I put 21 into 3 groups which is 7 in each group so 2/3 of 21 will be 14 because it is 2 of the 3 groups and there is 7 in each group and 7+7= 14.

Report on production Wrote by Phoebe

I was so nervous it was the night of the production well the panto pandemonium the name is. I shouldn’t of been nervous the cast should of well they were.

Baddies, cow boys, fairies lots of pretty little costumes that the other classes wore but me my class room 11 was baddies. Everything on us was black yes I said it black! We even had to have black paint unlike room 10. The girls got to wear pretty white clothes and the most beautiful eye makeup. Before the show we waited in the small theatre royal it was just a stage and lots of seats nothing like the big stage and theatre we were going to dance on the TSB show place where we are dancing. On the first night my grandma. Granddad and great grandma was coming.

This is it we were walking up to the stage. We had to be dead quiet because mikes were on and the audience could hear everything we could say. When we got on the hard rock seats we started the groaning, then the room 5 music started. In my tummy the butterflies’ cage opened they flew out but on our dance they started to dance as well inside my tummy. It was so exciting seeing the dances and the costumes and of course performing in front of an audience!

After our dance when we went back on our seats the groaning started. We knew what it would be like because we rehearsed it at school like 10 times. The seats were concrete rock and on the second night worse of all me and Aimee got moved down to the 3rd to bottom row witch was like being on the bottom row. Me and my friends were so annoyed that we didn’t get the part, I was in the finals for audiences but I was away on the audience day. But at lest we had fun and we got to do the show.

This was my last production for me and all my year 5 and 6 friends well at lest we enjoyed it. Still lots more audiences for next time!

Jak's Braids - Jordyn

Jak’s Braids

 Reporter Jordyn

Last night Farmers let out their new product-Braids off the shelves. They had hundreds of people waiting, little ones sneaking into line just so they wouldn’t be last in line.

The braids can suit anybody. People with short hair and long, if you have three favourite colours Farmers is the place to go. You can choose your right colours that suit you.

Also they are the cheapest thing out. They are only $1.00-$1.50

The makers are Jordyn who is nine years old, Amy who is ten years old and Kate who is nine years old too.

Bustling Crowds - Amy

Braids
After weeks and weeks of waiting a new shop in centre city has opened up. The FUNKY new shop is called JAK’S braiding store. They sell all sorts of FUNKY, colourful braids and the great thing about them is they are only $2.00 each. JAK’S are stationed on 27 Devon street east. The braids are very new and exciting.

The young and talented designers and makers are: Kate , Amy  and Jordyn . Their workshop is very organised and tidy.

 They are made with the highest quality wool of New Zealand and finest beads of India. They plait the wool and attach the beads in the most peculiar patterns. But the braids only work with the special expensive wool and beads.

Emily the shop keeper said, “We have had to stay open 24/7 lately to get all the new deliveries”.

The product is suitable for kids aged 5 years up. Don’t let toddlers get at it otherwise they will choke on the beads or swallow the wool. They are all different colours, shapes and sizes.

Buy your braids today at Frankley School.

Bookmarks! Reported by Anton

The finally of the wait was made the countdown was hit no one could wait to buy the new bookmarks. The day the next morning was too good to be true! The line made Mt Everest look small every one was waiting for this once in a lifetime moment people slept out side of the store just to get first in line. Every one was waiting for the magic words go go go!

You can find the designers at Room11 Frankley school New Plymouth New Zealand/ Aotearoa. With your help we can believe in our selves again and make a profit as well.

These awesome bookmarks are priced at $1.00 a reasonable price. Because the bookmarks are computer made the chosen themes were Star wars, Halo and cute animals the people’s choice was Sport, Transformers, Surfing and elements. The designers gave the survey to 32 people to find out the preferred data. The most voted theme was Star wars (My favourite) with 11 votes. The pictures on the bookmarks are computer generated.

The bookmarks were looking great they were just the right size they were about 5.6 inches. The fine print was divine no one knew what

What font they used most people in the world would come to Frankley school just to buy a bookmark because the bookmarks were so great that as soon as you use one you might faint. The idea of making these products one of the  other groups made bookmarks to there group is best of best they made hand painted bookmarks the other groups in the class are making Sherbet, teddy bears, scarfs, Crayons and pen and pencil holders. The inspiration came from Mrs McA a very good teacher and inspiration. Most people went for bookmarks than the other groups because computer genius Anton R was starting the group with a bang that’s is Why the bookmarks are so good and life like.

51 divide a by 3

well first i split 51 into 30 because ten 3's go into thirty, that leaves 21, so I can get 7 3's from 21, that means from 51 I can get 17 3's.

10.11
today i am solving 57 divided by 3 first i split them into two groups 30 and 27 - then I work out how many threes are in each of these and join them together.

Woo hoo - did we get that feeling today when we sold our products?

Hi everyone

Today we sold our products to see if we could make a profit and we did! We have talked about the woo hoo feeling when you do something and you just feel so happy and proud and I think we achieved that today - as with everything there are a few things we could improve on if we did it again but mostly I thought we all did a good job. What do you think? Mrs McA 

Use the thinking hats to help you explain your thoughts

Can you think of a very good question?
