AO- Apply simple linear proportions; including ordering fractions.

WALT- Order Mixed Fractions




Self Reflection
One thing that I think I did well was converting the mixed fractions into improper fractions.
My next step would be to be able to order the improper fractions with ease. I don't think I am too far away but I need another worksheet or a separate session.

Finding Fractions of a Whole Number

Self Reflection-

When finding fractions of a whole number, I can do this with ease. My only difficulty is when the number that is being divided is very large (hundreds) or is a number I am not sure of the factor. With these 3 equations, I tried to use an unfamiliar equation.

The warmth of the tropical sun envelops you, the scent of frangipani washes over you, the most pressing decision that you face, should you climb the summit of the islands majestic volcanic peak or explore the  crystal clear turquoise waters and swim with schools of tropical fish. Either way you know you’ll enjoy your day in this tropical paradise we call The Cook Islands.

Uncover more about our people and our history.As modern Pacific people, high-spirited Cook Islanders are a cosmopolitan blend of western influence and ancient Polynesian heritage. Like any true blooded Maori, we enjoy pomp, splendor and big ceremonies with traditional customs and much feasting. Hospitality, smiles and a warm welcome come naturally.

After stopovers from Spanish explorers Alvaro de Mendana sighting Pukapuka in 1595, and Pedro Fernandez de Quiros sighting Rakahanga in 1606, Captain James Cook sighted Manuae in 1773, then subsequently Palmerston, Takutea, Mangaia and Atiu, where Lieutenant Gore landed in 1777. The redoubtable Captain William Bligh first sighted Aitutaki in 1798 and soon after, following the very bloody Mutiny on the Bounty, the buccaneer Fletcher Christian, having seconded Captain Bligh’s very own boat, sailed into Rarotonga.

Fun Facts!

• The Cook Islands are the world’s second largest producer of black pearls.
• While soccer and cricket are widely played all over the Cook Islands, rugby is the most popular and widely played sport.
•   13,095 people live on Rarotonga, making it the most densely populated island of all 15.    
•  The Cook Islands are known for their wood carving, and many young people who live here are taught by older generations of wood carvers how to perfect their skill
•  The currency here is the New Zealand Dollar; however, they also use their own distinctive notes and coins.

Music - E-Portfolio Sample

Achievement objectives:

Communicating and Interpreting:

Level 3:

Prepare and present brief performances of music, using performance skills and techniques.

Level 4:

Prepare, rehearse, and present performance of music, using performance skills

and techniques.

Learning Outcomes:

This term we have been learning how to play some new songs on the keyboard, guitar,
ukulele

and the bucket drums.

We learnt to play the song “Sunflower” using chords on the ukulele.

We also learnt how to read guitar tab and we played “Eye of the Tiger”.

On the keyboard, we had the opportunity to learn to play lots of songs including the
Minecraft theme, the Avengers theme, the Halo theme, the Game of
Thrones theme and many more.

The instrument I enjoy playing the most is… The Saxophone (from out of school)

I liked playing this instrument the most because… Playing the saxophone is relatively easy and when it gets challenging, I have guidance from my tutor.

Next time I would like to learn to play... The full Pink Panther Theme. I can play verse one and verse two but I would like to build on that.

Ayla, you have formed some effective Inquiry questions which has stemmed some good thinking.  You are able to define what an acid and base is and reflect on the differences between the two, well done.
Continue to work on the development of forming hypotheses and reflecting on these honestly, as you have.  That is how we learn the most effectively.
Well done Ayla.

2019 Waipara Camp

The children's blissful cheers of bravery bounce through the air; enlightening the joyful vibe. The atmospheres splendour shade of azure illuminates an emerald green lake. As though a narcoleptic charm was tipped into the aqua, it sits as motionless as a sleeping lion. A thalassic ravine cuts deep into the earth below the water. Eagerly, the courageous children dive deep into its abyss bracing for a harsh impact with an icy temperature.

A clipping breeze ruffles the many limbs from the surrounding trees. Although they are tall, they aren't as towering as a giraffe. A choir of singing birds attempt many notes as though they are practising the chromatic scale.

Student Reflection: In my writing, one of my goals is to Organise paragraphs and writing logically and make meaning clear by subheadings, topic sentences and discourse markers. I did show this goal here because I used an example of a discourse marker describing a noun. In my writing, one of my goals is to know and write a wide variety of text types and forms. I did show this goal here because I was able to focus on producing a description and link my editing process with the text type. My next step is to use a range of editing and proofreading strategies. Teacher Comment: Ayla, yet again I am drawn into your writing.  The way you purposely select vocab to add impact to your writing is amazing and supports creating an image in the readers mind (my mind).  As a next step, you could add some short or one word sentences for impact where appropriate to keep that impact going. - Mrs Hunter
