Strange Instruments - COUNTING THE BEAT

 This week we have learned about strange instruments, instruments that no one has every seen or played before. We had to make a drawing of a unusual and weird instrument on a peice of paper, my instrument is a ukulele cross between a guitar, it has 10 strings because a guitar has 6 strings and a ukulele has 4 strings, so that's what makes is unique to other weird instruments.

My instrument belongs to the string family because it has 10 strings on the neck and it has 10 tuning pegs for the strings. It is made from normal wood like a guitar. You play it normaly like a guitar or a ukulele you can swith through the strings because there is 10 strings, the first 4 strings are the ukulele setting, an the last 6 strings are the guitars setting, and you can play all the strings to make a new unique song and sound. The instrument can be played for any type of music because it has lots of vairity for the sound because it has 10 strings therefore it could be used for any type of music.

Here is a picture of my instrument...

Dive

Dive on Biteable.
This story was about a girl who was swimming and lost her phone. As she was searching a sea snake wriggles bye. This story was from the reading journal grid and it was a easy story. I picked this story because It looked interesting and it was about swiming and rivers.

After we read the story we got to pick a task from the grid I chosse biteable, I havent used biteable in a longtime because I usually use google docs because it is much easier.

The hard part about it was making the biteable because it took long to get it sorted and that.

The easy part was reading the story because it was about swiming and rivers, I can relate to it because I like swimming in rivers.

Adding Decimals With Hundreths

Yesterday I done some maths, you click on a video and it shows you how to add decimals with hundredths. I learnt 2 new strategies of this video, one of the strategy that I learnt was adding the decimals and splitting them up and then add them up.

The hard part about this was the split strategy because it was one of the hard strategies to learn.

The easy part was the strategy when you add them up because i'm good at pluse's and carrying the number.

Here is a picture of the workings and the link to the video

Decimal Video

Maths Post

For the past few week I have been doing maths. Which includes Division, rounding tens, addition and subtraction. I put all of my working out in my book to record what i've done.

The hard part was learning new strategies because they were new to me and some were a bit hard to figure out.

The easy part was that it was fun, it was fun to learn new strategies to use for my maths problems.

Here are a few pictures of my workings....

Maths stratigies

Today I learnt the split and multiples of ten strategies. For the split one I had to split the number and times them. The multiple one was a bit easier exg. 10 x 42 = 420 and who had to do a starigie for that one.

The hardest part about this was figuring out how to use the strategy.

The easy part was it was new and it was fun trying them out.

Mathletics

For the last three days i've been doing maths on matletics most of it was easy for me but on the last day I had abit of trouble with pertentages and graphing. The first 2 days it was easy because it was subtraction and addition.

The hard part about it was the end one because im not to good at my percentages and graphing.

The easy part was the first and second days because it was addition.
