This is me (green shirt) and my partner doing the Cha-Cha

Fractions

A fraction is a part of a whole number. A numerator is the top number of a fraction its how many pieces have been selected. The denominator is the bottom number. To remember this think of “d” stands for down and how many pieces overall.
A top heavy fraction is a number that the numerator is bigger than the denominator for example20/5. (Remember all you do is divide 5 into 20 which is 4).
A normal fraction is like ⅔ and ⅗.
A mixed fraction is a fraction that is mixed with a whole number and a fraction for example 3⅓ and 5⅕.
When finding fractions of whole numbers such as ⅔ of 21 you need to split 21 into 3 groups (7) and times it by 2 = 14.
Remember fractions are the same as division (÷).

Cultural festival

Waiting back stage, waiting for the Kapa Haka to finish. It was time the music started for my dance. I was very nerves but I was also feeling happy at the same time. When Jonathan said the Chimps all did a Cha Cha with a very Latin feel. I walked towards the stage all the other dances were coming on to do the Cha Cha.
When I got to my spot the nerves started to disappear. It wasn’t that bad. I know I made my dance partner look good. My feet felt like they were dancing on air.
After a while my dance was over. Creeping of the stage with a huge sigh of relief, MISSION COMPLETED.

The Brave Knight

Once upon a time lived a Brave knight that had rescued lots of people but he had never stopped an evil witch. When it was time he was very nervous.The witch had been terrorising the whole world. It was time to stop the evil witch. The brave knight had been standing in the tallest tower in his castle he jumped out but he did have a Para shoot he flew down.
When he hit the ground he pulled out his sword and started fighting the evil witch. He was fighting for ages then the phoenix arrived but the Evil witch had put a control device on the phoenix so it flew down attacking the brave knight.
It pushed him to the ground and then the witch came over but the brave knight shot up and kicked over the evil witch and stabbed her. Tragically the phoenix died as well because the control device was set up to kill the phoenix if the Evil witch died. The brave knight put the phoenix in the fire and in the ashes a little phoenix popped out and they all lived happily ever after.

My dad

In Term 2 I wrote this character description.

My dad, ......., was born in the little township of ......... He is .... years old. He has blue eyes like the bright blue sky and his hair has not changed since the day he was born (Black).
His farming hands are tough. They can handle anything that gets in his way. Overtime, they have handled prickles, barb wire and electric fences.
He has been milking cows for longer than I can remember. My dad wakes up at 6 o’clock every morning to make sure that the farm is running smoothly. Because he wakes up at 6 o’clock, he is quite tired at the end of the day.
I know that my dad thinks that I am the favourite son because I am the only son. My dad is always teaching me things on the farm. Things like how to use the milking shed and how to couple up water troughs because I think that he will want me to take over the farm one day (I Hope).
My dad is the best dad in the entire world.
