The last day of term 3

 Today is the last day of term 3 :) I will tell you what I did today. First we came into class and marked ourselves off next, went outside to watch the term achievers, then we went back into class and worked on our priorities. And then it was morning tea and I played handball. We then went to Kapa Haka outside on the courts. And after that, we went back to class and worked on our priorities again I worked on maths whizz because I had already finished my priorities. 

After that it was lunch and I went in line to get my ice cream, it was hokey pokey flavoured by the way. I went to watch a netball game that my friends were playing in, it was them versus the teachers, my ice cream started melting down my hand then, it got on my hoodie and shoes so it was very hard for me to eat. Next lunch was over so we went back inside and now i'm writing this.

Pihita Farm

 Kia ora, on the 15th of September 2020 we went on a school trip to a farm. We went on a bus to get there at about 9:30am and came back to school at around 1:00pm-2:20pm. It was really fun, first we split up into different groups and went to see what vehicles they have, they have big tractors, quad bikes and things like that.

After that we went to see a drone that they use to look around the farm, the drone has a camera connected to it and you can see the footage on a phone. After that we got to chase sheep around like farm dogs and it was really fun.

Next, we saw the farm dogs chase the sheep, there were two dogs, one dog was very noisy and liked to bark at the sheep and the other farm dog was quiet. We then walked over to see a dairy cow and watched it get milked or whatever, and we got to eat whipped cream and it was really good. After that we went to go watch how they cut meat but it was disgusting to watch so Te Atawhai and I sat out. Then, we went to look at the traps they use to capture pests. The traps were very very very loud and scary. Lastly we had morning tea 

And went on a bus back to school.  

Pollution

 Describe different forms of pollution

The three major forms of pollution are: water pollution, air pollution and land pollution. Water pollution is when litter ends up in the ocean causing sea animals to mistake litter for food and they usually suffocate or choke. Land pollution is when litter ends up on land, harming farm animals. Air pollution is when gas or chemicals gets released in the air.

Why is pollution dangerous?

Pollution is not only dangerous for animals, humans can be harmed as well. Air pollution is very bad for humans, it makes our air full of bad gas and chemicals that we're not supposed to breathe in. Water pollution is also dangerous for humans because litter is dirty and when litter goes into the water it makes it dirty. Did you know that 5,000 people die a day because they drank dirty water

This is part of my quickwrite :)

Maths

 Rounding decimals to the nearest tenth

Hello, I have been learning how to round decimals to the nearest tenth in my maths workshop. I will be showing you how to do this.

1. Round 34.09 to the nearest tenth  

First, you look at the numbers after the decimal. If the number is 4 and under then you will round it down. But if the number is 5 and over you will round it up.

example: round 564 

the last number is a 4 which means we will be rounding down so the answer would be 560

So if you rounded 34.09 to the nearest tenth it would be 34.1 (there should only be 1 number after the decimal)
