Week 7 review

This week I learnt about BEDMAS and how it is used. BEDMAS is brackets, index NO.s, division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction. I used that knowledge to do a puzzle which ended up being a butterfly. Also this week I learnt about topic sentences which most of the time is at the start of the sentence least commonly is in the middle of the sentence and sometimes at the end. Topic sentences are what tells you what the paragraph is about.

Week 6

This week I learnt how to correctly use F.A.N.B.O.Y.S and U.W.B.U.S words. Also this week we did a boating and water safety course. We learnt how to safely pull someone in with an emergency rope. We also learnt how to get people onto the boat safely when in was right side up and upside down. We also learnt how to stay together if we all fell out of the boat and the boat had sunk. We learnt how to use flares, emergency beacons and horns. This week was great fun.

Week 5

This week I learnt that Hone Heke (the first chief to sign the treaty) chopped down the flag pole three times because he was angry with the British because they kept taking his land, and the same thing happened everywhere else. This week has been a blast.
