The difference between Volume and Capacity

This week my class has been learning about Volume and Capacity. We had to do research the difference. When I researched the difference I didn't know that they were similar.

Multiplication 9 time tables

In this game I was learning about 9 time tables. I found this game really hard  but I like to challenge myself. Next time I will do my 12 time tables and see if I will get 100% again.

3D shapes

This week we have been learning about 3D shapes. I then decided to make a pyramid. In this exercise we  had to create a shape and see if the formula would work. The formula was E = V + F - 2 and it worked. 

Crazy Cone

In this activity I was doing my 8 time tables. I got all of my questions right. At first I thought that this game would be hard but it was a bit easy. I was so full of joy because I thought it was going to be hard but it wasn’t.

TERCET POEM

                     Today for writing I created  a Tercet poem about Matariki. 

My e asttle results

This is my results for my reading, writing and maths. In reading I got a 4P. I  was full of joy when I got a 4P because this was my first 4P in reading.

In maths we had to do 2 tests the first one was a 3A and I was disappointed because I dropped 1 level down. In the second we did a strand test and I got a 4A and I was happy because I knew that I was meant to get a stage 4A.

For writing I got a 3B and I was smiling like the sun because I moved a level up.  Next time I will try and aim for a 4P or 4B.

It was almost Spring when Emily, Mum and I were about to explore Mysterious Island. I had found out about the island when Mr Randy was talking about it in class. When I had found out about this my eyes were full of tears.

After 2 hours in a plane I then awoke and saw fog approaching us. At first I thought that it was like (Mrs Foglore ) from the book James and the Mysterious Island. But I forgot it was a fiction book and those books aren't true. We then kept on flying around and saw that the fog was disappearing. As it disappeared I could feel that I was a bit dizzy.

Finally I could hear mum saying  “ We're here. “ My frown then turned upside down and I could see the Island. I then sprinted off the plane and the first thing I could see were human bodies with no flesh. My heart ws racing and my face turned blue.

Emily quickly ran ahead and while mum and I were still trying to catch up to her we saw a lighthouse. The entryway then opened mysterious and all I could pick up was “ This island is cursed, I’m telling you cursed. “ Emily and I were spooked about what the  weird voice had said. When then found a cottage and decided to speed the night in the cottage.

I go up but come back down. I get thrown into nets but come back out. I can roll and bounce but not that high.  I try to escape but can’t. I sometimes think that I am getting chased. Somethings I just want to hide away but manage to always get found. People attack me but I try to run.  I have a rebound to  try get through the net but sometimes don’t go through the net. WHAT AM I ????
