Handshakes

Problem Solving

LI: To use my number knowledge to help me choose the best strategy to solve this problem

Work with a friend to solve this problem from the transum website. Once you have done this you will need to make a screen recording to show your thinking.

http://www.transum.org/Software/SW/Starter_of_the_day/starter_November8.ASP\

Which means that the answer is 351

Explain:

There are 27  students in room 9, and if 2 students shook hands with each other that would relate to 1 handshake. So if 3 students shook hands that would calculate up to 3 handshakes and you keep going, the answer would be 351.

Answer: 351

This is a maths problem solving activity that Asmah, Kyra and I have done. It was to calculate how many handshakes will there be with 27 students in Room 9. Asmah, Kyra and I have worked collaboratively.

Rapids

Rapids

LI: To identify the rhyme in the poem

At the early day of spring
Beyond forest where nightingale will sing
Beyond castle of a ghost of forest king
The great river started as a lively spring

The river in tributaries grew
Pushing it way through
Carving canyons and valleys too
So strong on very canvas of earth it drew

But soon this awesome run turns into mild jog
The river winds disappearing somewhere in a fog
It turns into a large bog
Barely strong enough to push a log

The swamp is vital to ecology
And it’s secretive and full of majesty
But I miss river’s intensity
On my soul it left enchantment and history

I admire its beauty
As I watch I feel something eerie
And I think I hope to use that history
To change the very momentum of chaos and biology

Patrycjusz Kopec

1. What language features can you identify in the poem? List examples of each language feature you identify.

• Rhyme

2. Highlight the rhyming words in yellow?

3. Write out the dictionary meanings of:

• majesty: Supreme authority or power.
• intensity: Exceptionally great concentration, power, or force.
• eerie: Strange and frightening.

4. Describe the journey of the rapids?

The Rapid’s journey started on spring. It was flowing really, really fast and then in seconds it started to flow super slow because of the wind wasn't blowing any more.

This is my poetry that I have done about rapids with my friend, Asmah. We had to identify all of the language features in the poem.

He had to find the right place to put the bought but instead of reversing the boat into the water he drove his car into the monsters mouth and made the car get stuck in the monsters teeth. bob was so lucky his friends were there with him because if they weren't he would be stuck in the monsters mouth and would of drowned.

My Holiday

In the holidays I went to the movies with my friends isabella and chloe. We had to leave at 11:00. When we got there we had to go and bye our tickets and also by our food. We bought our food at Pak n save. We got Chocolate, Lollies, Chips, drink and popcorn. Then we had to by our ticket. Our ticket was free because my friend had a VIP card. That was really cool because we also got to sit in the big comfortable chairs. The movie we chose to watch was The Mortal Instruments. I thought we were going to watch the smurfs bet we didn't we watched The Mortal Instruments.  Our movie didn't start untill 12:40. We didn't want to wait at the movies so we went for a walk and we bought a ice-cream. We checked the time and it was 11:50 so we thought we should go and wait in the movies. We walked up to the counter and we gave her our tickets. When we walked in there There were people giving away free paddle pops. We said yes and sat in the movies waiting for the movie to start and we were eating our paddle pops. My friend Chloe didn't eat her's so then when the movie was finished her paddle pop was all melted. The Mortal instruments were about Demans, Vampires, Bad guys, Good guys and Angels. My friend Chloe was scared so she huged her chocolate bar. I wasn't scared I just got a big shock. After the movie we walked out and then we got another paddle pop. We were really hungry so we got something to eat at the food coart. It was full of people. I had Mc Donalds, My friend Isabella had Butter chicken and my friend Chloe had Oporto. After that we had to wait for our ride and go home. I had a really, really fun,great holiday with my FRIENDS.

The Rise Of Mount Tongariro

The Rise Of Mount Tongariro.

New Zealand's Mount Tongariro has roared back to life after 150 years asleep. Parts of the North Island spreading as far as Napier, Taupo and Wanganui have been covered with thick ash. Flights to Napier have been delayed and pilots have been told not to fly aeroplanes near Mt Tongariro because of the smoke.

I am standing in the town where Mount Tongariro has erupted. The people here said that they were so terrified they thought they were going to die. All they could hear was big crashing noises. Residents say their hearts were beating so fast they almost had heart attacks. Babies were crying, children were screaming, dog’s barking, cats hissing and many other animals making their terrified noises. Locals report that the eruption started around 11:50 pm, close to midnight.

Farmers are worried about their water and food supplies, as water and food for animals are covered in ash. Ponds and river seem to be covered in a thin layer of what appears to be paint. People were seeking shelter as lava and boulders came spurting out of the top of the  enormous giant.

Following last nights eruption, local people woke up to find the ground covered in a thick layers of ash. Flights have been cancelled, roads and tracks have been closed. people now face a big clean up after this eruption has taken place.

At first people did not heed the warnings and didn't take it seriously. Then at 11:50 PM on Monday 21 November, Mt Tongariro took everyone by surprise by unleashing ash, smoke and boulders towards houses, farming lands and ponds. People were regretting not taking the warning seriously. Volcanologists say that the eruption was just a one of event, worst case scenario is that this is the beginning of a bigger and terrible eruption.

People are not sure when the next eruption will take place. They have been told that if they are caught in ash fall, cover your face, seek shelter, protect eyes with goggles. Don’t wear contact lenses however if you need to make sure you wear goggles as well. We can’t stop mother nature but we can take steps to protect our eyesight.
