EPIC MATH AND LITERACY!!!

 Kia ora,

This week in Gillstrom Literacy, Me and Sam started creating ideas for our upcoming story about Nathan and Quetholen, Nathan is our Protagonist and Quetholen is our Antagonist which is what we have been looking into implementing into our writing.

This week for maths we have been learning more about inverse Bedmas which is exactly how it sounds it is backwards Bedmas which once you get the right method is actually pretty easy, here is a quick example

3x + 7 = 10

      -7      -7 = 3

  3/3 = 1 which is the answer!

This week the Kapa Haka which I'm in performed in front of my school which was really embarrassing but I felt good once it ended and we have an upcoming performance at the Cultural Festival which is gonna be fun.

The Great Holidays And Epic Work!!!

Kia ora,

For my holiday I did absolutely nothing it was quite boring but I did hang out with my friends more than I usually do. I got to hang with my family more since my Mum got a new job which was nice.

For Math this week I have been doing multiplying and plusing decimals, it was surprisingly easy it definitely looks way harder than it actually is. I struggled at first but as I got into more questions and got the right method it got a lot easier.

Like for instance if you had a question like - 1.13 + 23.4 = 24.53 

Which is just simply 1 + 23 = 24    10 + 40 = 50   50 + 3 = 53 add together and you have your answer!

For literacy, we learned about Protagonists and Antagonists, which basically means the good guys vs the bad guys. We watched a classical film called the Great Train Robbery which was one of the first films ever made which is quite an amazing thing, if you would like to watch it, it is a really good film.

We are in the making of creating a conflict in our story's, me and Sam just finished drawing our characters here is the slide if you are interested in our story,
