Adding decimals

Today for maths we did adding decimals. There is the Whole, Tenths and Hundreds. The had part is adding the left overs into the equation. The easy part is knowing that the decimals has its own place.

Fun run

Last Friday 7 September we traveld to the United Kawakawa RFC on the train to do our fun run/cross country. When we arrived there we were excited to think of what was a head of us that day. So as we arrived we sat under the tarpaulin and slowly waited for our ages to get called out . One by one our names were called out by miss Henare and some of the year 8 and 7's. When my age was called my guts sank like quit sand. As soon as she beeped the horn I was coming around 5th place then over took people to 3rd place. As we were jumping in and threw obstacles. When we were almost at the finish line me and Lj were coming neck and neck until he just beet me And at the end we headed back to we we got dropped off by the train and waited for the train will just playing. Ten minutes later the train unexpectedly finally arrived to our destination.

Floating classroom

On friday our class and room 2 went to Urupukapuka island to learn about pests and our native birds. As we boarded the boat I was thinking about what we are about to learn on the boat and the island. As we hit the island I see a whole Heep of big snapper just hanging around the warf. Our first activity was building and I was our constructionist in our class. We were building pests traps and learning how to trap and track them. Our second activity was planting. We were walking up the hills scanning the orange and blue triangles as we got to our planting destination we moved the weeds and started digging. Then we plopped out the plant out of the plastic bag and then started to plant it. As we were walking we jumped onto the boat and headed off home.
