We tried our best to do everything. Hannah and me had broken arms so we
found it very hard. We still had very much fun.

On the 12th December it was the Kereru Team Bike Day. It was a long, hot, tiring but extremely fun day. The day included a bike ride from school to Kauri Point for bike activites. Everyone was focusing on coming first for their class in the bike relay. Especially Jansje who improved alot throughout the day. After the activites at Kauri Point we headed back in a squiggly line through the grass and into a single line onto the footpath to come to a hault. There we saw Yuonsukes grandad. We finished with a Mexican wave and went the long way back to school.
Rocket Ropes
That's me, Krishan. I was struggling a lot, so was my partner Jahmiah.
We tried our best and we fought our fears and got through all of the courses.

rocket ropes
On Wednesday Room 12 and 14 went to Rocket ropes for E.O.T.C lots of as were freaked but did it any .It was a fun day in the end every one wanted to go again. There was the rock climbing , long droop,
Jacob ladder, advance ropes and beginner .
THE UKULELE FESTIVAL
This year we had the 2012 ukulele festival. It went for 5 hours, the festival started at 11:00 am and finshed at 4:00 pm, the people that partisapated that was from room 8 is Ella Gribble, Brooke Rainer from room 12 Zayne Collier, Winiata Walker, and Shayla Kumar, A big thanks to Miss Rochelle Salt for making this day possable. The parade started at 2:00 pm and ended at 2:30 pm, after a little while, we all had to go up to the stadium were we played the ukeulele, there was 19 diffrent song's including the national anthem.

Division Strategies Revision
- Halving and Halving Strategy
E.g. 96 ÷ 24 = 4
48 ÷ 12 = 4
24 ÷ 6 = 4
12 ÷ 3 = 4
- Using Known Facts Strategy
This strategy, as the name suggests, involves breaking up the problem into know pieces to make it easier.
E.g. 136 ÷ 8 = ?
10 x 8 = 80 (136 - 80 = 56)
56 ÷ 8 = 7
There are 10 groups of 8 in the 80, and 7 groups of 8 in 56, so altogether there are 17 groups of 8 in 136, => 136 ÷ 8 = 17.
Multiplication Practise
Think about what would be the best strategy then have a go at practising with the following problems.
5 x 84 =
9 x 17 =
8 x 45 =
78 x 5 =
97 x 4 =
3 x 14 =
4 x 33 =
5.8 x 8 =
9 x 12.4 =
4.2 x 4 =
8.9 x 4 =
Get someone at home to write you some new problems so you can keep practising.
Also check out Room 11's blog. They have videos of kids explaining how to use all the strategies.

Multiplication Strategies Revision
Multiplication
- Place Value Strategy
(Good for problems that have multiple digit numbers that end in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Eg. 6 x 15 = (6 x 10) + (6 x 5)
= 60 + 30
= 90
- Rounding and Compensating Strategy
(Good for problems that have multiple digit numbers that end in 6, 7, 8, 9)
Eg. 7 x 19 = (7 x 20) - (7 x 1)
= 140 - 7
= 133
- Doubling and Halving Strategy (Can also be applied as Tripling and Thirding)
E.g 5 x 46 = 10 x 23 (Double the ‘5’, and halve the ’46’)
= 230
Or. 3 x 24 = 9 x 8 (Triple the ‘3’ and third the ’24’)

Subtraction Practise
45 - 17 =
3.1 - 1.9 =
345 - 231 =
68 - 52 =
12.7 - 3.3 =
93 - 34 =
When you have finished, ask someone at home to write you some more similar problems.
3.1 - 1.9 =
345 - 231 =
68 - 52 =
12.7 - 3.3 =
93 - 34 =
When you have finished, ask someone at home to write you some more similar problems.
Subtraction Strategy Practise
- Place Value Strategy
Eg. 47 - 34 = 47 - 30 - 4
= 17 - 4
= 13
Or. 82 - 19 = 82 - 10 - 9
= 72 - 9 (The nine is split into parts to make this step easier)
= 72 - 2 - 7
= 70 - 7
= 63
- Equal Adjustment Strategy
(The second number in the equation is rounded up or down to a ‘tidy ten’, an equal amount must then be added or subtracted from the first number. NB In subtraction problems, you either add to both numbers OR subtract from both numbers)
Eg. 123 - 49 = 124 - 50
+1 +1
= 74
E.g. 84 - 52 = 82 - 50
-2 -2
= 32
- Reversibility Strategy
(A subtraction equation can be reversed and made into an addition problem. A number line can then be used to help solve the problem)
Eg. 73 - 29 = ?
29 + ? = 73
29 30 70 73
+1 +40 +3
29 + 44 = 73
so 73 - 29 = 44

Addition Strategy Practise
Have a go at these. Remember the same rules apply when you solve decimal problems, you just have to make sure you are using the right place value columns.
You can choose which strategy you would like to use, but use all of the different strategies at some stage.
1) 34 + 78 =
2) 359 + 102 =
3) 3.8 + 6.9 =
4) 57 + 88 =
5) 23.7 + 12.4 =
If you have finished these, ask someone at home to write some similar problems for you to solve.
Ask if you get stuck!

Addition Strategy Revision
Today we revised the 3 key addition strategies. They are:
- Place Value Strategy
(Numbers are separated into the tens and ones)
Eg. 45 + 13 = (40 + 10) + (5 + 3)
= 50 + 8
= 58
- Advanced Place Value Strategy - Holding the biggest number
Or. 57 + 47 = 57 + 40 + 7
= 97 + 7
= 104
- Rounding and Compensating Strategy
(One of the numbers is rounded up or down to a ‘tidy ten’, an equal amount must then be taken away or added to the other number in the equation to balance it. NB: In addition problems you use two different actions addition/subtraction)
Eg. 63 + 59 = 62 + 60
-1 +1
= 122
