Multiplication Strategies

My Reflection

I have been learning to use the doubling &  halving strategy , Place value  & compensation . 

        I found the doubling and halving strategy easy because i knew what to do.

I found the place value  strategy easy because i remembered what to do .

I found the compensation strategy hard but in the end i did it !

My next step is to listen to the compensation strategy better!

Kaimanawa horses

introduction

Kia ora  i’m olivia and i’m here to talk to you about the kaimanawa horses. did you know wild horses have inhabited the central North Island since the 1870s. WOW  thats a long time.

Part 1

Pressure from land development [which is caused by us]  increases competition with the activities of people  hunting and most things  we do  drives down the number of wild horses and now the Kaimanawa horses are on the edge of extinction .

Part 2

Here is another sad thing  All the Kaimanawa horses that are rounded up in the muster that do not get purchased will sadly be slaughtered, this is what we want to prevent.

Part 3

did you know Horses get hunted especially if they are cream , white or have silver manes.If you want to help you can adopt  kaimanawa horses at farms where they are trained to obey us !!!

Conclusion

Well this is my conclusion I hoped I have convinced  you guys  in anyway to  help the Kaimanawa horses and BYE !!!

Reflection

I found it tricky to find out facts for my speech because when I try looking up sites for my speech there was hardly any sites I found it hard to put my speech together but in the end I did a good speech.

My Reflection 

I was learning to under stand the impact of characters in a story. One thing that worked for me was   the sequencing the changes in jess each chapter one thing I could do better was write more faster overall I think I did a good job on writing about Leslie.

Comparing characters

I was learning to compare characters. I was comparing Jess & Leslie from the book bridge to Terabithia I found it easy because I could think of lots of words to explain Jess & Leslie one was (for Jess) that he liked to draw.

making and breaking (20)

I was learning that numbers can be made and broken up in a number of different ways.

*I found it interesting because I did not know you could not make so many ways to make the number (20). I think I should ask for a bigger number e.g (100)Next time I am going to try and use a pattern.

Kennings Poem

 I was learning how to write a kennings poem I found it easy to think of words for my kennings poem. I felt great because I was listening to what the teacher had to say and I did it right on my first try . Next time I  should ask a teacher to make it harder for me.

Did You Ever Poem

I was learning how to write a did you ever poem.I found it hard to remember what a noun & a verb  was. I felt confused because I was not listening to what the teacher was saying. Next time I  should listen to the teacher and not mess around on the mat.
