It is the year, 1996. Long, oversized coats as snug as a bug are the fashion right now and if you’re into your music, Bon Jovi is your medicine. Down at the swamp, where the locusts swarm through the overwhelming drying summer’s day, gathered the contestants for the annual swamp meet. Competing this year are Shrek and Ronald McDonald, Calvin and Mr Mouse and Batman and Robin.”Competitors……….get ready.” The announcement rang, echoing throughout swampland.”First partners to take the floor……...Calvin and Mr Mouse.”

“Right, you take my lead,” ordered Calvin.

“Ummm….don’t think so,” replied Mr Mouse.

“So think so!”

“I have Mr in my name so you are the female.”

“No way!”

“So way!”

“We’re through!”

“Typical female….?”

Calvin stormed off leaving a Mr Mouse feeling stunned and isolated.

WALT the 6 thinking hats.

We have gon on to PIC Collage and Adobe Voice to show you what the 6 thinking hats mean.

I chose PIC Collage:

The Black Hat:Is all of the negative things. When you use it you might ask yourself; what might go wrong?

The white hat: is all of the facts. When you use it you might ask yourself;What things will we need?

The red hat: the emotional things: When you use it you might ask yourself;How do I feel about this right now.

The green hat:The ideas: When you use it you might ask yourself;What is possible?

The blue hat:agenda: When you use it you might ask yourself; what do we do next?

The yellow hat: optimism; When you use it you might ask yourself;why will it work

Fractions

WALA equivalent fractions.

I learned that 1/2 is the same as 2/4, that also mean that 5,000,000/10,000,000 is the same and 1/2!

Writing

WALT Write a formal letter.

We wrote to the Hastings District Council to tell them our opinion about the changing speed limit form Hastings to clive.

I thought they should change it back to 80ks because lots of kids like me bike on that street.
