Code Cracker Brain Teaser - Maths

 Today for maths we did a brain teaser which was a code cracker. In this we had to decode all the numbers using a set of clues. We also had to screencastify this, screencastify is the way we record videos of our self doing things. This brain teaser was challenging because the video would only record for 5 minutes which means I figured it out in five minutes. The answer is 64792!!

Statistics - Maths Strand

For maths recently we have been doing statistics for maths strand and we have done a few different types of charts. Today for maths strand we used data we had collected from other classrooms or even our own homeroom. I collected data from my own homeroom on a tally chart. Then we turned it into a bar graph in our maths book. After that we turned into a graph on our Chromebooks using google sheets, we made a bar graph, and a pie chart.

End of year reflections 2020

 This year for school it started off quite good but then Covid-19 started getting worse and we had to go into lock down and stay home for maybe three months, we did school using google meets this also meant we had more time without school and reading was my favourite subject over lock down. This is because during reading we read a chapter of harry potter and the philosophers stone and did a kahoot about it each day. The next big event over the year was definitely when we needed to use sanitizer everyday when we entered and exited school. Then we had 3 days of camp during this we did animal survival where we learnt about our native animals there was also swimming zip lines trampolines and even mini golf!!! Later in the school year (term 4, recently) we had top team! At top team the year 0-3's did their's in the morning and the year 4-6's had theirs in the afternoon I am a year five so I was with the year 4-6's. We did nine different activities and there was 18 groups, as you can probably guess there was two teams at a challenge.

Top Team 2020

Lats week on friday we had top team. For top team we got into I think 18 different teams, this wasn't the whole school it was separated by year 0-3 first and then year 4-6 last. There was a bunch of challenges and my favourite was the one where you throw the gumboot at the target. Overall top team was fun challenging and very tiring.
