Decomposition


Walt: Use decomposition to solve addition and subtraction.

This week I've learnt how to do decomposition. Decomposition is really interesting because I never knew that it would be so easy. Using subtraction and addition with decomposition is really fast because you get to finish really fast instead of waiting until you figure out the answer. Next I would like to learn negative numbers and positive numbers.


Letter to Mrs Robinson


Dear Mrs Robinson

Thank you for teaching us how to punch and kick like a taekwon-do champion.

I really enjoyed your lessons and what you had taught us in taekwon-do. The taekwon-do move that I really enjoyed was the scissors kick. I also enjoyed the snap kick because it was simple and fast. I really enjoyed kicking and punching our hardest on the pad. All of our lessons we had I really enjoyed them all.

I learnt some moves that I never did before in my life, so thank you for showing me new moves that I never thought of before. I also learnt how to count up to ten in Korean. I really loved that you taught us the tenets of taekwon-do. Using the tenets of taekwon-do showed me how to control myself.

I could use the tenets of taekwon-do to control myself when I need it or I could use the other tenets so that I know what to do when I am in a difficult situation. When I am in a difficult situation and someone tries to grab me I could use the release and self defence that you taught us in taekwon-do. I could use a lot of what I learnt and use them in class but not the kick and punch bit.

Next I will be working on Indomitable spirit because I mostly look down on myself but not my friend. When I find out how to beat it and figure out how to do it I’ll be really good at it.

I really enjoyed your lessons and hope to see you in the further future.

Your sincerely
Mary

Stunt Wheel


Walt: make a stunt wheel.

Stunt wheel

We made a stunt wheel because it was for our topic study on toys this term. Our teacher got the the idea of making a stunt wheel from a New Zealand School Journal. We had to read the book before playing with it. The stunt wheel depends on  wind. When the wind blows the stunt wheel will bounce up and down. When the wheel falls down the wheel will just keep on rolling.
