Christmas Tree

Art

This term we have completed two pieces of art. One was inspired by an artist named Kadinsky who used coloured circles in his work. We looked at the contrast between warm and cool colours and the black and white of the buildings.

Our second piece was using the Maori words we have learnt and using these to create a visual picture. The words become the shape of the picture.

One thing I did well was some very very nice colours.

One thing I could improve on is the placement of my fruit.

Repeated addition

We have been learning how repeated addition is the same as multiplication.

Term 2      Multiplication .

Can you use  repeated addition  for these multiplication problems.

1	2x2=	2+2=4	1	2x5	5+5=10
2	3x2=	3+3=6	2	5x5=	5+5+5+5+5=25
3	6x2=	6+6=12	3	3x5=	5+5+5=15
4	4x2	5+5=8	4	8x5=	5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5=14
5	7x2	7+7=14	5	6x5	5+5+5+5+5+5=13
6	5x2	5+5=2	6	4x5	5+5+5+5=20

Change these repeated addition problems into a multiplication sum.

1	2+2+2=	3x2=6	3+3+3=	3x3=9
2	2+2+2+2+2=	5x2=10	5+5+5+5=	4x5=12
3	2+2+2+2+2+2=	6x2=12	10+10+10=	3x10=13
4	5+5=	5x2=10	2+2+2+2=	4x2=8
5	5+5+5+5+5=	5x5=25	2+2=	2x2=4
6	5+5+5+5+5+5=	5x6=30	10+10+10+10=

to carry on the story. What I like about my writing is my full stops and capital letters.

I need to improve on using adjectives. We also made a google draw showing the things that we would
take with us in on the balloon.

Hot air balloon               

I have packed some clothes. I have packed some food like
2 minute noodles, tomatoes and doughnuts. My mum and dad
and my one friend came with me. We will go to Hong Kong first. I always wanted too and now I'm finally doing it. I would spend all that prize money on homeless people.

When I look out of my hot air balloon, I could hear the little
voices cheering for all the crews. There were lots of birds and
clouds around us. All of the little dots were the homes and
there were tiny little cars that looked like ants. It was so much
fun. It smelt like heaven and I kind of got cloud sick. I had lots
of fun with my best friend Kaira. Cruz’s crew came first in the
end.

Animal Town - Writing Starter

Kia ora

This week we have used another picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and then
we had to carry on the story. What I like about my writing is that it is creative.

I need to improve on my spelling. Here is my writing about Animal Town.

Animal Town

“Yay!” When I visited animal town there was a warning, so I read it and it said “Be careful of all the animals because they are crazy animals.” So I looked out for crazy animals and when I arrived there was a golden lion, a big hairy orangutan, a black and white zebra, a rainbow parakeet, a cute grey and white koala and a big brown and black bear.

They weren't crazy and I had so much fun with the lion. It was the best day of my life and the best memories were where I saw a zebra crossing the street, and an orangutan looking for all the bad animals and a big cute koala climbing a tree and tall meerkats looking at the bear while the bear was in a yellow van with the cute and cuddly koala. The koala is climbing up it’s comfy tree, it likes to eat delicious leaves in my comfy tree.
