Maths problem

Walt: go back through a tidy ten to solve subtraction problems.

Here is the maths problem I am working on in my maths book.

How it works is when you have to minus some numbers, you could use this example like
If it was 45-6, you have to write 45-5, so you could get 40, so then you used 5 of your 6 and so that means you have 1 left. Next you have to minus 40-1. This is how it looks like
45-5=
45-5=40
40-1=39

Have you use this maths strategy before?

How honey is made

Walt: write a explaining piece of writing.

How honey is made

Did you know that Honey bees must gather nectar from two million flowers to make one pound of honey?

Bees have two stomachs, when they collect nectar they store it in one of their stomach and the other stomach is for when they eat food. They usually collect nectar in spring because that’s when most flowers bloom and that means more pollum, and they use their proboscis to suck all the nectar out of the flowers and when their honey stomach is full of pollum, they go back to their hive. 

When the bees go back to their hive, all the worker bees chew on the pollum and pass it on to another worker bee until the nectar is sticky, when it’s sticky the bees put the pollum in a honeycomb and then use their wings to dry the honey and then sealed it with a wax lid. 

Next the bee keepers go and collect the honey from the hives and prepare it to sell in stores around the world.

I really enjoyed writing how bees make honey. I learnt a lot about bees and did you know that New Zealand is the only country in the world to have Manuka honey?

My goal settings for this term

Walt: we have written two goals we are gonna achieve this term, one strength goal and one Stretch goal.

A famous person named Grandpa

Walt: we were suppose to write about someone famous who we look up to and I chose my grandpa.

The reason why I chose my grandpa is because he was an amazing person and could build anything. I look up to my grandpa so much because he always help everyone and was really kind.
Once when I went to the park, I saw that on the playground their was some wood missing, so my grandpa fixed it and I wish I was there to see it.

Who do you look up too?

The book I'm reading at the moment is the Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Walt: we were suppose to do a blog post about a book we are reading or is still reading and I decided to do one about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Double Down.


I am still busy reading this book, I think it's a really funny book and can't wait to finish it, because it's about Halloween and I have a few more books at home I want to read, though. My favourite part so far was the geese part, it was really funny.
What's the book your reading at the moment?

Our art

Walt: share things about ourselves to our friends and teacher. 

On the first day of school, we were making a puzzle that had some questions about us and what we were looking forward to. I finally finished mine and it was so fun and I almost lost a pice of my puzzle, but I found it in my desk.


Here is a picture of my puzzle.
Did you make something like this on the first day of school?
