Prototecs

Today for maths I was doing my prototecs and on my first I got 97% which is really good and then on my second I got 100%! I finally got 100% on my prototec. I don't know if this means I go onto stage 8 now. I am really happy that I got 100%.

Paralympics Tasks 

For my reading activity I did one that is were I have a word and then I have to try get as many words as I can out, but the letters have to be the same as the original word. They word I had was 'Paralympian'.  I struggled with this word a little bit. If you do a 2 or 3 letter word you 1 point, if you do a 4 letter word you get 2 points, and if you do a 5 letter or over word you get 5 points. Here are my words. There is one name that I did.

Original word: Paralympian

My words: Man, mail, map, pan, Liam, air, play, nap, rap, ramp.                  

Total points: 13

 Art

This afternoon for school the senior syndicate had many different choices on what they can do. I chose do an art activity. I drew two very simple things. A flower and a dinosaur. I didn't color them in because I liked them without color. They are both very simple, but I like them. Here they are.

 My Prototecs

Kia Ora, today in lock down I had to do school work. At 9am I went on a google meet with my classroom to talk about what my classroom will be doing today. I started off the morning by doing my reading. After I had a break I got into my maths. My maths was to do 2 prototecs, maths buddy tasks, and then 15 minutes on prodigy or sumdog. I think today I did pretty good on my prototec. Here are my prototec results.

 Hitting The Target - Rewritten

For writing in term 2 we started to look at our story telling story which is hitting the target. After we looked at the story we had to write it again in our own way, but we had to keep the main points of the story. 

There was a young man named Felix. He wanted to be the best archer in his country. Felix wanted to be the best so all he did was practice and practice until he hit a bullseye.

One day after he won a competition a short man came up to Felix and started conversation. "You're good but, I know someone better," the short man spoke. "Impossible," Felix replied. "Well, follow me and I shall show you to him." Felix followed the young man. They arrived at a barn. "Follow me."

As they walked Felix looked around. On one side of the barn there were about a hundred archery targets red circles within blue circles. Every target had an arrow stuck perfectly in the center of the bullseye.

The unknown man came out to say hello "Hello, my name is Jeffery," the man spoke. "Hi, I'm Felix," Felix replied. "How do you do it?" Felix asked. "Do what?" Jeffery asked. "How do you get your arrow in the exact center of the bullseye?" "Well," Jeffery started "you do things your way and I do things my way. You see first I shoot the arrow, then I paint the target around". 

Felix looked at him with a confused look. "So your cheating." "Yes, yes I am," Jeffery confessed. "Well that's not very fair," Felix spoke. "Like I said, you do things your way and I do things my way," Jeffery walked away before Felix could reply. He was left there confused and disappointed.
