..⧈-Shapes-⧈..

.+*W.A.L.T*+.

Week 2 we are learning about geometry and shapes, What we had to do was copy a slide that had questions about shapes, it had 2d and 3d shapes for 2d, we had to how many lines of symmetry  and how many sides,  for 3d we had to find how many faces,side,vertices and edges. once we've finished we have to go back and mark it, and get the correct answers, the shapes I got wrong were...

    _∆_

-trapezoid (I didn't know the name of it.)

-Parallelogram gram (I didn't know the name of it.)

-symmetry lines for triangle

-called a rhombus a diamond.

.........

..NET..

Another shape task was to make a net..

A net in geometry is like the layout for a 3d shape, its the layout to make a 3d shape. what we had to do was make a net and put it together, 

stuff  used to make mine:

-Paper

-scissors

-sellotape 

-and a ruler.

(also sorry the Quality is very low on the camera.)

↓ the net. ↓

↓ the finished look. ↓

    ...Δ...

I used some black paper to do this, its.. semi falling apart and very small. I decided I would do a ''square pyramid" were its shape on the bottom is square.  I found it very easy to do such  a small shape with and easy net, I didn't want to do a cube because I thought heaps of others might of done one.

these two shape projects were really fun to do and helped with learning in shapes.

thank you for reading,!

post#1

So since it is April we have been learning about ANZAC (Australian, New Zealand Army Corps). and we had 4 activities to do related around ANZAC, I've decided to split it into 2 posts, each post caring the 2 different activities.

W.A.L.T

to make a diagram showing the difference between the people who went to war, and the people who stayed home and to show the similarity's.  

If you can read it because its small, here's what it says:

on the left side is the solders and on the right side is the people who stayed home.

soldiers:

-They were put in a situation their lives were put in danger.

-Their food wasn’t the best

-they were fighting for their country.

               ❊

-they got infected  because of the environment they were in

-saw a lot of death

-unclean//un kept cloths 

                         ❊

-sleeping in trenches. 

-canaries in cages

  -gun fights

 ----------------

People who stayed home:

-fear that their loved one would die

-safer than the soldiers

-only could read letters not send them 

-had clean cloths 

              ❊

- the children 

-they had more food.

-they had of fleeded the country

-they stayed at home

                         ❊

-sleeping in actual beds

-in there houses

-

    

Everyone had a hard  time when war was. The soldiers had to deal with absolutely unimaginable  pain, diseases, dead, shell shock, and much more. But their family also had to go through stuff as well, losing their loved ones. And sometimes even probably had to hide away. They both had contributed, nurses, soldiers and all.

W.A.L.T

to make a character web based of of the Poem.. "my Daddy's A solider'"

Pick either the mother or the Daughter to write about.

Here is my Character web, I did it based off of the daughter, and how she is feeling then I explained why she was feeling that way.

._-Procedural writing-_.

.+W.A.L.T+.

For literacy we had an assignment about Procedural writing, were we had to pick a topic to very specifically  explain how to do that topic. as well as doing a piece of writing we also  do a video of us preforming  that topic  as well as subtitles to go along, there is also a rubric the teacher fills out when we've submitted it. I did my Procedural writing about ''how to protect your aviary budgies from mites:

_-Writing-_

_-Video-_

I filmed this video on a smaller device (a phone.) so the birds wouldn't get to scared, the quality is very low on the video, and the subtitles kept on going landscape and I didn't know how to adjust them.

the subtitles say: first get a bag of DE NZ (diatomaceous Earth New Zealand)

:Get a small cup and open the bag of DE NZ and get the cup and scoop some DE NZ Powder into the small cup.

:Bring the cup of DE NZ powder to the aviary and walk inside with the cup of powder, make sure close the door behind you!

: Pinch the powder in the cup and keep it on your fingers.

:use that finger that has the powder in them to smudge on the perches 

:use that powder on your finger and smudge it on the perch 

: do that to all perches 

:and if you can, try get the powder on your fingers and carefully place it on the budgies

:If you have birds nests you can pinch the powder and rub it around the entry of the nest

           here is the rubric.

..+<>Area and Perimeter<>+..

..-------------...

So for the past 5 days we've been doing learning in maths based around area and perimeter.

On Wednesday and Thursday we had assignments to do perimeter and area worksheets and then when we've finished those we did a Digital Learning Object  using area and perimeter. 

what we had to do was draw out our house and measure all of the rooms (the area of the house) and the outside of the house (the perimeter of the house.) here's what I've done.

We are currently building a house so I've kind of seen what house plans tend to look like, but this is  of the house we're living in.  I used a bunch of colours for this, not that the rooms actually are those colours, I just used colours that reminded me of those rooms in the house, like how the kitchen has colours of yellow and green, I did those colours because their the colour of my favourite pasta (fettuccine.) 

I started of sketching my room then I was basically running around the house looking at how the  rooms were exactly so could try and draw them exact, when I was finished  drawing the house I showed my mum and she said it was good except one thing, I had drawn the office in the wrong  space so there ended up being an empty room! but mum said that that empty room I had drawn was where the office really was, so I had a quick examine of the office and she was right so I sketched and adjusted the room mistake then came back to my mum and showed her, I was finished with my sketch so I compared it with the real house plan and it seemed pretty correct. 

after I drew the house out digitally on google draw, my mum helped me measure all the rooms and then I had to times that area, which was the hard part. but my dad taught me a strategy of how to work it out it took a couple of tries but I finally got it, I would check to see if my answers were right with a calculator and if not mum would come and checked the answers and go through explaining that I had done wrong. I got the hang of it but I kept making mistakes like doing 0x4= 4 when it was 0 and I also often made this mistake: 3x3=6 when its 9 because I kept on forgetting its multiplication and not addition. I did that by hand but then it came to adding up all the rooms to find the total of the whole house area (not including the hallway thought.) I used a calculator for that one. For the perimeter mum helped me measure the outside wall then helped figure out the strategy, I ended up adding the total perimeter of the whole house by myself with only using a calculator to check if I was right but I did it by hand because finding the perimeter, to me it was easier that finding the area.

I am proud that I challenged my self to work out  these maths problems that I would of seen as hard and challenging and they were challenging but know how to do them.  I 'm happy I worked out these maths problems by hand,  (only for the area total I had used a calculator.) but now I know two new strategy's. this was a really cool project to do and very fun.

Total area of house (not including the hallway.): 98.4005 m2

Total Perimeter of house: 48.184 m
