Acceleration For T1W4

Omaru creek- Te Taiao o Tāmaki,

                   Omaru Creek

At Omaru Creek there were blockages because of fat and rubbish poured down in the drains by local residents. The maintenance crew arrived at Omaru Creek and helped clean out the rubbish in the creek, flushing the drain with clean water. The maintenance crew found things that shouldn't be in the Creek such as wipes, nappies, toys and rotting mattresses.  

The residents of the Glen Innes community and our school are trying to help clean the Omaru Creek so that it will have fresh water and look like what every other stream should look like. Our school chose the part closest to Apirana Avenue and we plan on cleaning up the creek for a few weeks. We visited it and we found a metal bucket, sticks, plants that stops the water from flowing, and rubbish everywhere.

Learning of the week

Prototec

 

The 3 keywords for this year are PACE, ACCELERATION and CONSOLIDATION. For the first basic facts assessment  I got 31 out of 40 and in week 3 I got 33 of 40. I didn’t improve my basic facts because I didn’t try hard enough.  For the next basic facts test I hope to get are 40 out of 40. I will conslidate my fractions.
