Byron H @ Greymouth High School

This week it has been quite busy with finishing off lots of work like maths and some Titanic work. We started a new piece of maths. It was just like last weeks but we had to choose something else to focus on. I was doing long division. Here is my DLO on how to do it. We were on assembly this week and I was chosen to tell them a piece of my titanic work. This is mine. I read out a time line from when they had sea trials to when it sank to the bottom of the ocean. 2nd April 1912 The Titanic started its sea trials to see if it was ready to go over the seas and go far distances 3rd April 1912 The Titanic arrived in Southampton after a long ride to get there 10th April 1912 9:30 - 11:30 am The passengers started arriving in Southampton to board the Titanic and find their rooms 10th April 1912 Noon The Titanic set off on its maiden voyage but no one new what was going to happen next 10th April 1912 11:40pm The Titanic started to scrape on the iceborg and sta...

I was put into a group that made Moko on tribes generals faces so they could get food and water because they lived on a hill edge and the food wasn...
