Next we added the tens togather wich is 20 + 20 + 10=50. Next we added the tens and ones togather which is 50+17=67.
Now we know she practised for 67 minutes. So then we subtracted 67 from 90. 0-7 is not possible so we did 10-7=3.
Lastly we did 80-60=20 then we added that togather which is 23 so Leilani needs to practise for another 23 mins.

Later We did the QAR task. We had to answer the questions and put them into a box. The boxes were: On my own, Think and search, Author and me, and Right there.
On my own means the answer is not in the text and you came up with the answer on your own. Think and search means the answers in the text but you have to look in diffrent places. Author and me means its not in the text you have to use your background knowledge and what the author has told you to come up with the answer. Right there means its in the text and you can point to it.

My company, Design Builders, mass produced and tested to see if our party popper worked.
First We practised our harry potter design on a piece of paper then we drew it on our cup. We drew lightning bolts, Harry Potter glasses, a broomstick, and a wand. The design turned out good but we didn't draw the same design of harry potter.
Next we got the materials to build our party popper. We got long rubber bands and a half toothpick. The Design builder pushed the rubber band in through the hole in the cup and attached the half toothpick.
Lastly, the Design Builders did the weight and the filling for the weight we used on a piece of paper. For the filling we used pom poms and glitter stickers. After that we tested to see if our company's party popper works.
I enjoyed making a party popper. With Harry potter design. Our party popper didn't work properly because not all of the filling came out. Next time I'm going to use a nut.
My company, design builder, made a prototype on the party popper we designed.
First we modelled what we needed for our prototype. For example we used a medium rubber band and a thick rubber band. The medium rubber band was better because it hit the cup harder, and the thicker rubber band hit the cup softer. The most efficient rubber band was the medium rubber band.
Next we put together the parts we were going to use. We had a paper cup but decided to change it to a plastic cup because it was more efficient when using the weight. For weight we used paper because it hit the cup harder.
Last We modeled our fillings we used fuzz balls because it was easier to pick up. If we used confetti it would be hard to pick up and yarn would disintegrate. We used medium fuzz balls because they were small.
I enjoyed designing our prototype because we learnt what prototype means. I would have liked to use a nut and bolt for my weight because it's heavier and hits harder. We think we could make our party popper better if we used stronger weights.
A trebuchet is a medevil military weapon used to knock down castles.
I wrote an explanation about how trebuchets work using cause and effect sentences.
This week we were thinking of a design for a party popper.
First we thought of the parts of the party poper Mr Wong made they are, Cup, half tooth pick, folded piece of papere, connfitte, and a rubber band.
Then we write down the design we wanted on the party poper witch was paper cup, Avengers wallpaper, half tooth pick, little piece of paper, red and blue connfetti, and a big blue rubber band.
After we write rational this is what we write, We chaged the plastic cup to a paper cup because when you cut a hole in the cup it won't break apart, We chaged the outside of the cup to avengers because people at our market might like superheros,We left this the same because it hold the rubber band togethar, we didn't change the little piece of paper because it will still pop, We changed the connfetti because people in our market might like red and blue, We changed it to a big blue rubber band because it will make a bigger explosion.
This activity was hard because we couldn't think of any new designs.
Summaries are explaning what the reader thought of the book.
One type of summaries is evalute, the writer, writes their own opinion about the mechanisms.

I like this activity but I don't always understand how to answer the questions.
This week we skimmed and scanned a book called killer quakes.
Skimming is being like a airiplane and looking for keywords only. Scanning is being a helicopter and stopping on a paragraph when seeing information.
First I put in a title on and put in keywords from the book we read killer quakes we read 10 pages of this book.
Then I attributed the photos and difined one keyword from each box, they were earth plates and tsunamis earth plates are slabes of rocks and a tsunami is a big wave of water that goes many times.
Then I put in knowlege I already about earth quakes into the prior knowlege box.
Lastley I filled in Questions box and key word questions box. These questions were for what we wanted to ask and why they happend. Key questions are what the author would have needed to think about when writing.
I like this activity but finding keyword questions about earthquakes was hard.
