A mouthful of MATHS, LITERACY, and ... FRIDAY/FRI-YAY TASKS!!!

Kia ora, hello peoples,

Over the week I have done multiple maths and literacy tasks but I have picked my favourite ones to show you. I am also going to show you my Friday task which I did today.

So first for my maths task, Mr Gillstrom set us a fun and challenging task to do over two days. We first had to fill out a table that had 21 multiplication & division fraction equations to solve. Mr Gillstrom accidently put a subtraction problem in there but I decided to still do it, as the day before we did a similar sheet but with addition & subtraction. My answers looked a bit like this:

After we solved them we had to complete an escape room that Mr Gillstrom designed. It was rather fun but quite challenging. If Mr Gillstrom set another escape room to do I would be happy to give it a go.

Now for literacy, as our focus is the Wizard of Oz we had to write a short story that partly is to do with the Wizard of Oz. By partly I mean that we had to take a chunk of the Wizard of Oz and turn it upside down. As Oz is such a happy place by 'upside down' we had to make the part of the story we chose creepy, like as creepy as we want. Our short story had to be 300 words minimum, and there was no maximum. I made my story 570 words long, here it is,
P.S. it is over all of the following 3 slides:

Creepy right?

And now my Friday task. The task I chose to do was; design an animal enclosure. We could pick any animal we liked as we made sure we put our animal in its habitat where it can survive. There were also a few questions we had to answer, here were the questions with my answers:

• What is similar about the enclosures and what is different? 

The similarities are that the animals are all in a habitat where they can live and survive. Depending on what food they need will change there habitat a lot as they need to be around there diet. Differences are like I said before, if they are a carnivore, herbivore, or any other type of ore, whatsoever they need to be around there diet.

• Why would there need to be differences about for each enclosure? 

Some animals need to live around lots of trees but others may need to be around water or a desert. Also animals need to live in the right temperature for them, otherwise they might not survive.

•  Is it the same for humans?

Animals habitat is completely different to a human's because nature, like it is to humans, is a big part of an animals life. Maybe nature to animals is more important than it is to humans as we humans live in man-made (a house) and animals live in the outdoors.

Anyway, I decided to make a panda's enclosure because my favourite animal is a panda. I made sure it had a stream to drink from with rocks in it so the panda can cross from one side to the other, a lot of trees and bamboo, so the panda has shelter and food, and a grassy area where the panda can play. Here is my drawing:

Have you learnt about fraction addition, subtraction, multiplication or division?

Do you like horror? Have you ever written a creepy story?

If you were to design an animal enclosure what would it be? What is your favourite animal?

See ya later!

Yours sincerely,
