Term 2 Week 3

I have started off this week very well after a week being sick, and I do feel quite happy to be back at school. So first up this week on Monday was the assembly. I suppose the length was a bit long, as usual. Mr. McCabe talked about the "Stay off the grass" problem, and he was pretty happy that everyone happily complied with schools ask. Also there were are tonne lot of people who received shine badges which I was really happy about. After that we had a game of volleyball, which was quite fun. We first learnt about the different types of hits, then had to find a partner to practice with. We started off slow and steady, with a few small hits. Then we eventually started doing small serves. We did find it quite easy after you get used to it, and especially if you keep persevering. At last, we had a quick game between two different courts. With each side there were 6 players, rotating between each opposite serves. The game started, and we all tried our best. The atmosphere of the scene was intense... With each serve, we all hoped that the ball will make it through to the other court without hitting the net or going out. As the other team swings back there arms, I get ready to hit the ball back. Is the ball going to make it through? Yes... Did we hit the ball back? No. Our team became a group of psycho's running around the small court like ants thinking that it would magically hit the ball back to the other side... Okay, enough of the intense atmosphere. Let's talk about maths. Our next maths topic is fractions and decimals. It was really amusing thinking to myself like "I know this from last year, but why can't I remember? .-.". Urghh... I was stuck on some of the easiest questions, cause my brain just wasn't really working on that day. But anyways, I revised on some of my errors. Here are a few examples: What is the place value of the 4 in 539.634? First, you look at what column the four is in: 539.634. As you can see, the 4 is in the thousandths column, so the answer is 4 Thousandths. Here is another example: Order these decimals in ascending order(Lowest to Highest) 12.00334, 12.00453, 12.0000, 12.12. Basically, to work this out all you have to do is look at the first number and find the smallest. If the first number are all the same then you can look at the next number. By using this technique, the answer should look exactly like this: 12.0000, 12.00334, 12.00453, 12.12. On Wednesday our school had band camp, and more than half of the class were missing. The rest of us just caught up ahead of work, and also watched a movie called "Jumanji". This movie was about a small boy called Alan Perrish. His father was the owner of Parrish shoes, which was a very big company. After getting chased by bullies, Alan heard a drumming sound near a construction site. He digged a mysteriously looking box out of the dirt and attempted to open the locked box. Inside the locked box was a even smaller looking box. He took the box home with him, and opened it. The box that he found was called Jumanji. Basically it is a board game for those who seek a way to leave there world behind. Once you begin then you have to finish the game. So that's basically the movie. On Friday afternoon, we had a japanese lesson. For this lesson, we learnt about three different japanese writing: Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana. Kanji was originated from China, and the each word has its own meaning. The class was quite interesting because I already know Kanji(Kind of the same as Chinese writing). The three words we(the other people) learnt were:
山 水 魚 森 火
 Mountain       Water        Fish           Forest        Fire


Android App Development:
So with the past few days I have been developing an app called T.A.I School Management. This app allows teachers to do certain activities on the go using his or her phone. Some functions include: Class Attendance, Planning Calendar, Staff Chat, Emergency Notifier, Lock down Notifier and Fire Notifier.
