Facts about Fiji

 

Maths

 1. There are 12 pencils in a box. AJ has 15 boxes of pencils. How many pencils are altogether?

12 x 15 = 180

10 x 10 = 100

10 x 5 = 50

2 x 10 = 20

2 x 5 = 10

100 + 50 + 20 + 10 = 180

2. Alyanna had 167 marbles. She played a few games with Wuatai and had only 42 marbles left.  How many marbles did Wuatai win from Alyanna.

167 - 42 = 125
100 - 40 = 60

60 - 2 = 58

7 - 0 = 7

60 + 58 + 7 = 125

3. Arapeta decided to buy a birthday present for his mum that will cost $92. How much more money does Arapeta has to save if he has $26.

92 - 26 = 66

90 - 20 = 70 borrow 10 60

2 + 10 = 12

12 - 6 = 6

60 + 6 = 66

4. Dyanasty has some lollies that she wants to share among her classmates. There are 30 children in her class. How many lollies does she have if each student gets 8 lollies?

30 x 8 = 240

10 x 8 = 80

10 x 8 = 80

10 x 8 = 80

80 + 80 + 80 = 240

5. Avania’s school is 57 km from her home. She walks 14 km and bikes the rest of the way to school. What distance does Avania cover by bike?

57 - 14 = 43

50 - 10 = 40

7 - 4 = 3

40 + 3 = 43

6. In a class of 46 students, there are 26 boys and the rest are girls. How many girls are there in the class?

46 - 26 = 20

40 - 20 = 20

6 - 6 = 0

20 + 0 = 20

WP1. Problem 1

Glenbrae school will be going to visit the Auckland Museum. It has 290 students. The school has to hire some buses to take the students to the museum. If each bus can carry 25 passengers, how many buses will the school hire ?

290 ÷ 25 = 11 r 15

So Glenbrae needs to hire 11 + 1 = 12 buses

WP2. Problem 2

The senior school from Glenbrae  will be going to visit the Motat. There are 108 students. The school will hire some buses to take the students to the motat. If each bus can carry 25 passengers, how many buses will the school hire ?

108 ÷ 25 = 4 r 8

So Glenbrae needs to hire 4 + 1 = 5 buses

WP3. Problem 3

The junior school from Glenbrae  will be going to visit the Zoo. There are 82 students. The school will hire some buses to take the students to the zoo. If each bus can carry 25 passengers,how many buses will the school hire ?

82 ÷ 25 = 3 r 7

So Glenbrae needs to hire 3 + 1 = 4 buses

Maths

WALT: solve multiplication problems using place value partitioning

There are 8 pencils in a box. AJ has 15 boxes of pencils.
How many pencils are there altogether?

15 x 8 = ?

10 x 8 = 80

5 x 8 = 40

80 + 40 = 120

To solve this problem, I used place value partitioning. I
multiplied 10 by 8 and I got 80 as the answer. Then,
I multiplied 5 by 8 and I got 40 as the answer. Then
I added 80 and 40 and I got 120. So AJ has 120 pencils
altogether.

Activity 2: One Small Step for Man [4 points]

Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut and engineer. In 1969, Neil and his team of astronauts flew to the moon in a spacecraft called Apollo 11. When they arrived, Neil got out of the spacecraft and walked on the moon. He is the first person in history to walk on the moon! As Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, he famously said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

As you can imagine, landing on the moon is a very dangerous task. Many things can go wrong, and a number of astronauts have died attempting to land on the moon. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins (the three astronauts on Apollo 11) must have been extremely brave.

I always imagine that walking on the moon must be like jumping on the trampoline! Do you like jumping on a trampoline? My daughter Laila loves it!

For this activity, let’s imagine that you were Neil Armstrong.

On your blog, write a short poem describing how you felt when you first set foot on the moon. Here is a link to some different poetry forms.

The hatch opened and I was so nervous
I'm scared to go out
But strong curiosity pushed me out
I thought I would fall into the universe
But i didn't fall into the universe
And i'm floating
One small step for man one giant leap for mankind
in the universe It ’s like jumping on a trampoline
I put our flag on a planet
Then I went back to the spaceship and the other crew said:
This place is so fun I don't want to go back home now!

SLJ DAY 2 Activity 1

DAY 2: UP IN THE AIR

Activity 1: Flying Solo [4 points]

Jean Batten was a famous aviator (pilot) who was born in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1909. In the 1930s she made several record-breaking solo flights (on her own) across the world. In fact, she was the first person to fly solo from England to New Zealand - a huge achievement! She also flew a number of long solo flights between England and Australia/Brazil. When she flew, she always took a silk dress with her so that she could look beautiful at the parties she attended upon her arrival.

Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who lived at about the same time as Jean Batten. Like Jean, she also flew solo. In fact, she was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She flew all the way from Canada to Northern Ireland on her own without stopping. In 1937, Amelia Earhart attempted to circumnavigate (go right around) the world. Unfortunately, the flight ended in tragedy when she disappeared near Howland Island, about halfway between Australia and Hawaii. She was never found.

For this activity, compare and contrast these two aviators. You could use this venn diagram.

On your blog, share your comparison between the two women and be sure to include at least three similarities and three differences between these two aviators.

Three similarities: 

1.They are all pilots

2.They are all flew solo

3.They all have to fly long distances

Three differences:

1.They fly to a different place

2.Jean Batten takes a dress with him every time he flies, but Amelia Earhart did not.

3.They do not have the same birth age

SLJ Acivity 3: Scaling New Heights [6 points]

Activity 3: Scaling New Heights [6 points]

In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and his sherpa (guide), Tenzing Norgay, were the first people to reach the summit of Mt Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.

At the time, Edmund Hillary was an apiarist (beekeeper) from Auckland, New Zealand. During the summer he worked as a beekeeper, and during the winter, he climbed mountains. Becoming the first person to summit Everest was not easy. In fact, Edmund Hillary attempted (tried) to climb to the top of Mt Everest three times before he succeeded. He was determined to reach the top!

While this famous explorer and climber is mostly remembered for being the first person to reach the summit of Mt Everest, he has also made a huge impact on the world through his charity work. In 1960, Sir Edmund Hillary set up the Himalayan Trust to bring education, healthcare and safe drinking water to the people of Nepal - the country where Mt Everest is located.

For this activity, please select a charity that you are interested in. You may choose your own or use one from our list (below). Read about the charity.

Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Activity 2

Activity 2: Discovering Aotearoa [4 points]

Many people believe that Kupe was the first explorer to discover Aotearoa, New Zealand in about 1300. He navigated his way by waka to Aotearoa from Hawaiki using traditional Polynesian navigation techniques - just like Nainoa Thompson (from Activity 1) did much later on. Legend says that he followed a great octopus all the way to Aotearoa/New Zealand and finally destroyed it in Cook Strait (the water between the North and South Islands).

Many years later, a Dutch explorer from The Netherlands, Abel Tasman, was exploring the Pacific Ocean when he came across New Zealand. He thought that he was the first person to ‘discover’ the country (despite the fact that Māori already lived in New Zealand!) and made the claim in 1642 that he had ‘discovered’ a new land. His exploration of New Zealand inspired many other European explorers to follow his lead and travel to the Oceania.

Kupe and Abel Tasman were two different men from two very different backgrounds (cultures) who shared a common interest - exploration.

For this activity we would like you to think about your own experiences and your own cultural background. Where does your family come from? Do they come from Europe like Abel Tasman, Polynesia like Kupe, or somewhere else?

On your blog, please tell us about your cultural background. Where do you and your family come from?

my family is form china.

me is form china.

every people in china will eat a variety of things at each festival:

We eat dumplings on the first day of winter,

we have a festival called the Lantern Festival, We had dessert at that time.

and there is a lot of delicious food in china.

Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Activity 1

DAY 1: Activity 1

Activity 1: Setting Sail [4 points]

People from Pacific nations have always been expert explorers and navigators. In the past, they used the stars, sun and ocean swells to find their way (navigate) around the Pacific Ocean. Master navigator, Nainoa Thompson, has used the ancient Polynesian wayfinding skills to navigate around the world. In 2013, Nainoa led a crew across the Pacific Ocean on two large canoes (Hokule'a and Hikianalia). The crew stopped off in Aotearoa, New Zealand in 2015 on their journey and visited the Manaiakalani Schools in Auckland.

Here is a short video about Polynesian navigation. It describes the different ways ancient Polynesian navigators used the natural world to find their way around vast oceans. Incredible!

I think that it would be difficult to be ‘at sea’ for weeks at a time. I would miss my family but I would also enjoy the adventure. Let’s imagine that you were invited to join Nainoa for three weeks at sea. As part of the journey, you have to pack your own food.

For this activity, make a list of ten food items that you could take with you. Please think carefully about what you will take as you won’t have access to a refrigerator or freezer while at sea. Please explain why you would select each item.

On your blog, post your list of 10 food items you would take on an ocean voyage and the reasons why you chose these items.

Apples and Bananas : they has nutrition

water , milk and fizzy : They can help you quench your thirst

food cans , sandwich , Bread , cookies and Chocolate jam : They can help you lift your hunger
