Adding Fractions!

For the past two weeks I've been learning how to add fractions with different denominators together. It was quite challenging but I got it in the end, and turns out it's actually really easy! So today I made a DLO explaining how to add fractions yourselves.
Next time with my DLO, I might use something different to explain my learning because I always make a slide and/or a screencastify.

So, has this helped you understand adding fractions? I hope it did. Bye!

Choir

Yesterday, the YMS the year 6 to 8 choir went to Avonhead school for a practice with the other school choirs. It was really fun. It was great to run through some of the songs I didn't really know. My favourite song was 'Africa'. It's really catchy. Also while I was there I saw a few people who I knew. I was very tired afterwards, and my thumb starting hurting a lot because I had to hold my book for a very long time.

Here is a photo of us at the choir practice:

I'm Back!

If you were wondering, where I've been, well I have a broken arm.

Straight after school, on Tuesday the 15th, I decided to go on the trampoline. Usually I can do cartwheels really well, but... not on that day. I was bouncing and bouncing and started my cartwheel. As soon as my arms were straight, I started coming down. Just before I landed I knew it wasn't going to end well.

I landed and then... SNAP! Yes, I heard my arm snap. With a high-pitched scream I quickly walked inside to my dad. Eventually when ambulance arrived they gave a whistle which was full pain relief. But when I opened my eyes it felt like I was in a dream because everything looked funny. But of course, before I got into the ambulance I had to say goodbye to my cat.

Because I broke both bones in my arm, I had to have surgery. All they had to do was put in three wires to straighten up my arm. This surgery was my first surgery I've ever had, so before I fell asleep I was petrified. I couldn't even control my body. It was really weird.

But now, I'm finally back at school. I'm so glad that I'm back.
