Do you know how to do reversibility? If you don't then I will teach you

Hi guys and welcome back to my blog! This week for Maths we have been learning reversibility. At first I did not know what on earth that was until we watched videos and did some questions on Khan Academy. For our follow up we had to create a poster with examples on teaching you different strategies on how to do the questions! This is mine!

Now that you have looked at the different ways of working out can you do reversibility? tell me how you do in the comments!

 

My Writing on Jean Batten!

Hi guys and welcome back to my blog! This week for Writing we have been looking at trying to fix out Famous New Zealanders Report! I was doing Jean Batten and Fortunately for me I found a lot of information
This is my Writing follow up!

Introduction                                                           Supporting Details 

Jean Batten made a number of record breaking solo flights across the world

After two failed attempts to fly from England to Australia in 1933 she successfully completed a return journey in May 1934.

Jean Batten was born in Rotorua and became the best known New Zealander of the 1930s internationally by making a number of record breaking solo flights across the world. Jean Battens ambition to learn to fly was in the late 1920’s. Her Mother who she had a great relationship with encouraged her with this. In 1929 Jean’s mother took her on a holiday to Sydney and arranged her to fly with Australian Aviator Charles Kingsford Smith. 

A year later Jean sailed to England with her Mother and began to learn to fly at the London aeroplane club. By December she got her A licence and had her eye on breaking the women's record from a flight from England to Australia. Jean borrowed money from a young New Zealand Pilot who wanted to marry her. After completing her B licence in December 1932 she had nothing to do with him. After two failed attempts to fly from England to Australia in 1933 she successfully completed a return journey in May 1934. 

Jean soon started planning new record breaking flights. In 1935 she made her flight from West Africa to Brazil, becoming the first woman to fly solo across the South Atlantic. Jean Batten Landed in Auckland on the 16th of October 1936 she'd successfully completed the first ever direct flight from England to New Zealand. Although Jean broke world flying records several times this was the longest of all of her journeys.

Communication Reflection!

Hi guys and welcome back to my blog! This week we have been focusing on the 6 c's. Today I will be talking to you guys about Communication. If you are working in your group you defiantly need communication. Communication helps you work together and share ideas. We did heaps of fun games that we needed to use communication in. Our group isn't really the best at working together but we got there in the end. Communication has helped us a lot when we had ideas about of Fair game! Next time when you work in a group make sure you use communication cause it can defiantly help!

Do you think communication can be used for something else? If so please comment!

Swimming!

Hi guys and welcome back to my blog! For the past two weeks we gave been going to Qe11 for swimming lessons. It has been really fun and my favourite part is when the floor moves down! My teacher's name is Nicole and she is a really nice lady. On Thursday we got to use the boat and the life jackets. I can't wait for tomorrow when we get to wear our pajamas!

Where do you swim and if you do swim what is your favourite stroke?

Collaboration reflection

Hi guys and welcome back to my blog! This term for two weeks we have been collaborating in groups to make a game for the Fair! During this PBL I have showed collaboration by:

• I saw that no one had made a poster so I took initiative and made one 
• I made a document and asked the people in my group who could buy some stuff for our game
• I listened to the others when they had ideas to make the game better  

My Goal for next time is: Take charge when people in the group are not listening and tell them to not muck around so we can get things done faster.

What collaboration strength do you bring to a team?
