The Mintie Challenge By Kifi

On Wedensday Room 5 at Panmure Bridge School did a Mintie Challenge. We had to tear a Mintie Wrapper and see how long we could tear a Mintie Wrapper. Miss Kellett had the longest Mintie Wrapper and Henry had the shortest Mintie Wrapper. Miss Kellett's Wrapper was 1.12 m but Henry's was 19 cm. My mintie Wrapper was 50 cm but I still had alot of fun.

Rachel's was the longs mintie wrapper in the class
and Henry's was the shortest wrapper out of all of us.
Luckily I bet some people in our class.
It was a tie between Tyler and Dallas.

Making 3D Nets

This week we are investigating the 3D shapes. Today we made 3D nets out of paper and then we were partnered up to make a cube using kebab sticks / toothpicks and wine gums. Check out our movie and this rich maths activity. At the end of making the 3D cube, we had to measure one edge and then multiplied the number of edges altogether. Check out our movie.

The Mintie Challenge

This week we had a Minties challenge in which we had to rip a Mintie wrapper ensuring we kept it in one piece. The person with the longest wrapper was the winner. It was a great measurement activity and really tested out our patience at ripping a wrapper. We are also in the process of graphing our results. Check out our movie on this fun Maths activity.

Jonah Lomu was born in South Auckland May 12 1975 and his parents were Tongan. He went to tonga for five years to learn about his culture. Jonah Lomu got all the diseases when he was a young boy. When he was nine he was very big and he had to run behind the car when they went to church. Jonah got pulled him out of school and Jonah went to Wesly college in Pukekohe because he had no company and he had heaps of trouble. He ran a 100 metres in 10 .8 seconds. He weighed 116 kilograms and his height is 1.96 metres tall.When he was nineteen he got selected for the All Blacks to play against France. He played two games on the wing and he has especially bad memories from the second game in Auckland, when he missed vital tackles. It was a hard introduction to top rugby for Jonah, and he nearly turned to league. But then came the 1995 rugby world cup, and he was selected for the black jersey again. All Jonah wanted to do was put on the black jersey and show everyone that he could score tries and fiend.
