Maths With Mrs Wright

In Maths with Mrs Wright we have been learning about Patterns.
We have used an app on the school ipads called Popplet.
It has been awesome learning about patterns

Class Pet

Gold fish

If a child had a pet have you ever seen them without it?

Jacob and I think that our class should have some goldish.

You have to get some goldfish because it will change the classes attitude and the class will like you better as a cool teacher.

We think Goldfish would be a great pet for our class to have because they're not to small, not to big and there a really cool goldish colour.

Gold Fish can eat weetabix crumbs, bread crumbs and pretty much anything small or crumby.

If you don't feed Goldfish the right food they could get really sick BUTTttttttttt, the food that goldfish eat are really cheap thats only a problem if you don’t feed them anything.

Children wouldn’t want to come to school if we didn’t have a class pet.

In side the Goldfishes heart they are sad sitting at the pet shop in a horrible dirty tank, just waiting for a customer to pick them up.

If we had a pet that could run around in the class it would distract us from our learning.

YOU will be imagining darkness, black, shadow, wet, damp, dark, nightmares, night with no stars and you will feel like a pin has been through you.

MISS GARLAND if you had a caring heart you would do this for our class…

Cross country Expectation

On the 15th of August the Havelock North Intermediate Cross Country will be on.

The length of the cross country is 2.5k, I don't really like running Cross Countries and the running side of Triathlons.
The Cross Country starting line will be held at H.N.I the end of the obstacle course on the field.

As I said before: "I don't like running", it's really not my type of thing and i'm not really looking forward to the Cross Country...
I think I would not do very well because from my past Cross Countries that I've been through and had to stop because of a twisted ankle or having an asthma attack at the end of the cross country.

Some people say its not that much 2.5k but I don't know how long 2.5k is so it will be interesting to see the Cross Country track in P.E practices, to see how long it really is.

The Respiratory System

The Respiratory System is a compilation of the Trachea, Lungs and The Diaphragm.

When you are reading this story you are breathing in lots of Oxygen.

That Oxygen that you breath in is going down and through your Trachea.

This first part is all the beginning of the Respiratory System.

When you breath in through your nose some of the dust that you might breathe in dosent go in and through you trachea because the nose hair keep most of the dust out.

From your Trachea it goes into your Lungs, there's round about 30,000 little Bronchioles that are attached to your Trachea which lead into to your Lungs.The Lungs puff and go bigger as you breath in, and that's when your Diaphragm Drops.

In the first part of this process you were breathing in oxygen, now when you Breathe out you are breathing out carbon dioxide which is the used Oxygen from when you breathed in before.You Breathe out when the Diaphragm comes back up and the lungs aren't puffed and they're ready for the next fresh oxygen that comes from the sky.

The Respiratory System is important because its all about breathing and you wouldn't be alive if you didn't breathe because you heart will stop and the process will stop and the Oxygen wouldn't be able to go through your body.

Mini Olympics

In Maths we are learning about measuring in lots of different ways,
today Miss Garland set the class up with a mini Olympics game/tournament.
The Maths out of this game is that we have to measure the length of long jump, shot put, javelin, Archery and flight.
We used Tiddly Winks for Long Jump, we also used a balloon for Shot put, we also used a straw for javelin, we also used an Elastic Band for Archery and we used and balloon for flight.
My favorite task was Long Jump (Tiddly Winks), because I love flicking things.
I would say I need to work on shot put (balloon) because the balloon that we used was really light and you had to through the balloon when the wind was calm.
Altogether I really liked the Mini Olympics and I thought it was a great idea!!!
