Circular nonsense

Our maths project was all about learning the diagonals of a shape.
A diagonal is from one corner of a shape to another corner.
Here is all the diagonals of a pentagon: As you can see it looks like a five point star because there are five corners so a ten sided decagon will make a ten point star by connecting all the diagonals

You might be thinking what about a circle? A circle has infinite diagonals, but you can actually make any point star with a circle for example you can create a ten point star by doing this;

A circle is a 360o  angle so if you want a ten point star you have to;
Divide 360 by 10 = 36 now use the protractor and measure the angle of 36 degrees starting from a line drawn from the of the circle. Each time you measure 36 degrees draw a new line and then measure the degrees again.

This is my 18 point star some parts got messed up but it was pretty hard to make;

Growing my dream

For inquiry we had to make our own garden it can be a big garden, a small garden, in a pot or a little tray. We used the Yates website to choose our plants and everybody choose different plants I choose basil (gourmet mix), rocket, garlic chives and mint mix.

This is what it looked like

Our class is learning about matariki and it's legends. We could use any way to share our learning. I used Piktochart / Infographic maker others made posters, prezi and other cool ways!

Starry Night REMIX!

Based off my dads favorite artwork - Starry Night and with the help from Mrs Cameron I was able to make one beautiful piece of art.

We planned this on our bubble catcher then copied it with pastel onto a plain black piece of paper.

After that we painted staying with the motion of the lines but not just paint we used a technique called double dipping. As you can see you dip a paint brush into any paint you like but instead of mixing it with a different colour you dip the paintbrush into any paint then dip it again into another type of paint and keep on painting!
When we finished the painting we added houses a black piece of paper and added small coloured pieces of paper mostly yellow for the lights. You're probably wondering, Llew doesn't look like you added paper to your artwork? What I did is sketch the houses for full detail with pilot pen and coloured it with blue pen and black pen as well as pencil on the edges.

This is my Starry Night REMIX

Quick Wright - Flight

For this quick wright we had to look at a picture and jot down the surroundings and what the character is doing at that very moment. We had to use complex sentences and short sharp sentences. Try and spot them all.

This is what the picture looked like.

Flight

The lively sky is bright, blue and shimmering on the still water. The buildings are watching and towering over the road far off in the dull distance. The gleaming rays warm the jagged wharf heating my feet. I finally find the light that can set me free.

I think to myself. This is the time. As my body surges with adrenaline, I climb on top of the rustic wooden barrier. With my arms spread out, and the calm breeze flowing past my chest.

I wait. Standing. Until I leap. With my arms high behind my back like the wings of a bird, the silence brakes. An immense splash awakens the city. When the chill of the water touches my toe, I can feel the excitement. As the freezing water infects my body, I think about all the good times in my life.

I lie still. Drifting away, but happy.

Life of an egg

For K.O.S we had to protect an egg just like how you have to protect a baby. My egg was called EGG MARLEY!
Our goal is to NOT LET IT CRACK! But about 2/3 of people cracked there egg.
Sadly I cracked my egg the most tragic time in my life. Just when my egg fell out I was standing still thinking "what just happened?" And I then tears ran down my face. That tragic moment though!

Picture of all the boys eggs in tom's majestic baby cram. Egg marly is on the bottom right!

New comer!

For K.O.S we had to create some kind of bed for a egg we had to name the egg and stay with it for a week you CAN'T let it out of your site. The only way we can leave it out of our site is to get a egg-sitter.

I named my egg EGG MARLY!
