media type="custom" key="10505522"My name is Ryan and this is my wikipage. I have 2 cats called Larney & Tiger. I have 2 axolotls called Bono & Angus. I have 1 puppy called Karley she is a bichon frise and she is 1 year old.I really like being in room 1 because it is a really cool classroom with cash flow = $$$ not real money though.The stuff in room 1 is really easy when I thought it was going to be real hard.I have Got $56100 cashflow which is alot of cashflow.My favourite colours are green, red, yellow and blue.I like playing on my Ipod because if there is nothing to do I could just play on my Ipod for as long as I want.My favourite sport is swimming.My favourite movie is Despicable Me.I am a year 6 and being a year 6 is becoming real awesome because the year 6's do all the responsible jobs to help the school.My favourite pet is a puppy because they are really cute.The most responsible jobs in the school are p.a.l.s, yellow shirts and ict helpers.My favourite food are apples because they are really juicy.My favourite drink is the frozen raspberry fanta at McDonalds because it is just like the normal raspberry except it is frozen and I also like lemonade.Now I will tell you about my learning this year.For maths we have been learning about fractions.We have been working on a type of newspaper called Extra and it has lots of hard stuff in it like a quiz.We have also been making title pages for some of our books like our reading and languages book and our draft writing book and our inquiry book and our maths book and a title page for fractions but we don't have a fractions book though.For reading we have been looking at explanations and what goes in a good explanation.For term 1's topic we are learning about keeping ourselves safe and all the different types of safety like road safety, bike safety and fire safety.We have been learning about explanations and what goes in a good explanation and we are starting to wright our own explanations.For maths my group has been learning how to solve subtraction problems by equal additions that turn one number into a tidy number e.g 115 - 78 = 37 because you would add 2 onto 78 and 115 so it would make 117 - 80 which equals 37.For multiplication my group has been looking at proportional adjustments for example if I had 14x6 I would halve the fourteen to make 7 and double the 6 to make 12 so you would go 7x12 = 84 so the answer is 84.We have also been looking at compensation for example if I had 4x68 I would round 68 to the nearest tidy number which is 70 so I would go 4x70 = 280 then I would go 4x2 = 8 then I would go 280-8 = 272 so the answer is 272.My maths group has also been looking at scaling for example a real car is 5m long and the model car is 20x smaller so first you need to know how many centimetres in a metre which is 100 then you would go 5 x 100 = 500 then divide 500 by 20 which equals 25 so the answer is 25cm or 0.25.We have also been looking at how to multiply multi digit numbers for example 56 x 3 3.First you would go 50 x 30 which equals 1500 then go 50 x 3 which equals 150 then go 6 x 30 which equals 180 then go 6 x 3 which equals 18 then add up all of the answers which equals 1848 so 1848 is your answer.We have also been looking at multiplying fractions for example 5/7 x 4.First you would go 5 x 4 = 20 then add the 7 at the bottom so it would be 20/7 then figure out the closest multiple of 7 which is 14 then you would divide 14 by 7 which equals 2 then go 14 plus what equals 20 which is 6 so the answer is 2 6/7.For writing this term we are writing our own mystery stories but it is really hard for me.We have also been looking at solving multiplication and division problems using written algorithms.Our term 3 topic is based on the Rugby World Cup and our school fair that we are having this term.We are also learning how to write a play and what goes in a good play.For maths this term we are looking at fractions and decimals.My group has been looking at subtracting decimals using tidy numbers.For example18.36 - 6.7.First I would go 18.36 - 7 = 11.36.Then I would have to plus 0.3 because I had to plus 0.3 from 6.7 to get to 7.Then I have to go 11.36 + 0.3 which equals 11.66.We have also been looking at multiplying fractions.For example 1/3 x 3/8 so first you would multiply the numerators so 1 x 3 = 3 so 3 is the numerator.Then you would multiply the denomenators so 3 x 8 = 24 so 24 is the denomenator so the answer is 3/24.We have also created our own flags for New Zealand.Each colour you used had to have a purpose.For example if you put silver on your flag it could mean about the silver fern.If you drew a kiwi it could mean that kiwi's are only found in New Zealand.On Tuesday the 23rd my maths group learnt how to add decimals.For example if you had a question like 43.88 + ? = 83.75 first you would figure out what the closest tidy number is to the first decimal so it would be 49 and you would plus 0.12.Then you would figure out 44 + ? = 83 and that would be 39 and then you would add 0.75 to 83 to get 83.75 then you need to plus 39,0.12 and 0.75 which equals 39.87.On Monday the 29th of August we learnt how to do different types of movements in dance including sinking,hopping,wobbling,jumping and hovering. Our term 4 topic is how learning spaces have changed over time.We have watched some videos about what school was like back in the older days.This term we have been working on a website called xtramath.I am really looking forward to camp but the only thing I dont really want to do is search and rescue. This is a mystery story I wrote in term 2 and it is called the missing bike.On friday paul rides his bike from school.But he felt really tired so he went as fast as he could back home.Then he went into the shed to put his bike away for the race on sunday.When he woke up on Saturday morning he heard a strange noise coming from the shed.He went down to the shed feeling a bit worried because he thought something happened with his bike.As soon as he got to the shed where his bike was he was right.He realised his bike was gone completely.Then he went back upstairs and went to the phone to call his friend to help him get his bike.Then peter came to his house to help him then suddenly they found a trail of footprints.Then they followed the dark green footprints to the house of the robber.But they were to scared to knock on the door so they sneaked to the shed but the shed door was locked so they grabbed a ladder and looked through the window and they were really suprised because there wasn't just one bike, there were heaps of bikes.Then Whoosh, he went as fast as a cheetah to his house to ring the police.Then the police arrested the robber then he found a key in his pocket and unlocked the door. Then Paul tells the police return the other bikes to the other children. Then Paul's bright hair swished in the wind while he went to his house to get ready for the race on sunday.
