My collage

At Tamaki college I had to do a collage with heaps of my pictures that I had sketched in photo shop. I thought that it was really hard because you had to go through a really long process of making and putting your picture that your going to sketch on and put it as your background. It was really fun and cool because we had a lot of fun with the teacher over there. She was a fun teacher to do sketching with.

Sad day for everyone

On 28 August Cantik died, she had been suffering from cancer and arthritis. It was so sad for everyone because she had been given euthanasia so that she doesn't die on her own in a lot of pain.

A long time ago in 1994 Wellington Zoo received a Sumatran tiger from Burger's Zoo in the Netherlands. Her name was Cantik. Cantik lived for more than 20 years. People believed that Sumatran tigers only live in the wild until they reached the age 10. But Cantik lived until she was 21 years old.

If the Wellington Zoo had two females they would send one of the females to another zoo that has a male Sumatran tiger so that they could breed. When Sumatran tigers breed they don’t really become extinct because the more cubs they have, the more Sumatrans tigers they get. They are also the smallest five subspecies. The tigers are really amazing at swimming but on land they chase their prey into the water where they can’t get away and are hopeless. There are only three to four hundred Sumatran tigers left in the wild.

I think that Cantik should receive euthanasia because they die peacefully. They could announce that one of Cantik children are their in her place and that it’s really good because she’s not all gone her daughter or son has a little bit of her in him/her. I will miss her so much but she is in a better place where she don’t need to go threw all that pain and dieing on her own.

I think that Cantik would live in peace and she will be really happy because she didn’t really want to go threw all that to die on her own.

Writing fractions in lowest terms

Walt: Write fractions in the lowest terms.

I know how to write fractions in their lowest terms because I know my timetables very well. My strategy to figuring out what's a the simplest form to 5/10 I would use my five times tables to figure out the answer because 5 divide by 5 equals one, so you put one in the numerator so 5 divide by 10 equals two.then you put your answer to that goes in the denominator so all that equals to ⅕. I thought it was challenging because I tried to beat my time but I didn’t. I only beat my score and my medals. You could make it more hard if you add tricky fractions in the game that what makes me think. Next I would like to improve my speed at forming the fractions lowest forms.

My inspirational person

Walt: use our research to write an essay on an inspiring person.

My inspirational person is Edmund Hillary. Edmund Hillary inspires me because he understands people and they understand him but he never showed off when  he became a celebrity.

I admired him because he is really modest. He  used his modest abilities but combined it with his determination to climb Mount Everest but he never wanted to change his mind. When he made it to the top he didn’t really brag about it but he was really proud that he never changed his mind. I am inspired by his determination.

Edmund Hillary also understands people. He has been helping the people since 1961 to make the first Sherpa school. The Himalayans Trust was born then. If it wasn't for Edmund Hillary the trust and the school would had never been built in the Khumjung Village. That is the reason the people in the Khumjung Village trust Edmund Hillary.

He also brought out the best in  his family and friends. Sir Edmund Hillary was one of the best “stay focused persons.” He never like to be off track. If he wanted to do something he won't stop and do something else he would keep going until that is done and then move on.

I picked Sir Edmund Hillary because he is like me I'm modest. But if I am inspired by something I am determined for that thing makes me want to get it. Also I understand people and they understand me.

Maths

Walt: reflection on my basic facts.

In stage 7 for basic facts I got 48% because I was struggling on fraction, decimals and percentages and I really didn’t know some of the maths question. Doing fraction, decimals and percentages are really challenging. They are challenging because when it shows the fraction and you have to turn it into a percentage. I thought that it will be puzzling on the other work on the stage 7 work but the only puzzling bit was the percentage and that. My next aim is to work hard on my percentage, fraction and decimals. Next time I will get them all right and I might get close to an 80% or a 90% so I will be so proud.

Basketball

Walt: write rap/poem

Dribble, Dribble down the court

here I go to get a score,

Make sure you don’t get hit

just make sure you get that swish,

bouncing and bouncing till you

there get the three pointer and we’re

nearly there, protect the ball don’t

let go you're going to give the ball

to the other team get the ball, and

shoot, Slam dunk the ball goes through

everyone’s happy run, run get

another one,

Jump stop don’t stop keep going it’s

34-4 were nearly there and that’s

the score, game times going down

it’s on 10 seconds, I have to get this in to

win if I don’t get it, it’s game over and I'm let down

I could do it nothing to it so shoot,

I get it in another three pointer the crowd

goes wild like the animals are at the zoo,

Practice time everyone comes

dribble through the legs it goes

and out the other side we go,

come on guys we can do it try your

best and do it, we could move to the

grove and we could do anything, so

move, move move

It’s all over we all go home

we won we won it’s the greatest day
