On Monday our team, rooms 1,2,and 3, went up to the tech block to make a boil up. We all had jobs that we had to do. Mine was washing the watercress. As well as making the boil up, we also made things like poi, flowers made of flax, carvings and some other things, to celebrate maori language week. When the boil up had finished cooking, we all went into the music room and ate. I only had some bread because the rest didn’t look that yummy!
For maths I was way behind because I went to Belmont but I am not behind now. I’ve learned that when translating a shape, you have to put the horizontal move first then the vertical, eg- (4,7) would be 4 to the right and 7 up. If you want to write left and down, you put a ‘-’ before it eg- (-4, 7) would be 4 to the left and 7 up. (4,-7) would be 4 right 7 down, because of the little mark. (-4,-7) would be 4 left and 7 down.
For writing, last week we had to edit our final argument. When I got my work back from Mrs Crowe, I was kind of surprised, I thought it was going to be full of mistakes, but it only had a little. One thing I do need to work on is putting commas where they are needed, because she kept writing incorrect use of comma or something.
We have also been doing ‘Showing not Telling’, which I find kinda hard because I suck at it, but I think I am getting better.
My goals for next week:
- To stay up to date with my maths. I will do this by concentrating hard on it, and not getting distracted.
- To make a good poster, with my group, Lauren and Mia. We will do this be working well as a group and not mucking around.
- To get a goof mark in the test for the college. I will do this by concentrating on the test, and not getting distracted.
