Maths Week- Scale Drawing

 

Last week we had Mathematics week. In LS2 we were creating scale drawings. This year I drew a bald eagle with all the details and features that I could think and find, I also looked for the right colours that make my eagle stand out. I tried to do the shading around the eyes to give that bold effect. The best part about my image was the detail that I put in it. What I found hard was to drawing the grid lines. The ratio for the grid lines 1:2. I think I did better then I did last year because I tried harder to make mine look good. 

For most year 7's this was the first time they were doing it but for the year 8's this was there second time doing this so they got the hang of it. Next year in secondary school we will have similar subject, either Tech drawing or Graphics. This year I think more of my art skills have come out. 

Wheel Words

Today for Reading we were busy doing Wheel words.  In wheel words we get to try and make words up by using the middle letter. I have only used two Hints to help me out. The word I have find difficult is Robberies. What I really like about Wheel Words is that I get to learn new words.

Cook Island Language Week

This week is Cook Island Language Week. We were busy learning the basic phrases for Cook Island island. I worked with Joel and Chavda and We had a conversation with each and recorded our

selves having a conversation in Cook Island Maori. The languages they speak is Cook island and Maori.

HIIT

Today for HIIT we did warm out for about 10 seconds and we did Waliking on the spot, Jogging on the spot, Running on spot, Standing star jumps, Slow star jumps, Fast star jumps, High knee sprint, Tap Step, Mountain Climbers. 

HIIT

Today in the morning we got to do HIIT. What we did for HIIT was some warm ups and than get into our two exercise. The two exercise we had was Push up and Star jumps. What we mostly forced on was doing are push ups right and trying to do star jumps fast. What I really like about HIIT is we get challenged and we push our selves to not stop. What we also did was get into five lines.  

"PechaFlicker" Swimming

During this week we have been learning about how to make a PechaFlicker". What Iv'e learned is that when you link one story with another story by looking at pictures and that when someone is reading it they paint a picture with words to show not tell what is happening. We each made a recording of our selves telling our story. I worked collaboratively with my partner Avalon and we made a really amazing story by just exploring some pictures to go with our story. We have also been looking at different types of "PechaFlicker" like there was this one that I really like and it was about Dogs and we also looked at one about Friends and Family. It was fun to do because I got to tell a really good story with my pattern Avalon  by looking at photos. 

Wheel Words

Today for Reading my group Rotorua and Motuihe were playing a game called Wheel words. Wheel words is a game where you have to make a word by using a letter on a wheel but there's a twist you are supposed to use the letter in the middle. We were only allowed to use three (3) hits and that was it, no more then that. I really enjoyed playing this game because it challenges your brain and makes you think out side of the box. This is a link to the game so you can enjoy playing it to Wheel words
