Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm fairy tales are stories that are made more gruesome than the other fairy tales. 

At the end of Snow white:

Then a pair of red hot iron shoes was brought into the room with tongs and set before her, and these she was forced to put on and to dance in them until she could dance no longer, but fell down dead, and that was the end of the wicked queen.

At the end of Rumpelstiltskin:

When soon afterwards the little man came in ans asked, "Now Mistress Queen, what is my name?" At first she said, "Is your name Conrad?"

"No."

"Is your name Harry?"

"No."

"Perhaps your name is Rumpelstiltskin?"

"The devil has told you that! The devil has told you that!" Cried the little man, and in his anger he plunged his right foot so deep into the earth that his whole leg went in; and then in rage he pulled at his left leg so hard with both hands that he tore himself in two.

How to tell if you can divide a number by 6

 How to tell if you can divide a number by 6:

Rules:

• You have to be able to divide it by 2

• You have to be able to divide it by 3

• It has to be an even number

	2	3	6
468	✓	✓	✓

This number (above) can be divided by 2 because it is an even number

To tell if it can be divided by 3 we need to break it up like this: 4+6+8=18 and can 18 be divided by 3: 18÷3=6 So yes it can be divided by 3

If it can be divided by 2 and 3 it can be divided by 6

So yes this number can be divided by 6!

Broad park to Spencer park 7 km run

Tuesday the 15th of June 2021...

I woke up in the morning and felt excited, yet nervous. I was going to do a 7 km run today with half the class! I was about to put on my school uniform when I realized that we were allowed to wear mufti as long as we could run in it. I quickly chucked on some running clothes I had organized the night before and wet to get breakfast.

At school:

Once I was at my classroom I signed in with the teachers and walked over to talk with my friends about what was going to happen this morning. I found out that we would be driven by parents to Broad park, then we would run 7 km to Spencer park. When we got to Spencer park we would have a BBQ and stay there for the rest of the day.

Mr. Redmond told us to get our bags and meet at the basketball/netball courts. Once everyone was at the courts we got organized into groups of about 6, to go into parents cars. My mum, Rose, was one of the parent drivers so some of my friends and I all got into our car and drove off. When we thought we were at broad park we got out. But there was no one there! We realized that we were at Broad haven park, not Broad park! We got redirected and we finally made it to Broad park.

When we got sorted into groups, I found out that I was with Freya's mum, Felicity, was the adult we were going to be running with. Everyone in my group was; Camryn, Maea C, Cody, Ashton, Rocky, Freya, and I.     

The run was very long and tiring but in the end we got to Spencer park. We ran most of the way and I was happy that we were finished.

I was exhausted!

A trick to division

 E.g. 3585 ÷ 3. Can it work?

First split the numbers up like this:  3  5  8  5,

Then add them together:  3 + 5 + 8 + 5 = 21,

Now divide 21 by 3:  21 ÷ 3 = 7,

If we can do that then 3585 ÷ 3 can work.

Then you can work out the answer!

The answer for this question is 1195.

The hero's journey

Today at literacy we learned about the hero's journey. A hero's journey is what the hero in a book or a movie does and what challenges she/he has to face. To explain this I am going to use harry potter's hero journey.

In the hero's journey there can be at least 11 stages.

1. He/she is living a normal life - harry potter had a reasonably normal life at the start, living with his Aunty, Uncle and Cousin. Harry's parents had died from magic but Harry didn't know that, Harry had been told they died in a car crash.

2. The call to adventure, something happens that make the hero want to leave and go on an adventure - Hagrid arrives on Harry's 11th birthday and tells Harry he is a wizard and he is invited to go to hogwarts.

3. Refusal to the call, sometimes the hero decides that they will not go on the adventure - Harry potter doesn't refuse the call, he is sick of living with his Aunty, Uncle and Cousin, so he leaves.

4. Meeting a mentor/friend (to help you) - Harry meets Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, (on the train) who help him get to where he needs to be, and helps him with his learning.

5. Departure, leaving his normal life to the special world - Harry and his friends go on the boat and cross over into the magical land of hogwarts.

6. Tests, allies, enemies - Harry has lots of tests to see if he is ready for hogwarts, he gets enemies - Draco Malfoy, Professor Severus Snape, Lord Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange.

7. Crisis point, something very bad happens - Harry and his friends believe that Snape has found a way past Fluffy, so Harry, Ron, Hermione rush to stop him from taking the life-giving Philosopher's stone, which the believe he intends to give to Voldemort.

8. Treasure - Harry and his friends find the stone before Voldemort does.

9. Result - Harry saves Hogwarts.

10. Return, most of the time the main character returns back to his normal life - Harry doesn't go back to his life with his Aunty, Uncle and Cousin. Instead he goes back to Hogwarts.

11. New life - Everyone likes Harry and his friends now!
