Amazing Exponents

Hi it's Miriam again,

Today I am going to share with you a poster that Caitlyn and I made on Exponents. The poster is meant to explain what exponents are and how to figure out how to solve them. Here I will explain an exponent to you.

Say you have 5 with a small 2 at the top right hand corner. The 2 tells you how many times you multiply that number by itself. But what if that number is a 4? If that number was a 4 than you would do 5x5=25 and then you would times 25x5 which equals 125 and then since there was a 4 at the top we need to multiply 125 by 5 one more time, and that gives us the answer of 625.

If you still don't understand then have a look at our poster and if you still don't understand after you looked at the poster than please leave me a comment and I will try to answer as soon as possible.

Camp Kaitawa 2019

Hi it's Miriam again,

Today I am going to share with you a little bit about Camp Kaitawa. We went on camp last week and when we got back we had to write a reflection about it. This is my reflection on google slides. I hope you enjoy it.

Super School Swimming Sports

Hi its Miriam here. Today I am going to talk to you about our school swimming sports on Tuesday.

On Tuesday Nui Syndicate arrived at Enterprize Swim Club at 10:00. We all sat down on the stands and waited for the first race to begin. The pool was a heated pool so I was not scared that I was going to be cold, but I was scared that I was going to let down my coach. You see, I go to Enterprise twice a week for swimming squads so my coaches expect me to come in a placing.

The first race began with an ear piercing "BEEP!" the Year 4 Girls dolve into the pool and started there 25m freestyle. The crowds cheered as the first girl finished her race.  Then after what seemed like forever the Year 6 Girls got called up for our 50m freestyle. Standing on top of the diving block the cold metal gave me goosebumps I have to admit I was a little bit scared. With butterflies in my tummy the glass shattering "BEEP!" filled up the room. We dove into the pool and even though I was under the water the cheers from in the stands was giving me a headache. I did my tumble turn and then carried on freestyle when I touched the wall at the other end of the pool I was exhausted but happy that I finished the race but I was even more happy when the gave me the yellow stick.

I ran up to Mom and shared the news with her. She was so happy for me when I told her that I had come in second. The races went on for a long, long time after that. I competed in two other races breaststroke and backstroke. I only came a place in breaststroke though. I was so excited that I got through to the finals in two strokes.

Me and my best friend Poppy. Poppy on the right and me on the left.

In the finals was up against some of the best swimmers in our school. For breaststroke I came last and in freestyle I came forth. I was pretty proud with myself, at the end of the day I did quite well.

Bye, Blog you later.
