Refugee Think and Respond

 In my class my reading group are reading a book called 'Refugee' by Alan Gratz. We are also doing activities around the book. For this activity we had to answer questions with our opinions and snippets of paragraphs for evidence.

Think and Respond chapters 1-5

 This term my reading group are currently reading the book Refugee. We are doing activities around the book. For this activity we had to give our opinions on what has happened. The book is based on events that have happened in the past like Jews and Germans, war and escape.

All about me

For this activity, all about me, we had a variety of choices. The goal was to finish these activities to learn about our classmates and for our classmates to learn about us.

For the who am I we had to give some clues, not too many, about ourselves.

For this activity, we had to put together some words to describe what we like and I also added that I have annoying siblings.

Now for this video, we had to decide what we would do if we were president.

The Treaty of Waitangi

 In 1840 on the Bay of Islands, the sixth of February, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. There were two versions of the treaty, Māori and English. 

DLO area

 We are learning to calculate the perimeter, area and volume of shapes:

Our task:

Make two different shapes, using the unifix cubes, that have a volume of:

1.  36 cm cubed

(Insert photos of your two different shapes)

1.  What is the perimeter of each shape? Cube: 14 cm. Rectangle: 18 cm. 

2.  What is the area of the bottom level of each shape?  Cube: 6 cm.  Rectangle: 18 cm

What formula can we use to work out:

Perimeter: 2 x L + w

Area: Length x width

Volume: Length x width x height.

From this activity I learnt that the area can be the same, even if the shape changes but the perimeter might be different.
