week 1 maths 3D shapes

Hi bloggers

This week's we have been making shapes in 3D with the help of isometric

paper. At the start, I was confused but after drawing some cubes I realised that it was just a matter of what angle the cube was in.
isometric paper allows you to draw 3D shapes, the isometric paper has dots so you just have to draw lines to link the dots. See you next week, bye

Hairy Giants

Kia ora Bloggers, This week we have been looking carefully at making inferences when we read or watch something. An inference is when we take clues from a text or image, and add them to our thoughts or prior knowledge and make an inference.

For example, when I look at this photo, I might make the inference that this photo was taken in a food factory as everyone is wearing hair nets and this is required in all food factories. The text that we read a snippet out of was ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl. Once we had read the first few chapters where they described the main characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, we then had to make some inferences based on the clues that Roald Dahl had given in the text.

 I used Google Draw to create a display of my inferences I have made about Mr and Mrs Twit.

 Have you read The Twits before? Do you agree with my inferences? What inferences would you make about the characters? See you next time!

The secret package

In literacy we have been reading Going solo and while we were reading it, we decided to stop reading it and write what we thought would happen. It was about a secret package.

Hi for maths, Mr Shaw told us to do some tasks at khan Academy

Don't you just love when the writer puts some suspense in, to get you all excited.

This week one of the tasks were to do a little informational report about giraffes. I found it very interesting because normally I wouldn't think about it. Did you like it? Have you learned any thing new?
