What is Problem Solving

What is Problem Solving? Does it only happen in maths?

Have you ever asked yourself what is problem solving? I think problem solving is trying to find a solution or answer to the problem. What do you think it is?

 Do you think problem solving only happens in maths? I say no because you can use problem solving in everything.

Eg: The All blacks and Australia were playing against each other Australia was winning because they had 35 points and the All blacks had 6 how much more do they need to catch up.

This is my problem solving we had 20 minutes to write about what is problem solving and is it only used in maths. After that we had to work with a critical friend and wrote a comment on each others. What I think problem solving is trying to find the solution to the problem. I say no because Problem solving is all over the world it's not just in mathsWhat do you think do you think yes or no?

Speech Reflection

This is my speech we were doing in class and my one is about why we should celebrate culture groups at school. 

My Speech

Malo Le Lei and greetings to you all! Think about your favourite celebration. Something very close to your heart. How would you feel if it was taken away from you? You would feel pretty sad wouldn’t you? Culture groups is something that is important to me, and I want it to be celebrated every year at school!

How fun does it sound having culture groups in your school? All schools should have a day each year where they celebrate all the different cultures! Culture groups are a good thing because it gives students a chance to learn about the different cultures and find out more on their own.

Culture groups interest people to learn about their identity and they bring all these different nationalities together. This would be an amazing opportunity for students to show their culture to others or discover more about it.

Culture groups are a fun and exciting way to learn. Students will be engaged in the learning going on, and it’s a great way to make new friends. Culture groups is something we need! Don’t you agree?

They can also learn about other cultures and take that learning everywhere they go. It’s a fun way to learn, and a lot of students here would love this idea.

Imagine never having the opportunity to express your independence. We should hold practises during lunches , so it doesn’t collide with our learning time. Then at the end of the term, we can present to the school our culture.

Cross Country

PBS Values

This year we have new school values at PBS. Our school values spell C.A.R.E. The C stands for confidence, A stands for attitude, R stands for respect and the E stands for excellence and innovation. We used our school values to help us think about how we will make the most of our learning opportunities in Room 9.

Netbook Reflection 2013

How has having a netbook connected to the internet helped my learning this year. This year I learnt heaps of stuff I learnt a website called kiwi kids news. I think that website helped  me the most this year because it helps me understand the news. My friends taught me how to bookmark important things. I learnt to make a comment on other school's blog because my cousin taught me at their house. I helped my friend to blog his work. This year has been cool with my netbook because things are much faster.

Evening Performance Night

          Reflection question

I did my hardest performance and I was really  happy with myself and I put heaps of energy in the performance.

I think we should speak louder so the audience at the back can hear you and everybody will be happy.

I will be quiet when i walk and put the instrument and walk to the other

side and i will be in time.

My dad told me to speak louder and sing and my dad said it was cool.

Tonight  I will try to make my behaviour better tonight.

My Holiday

                       My Holiday

In my holidays I played games at home with my cousin’s and I kept on winning  but sometimes I lose to  them and it’s gets boring . When we finished playing, we played call of duty the whole night so I said we should go to sleep because it was getting late.

In the morning  I went to the shops with my mum to buy me clothes because I was growing bigger. My clothes were too small to fit  me so my mum brought me a jacket, pants, shorts and a tshirt and I tried all of my clothes on. It all fit me. Then we had to go to my music band and practice. I wore my new clothes but I forgot to buy me shoes so when my practice finished I went and brought me some shoes for tomorrow. I made it in time because the shops were going to close then I brought my shoes. Then the next day I went to my music practice and I wore my new shoes.

On my next holiday I am going to Rainbows End and it’s fun because they have roller coasters. It’s fun to ride on it because it’s scary to ride on the roller coaster. They have a game called bumper cars and the rule is to bump off the other cars. Thats my  favourite game because you have to bump the other cars off so thats all I want for  my next holidays.
