Maths - Integers

Last week my maths group had to learn about integers, there was only one person in our group who didn't know about integers at first but then they got the hang of it.  it was really fun doing maths with integers because it was like heaven and hell, positives and negatives.  Integers are negative numbers, basically they are numbers under zero.  You can plus negative numbers with each other, plus negative numbers, but if you plus a negative and a positive number like -5 + 3 you will have to make the negative number go up because of the positive numbers.  So the answer would be -2 because you are adding the positive three to the negative five.  The three pulls the -5 closer to the zero.  Subtracting is basically the opposite.  I have made a simple graph to help everyone understand.  I hope this has helped you understand integers easier.

WE ARE Poem

We had to write a WE ARE poem to show what community we are in, I chose Hornby High and I immediately knew what to write.  So this is my WE ARE poem, I hope you like it because it describes the values and teamwork of Hornby High.

Here it is:

I AM Poem

This is my I am poem, read from left to right otherwise you aren't reading it properly.  I have worked hard on this and I really hope you enjoy it, I put two lovely backgrounds in so it would look awesome and so it would show both of the different sides of me.  Here it is:

I picked 22, I had to write a made up story about a dangerous experience.  

This is my writing:

22 - A dangerous experience

I was on my way to school, and Mum was acting weirdly when she was driving.  Suddenly, she passed out! I had to steer the wheel, so I unbuckled my seatbelt and leaped into the front seat to help steer the wheel… I did it!  I managed to get mums foot of the pedal and I steered the wheel until it was safe. I got Mums phone and called 111 so she could get an ambulance…

“Hello, what’s your emergency?” The person on the other line said.“Hi, uhh yes I’ve almost been in a crash with my mum and she passed out, we are on waterloo road!  Near the school I go to, Hornby High School, I need an ambulance for my mum immediately!” I said as I panicked.  I waited and waited and… An ambulance came!!! I was never so happy to see an ambulance in my life! But… It just went right past us.  
Oh I know! I have to signal something so they know I’m here with my mum.  I take Mum out of the car onto the sidewalk so the ambulance can see Mum and I.  The ambulance sees us! I see the ambulance coming towards us…

I wake up and I’m in my bed with my mum telling me to get up and get ready for school…
