’t know, maybe explore the forest” Sione replied.

“Yeah we should we’ve only been there two time, and we didn’t go that far in” Toni said. Everybody agreed to that.

As they were about to enter the forest, they started getting the chills. After five minutes in they started hearing sounds, Magoni even started sweating a little.

“We’ve never been this far in” Carva whispered to his friends. As they kept walking they saw weird patterns on the trees almost perfectly engraved. They saw The name Tonga on one of the trees.

“Guys this is getting creepy, let’s just go back to the village” said Sione.

They all agreed. As soon as the turned away the heard a bird chirping. They all sprinted out the forest. The chirping was getting closer, and Magoni’s adrenaline was pumping. They all made it out. They went back to the beach. They discussed the situation.

“We should never go in there again” said Toni.

Magoni replied with “I think we should go back, those patterns on the tree were interesting” “NO!!, that was way to creepy” shouted Toni.

“Fine I’ll go by myself” replied Magoni.

It was dinner Magoni’s dad got out the mat and put it on the living room floor. Magoni was looking at the interesting shapes and patterns on the mat. There was one that Magoni really liked. He drew that one on a piece of paper and put it in his pocket. It was now morning.

Magoni went to the forest as he walked in he felt scared and anxious. He kept going in. He finally made it to the engraved trees. He kept walking. “I am going to admit it is a lot scarier without my friends” Magoni whispered to himself. He started hearing the bird chirping. He got really close to the bird and saw the bird the engraving the tree with his beak. It was strange because he has never seen a bird like this, it had a really long beak and dark black eyes. His beak was steaming out with smoke. Magoni Said to himself “This must be why the trees are engraved” He asked the bird if he could get his forearm engraved.

“Stupid me, now I am talking to a bird, how can I get more stupid than this” Magoni said to himself. Magoni’s paper came out of his pocket and he didn’t realize.

The mysterious bird flew to the sky so high that Magoni couldn’t see him. The Bird came back flying down after a couple seconds but, this time his beak with a little red steaming with more smoke. The bird started slowing down, it then landed on Magoni’s shoulder. It started engraving his forearm. He was looking closely at the pattern on the paper on the ground. “AHHHHHHHHHHHH stop it, it burns make it stop please, it feels like I am getting burnt with the devil's fire AHHHH!” Magoni screamed. Blood started shooting out that’s when Magoni past out.

“Woah” Magoni said. He was lying down on weaved leaves wondering where he was. The mysterious bird was right next to him.

“AHHHH!” Magoni screamed

“Get away from me” Magoni said. The bird flew away in the high top trees. Magoni stood up and ran. He ran as fast as he could and finally he made it out. When he arrived home he realized the pattern that he drew on paper, on his forearm. “Time for dinner Magoni come to the living room” Magoni’s Mum said. He went to his parents and showed them the engravement on his arm. His parent’s were shocked. “How did you get this it looks amazing” Magoni’s dad said.

“This mysterious bird came to me and engraved it on my forearm with his beak, his beak was steaming with smoke and it looked like there was fire on his beak” Magoni explained

“I want one of it on my back” his dad said

“Ok if you want but it is very painful” Magoni said.

Three months later. Nearly everyone had their body engraved. They were all thanking Magoni. His friends got it aswell. An ancestor of Magoni’s came to him and asked “What do you want to call that engraving”
“I will call it tatuato” Magoni Replied

Last week was Tongoan Language week we had to write a Pourquoi story (Myths and Legends story). I did a story about how tattos came to Tonga. We first had to choose a topic, then plan the writing. We had to write what the characters 5 senses, E.G Hear: he could hear echoes in the forest. After we had planned our story, we had to start writing our story. We then had to find a critical friend to use DRAFT to edit our writing.

Maths: Words problems

For maths we had to do word problems. For this activity we had to work together as a team. Our question was to feed 28 people with hot dogs, they all get one each. We could only use a 7 pack of hotdog, a pack of 8 hotdogs, a pack with 8 hotdog buns, a pack of 12 hotdog buns and a pack of 16 hotdog buns. We could only use those hotdogs and those hotdog buns to feed 28 people 1 hotdog each.

Reading can do: Current Events

This is my is my can do. I did current events. My event was Astronaut breaks record. He only broke the record for Americans. I really enjoyed doing this because I learnt a lot of new things. I didn't know people can even be in space for that long. I think that in the future someone will break the world record by a lot. Currently Cosmonaut has the record of staying in space for 879 days.
