##$%WEEK 9%$##

Week nine has been a very fun week. I have learnt how to divide fractions using *reciprocals i have learnt that all you have to do is make the fraction on the end of the question into a reciprocal then just use the same method as multiplying fractions then you have an answer.

I also learnt how to make the best mince I have ever tasted. All I used was 3/4 cup of water, 500g of mince and a taco seasoning pack. First I added the mince to a element at medium heat mixed it around till no red was left then I added the water and taco seasoning, left it to simmer for 10 minutes, Lastly serve the best mince ever and eat.

I have also learnt to use ratio ratio I found quite easy it is basically just a comparison of two numbers for example: There is a school bus with 15 students 8 are girls write the ratio of boys and girls. The answer: 8:7 as you can see this is just a way of comparing.

Me and the other year eights had the privilege of making our cafe in food tech. In this task we had to learn how to make a dish we then invited family or friends to come and feast upon our meals. The dish I created was a big plate of wraps I used the recipe above to make our mince then just made some toppings.

That has been my week nine learning reflection.




*A reciprocal is a fraction that is flipped upside down or in other words has the denominator and numerator swapped.

((%%$$ WEEK 6 $$%%))

I have learnt a lot in maths I have been doing revision on how to work out problems involving fractions I learnt a real easy way to find the biggest fraction. How I do it is that I make the fraction into a decimal an easy way I learnt is that if the fraction is 5/8 you would divide 5 by 8 so an easier way is to divide the denominator by the numerator. I also have learnt to use an asterisk in my pieces of writing An *asterisk is a symbol that looks like this * you use it to normally describe a word normally at the bottom of a piece of writing.



















The definition of an asterisk is a symbol that is a six pointed star that is most often used to denote an absence or omission of information, or to refer a reader to a notation.

(:@@!!Week 3!!@@:)

This is a reflection on week three of term two. in this week I have learnt many things. In algebra I learnt back tracking which was a personal goal I also learnt how in algebra you do not use division and multiplication instead you use alternative options.

 I also learnt in food how to make a pizza and in my eyes I think it was perfect. We also made in our first session toast roll ups and dip sticks we used many filling for our toast roll ups I learnt that creamed corn is not that bad. Some friends and I made up a team for the EPro8 challenge which is going to be held next week. 

I also started my inquiry which is on a execution camp in world war ll it was call Belzec it was the death place of over 400,000 people. No one survived this camp. When the Germans were afraid of losing the war they tried to cover up the fact of how they were killing so many Jews and gypsies by trying to make it into a farm a innocent looking farm. This was a failed attempt to cover it up. I am starting on my model of this death camp and hope to complete it with great looks.

BYE FOR NOW!!!

Week 2 Term 2 !!!

I have learnt many things concerning maths i have learnt all about expressions and equations  i learnt that a expression is a shortened version of a equation in a equation you use multiplication and division symbols but in expressions you do not you write them differently, shorter. I also learnt how to make sherbet in science using things we learnt about acids and basses and neutrals from last week; I learnt that the acids in sherbet neutralize when touched by water or sliver which causes the fizzing. I also learnt more on how to use nouns properly and what kinds there are.

Term 2 First Week+Goals !!!

In the first week back at school I have learnt many things. Firstly in science we learnt about acids, basses and neutrals. We also learnt how when a acid combines with a base it becomes a neutral. We did a test to test our a ability in trying to find out if it was a acid or a base by just touching smelling and tasting our group scored 100%. we then put our knowledge to the test and had some fun making bath bombs. I also learnt a lot about different nouns and how to acknowledge them. 

Term 1 reflection !!!!

Term one has been a great term I revised a lot of stuff and learnt some new tricks with division. Did you know to find out if a number is divisible by nine you can do this easy trick where if the number was 81 for example, then you would go 1+8=9 so it is divisible by 9. It also works if it is 99 because 9+9=18 but 18 is divisible by two to equal nine so it still works weird but easy. we also learnt loads of things in science and the football season started. we finished sewing where we made our Jerseys which was a new thing for me. One of the best things was becoming a year eight. Term one has been an exiting term filled with lots of activities.

Week 10

This week has been packed with loads of different things. Through out this week I learnt many different things. In french we learnt all the dates of the month from January all the way to December. We also learnt that there is a village in France that loves New Zealanders. Because during world war two they were boxed in by the Germans then a small rifle brigade climbed over the wall and saved the village. Then in science we learnt about solids, liquids and gasses. then we learnt how to make salt water turn into clear water. We even made slime. Then on Friday I participated in the W.I.M S football trials. Then to finish off the week the whole school was involved with the inter house summer games I supported our house in softball where we went undefeated.
