WALT: Adding and Subtract using Decimals (Word Problems)
                                    This week for Maths, My Maths Group is looking at adding and subtracting decimals. Our WALT is adding and subtract using decimals in Word Problems. On the last slide, there was a Create task. This week, our create task was to create a Presentation with 4 word problems on our Own. After creating the task, we have to publish it to our blog with comments about our learning.

The Floundering Project

The Floundering Project
During the entire time we stood and sang waiatas, I was wondering what does flounder look like. I never had really seen what a flounder appeared like.

Previously, this morning Point England School Staff and Students were all getting ready to head down to Wai o Taiki Bay, which is located not far from our School.

12 lucky students volunteered from our School to catch Flounder down at Wai o Taiki Bay for our Flounder Tank. Point England School 's Flounder tank has a total of more than 20 baby flounders. Meaning we have better Waters than Kauri Flats.

A couple or more weeks ago, Kauri Flats School, Nagati Paoa and Our School(Point England School) investigated if we could capture Flounder from our local harbours with students from The Marine Institute of Auckland University and then raise them in captivity at our schools with Mahurangi Technical Institute.

After catching the Flounder, we store them in Tanks and let them grow. Once they are bigger, we are going to release them back in the ocean.

Ratio and Proportions - Word Problems


 For this week, our WALT is : We are learning to explain or show the steps we took to solve each problem. My thoughts on this week's learning is that I thought bit of the word problems were hard and quite easy to figure out. But I think that I now have a better understanding at solving Ratio and Proportion Word Problems now than I was before.

Geometry - Week 7 2017


This week for Maths, We are focusing on Geometry. Our WALT for the Patiki group is Identify and describe 3D shapes. In this presentation, we had an creative Activity, which was to  Build 3 - 4 different 3D shapes using play dough and toothpicks. The only problem while making them was that it was a bit difficult to make them stand on their own.
