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

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.

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

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.
