Week 2 Term 3

This week two of the worst things of the year has started, cross country and speeches. For cross country in just nine days I have ran 14.6 km which is way more than I would like to have done and we are still running for another three or four weeks and then we have school cross country and then eastern zone cross country. For my speech My topic is animal rights and how some animals are being treated horribly. Mine is around about three to four minutes and we have to say it in two weeks time. In tech arts we have made pencil cases, and you get to choose a pattern you like and a zip of our choice. We had to zigzag stitch the outside and then sew the zip to it leaving the zip unzipped a little bit, and once we had sewn the sides we then had to turn it inside out by using the space from the open part of the zip. in class we have learnt a lot of algebra. We have learnt a bit about graphs and how to make one by using a pattern and a rule. I also learnt that you always need to start at x axis not the y axis. The trick is to always to remember that x comes before y in the alphabet, so you start at x axis. I have also learnt how to generate rules from flowcharts. If it say thing like subtract six, divide by two, plus seven, you would combine all of those to make a rule.
