Abbie Rules Tidy Numbers

In class today we were  learning how to use tidy numbers to answer problems like 

72-49= ?

We can use place value but it is hard on this problem

 A tidy number is 10s 

You can use you prior knowledge and use your rounding and family of facts to help too.

So you would change 72 into 70

70-49 = 21  and then you to have add the 2 back on from the 72

21 + 2 = 23

So  the answer is 23

We can use family of facts to check: 

49 + 23 = 72

Emily working on a Can Do

This morning when we were working on our Must Do Can Do I was the only one                                                           

finished. So I got to do a Can Do. The Can Dos are when you pick an activity out of the pink box. There is lots of literacy activities in the pink box. I chose to make a sentence using the magnetic poetry. It is  when you make a sentence out of magnets. I wrote "In the night

my brother makes a scary nose and wakes me up."      

Story by Shannon - lollipops Playland

Lollipops play land.

My heart was pounding as I stepped out of the car and on to the car park.  I ran to Lollipops entrance door. I had to make my feet stop or else, I would of bumped into the counter. My Aunty, my mum, my two sisters, dahlia and xanthe were way behind me. I had to wait for them because you have to pay for lollipops. My Aunty paid for us. It was 14 dollars a family. After Aunty Merril paid for us, we “Zoomed” into Lollipops. We found a table to put all our stuff on and we were on the merry-go-round like a flash in the sky. The first round on the merry-go-round I went on a horse. Dahlia went on a horse as well. Shinaye went on a tractor. Ella went on another tractor and my cousin Xanthe went in a little aeroplane. Xanthe looked so cute in the little aeroplane. An hour later it was time to go back to my Aunties house. We had hot chips for afternoon tea. We had those about 4:00. Then we had dinner at 6:00. We had homemade pizzas. Then at 8:00 we went to bed. I slept with my cousin called Dahlia. My mum, Shinaye and Ella slept up stairs.

 The End  

The Ruined Wrist by Emily

The Ruined Wrist

Left, right, left, right. Swish the gentle touch of the wind picked up my hair. I left tracks through the hard, wet, grey concrete. Pumping my arms the wheel raced at lightning speed. Stumble, trip, hand out, oh no. The pain throbbed like a knife stabbing you again and again. The hard concrete made me feel like I had pins and needles through my hurt body. Sitting in terrible pain I knew the feeling. I put my arm over my throbbing wrist. Jordan my brother didn't come to help me because I didn't scream and I didn't want to tell him that I hurt my wrist. I put my left hand very gently on my wrist. I walked as slow as a slug over to the wooden step near the orange door. Then I took off my skates. The pain grew stronger as I tried to undo my laces. Step by step I walked towards the door. As soon as I got inside I waited for mum and dad to get home so I could tell them about my wrist. So Mum took me to the doctors. We walked in.  While mum had a conversation  with the lady at the counter I sat down. “Emily” the nurse called up. We walked into a room with a doctors bed covered with a white shade. The nurse said after a little chat to mum and me. “We need to get an x ray”. So I did. After the x ray,  I got to see my x ray there was a green stick fracture in my bone so I got a back slab for 2 weeks and a full cast on and I chose a colour which was yellow. I wasn’t surprised that I broke an another bone. 

Cameron's Dragon Poem

My dragon
My dragon’s fire is as hot as boiling acid,
His body is as green as a leaf,
His sharp spikes are as pointy as needles,
His eyes are like glowing pools of lava,
He flies as fast as an eagle swooping down to catch his prey,
His tail is as bony as a skeleton,
That’s my dragon.
