I am poem

I am a kaimanawa horse
I wonder what’s the common distance of my gallop
I hear all the birds singing in the woods
I see as far as the ocean
I want to be the best I can be
I am amazing in everthing
I pretend that I’m a supersonic horse in a speedy race
I feel the wind fighting against me as I gallop
I touch the drenched grass underneath my hooves as I run
I worry I will get sick in this numbing cold
I cry I wont make it in the cold
I am fearless and strong
I understand that I can be mean
I say to myself be brave       
I dream I’m flying through the clouds
I try to be strong, tough, kind and the best I can be.
I hope My family finds me but for now I'm all alone
I am bolt

Reversibilty, dont subtract, add.



This is what we have been doing in room three
and for me it has made maths a lot easier.  We have been practising the strategy reversibility  - don't subtract add.


(The Math Problem)

Teone saves $536 to buy a new dvd player . The dvd player is $899.
How much does Teone need to save up to buy a dvd player.
   $536 + $363 =$899            $899 - $363 = $536.
