Open and Closed Questions

What are open and closed questions? Well, an open question is a question where they have more than one answer and an closed question is whe it only has one answer for example How old are you? Where are you from? Those are closed questions because if I answered them I would say 11 and I'm from New Zealand. And here are some open questions What is an Open question? What is an musical production? Now you know what Open and Closed questions are.

My Story {up to my problem}

In an empty super-market, the scorching sun was shining into the clean hard window and also into Andy Apples' eye's. "OH" He groaned as he slowly widened his eyes. "C'mon, everyone" Andy screeched loudly down each aisle. "I ain't letting a human see us sleeping!" He continued. "It's, I'm NOT letting a human see us sleeping" Sandy Strawberry yelled feeling annoyed. "Not I AIN'T letting a human see us sleeping" Sandy hated it when people didn't say their sentences right. "Who cares" Andy replied. "I don't"

Suddenly 'Bang' the red, rickety round doors slammed open. Andy got into position like all the others. " Mummy, Mummy!" Screamed a little girl. " Buy some fruit, fruit Mummy, fruit!" She jumped up and down, then a giant hand grabbed...Andy Apple, Catie Cucumber, Kenny Carrot, Sandy Strawberry, Terri Tomato and Leo Lemon. "I can hear a rustling sound" Andy whispered panicking."Oh, it's just a plastic bag"Catie answered. Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop. All the fruit bounced in as they all heard children screaming and trolleys crashing.

The child, Lexi, plunked the plastic bag into the front seat of the car and placed herself in the back. "Bbbrrrrmmm" They zoomed off until they were down Reaching Lane, Lexi jumped out the car swinging the plastic bag.

Mean while her mum scooped all the fruit out except one, Andy. Mum placed the fruit in the bottom of the fridge and accidentally put Andy in the freezer.

And that is the end of my story up to my problem.

Bhana Cup

Wow! Who knew Bhana Cup would be so much fun? Well, I know I had fun and I'm sure most of you others (people who got into Bhana Cup, Teachers, Umpires e.c.t) did too, and now I am going to tell you about Tawhiti's Bhana Cup Hockey Team game. Well, we won two games which is fine at least we had a great game, we faced Normamby, St Joes, TuruTuru, Carlyle, Hawera Primary and more, we all played hard and Marshall, Jake and Briana were awesome out there. Waverly won the Hockey Cup because they were strong, fast and they spread out heaps and I think that the other schools were strong and fast too including us but we needed to not give up and I know that I gave up for a while but I think I learnt from my mistake that even if they get a goal or two we can still win and I think everyone else shouldn't of gave up if they did.

I've been on Blogger heaps!

It may not look like I've been on my learning blog heaps but I have, sometimes I just don't know what to write about and right now it's one of those times so let me think...2 minutes later... I know what to write I've been on the Internet and I have found out some information about animals .

Giraffe's and humans have the same amount of bones in their neck.

There are presently over a million animal species upon planet earth.

The reptiles have 6,000 species crawling in their habitats; and more are discovered each year.

There are over 70,000 types of spiders spinning their webs in the world.

Well, there are 3,000 kinds of lice. Yes, it is the lice we are prone to get due to lack of hair hygiene.

This is a mind-boggling fact – for each of the 600 million people there is about 200 million insects crawling, flying...

Mammals are the only creatures that have flaps around their ears.

The world has approximately one billion cattle, of which about 200 million belong to India.

The life of a housefly is only 14 days.

A dog was the first animal to up in space.

A sheep, a duck and a rooster were the first animals to fly in a hot air balloon. The oldest breed of a dog known to mankind is the ‘Saluki’.

An ostrich is the fastest bird and can run up to 70 km/h.

Never get a camel angry, for he or she will spit at you.

There are crabs that are the size of a pea. There are known as ‘Pea Crabs’.

The lifespan of 75 percent of wild birds is 6 months.

Denmark has twice as many pigs as there are people.

You do not need cotton buds to clean a giraffe ears. It can do so with its own 50cm-tongue.

Want to known the appetite of a South American Giant Anteater? Well it eats over 30,000 ants, per day.

The sailfish can swim at the speed of 109 km/h, making it the fastest swimmer.

The Sea Horse is the slowest fish, drifting at approximately 0.016 km/h.

The small car on the road is probably the size of the heart of a blue whale.

The length of an elephant is the same as the tongue of a blue whale.

The crocodile's tongue is unmovable, as it is attached to the roof of its mouth.

Squares are so smart!

SQUARES ARE SO SMART!

You want to know why? Well, I'll tell you why, squares have got new learning intention and that learning intention is similar to the other one except it's Use a range of strategies to solve division problems, and we've only learnt one strategy which is place value and this is how you use it. Place Value

125 / (dividby) 5= 100 / 5 = 20 25 / 5 = 5

20 + 5 = 25

Infering

Remember my learning intention, well, if you forgot or didn't know it was to INFER.

Another quick reminder inferring is: Reading between the lines, looking for clues, visualising and more.

Well, what I was saying was I want to show you another show and tell sentence so I can prove to you that I can actually infer.

Here we go.

Tell: Nan is nice.

Show:Nan makes me muffins, cleans my room, doesn't yell at me (much), she buys me clothes, buys me shoes, accessories and takes me to places.

Ella & Ob Book Review

Ella & Ob


Bella's mother is a scientist and has disappeared while researching recycling. Her father is upset and is getting stranger by the day. Now Bella's about to meet Bob...a ghost who calls himself 'Ob' (the 'B' is silent) and that's not the only bit that's missing. While meeting Bob she finds that ghosts have missing parts of their body too so it shows, if you don't understand what I just wrote then here's a bit of the story (in my words) that might make you understand- When people lose their teeth or anything you CAN'T see it but when ghosts lose their teeth or anything you CAN see it- get it. I recommend this book especially if you like/love mysteries, I personally rate this book an 8/10 for the mysterious things that happen in this story. So get to your nearest library or book store where you can get this book and READ IT!

P.S This is my first Book Review so thanks for listening to it, please comment if you have anything to say about my first Book review.

My learning intention for Reading

W.A.L.T: Infer

This means: Reading between the lines, looking for clues, showing not telling e.c.t.

• David's books were ripped lying in the corner, clothes scattered around the floor, draws stuck open, the blankets on the bed was all the way at the end of it and Mum could even see food scraps under the bed.

From this we can infer:

David's room was messy and he is too.

Student Led Confrences

Everyone said about Student Led Conferences"Aaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh! Student Led Conferences is going to be so scary.I'm nervous. What am I going to do ?" But after Student Led Conferences your parents actually loved it and I think most of you did too, so I think that if we were going to do this again we would be experts at it. So what did we say after Student Led Conferences "Wow, that wasn't bad after all" or "That wasn't as scary as I thought it would be" So this goes out to everyone Student Led Conferences aren't scary!

P.S My parent who came to Student Led Conference said that I was doing excellent and have improved in my learning so did the teachers and I'm sure all of you guys(Room 6 ) did too.

What I am learning for Maths

W.A.L.T (We are learning to) in Maths

Solve multiplication(x tables) problems using a range of strategies.


S.C (Success Criteria)

Tidy numbers. Place Value.

19 x 8 = 20 x 8 = 160 - 8 = 152 15 x 8 = 8 x 5 = 40 8 x 10 = 80
80 + 40 = 120

Doubling and Halving.
15 x 12 = 30 x 6 = 180
