Here is a copy of my last basic facts test for the rest of the year.
I am working at  level 6 stage 3. At the begging of the year, I was working at the begging of the year level 1 Stage 4.

STRATEGY STAGE 5  Bailey

Early Additive - Part-Whole

This first section is about addition and subtraction.  I can do this.   I can’t do this yet.

Solve simple problems mentally using basic facts they know: - Doubles: 8+7 = 8+8-1	8 + 7 =	Solve this problem using the doubles strategy.	6 + 7 =
- Fives:	Example: 8+7= 5+3+5+2	Solve this problem using the fives strategy.	7 + 6 =
- Making Tens:	Example: 8+7=8+2+5	Solve this problem using the Making Tens strategy.	7 + 5 =
Solve 2&3 digit problems by: -Tidy Numbers:	Example: 29+18 as 30+17	Solve this problem using the Tidy Numbers strategy.	37 + 15 =
- Place Value:	Example: 33+16 as 30+10+3+6	Solve this problem using the Place Value strategy	37 + 15 =
-Using rounding and compensating to solve addition problems	Example I can solve 29  + 29 = by doing 30 + 30 =60 Then, 60 - 2 = 58 So, 29 + 29 = 58	Solve this addition problem using rounding and compensation.	19 + 19 =
I can use rounding and compensating to solve subtraction problems	Example I can solve 28 - 9 = by doing 28 - 10  =18 Then, 18 +1 = 19 So, 28 - 9 = 19	Solve this subtraction problem using rounding and compensation	37 - 9 =
Reflection/Comment: There aren’t any answers on here as you worked these out on paper and this page just shows whether or not you could solve certain kinds of problem. You got 6/7 which is pretty good. You are definitely ready to move up to Stage 6 thinking but you do need to re-do some lessons about rounding and compensation. Mrs B😀 I am quite happy with how I did. 😕
Strategy Stage 5  Level 2       This is what I can do and  what I can’t do yet.
This next section is about multiplication and division.    Bailey T4 2016
Solve problems by: - using repeated addition with problems involving 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s and 10’s at least	Example: 6 x 5 = 5 +5+5+5+5+5 =	Solve this problem by using the Repeated Addition strategy.	6 x 4 =
- or forming the factors when the basic fact is known	Example: I know that 6 x 5 = 30  so I can solve this missing number problem. 6 x ______ = 30	Solve this missing number problem by using this known fact.	8 x 4 = 32 So 8 x _______ = 32
The next section is about fractions.
- Find a fraction of a number by trial and improvement with addition facts	Example: ⅓ of 12 =	Solve this fraction problem by using addition facts.	What is ¼ of 8?
- Find fractions of shapes and lengths including fractions greater than 1	Example: This shape shows ½ These shapes show 1  and a half	Draw a shape to show Draw shapes to show	¼ 1 and a quarter
Reflection/Comment:  There aren’t any answers on here as you worked these out on paper and this page just shows whether or not you could solve certain kinds of problem. You need to go back to Maths Buddy and re-do some exercises about finding fractions of numbers, shapes and lengths, especially fractions which are bigger than 1. Mrs B😀 I’m happy that I did well in multiplication. Fractions are tricky.😕

Soft ball term 4

This is an activity we did when we were learning how to play soft ball

Something I think I have done well is bating but

next time I think I could improve is running

Tourism

Kia ora, here is a presentation I made about tourism in NZ. We had to investigate tourism activities which were based on the sea/sea animals. Plus: I got to work with clever, helpful cousins. Minus: It was hard finding the right answers to some questions. Interesting:  There was real-life earthquake last week which damaged real-life tourist activities based on the sea in Kaikoura.

Thinglink seas/oceans

This is an activity we did about seas/oceans using the Thinglink app. This is the first time I have made something using Thinglink so I hope someone will give me some feedback.

Term 4 Recount.

Kia ora

Here is the recount I wrote  for an Asttle writing test in Week 4.  Our teacher marked all our recounts and gave us our scores. Mine came out at Level 2p which is just below the end of year standard for Year Five. I need to work on punctuation and spelling. I got the best score for sentence structure.

Then we helped each other to improve them by reading each other’s recount and talking about them. We also used Revision Assistant to help edit each other’s story and Mrs B added some notes as well. Everyone in our room likes Revision Assistant because it’s easy to understand the marks notes that it puts on your writing and so it’s quick for us to go and do the fix-ups. We have to make our stories perfect in spelling, grammar and punctuation before we are allowed to publish them here.

“Yahoo!  "I said ."We're going to Paihia."

"Get your gear," Mum said.  Aunty Jag,Uncle Pete,Alexis,Papa Joe,Nana T, Ben and my bigger cousin   

were waiting for us at the beach.

"I’ve got my gear, "I said .

" OK, go put it in the car, “said Dad. "Let’s go."

When we got to Paihia we parked by the park were our aunty   Was “Can we play on the park ?" I asked Mum.

"Yep, " she said. I took my cousin Alexis, my brother,sisters  and bigger cousin on the park to play. “Let’s play tag, " my big cousin Autumn said but I said, "I’m going for a swim".

" Ohh, " she said ."I’m coming too then .Let's go get our togs ."

After a little while we had kai."Kids, it's time to go home now, "the adults said. " We will stop at the shop and get an ice block."

"Mum, can I go stay at Aunty's house? " I asked.

She said, "Yep."

I felt tired at the end of the day .    

Google Drawing Mt Ruapehu

This is an activity we did when we were learning how to get better at Google Draw.

Something I think I have done well  is using a combination of pictures, shapes and words.

Next time I think I could improve the size of things so they look more real.
