Wolves

Today the teacher read to us a book written and illustrated by Emily Gravest. The book was about Wolves and the life that they live. After the teach read the book to us we had to write what we think about wolves then later research it to see if any of our answer were true.

Kiwi Can Reflection

Today for Kiwi Can we learnt what perseverance meant in a normal life situation. Perseverance means to never give up or get frustrated and keep trying our best. For example if you have something important to do and you don't want to do it you use perseverance by getting up and going even if you don't want to . during a activity in Kiwi Can we used perseverance to keep trying our best and to try not get frustrated because in this activity you had a invisible ball and tried to score it but if the opposing team tags you they get the ball and that is why we used perseverance in that activity.

Exponents

Today for math we have been learning exponents. You can solve them very easy if
you know your times table. For example if your writing 10² then you would write 10 x 10 = 100.
But if it is a cubed question then you would write it like this 10³ 10 x 10 x 10.
