This Is My evidence of learning for Mean,Median,Mode and Range
I tried this at home with the support of my mum to help me understand the meaning of all of it. I now have the understanding of them but still need a bit more practice with Mean, Median, Mode and Range

Place Value Of Decimals

I have now completed place value of decimals and i am very proud that i have finished all of my maths goals and i now need to add in my next goals 

Addition by Rounding and Compensating

Halfs, Quarters And Eighths

This Shows That i know My halves, Quarters and eighths!. The first question that i got wrong i did actually get right other than choosing which one was bigger because i wasn't sure if they wanted me to say the bigger number or smaller number!

Fractions of a Whole Number

This is my proof that i can find fractions of whole numbers!

Subtracting 3 Digit Numbers

This shows that i can now subtract 3 digit numbers I was very proud of myself that i got 10 out of 10!

Adding 3 Digit Whole Numbers

This shows that I have achieved one of my goals for adding 3 digit numbers

Times Tables Algorithms

Natalia helped me learn these times tables algorithms 

the writing says "This is my 2nd try at these algorithms and I know understand"

All my algorithms!!!

Converting Fractions to improper fractions

I thought i knew how to do this but when Elizabeth was checking my work it wasn't quite right. I had the idea right i was just subtracting rather than adding but once we worked it out together i had it nailed!!!

Here is my Proof

Basic multiplication facts 2x , 5x , 10x,

i worked hard to achieve this goal by practising my times tables everyday and asking for help when it was needed!

Here Is My Proof!

Cultural Studies - Facts Of Japan

What pets do japanese people have as pets and what are some popular names

The Four Most popular pets in japan are

• Dogs
• Cats
• Fish

Japanese candy

A very popular candy is a maccha kitkat. The maccha kitkat is a green kitkat that is green tea flavoured i would love to try this!!

Another extremely popular candy is kracie pop cookin kits, they are essentially small packets of flavoured coloured powders that you mix together with water and pour into these small little plastic compartments. Its pretty weird to be honest!. I have had one of these before and it's pretty cool and really fun to make it doesn't taste to good but over all it's a really cool experience! Here's a photo to show you. You can get different packs for different foods like hamburgers and soda, candy sushi , cakes, icecreams and so much more it's a really fun experience so if you ever see them in japan you should definitely try it!!!

And last of all another awesome candy is pocky sticks they are cookies in a stick form dipped in different flavoured chocolates i have not tried these but they sound delicious

How did japan Get Its Name

Both Nippon and Nihon literally mean the sun's origin and are often translated as the Land of the Rising Sun. This nomenclature comes from Imperial correspondence with Chinese Sui Dynasty and refers to Japan's eastward position relative to China.

Athletics Day

My highlight of athletics day was surprisingly the 100 meter sprint because i was really not looking forward to because i didn't think i was very fast so i was nervous i would be last but then i came 4th so i was very very very proud of myself and i was so proud of everyone else who did awesome too!!. The most challenging part of the day for me was high jump because i got scared at the bar and ending up not doing any jump after the first one that i got over which was 75cm but i'm glad i gave it a go anyway. Next time i will try make goals before i go to athletics day so that i can try and achieve my goals. Overall i really enjoyed athletics day even though it rained heaps!!  

Scientific Method

My Question/ Problem:

• What Weather is best for growing watercress

Research Notes:

My Hypothesis:

I think that the watercress in the shade will grow the most because the shade will keep the moisture in the seeds to help them grow where as the watercress in the sun will evaporate the water and dry the plant out!  

Experiment/ Investigation:

Equipment:

3-4 inches Potting Soil  

1 packet Watercress Seeds

Water

A sunny area & a shady area

2 Ice cream containers  

Method:

1. Firstly pour 1-2 inches of potting soil into ice cream containers.
2. Then use finger to make two small  rows in the soil.
3. Next sprinkle seeds into the rows and gently cover with soil.
4. Then softly water the soil and put one  ice cream container in sun and one in shade!
5. water everyday and measure with a ruler
6. Record plant growth data
7. Once fully grown (or as much as you would like them to grow) record what plant grew the most!

Variables

-What is changing (independent variable): the weather (sun & shade)

-What is staying the same (Controlled variables): the type of plant

-What is being measured (dependent variable): the height of the plant

Procedural Writing - What weather is best for growing watercress

Things I will Need

• 3-4 inches Potting Soil  
• 1 packet Watercress Seeds
• Water
• A sunny area & a shady area
• 2 Ice cream containers  

1. Firstly pour 1-2 inches of potting soil into ice cream containers.
2. Then use finger to make two small  rows in the soil.
3. Next sprinkle seeds into the rows and gently cover with soil.
4. Then softly water the soil and put one  ice cream container in sun and one in shade!
5. water everyday and wait to see the growth.
6. Record plant growth

Hypothesis

I think that the watercress in the shade will grow the most because the shade will keep the moisture in the seeds to help them grow where as the watercress in the sun will evaporate the water and dry the plant out!  

Gymnastics

We started off by learning to skip correctly and landing i the correct positions, we then learned about different jumps, proper rolly pollys, bunny hop handstand and then normal handstands. Our instructors the n split us off into 2 groups where we did cool activities such as walking on the beam, jumps off a mini trampoline and onto the mat, backwards roly polies and lifting ourselves up on the pole thing and then we swapped and did the opposite side. And lastly we thanked our instructors and walked back to  class. I really enjoyed this experience doing gymnastics and hope i have this opportunity again!

The Start Of My New Story

Chapter 1

Dear Diary #1

It was final done never ever ever going to change we were moving house no matter what I say. Hi im Alexa or Lexi for short! Im 6 and ½ years old and I am writing in this diary because I am sad that I have to move house. I love my house and I love my school but most importantly I love my friends and if I move house then that means I have to move school and if I move school that means I have to move friends, wait hold up I don't think that makes sense I can't  move my friends haha but I will have to make new friends and I won't be able to see them again.

“Alexia !!” That was my mother calling me it must be time to leave but i didn't want to go i love it here i grew up here and i want to keep growing up here . And that was when i had a wonderful idea but if i was going to do this i would have to really commit. “ Ok Coming Mum!!!” I grabbed my bag, some extra food  and my pocket money, I was scared but i couldn't just let them take me away!.

Spanish Spins

In spanish I made a poster with a popular phrase in spanish  (and english below it)

I worked with Nicola and a girl from the high school who was really good at her pronunciation and was a great role model for me. I am glad that i put my name up for spanish because it is really stretching me and it's an awesome language to know. A possible opportunity is to learn how to start a conversation in spanish!. I am really enjoying spanish because i think it is an awesome opportunity that i have been given and also it is an awesome experience as i have never learned another language other than english and maori.
