Maths Problem
Kia ora
We have been learning about how to use Compatible Numbers. Compatible Numbers are any two numbers which add together to make a Tidy Number
(a number which ends in zero). We had to choose two Compatible Numbers and another number. Then we had to think of a word problem which used our numbers and give the problem to a buddy to solve. Mrs Ogle, our maths facilitator, said this is called 'posing problems'.
Joe has 7 sheep, Harry has 3 sheep and Bob has 4 sheep. How many sheep do they have altogether?
7 + 3 = 10
10 + 4 = 14

Skiing Day One
Last week our class went to Mt Ruapehu to ski. On our first skiing day I was really happy. I ate all my breakfast. Then we got on the bus. Here is a picture of Kyle and I on the bus with all our skiing gear on.

Lahar
Kia ora
Today we built Mt Ruapehu in the sandpit. We also made the Whangaehu River valley, the plain below the mountain and the railway bridge at Tangiwai. We wanted to learn how the lahar destroyed the bridge in 1953 causing the Tangiwai Disaster. Kora and Ariana poured lots of water into the crater we had made on top of our mountain. It whoosed down the side of the mountain and into the river valley. The bridge collapsed and bits of our train fell into the river. After that, we watched a short video about what do do if you are on Mt Ruapehu when the lahar siren sounds. Now I know how to keep safe from a lahar if one happens when I am on a mountain. Here is my Hazard Notice with the most important information.

Chicken Diva Art
Last week Mrs A read us a book called, "Whitney and Britney: Chicken Divas'. It was about 2 girl chickens who liked to perform as singers and dancers. It was funny. We made pictures of them using pastels and then we got to decorate them with bling. The best part was I could draw a rooster instead of a chicken. I wanted my rooster to look like a real rooster so I only put a necklace on it.
