Order Of Operations

In this game I had to answer simple problems. I found this game a bit difficult as I only had 1 minute to answer as many problems as possible. To play this game I needed to know the rules of Bedmas. My high score was 19. I enjoyed this game as it made me think faster and it made me concentrated on my task. I would like to play this game again and try to beat my high score. Next I would like to try more complex problems on the same subject.  

Last Day Of Snag Golf

Purpose:To evaluate  the skills learnt  for  snag golf.

              To share our learning with the world.

Success Criteria: Use past tense.

                            Able to explain in sequence.

Walt: play long shots in snag golf.

Our last day of snag golf training with Hugh was yesterday. We were practising long shots on the grass. First we had to keep our legs apart, right hand at the bottom of our club and our left hand on the top. Position your feet firmly on the ground and point them at where you want the ball to go. Next you have to keep your eyes on the ball before you swing the club. Then you follow through and still keep your eyes on the ball. I think I went terribly as the ball use to go everywhere. Some hits were good and some were not so I need more practice. I would like to try snag golf again.

Corn Painting

I created this corn. I enjoyed making it. I found it hard at first until Mr Ramkolowan showed us how to draw and paint our corn. We did this as for the last few weeks we were learning about corn.    

Corn Survey In Rm 8

For the last few weeks, we studied “Corn maths”. We created a survey called, “ How do you like your corn.” It was for Rm 8, 11 and a few staff members.

I used “Create a graph” online to draw a pie graph, area graph and a line graph.

I found using this online tool handy and easy because all I had to do was insert my data into the slots and it did the rest. I would definitely use this tool again if I need to draw a graph. Next I would like to revise on the rules of divisibility.

Corn Maths

We were learning to estimate many parts of a cob of sweetcorn. I worked with Nataliya and Ketura. We first had to estimate, then we had to find the actual number. Our estimation was closest to the row of kernels there were. I found it a little bit hard as our estimations were way off. We needed to use tidy numbers. Working in a group was interesting because we all had different estimations. Next I would like to revise probability.

The Lyrebird

A drop of sweat is running down my face as I shut the passenger door. I'm holding my camera in my hand as I begin to walk into the forest. I can see many birds but none that you haven't seen before. As I'm marching through the dirt, suddenly I can hear many noises. I begin to creep up to the bird and I know that this bird is a Lyrebird. I once learnt about it at school.  

The lyrebird is sure to be found in the forests in South Australia. It has a superb singing voice that can impersonate up to 20 different species. It can also imitate other noises it can hear in the forests such as car alarms, foresters using their chainsaws, camera shutters and Australia’s National bird, the Kookaburra. It has pitch black eyes, and a long black and white tail similar to a peacock. The lyrebird clears a part in the forest to show off its magnificent tail feathers. It persuades female birds by singing a complex song using all the different sounds in the forest and the pitch of its voice can go from high to low.

I am now finish with taking photos of the Lyrebird. I am walking back to my parent's car and I can hear a car alarm. I got to the car and it wasn't my parents car making the noise. I'm thinking that it was the Lyrebird.

Closed Reading Activity - Bruce Lee

In this activity I had to fill in the missing words. I found it difficult as there was many words that fitted into the place but it wasn’t correct. I want to play this game again and see if I can get 10 points. Next I would like to do another activity similar to this one.

E-Ako Maths - Fractions

Walt: solve problems using fractions.

In this game I had to solve problems using fractions. I had to answer questions using the answers true or false. It was easy because I knew how to work out fractions. I got 100% as my score. Next I would like to do more complex fraction problem.
