Walt: to compare fractions.

This game was hard before I learn’t equivalent fractions. First we had to find the right fractions and see what one was bigger or smaller the fractions were sheep poo.  Next we had to jump on the plank with the bigger numerator and small and sometimes big denominator. After that it was all easy.

Spending splurge


I played this game with Viliami. In this game you start off with $1,750. I bought a passport, plane ticket, suitcase or bag, departure tax and more. Viliami and I had fun playing this game. I’ll be going on holiday to Australia. I have $248 left. I learnt what I need to go to other countries.   splurge.png

explanation of a dragon

There has been a dragon sighting in the park. All news channels were here but the dragon had killed everyone on site. The others had not been spotted because they were hiding in trees and in buildings.dragon.png


The dragon was stomping all over the place, its armoured skin could not be damaged, even by bullets. It was still waiting to attack when a policemen shot it. The dragon looked at him with anger in it’s eyes. They policemen ran and ran but it caught them. Blood was all over the place.
“Wait what is it doing? Run! It’s coming after us nooo! We just saw a brave reporter filmed right next to the beast and he has been eaten.” said Jack the news reporter.


We were hiding on the rooftop of a building. We just got in before it saw us. Then it landed and saw a tasty cow. It’s mouth began to water. Water came out  like a waterfall. It ate the cow and flew back to the city. Then appeared a man that still makes swords for a living. He had been making the same sword for six or seven years.


Then he ran up to the dragon with the sword in his hand and stabbed the dragon. It got angrier but the swords handle snapped. It’s neck had a weak spot.  The dragon ate the sword maker. Then the government made a robot called T4 and a back up robot named T5. These are robots that were made to take down the dragon however they had one problem: they weren’t fireproof. T1, T2 and T3 all couldn’t stop the fire breathing dragon.


The dragon destroyed two major cities in the time of three days. It’s gone into hiding in a cave. The people are safe for a little while. Everyone was thankful thinking the dragon was gone for good but when it came out of it’s cave, they all screamed and ran away!
The dragons hunger was growing. It ran after the people and tried to eat them. Then T4 hit the beast and it fell to ground. The dragon then got back up and it looked at the robot. It let out a big powerful fire blast. T4 was going down but it got one last punch on the beast before it fell. The egg the dragon had laid in the cave had cracked open. The dragon got so mad that it let out a blast of fire far more powerful than a volcano. The blast nearly destroyed half the city. Bang the robot fired the dragon out of the sky. It’s babies cried as they saw their mother fall. She got back up and saw T5.


She wanted to take T5 down with her mighty jaws. Her jaws were sharper than daggers. T5 punched the dragon then the dragon ripped the arm off T5. T5 attacked the dragon with a flame thrower. The dragon shot back a flame ball at T5. They were an even match until bang the dragon let out another fireball and T5 went down. T5 got back up and saw the weak spot on the dragon's neck and punched it. The dragon went down. She then got up and put her babies on her back and flew away.

When it was flying over another city the dragon got shot down. The babies landed safely on a mattress someone left on the top of a building.The babies were crying thinking their mother was dead.However, their mother had landed safely, spread out on top of three different buildings. She got up and collected her babies. They went to rest in her cave to sleep for two years.  Everyone came out of hiding again. The were very happy that the dragon was really gone. The  babies woke up and left the cave angry. The police found them and because they were still babies they were trained not to kill like their mother and be nice instead.           

Decimals

We were learning about decimals it was challenging. The sums were a bit hard and took some time to finish the answer. I need more practise.
