Mrs Tofa is travelling to Australia. She intends to buy cookies for her students in Room 7. A packet of cookies has 12 cookies in it. If Mrs Tofa wants to give her 31 students 3 cookies each, how many packets does she have to buy? 

31 x 3 = 93/12 = 7.75 so she needs to buy 8 packets

What is the difference between the number of students at Ruapotaka school and Glen Innes school?

Swimming explanation

Swimming

Why should we be able to swim? The reason we should be able to swim is that if there is a Tsunami or a flood then we got to be able to swim. Not only if there’s a flood or a tsunami but if you are drowning. Another good thing about learning to swim is that you build body muscle, keep your heart rate up but will release some stress, also helps keep a healthy weight and healthy heart and lungs.

Swimming is a really good sport and will help your body build and stay healthy which is a really good thing and also will give you the knowledge that you need to be a really good swimmer. There are different types of swimming techniques and even though they look different all will help you swim.

Overall, Swimming will not just help you with improving your body muscle it will improve your swimming skills and your ability to swim in case of an emergency. It will also help your body by helping part of your body like the heart, lungs, muscle and will help calm your stress down.

My Weekend

Saturday, I started my weekend off with my morning routine, have a shower, brush my teeth and then I go and eat. After breakfast, my friend named Tui came and picked me up. He and I went on a bike ride around the block then come back to my house. After we came back from our ride my family and I went shopping for some food. Soon after we got back from shopping my friend came to my house again and we played outside with our other friends until we all went home for dinner.


Sunday, Once more started my day off with my morning routine. Then we got ready to go to church. The church started from 11 O’clock to 1 O’clock so most of my day I spent at church. After Church, my family and I went to my Grandma’s house because we had to go and get some lunch that they prepared for us. Then after lunch, we headed home. When we arrived home there was nothing to do so my brothers and I started to play some games till it was time to go to bed.

Having Fun - KiwiCan

Today we had our second Kiwican session of the year. We started the session
off with an energiser. The game we played was called 21. The game that we
played isn't the same as the 21 everyone knows. There were two teams the
boys were in one team and the girls were in the other. At the end of the game
the girls won. 


After playing a very energetic game of 21 we headed on to play our activity.
The activity we played was called Human Bowling.  For this game we had to
go outside. The game was very intense and at the end of the game the boys
won.


We then headed back into our classroom. When we got in we were told
that it was a tie breaker between the Girls and the Boys. To finish it off
and see who would win we played a game called End of the road. The
game was basically General Knowledge Questions and at the end of
the day the girls won. 

We were all happy at the end of the day but some of us felt quite sombre
because Kiwican was over.
