Duffy Assembly

Today we had A Duffy Assembly.

Marc Duffy spoke to us about believing in ourself and not giving up, Marc Duffy told a story about a young boy named "Fred" and how this young boy could not read as a young child  he would always read right to left instead of left to right i normal way so he had gotten bullied a lot because of it so after 6 years of being in that school the parents moved him to a different school but Fred still could'nt read properly so he was moved again to a school in Manurewa but after a year or two Fred had gotten suspended because Fred was kind of mischivious of course after this he started talking to the wrong people that he should'nt have been talking too.

After this happened the went to a Juvinile but then he went to Prison, At Prison Fred had met a teacher who taught him how to read properly using a ruler which helped Fred read on the right side, the Teacher did this for Fred for a whole year, After Fred got out he fully knew how to read so after this Freds life started going up hill and now Fred who is actually Marc Duffy is the owner of a big store in Hamilton.

Marc Duffy now has 3 kids 1 which he adopted from samoa and Duffy also said take away the t from cant and turn it into a can cause if you believe you can do it.

This year I'll be focusing on blogging my work and finishing it at a high quality pace. I am a hard working student that also really likes sports like volleyball and basketball. My goals for this year is growing my confident and being able to show my work to my family at home and friends.

Fraction Cups

Today for maths i learnt fractions.

We cut a cup into quarters and another cup into eights.

First we got a cup and cut it into quarter but we had to draw a line to know where we have to cut it.

Then we got another cup to cut the cup into eight pieces.

I  drew a straight line from the top to the bottom of the cup I then cut the cups.

First I cut one of the cups into quarters then I cut the second cup into eight pieces.

Learning about fractions are fun when we do activity's about it. 

Division story problems

 I had to come up with division stories.

First we had to write how much objects they had all together.

Next we had to write how we divided them.

After we had to see how much each person got.

Lastly we had to write the algorithm for the equation. For example 3 ÷ 3 = 1.

Brain storming

This week we learned about brainstorming.

First we have to watch a video about brainstorming, when the video is done we need to get into partners.

Once we have our partners we have topics, When we get told the topics we have to write reasons on why we agree with the topic or why we disagree.

Next when we were done with the topics we have to create a google doc with school, home and community  then you have to write 3 topics having to do with home, school or community. When you have all of the topic you need to chose 2 topics and write reasons on why you agree with it. 

Division story problems

 I had to come up with some division story. 

First we had to write how much objects they had all together.

Next we had to write how we divided them.

After we had to see how much each person got.

Lastly we had to write the algorithm like 2÷2.

Division

Division is sharing objects among a number of groups evenly.

For example 6 counters were shared among 3 people so everyone got 2 counters each, 6 ÷ 3 = 2

The slide below shows 3 division equations.
