Reflection on Blogging

If I were to tell a class to do blogging I would tell them that blogging is really cool because you get to comment on other peoples blogs all over the world and you get to share your learning with others and they could help you make it better.

To make a good comment you must say something nice about their work and maybe ask a question so you can continue the conversation and even say something that will make their work better.

What I like about blogging is that you get to know what other classes do around the world because they might do different things to us and you get to find out what work they do.

What helps me with my learning with blogging is that you can get feed back and feed forward for your learning and they might say something that could help you with your learning or make it better.

I think blogging is great the way it is and I don't think we should make any changes.

Algebra

For maths we are doing algebra.  Today for algebra we had a problem solving activity involving a shortage of tent pegs.  Here is the problem.

The youth group are having a camp. they needed to put up tents for each team. Usually it takes eight large pegs to hold up each of their tents. This time they have a problem. They are very short on large tent pegs.

Leader: "Find some ways to put up tents that will save pegs" (Talking to the groups).

We had to work with a classmate to find a least three ways to put up ten tents.  Then we had to find out which of the ways used the least amount of pegs.

Emily and I made a way that only used 39 pegs but then Brooke came and looked at our layout and suggested that we could take some pegs away and join them to others.  Our second layout came to 36 pegs. The white bits of paper is the tents and the green counters are the pegs.  We had the least amount of pegs in the end and some people got up to 60 pegs altogether.  

Picture one is the first design:                                    Picture two is the second design:

Lee Lee the Sumatran Tiger Project

Sumatran Tiger Project

In the holidays we had to complete a task and that task was to research about the Sumatran Tiger because in Indonesia Mrs Parkinson bought a cute little plush toy that was a Sumatran Tiger and we had to find out all about the tiger so we knew about our new mascot.

We also had to make a background story to say how Lee Lee the Sumatran Tiger came to Vardon school. 

The part I most enjoyed was getting to know all about the Sumatran Tiger and making a cool project and mine was a book and I also enjoyed making the story about her.

The most challenging part was putting all the facts together and to think of a background story that describes how Lee Lee got here but in the end I figured it out all right.                     

WOW Reflection

 Wow Reflection

This term our topic is design.We had to create a outfit made of old materials and trash and we made a flash costume our costume had to be about nature and ours was the beautiful New Zealand Fantail our costume was made by myself, Sam, Latrel and our room 5 buddies Isabella, Harry and Harrison and don,t forget our lovely model who was wearing our outfit Courtney from my class.I think my group did really well and next time we will plan our costume a little bit better and Organise our Materials and Equipment.

This is one of the outfits at the Trashion show it was a outfit that lights up when you turn out all the lights and have one special light that makes the flero parts of the costume light up.

These are our awesome hoyts for the Trashion show they were amazing the hoyts were Emily from rm 12 and Natilie from rm 13.

I think we did really well and please leave a comment if you think there is anything else to work on!
