Why sports is better than music
Some people may think that music is better than sports, and although that is their opinion, sports has so much more benefits.
Firstly, sports makes you run around and actually socialize, and while that's happening you'll probably lose a bunch of weight!
Secondly, there are many varieties of sports such as rugby, touch, tennis, soccer, squash, and so much more.
Thirdly sports relieves so much stress. When you get involved in sports, you take your mind away from school homework and all that work.
Conclusion: Some people may think that music relieves stress, but unlike sports you could get so many cuts and blisters. If schools were to stop sports events, there would be a lack of muscle development in students. Sports is also great practise for strength, speed, and agility. Schools need more sporting events for the physical and mental wellbeing for students

Jai's Activity Sheet Stage 7 Fractions Overview
Fractions, Proportions and Ratios
Stage 7 Overview
I can solve stage 7 problems.
Learning Outcome: I can... | Problem to solve | Thinking and Answer |
Use a range of multiplication and division strategies to solve problems with fractions, proportions and ratios. | 1. Convert the following improper fractions to mixed number fractions: a.214 = 5 ¼ b. 152 = 7 ½ C.2710 = 2 7/10 | |
2. Convert the following mixed numbers into improper fractions: a. 4 23 b. 3 12 = 7/2 c. 3 35 18/5 | ||
3. Write these fractions in their simplest form: a.515 1/3 b. 1025 2/5 C.416 1/4 |

Fractions, Proportions and Ratios
4. Find the missing number in these to make these fractions equivalent: a.25 = ?20 = 5 b. 58 = ?40 =10 c.56 = 25? 5 | ||
5. In a bag of marbles, we find blue marbles, red marbles, and yellow marbles in a ratio of 6 : 1 : 2. If the bag of marbles contains 22 yellow marbles, how many marbles are there in total? | Thinking: blue red and yellow in ratio of 6:1:2. 22 yellow then how many in totally 22 divided by 2 = 11 meanin they times it by 11, so then there are 99 Answer: 99 | |
Convert and rename common fractions, decimals and percentages. | 6. Fill in the blanks so the fractions, decimals and percentages are all equivalent: Fraction Percentage Decimal 1 2 0.5 = 1.05 75% 0.75 = 0.50 10% = 10??? 0.25 = 0.5 |

Fractions, Proportions and Ratios
Can find fractions of whole numbers using multiplication and division facts. | 7. There are twenty one bottles of honey for sale and three sevenths have sold? How many jars have been sold? | Thinking: 21 bottle 3/7 sold are sold. 3x7=21 so 7 are sold Answer 7 |
8. There are forty trees in the orchard and four fifths of them are apple trees. The rest are pear trees. How many apple trees are there? | Thinking: 40 trees ⅘ are apple Rest are pear Answer: 32 are apple and 8 are pear | |
Can add and subtract fractions with the same and different denominators. | 9. Rachel ate one eighth of the cake. Leo ate five eighths of the cake. How much cake is left? | Thinking: rachel ate ⅛ leo ate ⅝ 6/8 gone Answer: ¼ |
10. In the surfing shop, 25 of the surfboards are shortboards and 310 are longboards. What fraction are either shortboards or longboards? Show your working out.
| Thinking: ⅖ shortboard 3/10 long 7/10 Answer: 7/10 total 3/10 short 4/10 long |

Why we need a new senior playground
Dear: Mr. Tetzlaff, the current state of the playground is really dangerous.
First of all, the poor choice of color and material is really poor and risky. if someone were to trip and fall, they'd go straight to the Sick Bay. Maybe you could've gone with something softer than steel?
Secondly, there's absolutely no fairness. The junior playground is massive, its even decked with a rock climbing wall, a few small square huts, and most importantly a massive circular tube!
Don't even get me started on the middle school playground.
They have so much stuff that I can't even list them all off! They have a swing, an obstacle course, a slide, and a spider web!
Thirdly, its very boring. Not only the color scheme, but the actual contents are boring! All there are is 2 risky heights which keep in mind, are restricted. and some monkey bars...
Lastly the heights are unrestricted, in the playground you could be pushed by a kid at any moment. By the way, if you're on duty look under the rock climbing wall in the senior playground.
