Week 10 Term 3

Nooooooooooo!!! It's the last week of school :( Most people hate it and are glad it's the end of term, but not me, I absolutely love it!!! In class for maths we only have the rest of the term for geometry so we have started transformations this week. We have learnt how to translate shapes, how to use reflections with shapes, how to rotate shapes, and how to enlarge and reduce shapes. In tech arts it was so fun going down the slippery slide, it was freezing cold though! In french we had to say our family tree and I knew it off by heart.
Voici Ma Famille

Mon grand-pere s'apple Cliff
Ma grand-mere s'apple Marion
Mon grand-pere s'apple Wayne
Ma grand-mere s'apple Kathryn
Mon pere s'apple JT
Ma mere s'apple Rowan
Ma souer s'apple Brittany
Mon frere s'apple Luke
Moi Je'mapelle Arden

For writing we have had to put our poem on you tube editor and make a video with photos. This is what I did...

In the future...

Week 9 Term 3

This week has been a chaotic week! We have had all of the people who got accepted to sports camp have gone, and some more people have gone on a skiing trip, so we have had barely any people in the class! In maths We have learnt how to find bearing, and also have learnt to understand locus/loci. Bearings are technically just finding the angle for north, south, east, and west, and locus is just drawing a path for the moving object. In reading I have finally finished and handed in my novel analysis, and have also finished and handed in my poem. In french we have briefly learnt how to say things like my mum is called ..., my dad is called ..., my brother is called ..., my sister is called ..., my grandmother is called ..., my grandfather is called .... We also had to make a family tree on a piece of card we were given, and we have to practice it at home so we can say it off by heart next week. In tech arts we finally got our trophy for the marble race champions. We are still learning about forces and motion so we got to roll down the hill in a bucket, and next week we get to go on a slippery slide. The only down side is that its freezing cold!!!

Week 8 Term 3

This week we have had all of the AIM's people go and compete for our school. I'm not quite sure what the score was but I'm pretty sure we did good. In tech arts we are learning about forces and motion, so because of that we have all done marble races. We get to go in groups of three or four and the team closest to 20 wins. My team, which was Hadlee, Grace, and me, got a time of 19.99 seconds. It was our first try and that was how close it was to 20. For maths, in class, I have learnt a small portion of maths because I finished most of it last week. We have learnt how to find unknown angles and have learnt about angles in polygons. For reading I finally finished my short story analysis, it took a while but in the end I finally finished. I still have my novel analysis to do though. We are also doing poetry in class and we have to choose one to publish, so I still have to choose what one I'm going to do. I can't decide!!!

Week 7 term 3

Hello!

This week we have learnt a bit more about geometry. We have learnt the basics about circles like the radius, diameter, segment, sector, arc, chord, tangent, circumference, etc. We have also learnt how to recognise 3D shapes, how to draw triangles, how to name and measure angles, how to draw angles, how to use a compass, how to use a compass and/or protractor to draw triangles, and have learnt about angles of a triangle. In tech arts we had these tissue tubes and we had a lighter. Mrs Tyson demonstrated and it burnt down until there was about half a centimetre left and then it flew up towards the ceiling.
See you soon!

Week 6 Term 3

This week has been a long week! In tech arts it's was our last lesson on Tuesday and then we started science on Friday. In fabric I finished my bag and then made a mouse. It has a blue base, blue ears, a black body, a green tail, and pink eyes. In science we had this white ball and when a human touched both sides of the metal it lit up. You could have two people and with one hand each on the metal, but then if you wanted it to light up you would have to touch hands. We then had to write on the whiteboard what worked and made it light up, like water, metal, table legs, etc. In french we learnt our colours like marron (brown), bleu (blue), blanc (white), noir (black), violet (purple), vert (green), orange (orange), rose (pink), rouge (red), and jaune (yellow). For maths we have started geometery and have learnt just a little bit about angles like acute, obtuse, straight, reflex, revolution, and right.

Au Revoir

Week 5 Term 3

I am so glad that speeches and cross country are nearly over! For cross country we have been practicing for the past three weeks and the track is about three kilometers. In tech arts I have nearly finished my bag and when I'm finished I can take it home. Instead of three different coloured hearts I'm just having a black letter A. In french we are learning everything that you would find in a pencil case like une caulculatrice (caulculator), une trousse (pencil case), une goumme (eraser), un stylo (pen), un feutre (felt), un crayon (pencil), etc. We have also learnt a bit of algebra because it's the last week of learning it. We have learnt how to use backtracking to solve equations, for example ... 3x-5=28. Since you going backwards you need to everything else backwards, so 3x = 28+5, 3x divided by 3= x, so 33 divided by 3= 11. The answer is x=11. We had also learnt how to find the unknown in more difficult equations, for example ... 4x =12, 4 x ?= 12, the answer would be 3 because 4 x 3=12.
