MMM solved!

 On Thursday we solved our M.M.M ( murder mystery maths ) case! 

To do it we had a set of numbers, eg 123 456 and we would add 1+2 and that equals 3 and then we would add  3+3 and our answer would be 6! Then we would do the same for the other set of numbers, unless the number goes over 10. 456 goes over 10 so I will explain what you would do with this set. 4+5 is 9 then 9 + 6 = 15 but then we do 1+5 = 6, do you understand were I got the 1 and the 5 from? 

After you get you answers ( 6 and 6 ) you use those numbers as cordernets on a map but instead of it leading you to a place the cordernets bring you to a letter and you use those letters to make a sentence! 

In the end the sentence said " Diamonds  in  toilet cistern "  

Lockdown Learning. Again !

 I have been doing lockdown learning for a week now. LL ( lockdown learning ) is almost the same a last year, but instead of just having whole class google meets we have been doing Maths, Reading and Writing google meets. At some points during the day I feel bored, even though there is so many activities for us to do. Speaking of activities I have been doing some Duolingo and I have been learning Dutch. Dutch is very similar to Flemish, the Belgium language which is were my Dad is from.

Murder Mystery Maths

Murder Mystery Maths ( M.M.M ) is a fun maths program where you teacher hands out "clues" ( different codes that include maths ), and once you have figured out the clue you mark off suspects from the suspect list.

 This weeks clue revealed that the murderer was Simon Robinson, but now we need to figure out the other clues to find out were the Diamonds are hidden!  

Term 3 !

 Term three started with a bang and already I feel like I have been at school for weeks! The timetable hasn't changed much for me, so it is quite easy to get to workshops on time. I have moved up from writing Early Level 3 ( EL3 ) to Level 3 ( L3 ) which is great because I have been in EL3 for ever. 

Quick writes have changed a little, instead of having heaps of different topics now there is just story starters.  I quite like writing in narrative style and using lots of creativity, so the story starters are perfect for me! I wrote an interesting quick write yesterday, and the story starter was, There was smoke everywhere, so I thought I would put it in my blog. 

There was smoke everywhere. I HAD been reading  peacefully in my bedroom, but now my peace had been destroyed. That younger sibling of mine is a real handful sometimes. No, I change my mind ALL of the time, but this time she and my parents had gone too far. For starters who in the world would trust a pyromaniac seven year old to set the bonfire alight safely? Now because of my crazy younger sister all of Mum's prized Dalias are burnt to a crisp. Well done little sis, even I couldn't do that at your age plus blame it in me. 

I had to put out the fire, wash all of Izzy's ( my sister )  soot stained clothes and explain to Mum why her prize Dalia's are as dead as a dodo. I really had a good day to day! ( NOT! ) 

Do you like the story? I like how it is short, sharp and has humor and good ideas.

 

Aurora Drama Performance.

On the twenty third of June, Ella, Alice and I performed a play that we wrote with the other Aurora drama students. The play was about Whirikoka and his seal Oioi. Ella was Te Marama, the moon and she got to do  dance with Anoura and Grace. Alice was Te Kumi the Taniwha with Celia and Lilla. I was Oioi the seal. 

I was so nervous before the play my stomach was cramping up. Everyone else was nervous too, but we ended up having a really great show ! 

Year 6 Surfing !

Now that I am a year 6, I can go surfing on a Friday ! Only year 6's can go surfing on Friday, it's like a mark of a high rank. Basically what I am saying is that I am excited, very excited. 

The first time the year 6's went surfing was in Week 3 and we went to Northerns ( If any of you know where that is ) and in Week 4 we went to Roberts Road ( If you know where that is ). Northerns was kind of choppy and there was no clean breaks. Roberts Road was awesome ! The sun was shining and it was beautiful. 

I signed off one goal!

WBS has a system were you learn the Learning Intention ie: Multiplicating two digit numbers and you would mark that off as a learn it then you would practise it three times and mark it off as a prove it!

My LI ( learning intention ) was solve any addition question using algorithm and show understanding of rounding and compensating.  I found it kind of easy because I learned about algorithms last year.

This is my goal sheet
