For this weeks session we learned to use knifes when cutting fruits. For this weeks session we learned to use knifes when cutting fruits. To cut the oranges and the kiwi fruit, we cut the ends off, and then we started peeling the skin of with our knifes. After that we diced the kiwi fruit into pieces and we put them into a bowl. We then started cutting the oranges into pieces and then we put them into the bowl. For the grapes we just cut them in half and we put those into the bowl as well. After that we distributed the fruits equally into three cups, we then added yougurt to them and we started eating them. They were delicious.

My Ancestor Poem

LI:  to write a poem that describes our ancestors.

  

We created a poem about what our ancestors gifted us, what they did for us to be here. We used a poem planner to help us create the poem we needed. It also provided sentence starters in case we were stuck. After that we created a DLO and copy & pasted our poem onto that DLO. We wrote our poems mostly about our culture, land, cultural foods, or anything passed down from our ancestors.

Maths Challenge #2

LI: to find the most efficient strategy to solve the math's problem.

For the maths challenge for this week we had to do a lot of multiplication and skip counting, so the question was for every hour they get 3 fish, they also had one extra fish, so in a hour they'd get 2 fish, in two hours they'd get 5 fish, and in 3 hours they'd get 8 and so on.
