using equal additions/using place value

Make an explain everything on the i pad about how to use this strategy.

586+156=

So you make 586 in 500, 80,6, then you do the same to the other side 100, 50, 6.

Then you add the hundreds together and makes 600.

Then you add the tens together and makes 130.

Then you add the ones together and makes 12.

Then you add all the numbers together that makes 742.

Write a word problem to show when this would be a good strategy to use.

Bob had a pack of 1000 jelly beans and Jimmy want some of Bob jelly bean some jelly beans so Bob was a bit greedy so he gave Jimmy 349 jelly beans how much jelly beans does Bob have left??? 1000-300=700 700-40=760 760-9=751

Production Journey Through The Legends

Reflection for the Production Journey Through The Legends

Something I was pleased with the music because it got a good beat in the crowd.

I really enjoyed learning the fin shaking because it gave the crowd a good laugh.

Something I found hard was my line because I had to slow down all the time well sometimes.

Something that made me think was the baby whale and the other whales.

Something I want to get better at is getting to the fount of the stage.

My Favorite part of the production was the smoke when the whales turn to hills.

My best bit of feedback for the production was from mum. She said to me that “The effects were great”

day 1

Dear Diary, let me introduce myself. My name is James and my role in the production is a shark So far room 18 and some of room 5 and 6 so we got told what we were yes I'm a shark I thought to myself. I look at my script great “we love watching the fighting amongst the human’s some of the tribes on the waka are fierce towards each others whereas than us sharks”.

Day 2

I got in my line for the sharks it when in this order me Traylan, Camron ,Israel, liam,Tyler,Rory,Camden. I sometimes need to slow down my lines and sometimes  a bit louder but I think I'm loud enough.

Day 3

Today I had to start moving around with talking at the same time. but then I got told I had to

keep my head facing the crowd. So I did that and then they said it was perfect .

Day 4

I’m starting to be creeped out about going on stage and performing in front of a whole lot of everyone's parents well most of them.

Day 5 27/8/1014

Today we had our first time on the stage with an actual ordinance the other part of school and tonight we are performed.

Day 6 3/9/14

Today I, played Israel too. His line “I don’t know what they're fighting about but… at least there leaving us alone.

Day 7 4/10/14

Today was our last night performing on stage. I’m kind of sad, 1st no more lollies, 2nd no more big stage.

Player of the Tournament

Last Saturday it was my soccer Tournament and I scored 3 goals. I scored 2 goals in defense. 1 goal in mid field and I tripped up a player when he was about score in the 2nd game. And then someone from my team came over and said "why did you do that!" and I replied "at lest I stop him from scoring".

Go-kart story

Go ⬌ karts

It was my birthday and my Mum had given me a ticket to the paintball go-karts. I walked up to a go-kart that looked fast then hopped in.

Then a guy came up behind my go-kart.

He pulled a cord like a lawn mowers cord he told me not to put my foot on the pedal until the guy wave the flag. Once everyone was in their go-karts the cords were all pulled.

Then the flag went down the kart in front ZOOMED off in a cloud of dust.

Then I race off after him after all the karts had gone a couple of people push a log onto the track for a hard turn and then after they wet the track part after the log.

When I came up to the log I pushed down brake hard as then turn.

But… I did not notice the wet part on the ground.

Great I thought to myself as I span round and round.

I put my foot on the brake as far back as it could go. Then I got back in control then the four other kart driver box me in I was gonna jump onto one of the karts but then one of the go karts had a problem. He stop and I got out off the box.

I past the kart in front the kart who I past speeded up to me and gave me a nudge on the bumper it was like a bit more speed then. I cross the finish line with a drift. First place I thought (even though it wasn’t a race).
