MATHs ♦•◘○♣♠☺☻♥ For maths we do cross grouping I am in Miss Bryant’s math class and within the maths class I am in the diamonds. Some of the strategies we have learnt are: fun with fives, compensation, number bonds, multiplying hundreds, compatible numbers, adding in parts, don't subtract add, how many $10 notes, reading and writing numbers, a little bit less a little bit more, multiplying by 10, and lot more. Here are some equations to do either in your head or writing it down.

soil,mulch,gloves,cooking=G2T THURSDAY

//__ Yum yum we were going to be eating pumpkin soup and __// //__ Custard with desert. I was in the gardening group that time it was really fun we went over to the junior side to do some gardening first I started off by putting some mulch around the orchard and we saw a gigantic spider it was hairy all over and it was black but before anyone really saw it was gone after I finished putting mulch around the garden I started clipping this bush stuff with Zoe (my best friend ) but when I was about to clip one I fell in a hole yeah you heard me a hole how weird luckily my ankle wasn’t broken it just ended up having a couple of bruises and scratches. Finally we went to eat our lunch it was so yummy I even had seconds of pumpkin soup but to be honest I didn't really like the desert that much because I didn’t like the raisins in it but I still tried some then it was lunch time and our g2t session was over but don’t worry I’ll be talking to you again very soon. __// //__ WEDNESDAY __//

__// We started off by figuring out what groups were gardening and what groups were cooking well I was a gardening person. Firstly some people went off to get some herbs meanwhile the rest of us were huddled around a big pot of soil with mostly potatoes in it and couple of other plants. we needed to get the potatoes out but we wanted to do this without wasting soil so... we got 2 sacks and made a plus sign with it took lots of strength to tip it out but we did it after that we all got stuck in we started digging around to find some potatoes and we did we found loads of potatoes we started to put the soil back in the pot and the sacks did help but wait there’s more we had another pot of soil to go through. this time I found 2 big potatoes and tinsy winsy potato next 4 of us including me started putting the soil back in the pot and replanting the mother of the plant (I found it) we filled the pot halfway dug a hole and put the potato plant in. we moved onto the next thing and it was involved with CHICKEN MANURE there was a smaller pot of chicken manure (it was so smelly) we all desperately wanted the smell gone so we put sand over the top and that sure worked Mrs. masters asked me to write 'yellow kumara' on a red sign so I did and you know what I got a picture of me holding the sign. Next Iraia and some other people were doing some things with sand and chicken manure. we then went and looked at banana plants and talked a bit about them after that we went down to the big garden and made a long chain of people so we could pass bricks up to where they were meant to be but it started raining so we quickly finished the job then ran to our class room we talked a bit about what we had done then played a simple game (I was in charge cool!!!) finally we went up to the hall to eat our lunch we had curry with the potatoes we had harvest in it too I liked the curry and it was not too spicy for me we also had rice and the for desert a simple sponge kind of dish called lemon delicious pie I kind of liked it but our portion was a bit too small no matter we still got some 2 eat I had lots of fun that day but now I must say goodbye. //__ THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 2010 Today the cooking group made ravioli and a lemon cake I was in the gardening group we did alot of replanting in mini pots we planted time and another herb it was alot of fun we also planted tamirillo plants and named our plants so in the next garden 2 table session we can see how they have improved it was alot of fun. we went to eat our food and I was sitting next to one of my best friends shannon I liked the raviolli but the cheese inside was a bit rich for me but I loved the lemon cake itas really scrummy. __**<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 160%;">WEDNESDAY 27 OCTOBER 2010 **__

__**// Today was a very special and exiting day Stephanie Alexander came to look at what we do at garden 2 table (she invented the garden 2 table programme) me, Bailey and Sophie were the guides and we showed Stephanie and 2 other people around our gardens and in the hall while the others were cooking. we also showed her the pizza oven in ACTION!!! did you know that she was on mastercheif as a guest VIP? I was also gardening and my wonderful mum Robyn came to help (since she had never come before) me, Kyle, Ted and some other people planted things and pulled weeds out but unfortunatly my mum didn't eat with us for lunch we had potatoe and rosmery pizza another pizza,pita breads with filling, a salad and lemon ice-cream it was so delicous then it was time to go and have playtime. //**__

We also did a class project every class got a great big canvas we decided to do a black background with white lettering of some of the streets close to our school.

<span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% blue; display: block; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> Tori the tortoise is green like soft flowing grass she has little turquoise dots all over her. Her glowing silver and dark green swiggles make her look as beautiful as a diamond they cover her body and make her look like a rich powerful queen she also has 2 glass eyes like snakes piercing into your skin she acts royal and strides around with pride not thinking about anyone but herself. In her dreams she falls in love with dazzling princes and dances all night until she wakes up to find she’s still that ordinary tortoise with a make believe dream not a princess although she is very beautiful. Tori was made firstly by planning out how to make a tortoise and then I got my gumboot got 2 blocks of wood stuck them on as her feet then made her shell out of chicken wire. Next I paper mashed Tori about a thousand times until she was as good as she could have been after that I painted her green layer then dotty layer then finally the swiggles. I made the sparkle then stuck Tori’s eyes on. Finally she was ready so I put her up on the stage and left the teachers to do all the presentation things. In the end the finished product was great!!! book review reading / literacy book :pig ♥ boy date:2nd november 2010 author :malorie blackman

pig ♥ boy is about a 13 year old boy who has a terrible heart condition and needs a mircle to save his life. A pioneering doctor has an idea to use a pigs heart instead of a human heart transplant. cameron does not like doing nothing just sitting around and watching people come and go while his life ticks away tic tic tic.I recommend this book for kids aged 9-12 and if you like books with suspence.
