About Me

Hi, My name is Sam and I am a Year 5 student at Mt Carmel School. I wanted to participate in the Summer Blogging as I was with my mum when Rachel came to talk to her class. I asked my mum if I can join. Finally she agrees and I am very keen to journey through with so many children around New Zealand.

Fractions

In Maths this week I have been learning how to put unit fractions in order from smallest to biggest.
Example-  A red wizard drank one quarter of a jug of magic juice. A blue wizard drank one fifth of a jug of the same juice. Which wizard drank the most? 
Answer- Red wizard drank the most. I know my answer is correct because the bigger the denominator  gets the smaller the fraction sizes get.

My Awesome Holidays


On the first day of the holidays it was so cool. We went swimming. There was splashing everywhere at the pools. Suddenly I saw Mr.Hooker at the pools and I said “Hello” to him. He couldn’t see me clearly because he had his glasses off. I did not know that he worked as a instructor. He was with a friend. His name was Jason.

After I moved to the cold pool,  When I came back home I was so exhausted from swimming. So I went straight to bed and slept the whole afternoon until night.  

In the morning we woke up. We were late for my brothers appointment and my mums. So it was cancelled and we stayed home. My brother and I went into my room and watched t.v and we fell asleep. My brother fell asleep on the couch and I on the big bed. I heard a loud noise in the lounge when I was about to go to  sleep.
I went to check in the lounge and it was my dad snoring loudly s2on the couch and I saw my mum on the computer. So I went back to sleep.
