Math T3 W9

Last week for math, our goal was L4: Solve problems with fractions, decimals and ratios using a broad range of strategies. I found adding decimals together quite challenging at first, but I got the hang of it after a while. I did a lot of practise questions, and then I had to create 5 of my own word problems. Here are my problems:

Reading W8 T2

This week for Reading our goal was: Select from a wide range of genre when reading independently. We had to pick 3 articles from kiwi kids news and explain our thoughts on the article and why. Here are the articles I picked and my thoughts on them.

Straw invented to stop Hiccups - (Marketing and sales) I think this is a really good invention because hiccups are really annyoing and hard to stop. The price seemed pretty reasonable and I would defently buy it. It didn' give me much more infomation about.  

Medsafe approves Covid-19 vaccine for over 12-year-olds - (World news/Health) I think that its really cool that younger people can now have vaccine. It said that schools and community hubs will play apart in helping give the vaccine. In New Zealand there are 265,000 children in the 12-15 age bracket. So there would be lots of vaccines to give. I really enjoyed reading this article. 

Swimming NZ to send 7 swimmers to Tokyo Olympics - (Sport) The article was about the 7 New Zealand competiters going to the Toyko olympics. Erika Fairweather a 17-year-old is a contender for the youngest New Zealand athlete at the Olympic Games. This was intresting to read but there wasn't that much infomaion which meant I didn't learn that much. 

What article seems most intresting to you?
