ANZAC day ( whats going through my head)

Personally I think war is a horrible place hearing bombs day and night. Hearing people cry in agony pleading for help. People breathing their last breath crying bitterly missing their most loved ones.

I get so teary eyed thinking of any family going through things like a husband or father getting killed. Here is a poem I made about war:

long lost friends

grotesque sights

murderous people

to horrific fights

and that was what it was like in the war.

So now you know war was one of the worst things in the world.

2 Paragraph Writing

This year I have enjoyed writing. I enjoyed it because I have been doing writing on a computer and I like typing and I think I have made it more interesting for me and my audience  by using more descriptive words and language. I think I did well because I've been thinking a bit more about if my story would interest the audience then last year








 This year I made progress in biking. I made progress by........
1. learning hand signals
2. power position
3. lifesaver look
And then once everyone had learnt what to do in biking we all started biking to Waimea round about. Once we arrived we got to bike on the road with the cars. To be honest I was quite nervous and when we stopped started turned corners on even get on the road everyone knew what to do.

My Learning for Week 5

Tia's learning for week 5

This week I have learnt how to read numbers up to a trillion

to make this easy I put coma's in between each 3 numbers

I also put the numbers in a number house like this.

We had learning WALT it was We Are Learning To count numbers up to a trillion and one after one before one hundred after one hundred before and being able to read the numbers

I thought counting numbers to one trillion was quite easy because  I felt like I had done it before  but I don't know when. I think that adding 1000 on in a worksheet was hard. And turning a digit in the million house into a zero on a calculator was pretty tricky. 

I guess I got along well and it was pretty fun I loved counting the numbers it was the most fun maths I've had this year .THANKS FOR TEACHING ME MR A !!!
