We got given a sheet where we had to circle every single noun. I learnt that sad and favourite weren't nouns which is sort of weird but then I understood it. I also learnt how to find the area of rectangles and triangles.
To find the area of triangles you just do b x h divide it by 2=
To find the area of rectangles you just times base by height.
When we had netball training for AIMS and I learnt this new drill where you have one extra defender on the shooters to make them more in the circle. The hardest thing had to be passing it around the circle in and out about four times and then trying to get the ball in the goal after that. I think we did that twice. On Tuesday we learnt about African music and all the differences between their music and NZ music.
- African
- Quick tempo
- use of bongos
- A use of welcoming people
- Tells a story
We also learnt what pi is.
Pi is basically the diameter of circle that wraps around the perimeter three times and a little bit more. Pi is also known as 3.14.
We also learnt how to make a rap and use garage band to make some cool backings and beats.
I also handed in my speech. It was very hard because I did mine on a quote and I struggled at first to try and come up with three reasons but after a lot of thinking I finally started to understand. The thing that I learnt is that not every speech has to be about something that needs a lot of research but it just needs to be about something that is persuasive.
We have a book review due this term where we have to read a short story and watch the video clip to do a book review on it.
On Wednesday we learnt how to find the area of circles using what we know about rectangles. We learnt that the formula was this and that it can be simplified.
r x 2 x r x pi/2
r x r x pi
r sq x pi=
These can all be simplified. The first one you take off the two's because you times it by two and then divide it so their pointless. The secound one you can square so that there is only one r instead of two and so that is the formula. Honestly, today I learnt some of pi- 3.1415926. Today I finished four learning intentions and three learning reflections. I'm pretty sure the first one took me five minutes just to write down the date, learning intention, maths, my work,and a learning reflection so i don't understand why everyone is taking like a day to get that done.
On Thursday I had extension Maori where I made me some goals to achieve for the next term ahead. I think a few were to help my brother practice his mihi and pronunciation and to look at a number and translate it into Maori straight away. I think my other one was to say my Whakapapa mihi to the extension Maori class. I also learnt about Whaea Rangi childhood which was sort of sad but I'm glad she told us to make her understand. At kapahaka I learnt a lot about whaea Rangi probably most people can't do so that was very cool to. Now when school singing was happening our class didn't go because we were supposed to go to the college exhibition but since the first session took fifty minutes when it was supposed to be thirty it stuffed everything up. The college exhibition was so cool. I learnt heaps of cool things and was very interested in graphics, metal work, wood, french, and food so those are the things that I want to learn because I find them to be a very good interest.
On Friday we did a maths test where I learnt that when things are easy they will always get harder. I also learnt how to find the area of trapeziums. You just add the top and bottom two parallel lines and then to divide them by two to find the average and then times b x h= Base x Height=(:
Today I also learnt how to do dishes which was fun
1.-Eat some food
2.-Clean the table
3.-Do the dishes
At Tech arts it was sad because my partner that I was doing my rap with was away so I had to do by myself.
In the afternoon we has Inter-house Jump jam which was fun. I learnt that it is much harder than you think.
Sorry that I haven't kept you guys updated. I have just been so busy lately.BUY!!!!!!
