The Future
In the future I believe that climate change will get worse than now so to look after this beautiful planet is rubbish bins not just any rubbish bins but robot bins so if you put a plastic in the garden bin it will chuck it out and it will tell you what bin it goes so what ever goes to landfill its the things that belong there.When Im older i want to make sure that Me and my family are safe and that we will always go church and make sure everything around me is ok and make sure to spread love to people.For my activity I Had to make my dream future bedroom.I really liked this activity because I got to use my creativity in me.This was FUN!

Converting decimals into fractions
Today for maths Me and My class were converting decimals into fractions.My first one that I really loved to figure out was 5/100.The first thing that I looked at was the 5 and I already knew that is was 5.Now I was stuck with the 10 and this was the tricky part but thing I remembered was what ever you do to the top you do to thew bottom.So now I decided to count to ten but by 2s and I got 20 so I had my answer 5/100 can be simplified to the lowest of 1/20.This activity was really fun and I loved it.
Converting decimals into fraction
0.05 = 5/100 =1/20
0.14 = 14/100 = 7/200
0.125 = 125/1000 =15/1000
0.64 = 64/100 = 8/100
0.27 = 27/100 =9/11
0.216 = 216/1000 =216/1000
0.89 = 89/100 = 89/100
0.625 = 625/1000 = 5/8
0.428 = 428/1000 = 428/1000
0.08 = 8/100 = 2/200
0.546 = 546/1000 =273/500
0.35 = 35/100 =7/20
0.864 = 864/1000 =108/125

Facts about Tokelau and Niue
Today(2/11/2021) I did some research about Tokelau and Niue.It was really fun and I love finding out about These two countries.The most goddess fact that I found about Niue was that when James cook called Niue "Savage Island" because people refused about his arrival and it made me laugh a bit.Niue and Tokelau to me they are very beautiful countries and I love their oceans its so nice and beautiful.For this activity I put it into slides so four slides for Tokelau and four slides Niue.Another Interesting fact was that Niue has more people living there then Tokelau with the rank of Niue with 1,641 and Tokelau with 1,379.This was so much fun and I would definitely do it again but with two different new countries.

TWP Play '' Like share subscribe '' By Kalila
On the 29th of October Me, Cristobella, Xavier, Preston, Callen and Andrew created a play called 'Like, Share and Subscribe' with the help of Mrs Grayham. The characters that we played were: Me as the mum, Xavier as the dad, Bella as Emma (daughter), Callen as Jake (son), Preston as the narrator and Andrew as the Introducer. This play is about parents going on their devices every day and Emma and Jake don't like it. So they make new rules for their parents to follow.
I really enjoyed this play because it is true being online a lot is not good for you and made me learn that to also spend time with your family. When I first was practising I felt like I was good enough but when I kept practising I felt excited and confident. From this play, the message that I caught was to respect others people privacy and always spend time with your family.
