Maths (Quick Write)

What Is problem Solving?

What Is Problem Solving? Well Problem solving is when you use strategies to solve your math equations or using big and small numbers. Math’s happens all around, EG: If you don’t know what flight you're going on and you have to email or ring the them up you have to solve a way to see what has happen to the information they had to send to you that’s pretty much solving a problem or a solution to your Problem here is some of the things that you use solving in.

You use solving at crime scenes, building, air plane tickets, school, sports such as how far you're going to kick the ball. Also Problem solving is Using strategies,Big numbers,Small Numbers,Using critical maths skills and looking for answer you can’t find.

Today for writing we had to write a paragraph tell us about what is Problem solving? And does it only happen in maths?. Maths doesn't all ways happen at school at happens in many places such as a crime scene or building Example: When your building you have to solve how long or how wide the wood should be like 6cm+6cm of wood is 12cm.

NZ Flag DLO

Today the whole school had to vote for a flag. In Room 5 we had to do 4 minutes of reading about the information about the 5 flags and choose which one was your favourite. The one I voted for was the silver fern (Red,white and blue) I chose this flag because it really stands out to me and its part of my culture it also says that the silver fern means bringing all the multi culture people together. In 3 Minutes we had to find a buddy and talk about why we chose that flag, My buddy was Jacob he really liked the silver fern (Black and white) Because it was apart of his culture and the history behind it. In 2 minutes we had find a group of 4 and tell us about why they choose the flag most of the people in my group chose the (Red,White and blue) Silver flag they said is was like the Old New Zealand flag and it represents cultures. In 1 minute we had to make a Collaborative DLO about how to choose a flag and many other things.

Sustain Silent Writing-By Raymond

Story
I looked at the house, wanting to check it out. When I walked there the door opened, I walked inside quietly and asked "Hello is anyone here?" no one replied. I had a look around, the lights turned off and on while I walked closer to the bedroom. Footsteps ran past me, a light shined from a window I could see the door. As I get closer I had a feeling someone was watching me. The door shut and I felt like something was crawling up my leg. I got really scared I had a look at my legs in was just a spider. I would  hate for it to be something like a skeleton arm.I Tried to open the door it wouldn't let me I knew something Was blocking the door, As I turned around all the curtains were pushed both sides of the end. I heard Water running It was a tap. I ask my self that was pretty strange I tried and tried to open the door. It opened some how? I ran out of the room and bolted like the wind back home I said to my self I'm Never going there again!!!

Why is social media blocked at school?

Raymond

Hello Pupils of PBS

I am here to talk about our rights and why we should be allowed to be on social media at school. How would you feel if you weren’t allowed on Facebook at school? Would you be devastated, or make a complaint to the school?

I believe that social media should be allowed at school. First of all, kids should be communicating with other such as friends and family. I think kids should be able to contact manaiakalani schools to see the work they have been doing. About 38% of kids go on social media everyday and also did you know that over 3 billion internet users is about 45% which is worldwide internet users on Social Media.

Imagine all the bored kids who couldn’t talk to their friends, How would you feel? If I could not talk to my friends I would be so depressed. Teachers should see how important this is too students, Facebook could also be use for many things such as showing the world or family members what work we have been doing.

If you don’t allow students to go on social media they would not be able to speak to friends and  family overseas and maybe different schools and here’s an example: if your mum was over seas and your school banned social media or you did not have a phone how would you be able to contact your mum?

I believe that schools should be allowed on social media at school. We will be able to talk and communicate with others. This is my opinion about social media at school.
