Positioning Fractions On The Number Line.

Walt: position fractions on the number line.

In this game I was learning to position fractions on to their correct position on the number line. I found it very easy because I have a very good understanding of fractions. Next I would like to have more complex fractions to place on the number line.

St Patricks Day

Walt: explain the legend of St Patrick

St Patrick

Do you believe that St Patrick was born in Ireland? Well he was actually born in Britain in the time of 387 AD. Another fact was that St Patrick real name was Maewyn Succat. His parents, ( Calphurnius and Conchessa ) were a high ranked Roman family.

At the age of sixteen St Patrick was captured by Pagan Irish raiders. He was a slave for Meliuc. He lived in Ireland. St Patrick was a shepherd for his master. He had dreams about god and he then strongly believed in him. St Patrick soon escaped and head out to follow his dreams. He wanted a ship to sail him away to freedom.

He returned back to his family. He then considered himself as a Irish because that is the place where he found god. He then had a vision about him turning all the Irish into Christians. In 432 AD, St Patrick became a bishop by Pope Celestine. He was soon named “Patritius”. That means father of the people.

 

There was some other magical and miracle legends that he was in. He had fights with  druids. He also was confronted by a chieftain named Dichu. Dichu lifted his sword and as he was about to injure St Patrick, his hand became rigid.

 

There are two versions of how St Patrick made the snacks leave Ireland. He used a wooden staff and lead the snakes into the sea and they were banished. The other version is that he tricked the snakes into a small box and he then threw them out to sea. The shamrock explains about the trinity-father, son and the holy spirit. The shamrock ( known as the 3 leaved clover  ) is the national plant of Ireland. It is not the national emblem because the harp has that title.

For 28 years, St Patrick has been spreading word of god. In 462 AD he died on the  seventeenth of March at the age of 76. The original colour of St Patricks day was blue until it was changed to green.

Measurement

Walt: solve measurement problems

In this game I had click on the correct measurements for many different items. It was an easy game for me because I know how to measure objects with a ruler. I would like to have more complex problems on measurement.

Coverting Fractions Into Decimals

Walt: convert fractions into decimals

In this game I had to convert fractions into decimals. I had to know my fractions and decimals. I was on level 5 and I got all my problems correct. It was very easy for me because I had practiced on it before. Next I would like to learn how to convert fractions into percentages.

My Best Holiday

Last year in January I had the most breathtaking experience. My family and I escaped down to Rotorua for my sisters touch tournament. In my parents car we had my mum, dad, nana, my 3 sisters and myself.

First we bounced in the car and drove to McDonalds. We arrived at McDonalds and had our breakfast. It was very early in the morning so it was extremely fast. Then we got ready to go down. We were all thrilled because we haven't been anywhere else but Auckland. I especially was.

Next we had arrived in Rotorua. We found the place where we were going to stay. I jumped out and got my things out of the car. We then went into our cabin and then I strolled to where my auntie was staying. I quickly got into my swimming togs and bombed in the pool. There was a park, spa, swimming pool and a entertainment room. We got to play pool and other incredible games. The best thing was that there was a McDonalds just across the street.

Then the next day came and we packed our stuff for the tournament. It was very hot but still astonishing. The tournament was tremendously long so I just played with my baby cousin. Once the tournament was finished for the day we headed back to the cabin and I strolled straight to the pool. It was a great finish to end the day.

Soon was the 2nd day of the touch tournament. We traveled back down to the field and watched their games again. It was really cool to watch them play. We went back to our cabin and watched some tv. Then we went to the spa and just relaxed.

On the 3rd day we were going back home. Instead of going back home we went on many adventures. We had played on the luge and had fish and chips. We went into a spinning ball which there was a movie playing. We also went to a museum. There was many old things. Then we went to a park and looked at all the hot mud pools. We then went down to hamilton and had a feed at a restaurant. It was such a stunning day.

We soon arrived home and went straight to bed. It was the most eye-opening trip of my life.
