Coordinates

The first thing I did to solve this problem is to find the x axis which is the horizontal line. Also the y axis is the vertical line. So if there is a red circle you have to say that it is -5 for x axis and -3 for y axis. This is challenging but I thank Alisi for explaining it to me by saying that I have to look at the x axis and then the y axis. What I would like to learn next in coordinates is to practice more on integers.

Three qustions

Walt: answer three questions

1. When is the best time to do things?

The best time for me to do things is when it is a good day and when my family is allowed to come with me to my house. When my family come with me to my house we do things in our spare time like playing outside, going to the beach and going to the park. But the best time is doing things that I’m not allowed to.

2. Who is the most important person?

The most important person to me is my step brother Jordan. The reason why he is the important one to me is because he cares and he always use to look after me when I was little and still when I use to beat him up. That is why he is the important person to me.

3. What is the right thing to do?

The right thing to do is to look after my baby sister. Looking after her is kind of hard because she never listens and always make a really big mess. Doing the right thing is good because when you do something right they do too.

Inequalities with Decimals

What I am learning is to find inequalities with decimals. The crocodiles mouth has to eat the biggest number. I don’t think this is really hard because it seems so easy. Learning inequalities of decimals is good because it helps me recap on what I had learn. I think that Mrs Ramklown should give us even harder work.

My reflection for term 1

Walt: reflect on my learning.

My reflections for term 1

This week we had to do three tests. We had tests on number and measurement, geometry and  statistics and also reading.

On Tuesday I had a reading test. I got a 3B on my reading which was awesome because I’m improving. I know the different language used in poetry and figurative speech and make use of previous knowledge. Next term I will have to work on finding and retrieving information. I will work on my gaps by doing my homework and reading more books to help me understand why the author wrote the story.

After the reading test we did the number and measurement test. In this test I got a 4B which means I can go to the green group for maths. I did really well with using equations to represent practical situations and continue the order of the pattern and write the rule. I have to work to devise a strategy to solve a whole number problem and to work on making sensible statements about a statistical investigations. I will try and do homework to get better.

Today we  did a test in geometry and statistics. I got a 3B and I was so proud of myself because I thought that I forgot how to do geometry and statistics but when it came to the test I remembered everything. I did really well on describing the features of 2D and 3D objects using the language of geometry and designing and making pattern using translation, reflection and rotation. In geometry and statistics I have to work on  grid references. I will improve by trying my best with the homework and getting help from others.

For term two my goal is to get above national standards and try to get 4A.

Toy

Walt: make a toy.

The first thing I did to make my toy was to plan before making it because without it you wouldn’t know what to do. When I started planning my toy I thought of my own ways to make it different. We were learning how to use mechanism to make our toy work. I had to use a mechanism to make my toy move. I used wheels and axles for my toy because I was making a toy car and it was so hard to make because you had to get all the staff you need for your toy. Getting the materials was kind of hard because we didn’t exactly have the materials we need like a stick. The difficult bit was when I had to redo the planning. When I finished I had to go and take it to the library and put it next to the wall. After the people that had went and put their toys in the library we told Mr Hendriks that we were ready for him to choose the three top toy that had the correct mechanism. The names of the kids are Mikayla, Britney and Matthew because they had a great idea. Next I would like to to learn how to do a toy on screw and wedges.

Technology

Walt: make food around the world

I really enjoyed food technology because every monday we make different cultural food. We had to make chop suey because we were heading to Tonga. I also enjoyed making chop suey because you had to mix lots of other recipes. I didn’t like making pesupo because it tasted funny to me that is why I don’t like it. Pesupo is kind of tricky to make also because you have to combined staff really quick. At home I tried making rich chocolate tarts because I told my family that it tasted so nice and that they had to try it out. When they tasted the rice chocolate tart they wanted me to make more. Next time I would love to make an Afghanistan culture food that they make for a celebration or someones birthday.
