Rounding Numbers

Today I have made a DLO about rounding numbers in maths.  I really liked making it. Once you know how to round numbers it is really easy to do. Follow the steps in my DLO to learn how. 

What's been in the news this week...

Last week in Nelson, there was a huge forest fire. It started on a farm with a machinery and then it caught the paddock on fire. 

It was also the the largest  forest fire since a blaze in Canterbury in 1955.

The fire wreaked havoc  in the area around Nelson as thousands of people had to be evacuated from their homes.

I think it must of been very scary for everyone and I am glad that no one got hurt.

By Bronwen Wall

WALT: infer different levels of meaning within and beyond the text

Level 1. Literal Meaning (we find evidence in the text)

The wind howled in mac’s ears He gripped his handlebars tighter Something large swept into his peripheral vision He ate every 20 minutes

Level 2. Inferential Meaning (we read between the lines to infer what the writer has implied)

It says he had the worst day on the first day I would like it to happen first so I can get it over and done with They said that they ate every 20 minutes i would probably have stich if i did that It says when they were experimenting tying 3 tires together

Level 3. Applied Meaning (we decide what the author might think or may want us to think from what has been said-we make a link to the text from our own experiences)

I would not be able to bike for that long he showed heaps of  perseverance It must've taken alot of planning  time like the route the food or the clothes
