Fraction

A farmer is selling some of his animals.

1.  The farmer sells ¼ of his 72 cows.  Show how to work out how many cows he sell.

I know that 16 x 4 = 64 + 8 = 72    16 + 2  = 18  so I added 4 + 4 which equals 8 so 64 + 8 = 72

18 x 4 = 72 I know the answer is 18 because 18 + 18 = 36  18 + 18 = 36

36 + 36 = 72

60 + 12 = 72

How did you know it is 18 and not 17 or 16.  What make you choose 18.  What is the knowledge behind that.

2. He sells ⅓ of his 45 pigs.  Show how to work out how many pigs he sells.

I know that  13 x 3 = 39 + 6 = 45 I know that 15 x 3 = 45 so one third of 45 will be 15. To check my answer

15 + 15 + 15 = 45

10 + 10 + 10 = 30

5 + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15             15 + 30 = 45

Same here Genevieve.  How did you know it is 15.  

3.   He sells ⅙ of his 84 sheep.  Show how to work out how many sheep he sells.

I know that 15 x 6 = 90 - 6 = 84

14 x 6 = 84 so one sixth would be 14 I know because 14 + 14 + 14 + 14 + 14 +14 =

10 + 10 + 10 + 10 +10 + 10 = 60

6 x 4 = 24                    60 + 24 = 84

My Experience in the pool!!!

I can feel the excitement running through my body. Today was  Room 7’s first time in the swimming pool it was a wet experience. I swam with some of the year 8’s. We did all sorts of things like streamline, star float and also freestyle . I did freestyle with two other girls. I loved the last 4 minutes we had in the pool.   

God Strand

What do you think God wants from you? 
I think that God would want from me is to make sure that nothing bad will happen to anyone. I also think he excepts for who I am and to be myself.

The thing that is stopping me from doing what God desires is nothing. It is nothing because I know if I try my best in everything I do then it might make a difference.

My Description About My Mother.

My mum is one of the best mother that any daughter would ask for, she isn't just a mum she is more like my best friend. I love my mum no matter what, she has a special personality. This poem is dedicated to my mum : Roses are red violets are blue sugar is sweet so are you. If I lose my mum it will be like losing a piece of my heart. My mum is irreplaceable.
