About Me


Reading With PWC and Toitoi

Toitoi

Toitoi is a book that is filled with kiwi kids stories and poems.
The maker of Toitoi is a lady named Charlotte.
The reason why she had made Toitoi is because her kids had said that
reading is boring, so she asked them a if it would be better if kids wrote
book and they said “yes”. So she opened a company  named Toitoi and
picked lots of stories that kids had wrote.


Today PWC (Price waterhouse coopers) came to introduce the new toitoi
book. PWC is a company that is located in Auckland city. They came to our
school today to show us the new Toitoi book and read a little with us.


The names of the PWC people that came are Charlotte, Venice, Courtney,
Bre and Lee First Miss Tofa split us into four groups of seven. My group and
I were in Bre’s group. We readed lots of stories. My favourite one was called
Wild Conditions. It was about a girl and her friend getting kidnaped in a snowing
mouniton by a yite.

I had an exciting time reading with PWC and can’t wait for them to come back
with a new Toitoi book to read with us.

Maths

  1. Cameron and Shane collected stickers from a young age. When they were 15 they had both collected 588. They thought a good way to share their hobby was to share their stickers between themselves and two other friends. How many stickers did each of them receive?
588 + 588 = 1176
1176 ÷ 4 = 294
So all four of them get 294 sticks each.

  1. Sam’s church were fundraising for a trip to Tonga. They held a Fiafia nite raising $75,000. The money was then split between five of the congregation groups. How much money did each group receive?
If 75 ÷ 5 = 15  then 75,000 ÷ 5 = 15,000

  1. At a basketball game each Lakers fan were given a gift bag of Lakers gear worth $170. If there were 340 fans, how much money did the gift bags cost for the organisers?
170 ÷ 340=?
My Answer = 2

  1. At Matheson Bay each person is a allowed a quota of 50 kina a day. During the summer 500 people visited the popular beach to collect kina. How many kina were taken from the sea in the summer?
50 ÷ 500=?
I know that 10 x 50= 500 so I did 500 ÷ 50 and I got my answer 10.

  1. 9393 = 313
  2. 4504 = 112.5
  3. 9393 = 313
  4. 6289 = 697 R8
  5. 2747 = 39.1
  6. 128310 = 128.3
  7. 5124 = 128
