Enlargement

Walt: enlarge pictures

Today in class we did enlargement. This was my enlargement that I did. I found this really easy to count the square but difficult because I’m not a confident drawer. We were using a scale factor that is 2 the size of the little square. Next I want to enlarge a bow.

Reading e asttle

In reading last week I got a 4p. I thought that it was quite good from recent test. I would of liked a better score but that's how it was. I hope that next time I can get a 5. My goal was to get a 4p and higher. I just reached my goal.

Tessellation

Walt: create and name tessellation patterns.

Today in our class we learnt about tessellation. Tessellation is a pattern that has no gaps or overlaps, which means that everything fits perfectly. You also have to name a tessellation, by doing that you must pick a vertex (point) anywhere of the pattern. Count how many shapes are linked to the same point and count the sides of the shape. Start from the smallest number. This tessellation here is 4.6.6.12.

Easttle maths

The other day we did our maths test. I was quite disappointed in my score that I got. I got a 4P  but I wanted to get at least a 4A. I thought that I was prepared for the test. Although the score I got wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. I hope I will do better in the next test.

Area and Perimeter

Today I revised area and perimeter. I found it easy to find the perimeter but a bit difficult to find the area. I then realised that I just had to times the area x perimeter. I would use this activity again if I ever need to.

Haiku

In topic we are learning about haiku. It's a traditional japanese poem. It consist of 3 lines. It goes 5 syllables , 7 syllables then back to  5 syllables. I wrote my own hailu but it was hard.

The waves kissed the shore

Snatching the delicate shells,

The wind whistled past

Chess Champions

Mr Hendriks took 2 students to Wellington to play in the Chess Champions. Pareata and Sete were lucky enough to be invited. They left on a plane. They didn't win anything but they had fun. They were also lucky enough to be sponsored by BLK and got a T-shirt, jacket and rain jacket.

Lighting and Thunder.

In reading this week we have been learning about lightning and thunder, we have activities and sites all about it. I enjoy learning about the science behind lightning and how it's formed. We also do art and topic about weather.

Integers.

This is our maths that we have been learning for the past week. All this term we are revising what we've learnt over the past terms. It was easy after a while. My main concern was that I would get it wrong. I really enjoyed it and would revise it again.
