Story scavenger hunt



This is one of my reading can do's I worked on last week. This one is called the "Story scavenger hunt". I had to search up the facts in the book "Fantastic Mr. Fox" by Roald Dahl", like words that start with the letter M and stuff like that.

Grand palace Bangkok



My partner Fifita and I have been searching up the Grand palace of Bangkok. We both learned a lot about this landmark. What I found surprising was that they first built the palace entirely out of wood, then later got bit and parts from a destroyed city. This place is really interesting to learn about. I hope you enjoy reading this.

Choosing the NZ flag

LI: To make an informal choice
Today we were making decisions about these two flags, if we wanted to change it or leave it. It was a really tough choice for me because I know that in WW1 all the soldiers wore the flag on their uniform and it would be disrespectful if we changed it. But, others wanted to change it because it looks too similar to the Australian one, and we have already paid for it, no why waste the money. One of my reasons why we should change the flag because it is a new generation, also, really cool. That is just my opinion. But I would like it to stay the same.

Maths games #4

This week I have done one of my maths games off the task board. This game was called " Place Value quiz". Like all the other place value games I have played, this one is different because it asks you about units (units is the same thing as ones) This will help you if your really good with place value and want a challenge. My score above was when I did quiz B and A. The one I found hard was quiz C, I got one question wrong. Give this a try and click here.

Great Mosque of Herat




This week we have searched about the Great Mosque of Herat. My partner was Sa Kae. We both learned a lot about this place, and I think you might too. Have a look and see if you learn something new.
