Fun Friday - Marcus Room 9

Fun Friday 

Today is fun friday and my work I had to do was to find a country that starts with the first letter of my name. Since the first letter of my name starts with M, I chose Mexico as my selected country. This is some of the images, videos and information that I put together for my Fun Friday activity.

My second activity for today, I made a butterfly origami. One of my older sisters taught me how to make it and I thought it was very hard but it was actually very easy. This is what it looks like! 

What do you all think about it?

THURSDAY'S READING - BMX BIKING

Today for my reading, I read a book called BMX Biking and I enjoyed it a lot. It talks about BMX racing, it talks about how its a fun sport for children, teenagers and adults. I learnt that it is also similar to motocross racing but instead BMX racers use foot-powered bicycles instead of motorcycles.

Thursday's Mathematics: Equations - Marcus Room 9

 Thursday’s Maths: Equations

I am learning to use addition and subtraction to work out fractions of a set.

I have a 25cm chocolate log cake left and i have to share it with 5 of my friends so i have to think of a way to solve it so if i have a 25 cm log and we divide it by 5 we would give each person 1 cm of log cake until there is nothing left.

If we count in 5s, we start off from 5 x 1 and continue until we count up to 25. 

So 5 x 1 = 5, 5 x 2 = 10, 5 x 3 = 15, 5 x 4 = 20, 5 x 5 = 25 which means each of my friends get 5 cm each. 

25cm divided by 5 = 5.

Marcus' Baking

Today, with my class and teacher we made Chocolate Weetbix slices. It was a very fun time and I enjoyed it a lot. I received help from my sister to complete some of my tasks for my baking session. 

The slices turned out very good and tasted very delicious. This is how it looked once it was done!

Wednesday Reading - Marcus Room 9

Wednesday Reading

For today's reading, I am learning to make inferences. 

Sela clenched his fists until the knuckles were white. He sighed deeply, stood up and stormed toward the door without saying another word. He opened the door and slammed it behind him. His ten team mates sat staring at each other in the stunned silence. 

Who is Sela? 

A guy that is a team player. 

What kind of person is he? How do you know? 

A team player as he has other team mates, about ten of them. 

How is he feeling and that moment and why? How do you  know this? 

He's feeling mad because something bad must have happened and this shows he is mad because he storms out the door and also slams it behind him. 

When and when this action is taking place? How do you know this? 

When he and his team mates are together in the room because they were also there when he walked out very mad. 

For my last part of reading, I had to read a story from my Rivet or Sun shines classic. 

I have chosen to do this book, called 'Monster Trucks'

Monster trucks are machines that jumps over ramps and destroys junk cars and does flips such as back flips, front flips and other stunts. Some trucks don't flip at all and they all looks very huge and awesome. Many fans like watching the monster trucks and taking photos with the drivers and trucks. 

I really enjoyed this book a lot and I reccomend other children to read this if they like Monster trucks too!

Wednesday Mathematics: Equations - Marcus Room 9

Wednesday Mathematics - Equations

For today, I am learning to use addition and subtraction to work out fractions of a set. 

I have to solve a question that has been given: 

Two dogs, Hazel and Harry fought over 9 cm of dog roll. Harry got ⅓ of the dog roll and Hazel got ⅔ of the dog roll. 

How much of the roll did Harry get? 

Harry got 3 cm of the dog roll because 1 x 3 = 3 which means a ⅓ of 9 cm is 3. 

How much of the roll did Hazel get?

Hazel gets 6 cm of the dog roll because calculating 2 x 3 = 6 which means ⅔ of 9 is 6.

Tuesday Reading Marcus R9

 

The man who like grumbling

The story is about the farmer who enjoyed grumbling and goats who annoyed him by chasing his cats and jumping all over his garden. However, the farmer didn't mind the goats playing on his garden and chasing the cats. One day the goats had to move to a better place, so they can have more space. The old man Mr Ratchett didn't want them to move away because he wouldn't be able to grumble. In the end the goats and moving truck came back, and both Mr Ratchett and the goats were happy to be with each other again.

Family Tree - Marcus Room 9

 Family Tree

Below is a image of my family tree which has the names of my family and siblings. My siblings are all girls and they are older than me too, this means I am the youngest and also the only boy amongst me and my siblings. 

Writing for today - Marcus Room 9

 Favourite things about Lock down

I wrote about my favourite things about Lock down and what I also don't like. 

On my part of a presentation, I had to list things I had enjoyed and did not enjoy about Lock down. 

Below is the presentation of my slide: 

This was my writing for today!

Tuesday: Equations - Marcus Room 9

Tuesday - Equations

We are learning to use additions and subtractions to work out fractions of a set. For today’s work, I am working on the question: Three people in the class got one third of a 15cm chocolate log cake and I had to work out how much did each person get? 

By solving this, I divided 15cm between 3 people and by doing that I gave them each a piece one by one which equals 5 for each person.

Teeth-An Irish Short Film - Marcus Room 9

Writing - Teeth-An Irish Short Film

Today, I completed a table based on the short film 'Teeth-an Irish.' It was very weird and disgusting but I still found it very funny. I completed a table for this short film and also worked on writing about the film where I had to pretend I was one of the old men and had to talk about this funny time. 

Make a list of all the nouns and verbs from the video. Then add a list of adjectives to describe what’s happening in the video.

Nouns	Adjectives	Verbs
men  Fish  Ocean  Fishing rods  Hat  Clothes  Boat	Happy men Funny men  Old fishermen Black jacket  White shirt  Disgusting	They’re fishing  They’re laughing  They’re sitting in a boat  The man puts his teeth in the fish mouth

Pretending I am one of the old men and talking about this funny time:

There was this funny time, my buddy and I were on a boat and it was in the middle of the ocean. It was quiet and it was only the both of us fishing. My buddy sat in front of me, he sneezed and his teeth fell out onto the edge of the boat which fell in when the boat had moved forward. He was upset, he had no teeth anymore but I found it all very funny. 

We now sat back to back, still fishing. He was very silent and I was still laughing because of that moment until I caught a fish and because of my good catch, I was happy. I wanted to find a way to make my friend happy, and it was a disgusting thing to do but I pulled my teeth out and put it inside the fish’s mouth and showed it to him, it was very weird. 

He looked at it, pulled the teeth out and put it into his mouth as I kept laughing until he pulled it out because it didn’t fit his teeth and threw it into the water. 

Equations: Hungry Birds - Marcus Room 9

               Equations - Hungry Birds

Today for my Math Equations Home Learning work, I am learning to use addition and subtraction to work out fractions of a set. I have watched a video where I am shown how to work out the equations given.

In the video there are 22 blocks so I gave 10 each to 2 people and there are 2 left so I gave 1 each to them 2 people again and now they have 11 blocks each. So they each got 10 blocks and then 1 more block each. So ½ of 22 is 11.

Now there are 24 blocks so I have to share the blocks between 4 people so I have to give 5 each to every person which now leaves 4 blocks so they all get 1 extra block so now they have 6 blocks each. So ¼ of 24 is 6. 

On my own, I had to work out the equation of Two birds, Billy and Bonnie pulled a large worm out of the ground. They measure it to be 10 cubes long and if each bird gets ½ of the worm, how much will they get? ½ of 10 cubes equals 5 so they will get 5 cubes of the worm. 

Fun Friday - Marcus Room 9

Fun Friday

Today is Fun Friday and for today's work we had to fill in a presentation with different activities and put together interesting facts of the 7 unknown myths and legends that have been listed on one of the slides. 

First I had to complete a Kahoot Quiz to find out my final score to share on my blog. 

Below is an image of my final score. 

As you can see I placed 18th and got a total score of 16000 points. 

Below is a task I had to do, I created a separate presentation to complete this task in my Fun Friday presentation. Click on image for link to my presentation. 

We had some brainteasers to do, it was very fun and I enjoyed it very much. Below this image are more images of the slides we had to finish. 

In this picture I had to fill in boxes of the most followed tik tokers and talk about who they are how many likes they receive and how many followers they have. They are very popular. 

This task was very hard, we had to crack the code by finding the correct places of the 3 numbers we had to find to crack the code. 

Now we had to complete the questions of answering parts of the anime characters slide. The instructions for me were to find out what anime they were from, who are they and talk a little bit about them. 

Lastly, I had to organise each boxes to the correct image of these legendary people.

I had a lot of fun today finishing my presentation for Fun Friday. With the help of my sisters, I was able to finish every part of my tasks for this presentation. 

My Description of Geoff

My description of Geoff

 (Heinz Beanz)

Geoff is a grown man who was once very adorable when he was a child. He has ginger hair and eyebrows, dark brown eyes and is very short. He looked very happy when he was able to work for Heinz Beans, a company which makes beans for every Aussie person. Geoff loved beans very much, he wanted to invent a perfect sized can of beans for everyone and after many tries of creating his product, he still worked very hard in creating it. 

Geoff really liked a girl who worked at the Department of Spaghetti, he continued to work hard on his invention and wanted to give her a can of beans where she gave him a kiss. He was very happy and had become happier when they got married and had children where they begin a new life together. 

He looked like he felt very good and happy to be with someone he loves. He would still keep working hard for his family and would care for his wife when she was pregnant. He started to look older but he still kept working to care for his family and to invent products that will be perfect for everyone.

My Description of Giraffes - Marcus Room 9

 My Description of Giraffes

We are learning to add detail to our writing

The Giraffes in the video are very tall with a long neck and long legs. They are white and have brown spots all over their bodies that come in different shapes. They have two ears and hair-covered horns. They also have purple tongues and look very happy. I can hear their footsteps on the tiled floor when they walk through the hallway. They are brown hair which goes from the top of their head down their neck in a line. 

Some giraffes look very cute and some look very scary because of how their face looks when they walk. Their faces, neck and legs are very skinny but the rest of their bodies are very big. In the video they enjoy diving into the pool, I hear a splash of water when they dive into it.  

When they run, they swing with the giraffe hanging from the roof and they curl into a ball before they dive into the pool and again they go to dive into the pool again with another giraffe hanging from the ceiling in a higher part of the roof. 

The giraffes look very good at diving into the pool, they can do flips and other tricks. They look really cool and are having so much fun too. They look very happy when they are together.

Equations - Marcus Room 9

Mathematics - Equations

 I am learning how to find a fraction of a set and by doing this we were given an equation, 

Faiva owned a farm with 3 paddocks. He had 15 cows to spread evenly on his farm and I had to answer the question, how many cows were in each paddock? 

Below is a drawing of how I solved the equation: 

To evenly spread the cows into each paddock, I split them into three groups with equal numbers. 

Creating A Positive Digital Footprint

 Today I had to talk about creating a positive digital footprint. This is part of my cyber-smart work where I had to finish a presentation with questions that I had to fill in and a drawing I also had to complete. 

First, I had to watch a video that talks about what kind of digital footprint do you want to leave and then explain in my own words the definition of a digital footprint. 

After finishing my first slide, in the next slide below I had to add images of sites that I use which creates my digital footprint.

Below is a google drawing of a footprint that has images of online sites that I use. 

They are a mix of learning and non-learning sites that I enjoy using when I can. 

Below is two tables that I have to fill in and organize whether the online sites I use are for learning and not for learning. This is what I think is for learning and not for learning. 

This is what I had to do to finish my presentation of Creating A Positive Digital Footprint!

Wednesday Mathematics: Equations - Marcus Room 9

 Wednesday Mathematics - Equations

For today’s mathematics, we are learning to find a fraction of a set. By doing this I have to work out how many cows go into each paddock.

There were 8 cows and 4 paddocks. The question was how many cows go into each paddock?

I worked this out by using 8 little images of the cows and putting them into 4 groups/paddocks. In each group/paddock there were 2 images of the cows so that was how I got my answer, there will be 2 cows in each paddock.

Paddock 1:




Paddock 2:

Tuesday's Reading, The Very Wide Load - Marcus Room 9

 

Today for my reading I had to read a book called The Very Wide Load. This story is by Debbie Croft. I read the book out loud to my sisters and then to myself. After reading the book, I had to complete the questions at the end of the story to talk about what had happened in the story. 

The questions are below: 

Where had Mum been for the past few days?

At the city 

Why did Dad groan when he looked at the road ahead? 

Because there a very wide load (truck)

Why was the truck taking up the whole road? 

Because it was turning. 

Why did Eva want Dad to overtake the very wide load? 

Because they were running late to pick up mum. 

Why would it have been dangerous to try to overtake the very wide load? 

Because it was a very wide load. 

Why didn’t Mum receive the first message Eva sent? 

Because the first message wouldn’t send.

Why did Dad say to try sending the message again when they were closer to town? 

So the mum doesn’t need to worry. 

Why did Eva think they had no chance of getting to the station on time? 

Because they might be late. 

Why do police and pilot vehicles need to travel the wide loads on the highway?

To keep it safe for everyone else. 

The story was so good and cool that I liked it a lot. I was able to explain and answer the questions about the book.

Same And Different - Marcus Room 9

 Same And Different

Yesterday I asked my mum questions for my Same And Different. Where I had to talk about what's different about the both of us and what's the same. Below we have put together some things that are the same and that are different between the both of us. 

 We came up with a lot of answers for all the questions.

My life in Level 3 lockdown-Marcus room 9

 Level 3 Lockdown 

Last week Wednesday Auckland went into level 3 lockdown, and the rest of New Zealand are in level 2 lockdown. Because of the lockdown we had to stay home to stop the spread of the virus. 

When lockdown started I stayed home, watched movies and played with my nerf guns and toys. I felt very bored and missed my friends so much. We had to stay in lockdown for 3 days but then it moved to 12 days. We couldn't do very much, we couldn't go out and hang out with other people outside our bubble.

During the weekend I was just annoying my sisters because I was bored and don't have anyone to play with. On Saturday night me and my sisters ate dinner and watched a movie called Annie, and that’s what we do most of weekend.

Yesterday was my first day of doing online learning in this lockdown. I feel ok because I finally got to see my classmates and teacher and do some work. My sisters made brownies and it tasted very good. And today the day has started.

This lockdown had some good times but also had times where i didnt like it, because I miss my friends and I miss going to school and playing on the playground. But i like it because i can spend time with my sisters and my mum and dad when they come home from work.

Mondays Math 17th August by Marcus: Room 9

WALT: Find the fractions of a set

In the video I have to find the fractions of a set where it tells you to half  20 tennis balls. I did this by splitting the 20 tennis balls into two groups of ten.

In  the second part I had to split 12 tennis balls into three groups. I did this by splitting 12 tennis balls into 3 groups of 4

 

In the last part i had to split 50 tennis balls into 5 groups.i did this by splitting 50 tennis balls into 5 groups of 10.

As part of my Maths I finish 2 activities of my Matific
