Solve Division Problems by Using Time Tables Facts

This term I have been learning about a strategy for maths it is called "Change Unknown." So In this DLO I will be teaching you how to do it. It is a pretty good strategy for division problems. So I hope this DLO helps you and I hope you had a great day BYE!

Timeline

This term we had been learning about "mysteries." Mysteries are like unsolved things like a sighting of an Bigfoot. But I picked a different mystery I chose the "Roswell UFO Incident" it is a UFO sighting in Roswell. We had to figure out some facts and information of the UFO. So I made a timeline for the UFO incident but I haven't finished it yet although I still can put some things in it and it will just keep updating the timeline. I think I have done well it was a little bit challenging because we I had to search some information. But I think I need to my next step is: Be more faster and focused to finish the timeline faster. But anyways I hope you still learned something and I hope you have a great day BYE!

This is an introductory course split into two parts.

Part One in this session covers all the physical features of the Chromebook. It also covers important aspects of The Kawa of Care and ways to practically apply the values of this document in the home.

Part Two is a basic introduction in accessing children’s work from relevant sites. In this session, parents will be shown a classroom site, a classroom blog and then a child's individual blog.

From here parents will be shown the difference between all three, how each site or/and blog may be relevant for different times and how to effectively use them as a means to engage with children’s learning, to to stay informed.

Animals At WW1

This term we had been learning about ANZAC Day. We had to choose a topic for ANZAC so I chose "Mascots At War". Then we have to make a slide show for it, but first we need to find some information first. After we gathered enough information it was the time to make our slide show. I think I did well doing my slide show and maybe I should be more focused so I can finish my slide show a bit faster. But anyways I hope you liked my slide show and I hope you learned something from it, and don't forget to comment BYE!

Unidentified Flying Object???

At this term Ako Ngatahi have been learning about mysteries we had a several choices for our mystery. So I picked "Roswell UFO Incident" I chose the UFO because I was really interested about it. So I went into google drawing and make a poster about the UFO Incident but I looked a little bit of information about the UFO first. After I gather enough information I made my poster so Here it is I think I have done well to my poster because I made the background color easy to read. But I thing I should do it a little bit faster so I can post it a long time ago. Bur I hope you liked it and have a great day!
