Leadership, Week 4

 

This task is about leadership. 

Reflection about the year 8 camp .

 Last week, the year 8 went to Camp at Kauaeranga Valley Christian Camp located in Thames. This camp was supposed to help us step up to become better leaders, build our confident and to just help us in general. 

At camp we had to split up into groups of blue kauri , red - coromandel, green - kauaeranga and saving the best for last is YELLOW - Thames. 

My  high light was the concrete night.

I was lucky enough to be in Thames (yellow) Themes was the best team in my eyes I mean we won the concert night just by 1.05. 

We won because we did an act, we acted out the 3 little pigs and instead of little red ridding hood we did the little yellow ridding hood because our team was yellow. 

I video of our play will be bellow this writing

Overall I really enjoyed Year 8 camp because it really helped me get out of my comfort zone.

I would really recommend going to Kauaeranga Valley Christian Camp because it is AMAZING!

The video from the concert will not be on until later.

Mars - Inquiry Activity

 

This presentation, is sort of like the Earth one that we did last week, but instead of Earth we are learning about Mars, if you think Earth is cool, then you should check out Mars, it has lots of interesting facts to learn about, and the best part is....I didn't even know half of these!!.

We are learning to find equivalent fractions and improper fractions

Show your working to some of these

What is 1/4 of 20?  5

What is ¼ of 8? 2

What is ⅓ of 6? 2

What is 2/6 of 12? 4 

What is ¼ of 20? 5 

What is 1/10 of 20 2

What is ⅔ of 30? 20 

What is ⅕ of 25? 5 

What is ½ of ⅓ ? 1/6

What is ⅓ of ⅓ ? 1/9

What is 4/8 the same as? 8/16 

What is ⅖ the same as? 4/10 

What is 10/30 the same as? 20/60

What is 25/50 the same as? 50/100

What is 25/25 the same as? 50/50 

Show your working for some of these!

½ + 3/4 = 2/4 + ¾ = 5/4  

2/6 + ⅔ = 2/6 + 4/6 = 6/6

⅕ + 2/10 =  2/10 + 2/10 = 4/20 

2/6 + 4/12 = 4/12 + 4/12 = 8 / 24
