Maths: Cone crazy

Tuakana Cone crazy 23/06/2017



Today I just finished playing this activity, teaching me my times table. Although I already know it, I just wanted to see if I still remember it off by heart and well I still do. In the game I was given a question and then I had to answer it by scooping up the ice cream and putting it in the cone, ready for the penguins to take it. This game is a good learning tool because it can help those who are in need of learning their times tables. Honestly I have to say that this was a really good game for me.

I actually liked this game because I got 100% by answering 20 questions in my 8’s timetables in just 1 minute and 24 seconds. I am proud of myself for getting the highest score there can be in this game.

The view

Tuakana The view 09/06/2017





“There is no better feeling in the world than being up here” the pilot thought to himself. He pressed a series of buttons, ensuring the aircraft was on the right course, and sat back in his seat to enjoy the view. The sight that met his eyes never ceased to amaze him, no matter how many times he had done this flight. The view to him was a everyday thing but just looking at this one, it made him feel alive with joy filling up his body. He couldn’t imagine what life would be like without being a pilot. He knew this wouldn’t last long so he took his time to enjoy what he was seeing and feeling inside of him.


As the temperature decreased, he tended put a jacket on to keep himself warm during the cold winter night. As the night hit for him, he then put it on auto pilot and enjoyed the rest of his night sleeping away and enjoying the view.

How to play gutter board

Gutter board is a game that requires concentration and consistency in order to get a score. When playing this game there must be determination so that the ball hits onto the board to get a score. In a game of gutter board there has to be at least 2 or more players according to how many boards you are playing with. If you are able to follow the rules and not be too rough then you will be able to have a great game.

Firstly when playing gutter board you must include any small ball like a tennis ball or a really bouncy ball and obviously a 60 cm long gutter board . The board must be a triangular prism with 2  faces with a side facing the opponent and yourself .

Now the line comes in. There must be 4 lines spread equally one after another. It must be 1 meter apart. On the first line the board must be hitted 15 times. Then on the second line the board must be hitted 10 times. After that on the third line the board must be hitted 5 times then the fourth and last line recommends 3 hits to win.

When going to hit there must be straight aim to make sure the ball hits the board.

It gets quite difficult but it will get easy somehow if you keep hitting a ball on something or by throwing. If you are able to follow these steps, you can become a great gutter board player.

Today I finished doing this activity called the underground. As I was reading the passage, it wasn’t really clear because I couldn’t understand it. It did take some time for me to answer the questions however it was hard at this time. I got ¾ . Maybe next I will try hard to get them all right.

Today I did this activity having to do with reading. It was really easy because I could really understand what the passage was trying to say. This did help me though because while I was reading the text I had to think beyond the text to try and figure out the correct answer. It was hard trying to understand it but I managed to get it done.

There I was lying helplessly on the cold hard ground, calling out for HELP so many times that I couldn’t remember. I waited and waited for hours but everything stood still. The tree’s weren’t waving at me nor branches falling from the long and tall tree’s. It was just peace and quiet with exactly no sound or rain.

Hours and hours past by and still no help or helicopter came by me so I had to take action not knowing what awaits me in the distance. So I got up out of my misery and tried to get out of this disaster. On the way grey clouds started to appear and thunder was heading straight for me so I hurried it up. The path was bumping and very steep with no other path to hop on. Hours later my eye’s started to close with my throat dried out, I was so dehydrated I could barely breathe properly, but I didn’t want to stop now because of how close I was.

My hands were shaking as it hit onto night and my lips dried out. 5 minutes later it started to rain. As one droplet of rain hit against my skin I finally felt alive. I did take a zip and went to find shelter. It took me a while until I found this cabin with smoke coming out of it. I quickly swung my legs to the cabin for warmth. As I entered the cabin, there was nothing but a small little bed, bucket of water and a little fire place. I didn’t know if anybody lived here so I took the risk and stayed the night. I did see some clothes too so I put those on and left my other clothing to dry out for the morning.

The next morning I woke up with a freight, not only seeing 1 person but 4 men and 1 lady standing there watching me sleep. I wasn’t sure what to say so I just stood up and stomped right through the door, until I came back asking for directions. At least one of them were able to show me. It took awhile for me to get them to reason with me because well I was lost and didn’t know what to do. So they were generous enough to show me the way, well only one of them.

We then headed out for a exciting journey back home. We had conversations, played some games and well we did have to grip on each other for some bits on the way. While we were walking something was lurking in the shadows. I didn’t know what it was but I could feel the presence of something. As we kept coming something suddenly came out of the shadow’s chasing us. I ran and ran for a long time trying to get away from the white puffy wolf chasing us.


By the time I stopped, I lost my friend. I didn’t know what to do or what I was thinking till I saw houses. Plenty of houses. I was finally home, I could even see my home. As I ran back home I could hear my name. It was my friend lying in the cold weather, tired out of misery. I helped her up and managed to carry her home.

Personification Poem

Personification Poem

I come in many colors and always scrape my leg,
I do tend to give things a strong push and as always it goes through.
I am always hurt but never seem to show otherwise they’d use me more.
I always cry that makes me shine and in the end I am lifted to reach the sky

I am banged sometimes like a nail and are very fast like baby cheetahs
I hate getting hurt cause I lose my colour then ending up in Hospital.
I am always looking at green and have many friends like me.

In the end I smile with pride with bruises and sores all over my body
I am squeezed very hard but the pain goes away fast
If I am fast and can pass things on ground


What am I ?
