 The Top 10..
 1. Kakapo

 3. African elephant
 4. Grey wolf
 5. Polar bear
 6. Red panda
 7. Cheetah
 8. Snow leopard

Maths Time

In maths today, we revised how to use algorithms. We had 'word' problems that we had to work out the answer to, using an algorithm. We also did a 'Quick Quiz' where we worked out the area, perimeter and volume of some shapes (Triangular Prism etc.).
We looked at converting decimals, fractions and percentages into decimals, fractions and percentages.

Paraparaumu Trip :D

Yesterday I went to Paraparaumu with Caitlin. We went to the chocolate factory first. I got a chocolate frog and a chocolate turtle :).
Then we went to the park. We climbed all the way to the top of the spider web. We went out for lunch at a cafe. Afterards we got ice-cream. We then went to the beach. There were about ten dead fish, that were longer than half my arm! The seagulls were pecking at them, which was kinda gross..
Anyways we had a great day in Paraparaumu! :D
