wilder country

The book that i have been reading is called wilder country from Mark Smith. The reason i chose this book because i wanted to keep reading the road to winter with the series. 

This book is is a three book series that is a part of the road to winter like i said before. it is taken place in Australia in abandon town. Just living off food that they grow and hunt and get some sea food. the book is set in the end of winter and the start of spring that is going to bring danger from this gang called the wilder's that live in longley  up north where the main characters live.

There's two main characters in the book call Finn and Kas. Finn lives on the sea side in the first book living off the sea food and the stuff the grows and hunt. his parents both died at the start of the book and he has his best friend rowdy his dog. Kas was a siley that came across the sea to seek a place to live but has to be bought by other people to live and work kinda like a slave that can't do anything about it.

Finn and Kas has to travel to Longley to look for a baby that was taken from them in the first book and don't know where the baby is. Also they are being hunted by the wilder's that want to take Kas and Finn as slave from what they done in the first book.              

English assessment

In English we had to read a book or watch a movie. When we had finish reading the book or watching a movie we had to think of the hero cycle and put it in a slide show. The book that i picked was my brothers war. Its about two brothers that has to go to world war 2. In my book there was two main characters called Edmund and William. Edmund went through a lot of challenges and William went through more than Edmund from being in world war two.       

factorising

Recently in maths we was learning how to factorising. Factorising is one of the most important thing in maths to know. I will give some examples for factorising. here's some examples:  now if you want to have a go a the rest of these good luck.                   

                       3y+6=  3(y+2)
                       2x+ 2 =  2(x+1)
                   

                     

is graffiti art or vandalism

In social studies we are learning if graffiti is art or vandalism. we had to make a paragraph on your own thoughts on this topic. comment down below what you think.

People has different opinions about graffiti. I believe that graffiti can be vandalism and art. If someone get paid to do graffiti by government and they do great job on it i call that art if they do a really great job on it. But some people don’t ask if they just do it and they do a bad job and when people walk past they think is this art or just a waste of space that need to covered up. It can cost a lot of money to cover it up or remove it.     

    

Maths

Sometimes I will do my six times. I haven't done my six times in a few weeks. I  know my six times by the back of my head.  I have been learning 6 times tables at home or in maths.


6 x 1 = 6
6  x 2  = 12
6 x  3= 18
6  x 4=24
6 x  5= 30
6  x 6=36
6 x  7= 42
6  x 8= 48
6 x  9=54
6  x 10= 60

2017 camp

This Term in week two we went to Bridge Valley for a few days. We did a lot of fun activities like paint ball, high rope, low rope, jumping off a diving platform into a cold lake. We also did fire and damper and many more things like that.  It was really fun and I will go back there one day and do more fun activities. My favourite thing about camp was the paintball and the fire and damper.  Here are some photos.

Last term I have been learning my 7 times tables.  It was hard at first, but now I find them a little easier than before.  To help me remember, I practiced with equations for example  9 x 4.  I went  7 x 4 + 2 x 4 = 36.  I used my seven times tables to work it out.


7 x 1= 7
7 x 2=14
7 x 3 =21
7 x 4=28
7 x 5=35
7 x 6=24
7 x 7=48

The Long Year

Sam and Jack started to walk out of school, Sam is in the same class as Jack.

Jack is 25 years old, he has a house size of a ship and a car that Sam uses all the time. Sam doesn't have a car so she uses Jacks.

Sam is two year younger  than Jack she is 23 years old. Sam has a baby Brother, and a younger Sister called Nicky and Ben.

“Jack do you want to come over to night and look after my Sister and Brother, and I’ll be there ,’’ ask Sam. “ Why not I’ll come and mark Nicky’s homework and  I make a little toy for Ben to play with, ’’ said Jack.

After a few hours later Jack came with his his old toys what he had when he was a kid. Sam Mum and dad was going to a pub and they won’t be back at two in the morning. so Sam is baby sitting.

“Hi Jack said said Sam's dad Sam is inside waiting for you.” When Jack went inside Sam wasn’t doing her homework but it look like at she cut she hand with a knife in the kitchen. “SAM ! shouted Jack are you all write.” Jack  ran to Sam's side and crad a first aid kit. Sam just stand in the kitchen like she was stone by not talking and don’t have a knife in her hand. Sam was pranking him so Jack walked up to Sam’s room and knock on her door and wait for Sam to open her door. A few minutes later Sam open the the door laughing so much that she fall over on the floor. “SAM!” Yelled Jack. Still laughing Jack started to laugh to Sam’s long hair blocking her eyes. “Got you good “said Sam going in the kitchen and grading her toy self to prank Jack and Jack fall for it good.

“ So Sam why did you prank me?’’asked Jack.

“Cause it was funny and I knew you  would take it,”said Sam. So they walk into the living room to see that Ben watching TV and Nick doing her homework  and watching TV at the same time.Jack handed his toy to Ben so Sam can put the TV on music and Jack help Nick do her homework and that got her work finish sooner. Sam started to cut some apple for Ben and Jack started to cut some fish up ,steak and chips. At six  o'clock tea was finished Jack made Sam fish and chips to take his homework off his mind.

Jack asked”, Sam can I use your computer so I can do my homework.”

“Why not I’m not going to use it and I’m finished my homework in my room,”said Sam going in her room and get her computer. Jack started to finish his homework and put Sams computer on charge and started to go to the kitchen to make his tea.

math

In math we have been learning our 5 time tables. We use bracket to help us to solve the problem. Then we worked out the questions. Below is how we solve the problem. We used arrays to workout the groupings.

 

                                9 x 7=          

                           (5 x 9)+( 2 x 7 )

                               45        14

                           = 67

Welcome back to my blog. I hope you had a good holiday? I know I did. I went to a  scout jamboree with  over 400 scouts all over NZ of ten days that was really fun getting up at six every day.

Earthquake!!

If you didn't know the there was a earthquake that hit NZ just after 12.00 in the morning. There was a lot of damage and 2 people dead in the earth quake.  I thought it was an earthquake as soon as it hit my house. The earth quack was a 7.5  and it didn't make any damage at home but I was worried about the dogs and the cats that was inside.

My holiday

One cold morning, when I got up out of bed the frozen grass in the sun started  shine in my window. When I got dressed, I went out to the living room. I notice that there’s something by my chair that was under a blanket. I was just thinking what is it and is it for me? I started to get a headache just from thinking too much. I started to walk up to it now it show shinny wheel and a sharp of handle bars I just walk away from it and just which some TV. But the shine on it was blinding I can’t get a away from it the new smell of new chins fills the air like flowers in the wind. When dad walk in the smell was gone.
