Maths Strategy

This is my FlipSnack. It includes my re-written version of One Small Step.Check it out!

Solar System Paragraph


The Solar System is apart of the galaxy usually known as ‘The Universe’. The Solar System consists of eight planets, and more than a quadrillion amount of stars. In ancient times, people began to create constellations with the stars. Most people say that they’re able to probe the stars but do they realise stars are light years away from us, somewhere floating in lost gravity? Light Years away, Earth is spinning on its on axis. This process produces an illusion of day and night: One side of the Earth absorbs light from the Sun,  while the other side absorbs darkness. Because of the nuclear fusions happening inside the Sun, day is caused when  bright blue Sun rays hit Earth’s atmosphere, hiding stars from the naked human eyes. Astronauts who travel to space are trained so they’re able to help expand knowledge in space explorations and technology. We believe, that our solar system is unique.
Above is a paragraph that includes information about the Solar System, and what it consists of. The whole class were split into 5 groups. Mrs Anderson wrote over 10 words onto the whiteboard. Each group had to include these words into their paragraph. The people listed below are the students who produced this paragraph:
Fine, Yvette, Pah Nwee and Tui.

Radical Reading:Holiday Reading

Radical Reading

Book I was reading

Grey Lynn Library


I went to the Grey Lynn Library. I think this was a radical place to read due to it being included in 'Sione's Wedding 2: Unfinished Business'. Unfortunately, pictures were taken on a phone, but my relative deleted it, not realising their importance. At the time I was reading 'Hitler's Daughter'. I also created a new library card.

Title: Hilter's Daughter
Author: Jackie French
Genre: Fiction

Get Active: Holiday Reading



During a power cut in East Auckland, a few relatives and I travelled to 'The Surrey Hotel' in Grey Lynn. We stayed there so we had electricity. We spent our 3 days there, swimming in the pool, relaxing in the spa pool, exercising in the gymnasium and reading at the local library. Luckily, the library and shops were just down the road, so we accessed them easily. We stayed in room 719. On Tuesday, we came back home. In the book 'Nelson Mandela: No Easy Walk To Freedom" , it states how Nelson travelled and stayed in different houses and apartments.
