Handshakes

Problem Solving

LI: To use my number knowledge to help me choose the best strategy to solve this problem

Work with a friend to solve this problem from the transum website. Once you have done this you will need to make a screen recording to show your thinking.

http://www.transum.org/Software/SW/Starter_of_the_day/starter_November8.ASP\

Which means that the answer is 351

Explain:

There are 27  students in room 9, and if 2 students shook hands with each other that would relate to 1 handshake. So if 3 students shook hands that would calculate up to 3 handshakes and you keep going, the answer would be 351.

Answer: 351

This is a maths problem solving activity that Kyra and I have done. It was to calculate how many handshakes will there be with 27 students in Room 9. Kyra and I have worked collaboratively.

Fast Finger Result

Rapids

Rapids

LI: To identify the rhyme in the poem

At the early day of spring
Beyond forest where nightingale will sing
Beyond castle of a ghost of forest king
The great river started as a lively spring

The river in tributaries grew
Pushing it way through
Carving canyons and valleys too
So strong on very canvas of earth it drew

But soon this awesome run turns into mild jog
The river winds disappearing somewhere in a fog
It turns into a large bog
Barely strong enough to push a log

The swamp is vital to ecology
And it’s secretive and full of majesty
But I miss river’s intensity
On my soul it left enchantment and history

I admire its beauty
As I watch I feel something eerie
And I think I hope to use that history
To change the very momentum of chaos and biology

1. What language features can you identify in the poem? List examples of each language feature you identify.

• Personification.
• Metafore
• Simile
• Rhyme

2. Highlight the rhyming words in yellow?

3. Write out the dictionary meanings of:

• majesty: Supreme authority or power.
• intensity: Exceptionally great concentration, power, or force.
• eerie: Strange and frightening.

4. Describe the journey of the rapids?

The Rapid’s journey started on spring. It was flowing really, really fast and then in seconds it started to flow super slow because of the wind wasn't blowing any more.

This is my poetry that I have done about rapids with my friend, Kapri. We had to identify all of the language feature in the poem.

My Poem

Memories

At all moments life's precious

With all the chattering and laughter

With its pain and sorrows

Life's a mocking bird

With you at times

Against your willful cries

Strong ties from heart to heart
Keep safe and bonded together
Left twisted and bent...
Like a broken doll

To say it in simple words
Expressing a thousand emotions
Life's but a walking shadow,
Always has, is and will be
DARK!!!

Hi, this is a poem that I made with a little help from my two older cousins and the memories they reminded me. Life I have discovered is a continual battle of good and bad, big and small, beautiful and dark. You had to have it all to know the importance of living!

Our Mount Tongariro Report

The Rise Of Mount Tongariro.

New Zealand's Mount Tongariro has roared back to life after 150 years asleep. Parts of the North Island spreading as far as Napier, Taupo and Wanganui have been covered with thick ash. Flights to Napier have been delayed and pilots have been told not to fly aeroplanes near Mt Tongariro because of the smoke.

I am standing in the town where Mount Tongariro has erupted. The people here said that they were so terrified they thought they were going to die. All they could hear was big crashing noises. Residents say their hearts were beating so fast they almost had heart attacks. Babies were crying, children were screaming, dog’s barking, cats hissing and many other animals making their terrified noises. Locals report that the eruption started around 11:50 pm, close to midnight.

Farmers are worried about their water and food supplies, as water and food for animals are covered in ash. Ponds and river seem to be covered in a thin layer of what appears to be paint. People were seeking shelter as lava and boulders came spurting out of the top of the  enormous giant.

Following last nights eruption, local people woke up to find the ground covered in a thick layers of ash. Flights have been cancelled, roads and tracks have been closed. people now face a big clean up after this eruption has taken place.

At first people did not heed the warnings and didn't take it seriously. Then at 11:50 PM on Monday 21 November, Mt Tongariro took everyone by surprise by unleashing ash, smoke and boulders towards houses, farming lands and ponds. People were regretting not taking the warning seriously. Volcanologists say that the eruption was just a one of event, worst case scenario is that this is the beginning of a bigger and terrible eruption.

People are not sure when the next eruption will take place. They have been told that if they are caught in ash fall, cover your face, seek shelter, protect eyes with goggles. Don’t wear contact lenses however if you need to make sure you wear goggles as well. We can’t stop mother nature but we can take steps to protect our eye sight.

Hi this is a report that Mahdia, Kapri and I on Mt Tongariro's eruption.

Our Rock Cycle

Hi this is a Google draw that Phoenix and I made about the rock cycle. First we had to do a dictation race where one person has to memorize a few sentences and then go back to his/her partner and tell them the lines they memorized. The partner then has to write down exactly what his/her partner has said. This goes on until they have written down everything the memorizing partner has told them. You then check if you have written everything by checking on the paper. You then have to ask your teacher what your time is and you write it down.
