What I learnt today in Religious Education

Today during Religious Education I learnt that Jesus is the good news.

He came as a human being to show us who God is.

A Strategie I learnt in Maths

This week during Maths I have been learning to use tidy numbers to solve mathematical problems.

Tidy numbers are numbers that end with 0.

Here is a example.

84 + ? = 104

I then add 6 to 84 = 90

90 + 10 = 100

add 4 = 104

6 + 10 + 4 = ?

6 + 4 = 10 + 10 = 20

Collage

This is a collage of me that I made using cardboard paper.

Court issue

Should rough games be acceptable in the court or not acceptable.

Students of St Pius X Catholic School constantly play rough games in the court. The court is not a place where students should get hurt by the rough games that are played around them.

Firstly, there are too many games that are played in the courts, that causes confusion and frustration. Such as Netball, Touch, Howl, Volley-ball, Bull-rush and King-ball. I find that the constant rough games really annoying. There are balls that are thrown around and could hit anybody.

Secondly there are a few netball girls that are practicing which gets annoying for them too.

Thirdly if someone gets hit by any ball, things could turn into arguments or fights.

The students who play Touch should play on the field. Therefore it’s a much safer area for them to play at.

In conclusion, the students that play roughly should be aware and considerate of those who are around them. Rough games should not be acceptable and should stop right now.

Buoyancy

In Integrated Studies we are learning about Buoyancy which is sinking and floating. Sinking is when a objects goes under the surface. Floating is when a object stays above the surface. Objects that float is lighter than the water. Objects that sink is heavier than the water.

We had a experiment that related to our topic. Mrs Tui filled a huge tub full of water and got objects for us to throw in, and see if that object either sinks or floats.

This is a picture of our experiment!

What I've learnt in Maths

In Maths I've learnt easier and faster strategies to solve equations and problems.
e.g. Step 1. 9 X 7 =
Step 2. 10 X 7 = 70
Step 3. 70 - 7 = 63

I enjoy doing Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

Now that I've learnt many strategies I am hoping that my levels will change and that I make progress.

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

During Religious Education we've been talking and learning about the Holy Spirit and his descend to the Apostles on Pentecost Day.

The Holy Spirit gave the Apostles warmth, strength and courage to continue to preach the Good News of Jesus. They spoke in different languages and were understood by many.

Today we are Jesus' Apostles, we need to continue to proclaim the Kingdom of God.
