Snowball maths!!!

Hello have you played Snowball Math before?
The reason why we played this game was to practise our box method and multiplication strategies.

This is how you play: 
You get a piece of paper  and write any kind of math question on it but we wrote two-digit times tables (for example  12 x 54 ) then you scrunch it up into a round paper ball. 
Next everyone will throw their scrunched paper ball in the air like a  snowball or a beautiful Bell bird flying in the sky but just faster. Anyway, when it lands on the ground you pick one up but if no paper ball lands next to you then you try and find one or ask someone nicely if they can pass you a spare one. The next thing you do is open your snowball and solve the math question in your book. And that's how you play math snow ball.

 When we  played it my friend and I were really excited and mad because we didn't get to finish the last one.

My Amazing Camp Experience

Camp "Wake up" yelled mum, so I rushed to school, I grabbed my bags and headed off. Minutes later I had arrived and we travelled down to Camp Adair. As soon as we had reached our destination, we all unpacked our bags and we all gathered to announce our cabin groups. My cabin was number 12, "YAY" as I was so happy because I heard Caitlin and my name has been called for the same cabin. So we unpacked our bags and gathered to have morning tea. Once we had finished we got put in our activity group, the members of my group were Caitlin, Xavier, Nicholas, Jope, Rangatiratanga, Kennedy, Nishika and Queenie.  Splash Splash Splash! my group and another group were struggling to walk across the river. We eventually made it across and travelled to the field where the shooting targets were placed. Then we headed off to the bush walk, we all spotted a little hut made out of sticks, we also saw a little camp spot were you can put a fire there.  Next we had lunch, afte...

Olivia Review - by Veronika

Hi readers,  So I am writing about the play my class and I went to at Jean Batten School... lets get started.  The play was about a little girl named Olivia. The start was when she first started school and  her teacher was so mean to her! after that they had breakfast  they were saying and acting that it was yuk so she stood up for her  friends and herself.  She was going to London. The thing i liked was the sliver pom pom how it was suppose to be stars. I thought it was a good idea.

Raisins Record By Alisha.

Hi I'm Alisha and as you can tell by my title I will be telling you about my schools raisins blowing record. So the day before we did the blowing challenge our principle told us we will be getting raisins. That was the day we got raisins but we weren't gonna eat them or play with the box yet. Then the next day in the afternoon we went to go on the main court and we had to meet the kids can people like one girl named Sophie. We were told that we had to break the WORLD RECORD for the LOUDEST whistle blowing with the raisins boxes. The country that we needed to beat was Great Britain and we did just carry on reading. The we were told that we will be on camera and not ordinary camera TV OMG it was so cool. Then we were getting filmed while we were blowing with the boxes then we got to throw our raisins in the air and whenever we get one throw it in the air it was so fun. Plus we got to know that we broke the WORLD RECORD OMG its so cool we beat Great Britain.
