My lost story

                             


        My lost story!!!
On my 9th birthday my dad, Ashley, Alyssa (my cousin) and me.  We all went to hamuwanna zoo, I was very excited because we were all going on the one hour horse ride. We put on our helmets and started to ride.

I was so excited because we were Riding down to the sunny beach on the horses. But first we had to go into an orchard, me and Alyssa went a different way than the others and we did not notice but then it got really really quiet then I noticed I tried to tell Alyssa but she would not listen because she was daydreaming.

I started to panic then Alyssa finally listens to me then we see the other horses we felt relieved then we come back into the herd “where have you been” said dad “We had a big adventure” I say both looking at each other smiling.  

My reflection
I learnt to add paragraphs to my writing  

Visual dictionary

My summarizing about polar bears

Summarizing - Polar Bears: Surviving in the Arctic

                  I have been learning to summarizing about polar bears surviving in the arctic   

The main idea of this text is
about how polar bears hunt for their prey in the arctic.  


One example of supporting detail is
They use their acute sense of smell to smell a dead animal from 20 km away


Another example of supporting detail is
Polar bears hunt on sea ice on the edge of the land

Finally it is clear that the main idea is
That polar bears can hunt on the sea ice on the edge of the land



because
there way they hunt their food

 
The main idea of this text is
About how polar bears move on the sea ice in the arctic  


One example of supporting detail is   
They move very very fast and jump from one patch of sea ice to sea ice


Another example of supporting detail is  
They have rough pads on the soles of there feet and have long hair between their toes


Finally it is clear that the main idea is that  
Polar bears can move on the ice because of their feet

The main idea of this text is
How polar bears make their den



One example of supporting detail is
In early winter all polar bears need to find a place to stay to make sure they are sheltered from heavy wind


  
Another example of supporting detail is
Polar bears use their huge claws to dig a hole into a snow lump so they don’t get cold


Finally it is clear that the main idea is
About how polar bears make their den


Because
Of their sharp claws   
The main idea of this text is
How polar bears stay warm in winter


One example of supporting detail is
Pregnant polar bears spend most of the winter in their den so then when the cubs are born the will not freeze

Another example of supporting detail is
When winter ends every polar bears leave their den


Finally it is clear that the main idea is
That polar bears can stay warm

My math strategys

This strategy is called tidy numbers.
What you need to do is if you get number like this 29+21 you need to add on 1 to 29 and - 1 on 21 which makes 30 instead of 29 and 20 instead of 21 so that make 20+30=50


This is called adding ten and 1s
If you had 29+21 you have 20+20=40 9+1=10 and 40+10=50

Color the spinner

At the start of the year we did a math activity it was called color the spinner what we had to do is there was a circle with 8 columns in it and then it said you need to color the spinner mostly blue color the spinner least yellow and color the same green and red. And then when you color in the spinner then you have to answer some questions when you are done you cheek with another person to see if you were right or wrong.    

My color the spinner
I did three of my spinner columns blue 2 of the columns red and green and 1 of the columns yellow.
Then when I answered the questions but I can't remember the questions because it was such a long time ago.
I did my work with tia because the work was really really hard and challenging so I asked tia.  

Here is a photo of me and tia's color the spinner work
