Shake Out Drill

Yesterday we did a shake out drill. First we pretended there was an earthquake and we had to go under tables for a little while. Then after that we had to evacuate the school just in case of a tsunami and go up the street and get to higher ground. This was a good practice just in case of the real thing. What would you do in that event? 

Number Pattern DLO

This week we did number patterns you can either do easy or complex. Easy is just add, subtract, multiply or double then if you want to go into complex you can put two of the operations together like in this example.
25, 15, 75, 65
What I did there is times 5 x 5 then subtracted 10 then I times 15 with 5 then subtracted ten from 75. Here is my DLO with a problem for you to solve.  Comment your answer below...

Current Events - Renaming a US streets name to...

Today we did current events, I love it when we do these quiz's because they are fun! Anyway the one that interested me the most is renaming a street to a US politician's name. Why would people want to do this I do not know. It was either Trump Avenue, President Obama Avenue and Clinton Avenue.  What one do you think it is? Comment below and I will tell you if you are correct.

Pest Invasion

This week we have been working on what effects some animals that people consider pests. My animal was the deer personally I don't think deer are pest because they are using the environment that they have been given.

Conservationists think that deer are pest and want them gone. DOC wants to get rid of some of the deer. Recreational hunters don't want them gone because they have fun hunting. Hunters Job Hunter use killing deer as a way of income so if deer DOC or Conservationists get rid of deer they won't have a job.

What do you think? Tell me down below.

Wearable Arts

For this whole term we are going to be doing wearable arts. We are making Pancake rocks and a blowhole hat so far we have almost finished the pancakes and starting the the hat. We are going to put blue cellophane and put LEDs underneath the cellophane to give it a brighter look. 

Spanish map

This week Adi and I made a map that shows 9 places in Spain like Mexico, Cuba, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Chile and much more. 
I like Costa Rica because it look beautiful. Argentina is beautiful to but it all so has the best soccer team in the world (Fun fact) did you know that the official name of Argentina is Argentine Republic. 

   

Transform DLO

Last week we did transforming shapes. By moving them for example translation is when you move the whole shape to the right, left, down, up or reflection when you mirror the shape or even rotation is when you pick a certain point of the shape and you spin it around from that point. Can you figure out this puzzle? Comment below.

Curves of pursuit

This week in maths we made mathematical art. I chose curves of pursuit I think that these really cool. You can use this kind of art on equilateral triangles, square and pentagon. There is two ways you can do this  standard hexagonal pursuit or split your hexagon into six equilateral pursuit curves. How you make it is simple you rotate the shape by 10%.

Wishtree Novel

For the last 5 weeks we have been reading the Wishtree novel. It was a really good book. It is was about a new family that moved in to the Wish tree neighbourhood and they were Muslims. The main character was Samar (she is part of the Muslim family). Samar could not make any friends so she put a wish on the tree. Red, the wish tree decided he needed to help.  To find out how he helped you will have to read the book.

This activity is an acrostic poem telling about the traditions of Wish trees. 

Statistics

Today in maths we were learning how to make graphs using google sheets.

This graph shows how many different blog posts I have made. This was interesting to see what different topics we have blogged about.  I need to try and make sure I blog on all areas of my learning.

On my second graph it shows what tools I use most on my blog. Turns out I use more photos/writing than most so I'm going to try putting more drawings and quiz's on my blog. Watch this space!
