Maths DLO

This week for maths.

We did percentages to fractions and the other way round. I will show you how to make percentages to fractions. Here is my DLO

Brunner mine site

This Monday we went to a place called Brunner Mine. It is an old site that had a big explosion that killed 65 men. Most were buried at the mass grave in the Stillwater Cemetery but some were burred at the Greymouth Cemetery because they are Catholic. Other people were buried at their family plots.


We had a really good time at Brunner thanks to the ladies from Shantytown we got to dress up and do role plays. We also did mimes from the book (the mines afire). We went for a walk around the Brunner site, looked at the site of the explosions and what used to be there. There was old coke ovens that had been turned into sheds, new beehive coke oven also we saw where the airway and where the air came in. 

 

Week 8

This Friday we had a colour day for all the Muslim community in Christchurch we raised $80.10  and we also feel very sorry about what happened.  

Week 8

This weekend I am going to Waimea to play a squash tournament and I am in a hard draw but I will try my best to win. I am a J1 but I am seeded fourth. last time there were like 250 people. 

Week 7

This week we did a poem on a colour I chose red and here is my poem

Red is blood dripping off your knee onto the ground.

Red is the inviting smell of red velvet cake wafting gently around my nose.

Red is strawberries freshly picked from a crop.

Red is the cherry that bursts with a sweet flavour.

This week we are also training for league, last year our school was unbeaten in Christchurch. We also had a tournament at Wingham Park and we won so we are hoping to win again this year.

Music

This week we did this we had to find our favourite song and explain why we liked it.
