All Hell Breaks Loose


 It all started in the year 2000. I was in highschool it was my first year.

 As Molly and I were biking home from school one day we heard a bang, like something crashed. Molly and I biked to my house as fast as we could. We got inside and tried to turn on the lights but the electricity was blown. I said to Molly “I wonder if the bang crashed our electricity. As Molly and I walked into the kitchen there were broken plates all over the floor. We immediately rushed upstairs and gathered up all our stuff and started walking while trying to forget what had just happened.

 2 years have past and we came across this town called Kaiapoi. We had been living there for around 136 days and then at 12.00pm we heard another big bang. We ran and ran and ran and then we came across this big long steep hill running in horror we rolled down the steep hill and at the bottom of the hill there was a big black creature with large red eyes. Running away as fast as I could trying not to get caught I jumped behind a big dirt pile. Breathing heverly I hear a scream then i look back with my heart pumping out of my chest nether Molly or the creature were there panicking while running back to kaiapoi to tell the news.

 13 years have passed since the inserdentand i have seen no sign of Molly. But as i woke up on may the 25 2015 I saw it the biggest fear of my life the town slowly burning to pieces. With the army all around and army helicopters. I grabbed my stuff and ran. I ran down this steep hill and into this place called christchurch.its been one year since the war and my life is spectacular.

 And I would not change a thing. But I wish I still had Molly.

Maths Strategy

We are learning to:

Change improper fractions to mixed fractions, e.g. 37/7 = 5 2/7.

Know fractions and percentages in everyday use.

Find fractions of whole numbers, e.g. 3/4 of 24 = , 3/4 of ...... = 21.


Here is some work that shows my learning:





Teacher Comment:

Presley, you have shown that you can convert fractions from mixed fractions to improper fractions and vice versa. You can identify fractions in everyday use and can convert between fractions, decimals and percentages. Well done!
Your next step is to use your knowledge of fractions to work out how to order mixed fractions.
