Maths work and spelling work


Room 12 has been doing some math and spelling work. Here are some photos of what we have been learning:


 On this photo, is some plural activities we have been doing. We had to change the word into a plural. In case you don't know what they are, here are the spelling rules:
  • You add 's' to the word.
  • You add 'es' to words that end in x, z, s, ss, ch, sh, and sometimes even o.
  • You change 'f' to 'v' on words that end with an f sound.
  • You changing the 'y' in words ending in 'y' to and 'i' and adding es
  • By changing the word completely
  • By leaving the word the same for both singular and plural
 It wasn't easy, though. Some of the words were trick words like 'myself', 'salmon', and 'trout'. I got all but one wrong which was 'echo'.
Here is the maths work. It is decimals, so it was exclusive for the 'Tapawha' group. (Tapawha is the Maori
word for square. Tapa meaning sides and wha meaning 4.)
I am going well, but I have my weak points.
My goal is to fix them.

  1. Hi Chayse,
    It looks like you are doing well with plurals. Could you explain some of the rules to make singular words into plurals.
    You mentioned that you are going well but have your weak points. Could you please explain what you need to practice to master the skill of adding and subtracting decimals

  2. Hello Chayse,

    I think your blog is really clever and you are very descriptive. It is such a good thing to admit your weak points as well as your successes.

    You are a very wise young student.
