Week 8 Review

This week I received my never give up Shine band. Two more to go then I get my bronze badge.  This week we learnt how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. I also learnt how to order fractions. In tech arts I started to bend and make things with plastic I made lots of key rings and I was going to make a box but I didn't have enough time as next week we have to rehearse for production.  For reading we had to build on our knowledge of words and learn about character traits.  For writing I did and Argument on bike helmets.

Week 7 Review

This week in tech arts I finished my letter and it looks really cool. Next we get to bend plastic to create shapes.  I had to sand my letter and glue it on then put the switch on.  In maths we are learning about fractions and things like equivalent fractions, measurements and ordering fractions. For reading we are learning about character traits like happy, caring, mean and others.  We are also extending our vocabulary with vocab worksheets.  In writing we are doing an argument writing and I finished.  On Friday we had a teachers only day which was fun.

Term 2 Week 6 Reveiw

This week we did some more on decimals.  I got a bit behind but I think I'm catching up.  We are now starting off with fraction and starting off with the basic easy stuff I'm learning how to convert fractions to measurements and decimals.  I'm almost finished my L.E.D in tech arts and I have to cut out the shape of the base I learnt how to cut bigger pieces of wood a curve it. The shape is a leaf.  Next we get to choose what we do for our next project once we finish our letter and I'm going to maybe do a box.  I'm doing well with my saxophone and I learnt a new note which was b flat.  I can tell I'm getting better. I'm doing good with my book review and visual art project. I'm learning alot about people in the holocaust and I'm figuring out how I can write my book review

Week 5 term 2 review

 We have been learning about decimals in maths like how to add, subtract, multiply and divide using algorithms.  Sometimes it took me a while to understand it fully and it took a bit of practice.  we also had to do a report writing of the holocaust and I was surprised how much I knew, and I also like reading about things that happened in the holocaust like true stories about people.  I had a page full of notes that I had done last term which helped me.  We also had Inter-house competitions on Friday and I played netball.  We had some tight games but we ended up losing all of our games but most of our team was Year Sevens and all the other teams had a least two year 8 players.  This week we didn't have tech arts on Tuesday  as our teacher had a nasty accident and the relieve didn't start till Wednesday. When we had tech arts on Thursday I got to use a scroll saw to cut out a wooden letter J.  I had to drill some holes where the L.E.D's would go, draw the circuit and put the copper tape on.  I learnt that the positive and negative pathways can't touch and L.E.D's have a short leg and a long leg the short leg is negative and the long leg is positive.
Here is a diagram of how the L.E.D works and the circuit.
