Long Division

Long Division

On the 3rd November, we were learning to use long division. Long division is a method that can help you solve or find the answer for a division equation or problem. Learning the basic steps of long division, will help you divide any numbers of any length, even decimals and integers. The first time I did long division I didn't get it at all, but when I got to try it myself I was pretty good at it. This symbol ⟌ means to divide. I show you guys an equation. 5⟌675 =135. Now that is long division.

Prodigy

 Prodigy is a math game, and it is also a game where you learn new spells, you complete new places, and you can also battle in a arena. Two of my favourite places in Prodigy is, Bonefire Spire and Shiverchill Mountains. When you log on as a new student, you start your first battle at the town hall, and in this game you also have pets to help you win your battles. If you want to get more pets you have to catch them, it's like Pokemon go but better.

This next place is called Shiverchill Mountains. In this place, you have to help Bok and his owl, find all the crystals and put them the furnace, to make the mountain more warmer. I forgot one thing to tell you. When you have pets, those pets could evolve, the other thing is, when you catch a pet and if it's level one or higher, when you want to catch more pets, those pets are going to be a low levelled. Lets move on. I like this place is because, the pets here are really high levelled. On my old account, I beat this place, but I had to make a new account and now I have to start all over again, but it's okay, that means I get to start the fun again.

This other place is called Bonefire Spire. In this place, your suppose to help slurpy please the queen. You have to find a peanut, cooking pots, turn on all the levers and battle this chef and his gross food. I like this place, because the pets here are also high levelled. I forgot to tell you this, when you get pets, they could have,  cloud powers, water powers, fire powers, mud powers, ice poers or mixed powers. As your pets level up they get new spells, and as you level up, you get new spells. THE END.

Speech Marks

On my speech mark quiz, I got 10 out of 10(100%) on my first go. 

I couldn't have got 10 out of 10 if I did not know, when, where and how to use speech marks. I'll show you an example. 

Hey Jeff, what are you doing? asked Bob. 

See how there are no speech marks. I'll edit that sentence and fix my mistake. 

"Hey Jeff, what are you doing?" asked Bob.

 Now I fixed my mistake and my sentence is better. See how the quotation marks(Speech Marks) are after the question mark. You always have to put your pucuation inside of the speech marks.

Now you know where to put the speech marks. 

3D Shapes

This term we are focusing on Geometry. Yesterday we created 3D shapes using nets. I created a cone. When I was going to cut mine out, It looked liked that minion with the sirens on his head and ears.  I found it difficult because I couldn't make the cone stick together. A cone has 1 edge, 1 corner and 2 faces.

Badminton

Yesterday was our final badminton session of the term. We had four lessons. Our instructor's name was Kylie, and she taught us how to serve,  use forehand, backhand, frying pan, handshake, underarm and overhead. Yesterday day she told us, where does the feathers come from, and my friend Jaiden said they come from a Goose. As a warm up we had to use a racquet to bounce the shuttlecock up and down, and I bounced the shuttlecock on my racquet, 37 times in a row and Javarn bounced it 56 times in a row. Then we had to stand on the yellow line, and we had to hit the shuttlecock as far as we could. After that, we had to find a buddy and hit the shuttlecock to each other, by using legal hits. Then we had to pack the shuttlecock and the racquet away, so Kylie and us can travel back to our classroom. After we finished packing, we got in a line and said "thank you Kylie."
