Maths - Octagonal Pyramid

 Maths

Today at maths we made 3D shapes. I made an Octagonal Pyramid, Witch has 9 Faces, 16 Edges, and 9 Vertices. Heres a photo.

 Minecraft Mystery-Box Monday!

On the day I wen't sailing, Jeneva and Bluebell did the minecraft mystery-box challenge. Its basically like master chef, where they had to build what was in the box. They had to build a theme park ride. They decided to build a Bumper-carts ride. When I came down to help them, ride was done now we had to do the details. I made and archway, while Jeneva and Bluebell made the Popcorn stand. Once we finished, we made these blog posts. 

 

 

Oh Jeneva totally didn't make a Sea-pickle shrine!

Maths-Geometry

Maths

The other day at Maths. We went onto Mathigon, and I learnt about rotate, flip and slide by 90, 180, 270, 360 degrees to create some interesting things like...

*DRAMATIC DRUM ROLL*

This!

This is my friend, Sirhatsalot. He got his name because his hat, you see, was a spear piece when I created him. This is what he turned out to be, and this is what he was meant to be... (I still like him the way he is, though!)

This is Mr. Nohat. He has no hat. And his chest is bigger.

GOAL! DOUBLE GOAL!! HAT TRICK!!! Ahh.. forget I said that. This is Kickman High. Very good soccer player.

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for... 

DA BUM!

Yep. Its the Washington Monument. Or, as I call em, Washy.

 

 

 

 Sailing on Lake Rua

Yesterday, we wen't Sailing at lake Rua. While we were there, we learn't how to rig a boat and sail one. We had lunch and then went on the lake. There wasn't much wind at first, but then it picked up and the sailing was much better. Then we wen't home.

We should have our own individual desks.

We should have our own individual desks.

Nowadays, classrooms can be pigstyes. Kids losing things 24/7, books strune out all over the place, kids searching for their pencil-cases, makes you wish for the good old days, when they had desks. Wait… good old days? Desks? Why can’t that be now! Blue Spot, which is a company that provides workspace furniture, says it ‘Promotes independence’ and that ‘Creating a workspace is the child's own space, and can help them figure out problems.’ If we had our own individual desks we might not lose our stuff as much, because we would work at the desk all the time, and keep everything at that place.

This is my argument for why we should have desks. It sounds like and ad, but i'm proud of it. Whats your opinion?

 Science

For science, we are are making a Garden to attract native birds. We will have plants that will attract the birds and keep them safe. The plants will also provide food for the birds. The garden will also serve as a healing place. Some of the plants include Silver Ferns, Five-fingers, and Olovera. 

We are the Resistance!

We are the Resistance! 

 The man hit the steel door so hard he thought it would finally open. But, it didn't. 

“It's no use sire! It's harder than stone!” Said the Scientist.

 “We can not give up! We can’t, we, just, can’t.” Huffed the leader. He fell to his knees. “Your right. It is no use.” The leader was sweating an ocean. “We cannot defeat them.”

 The leader tried as hard as he could, but just could not stand up. The leader pound the ground with his fist. When he lifted his hand, the ground was cracked, and when he followed it, he remembered all his followers.

All the people that looked up to him. The people that helped him do this. He looked back at the crack. Then he realised something. He stood up.

 “Everyone! Man, Woman, Child. We may be broken. They may have taken things from us! But we are the spark! The spark that will start the fire! The fire that will burn them down! We are the Resistance!”

The crowd of people cheered, and he smashed the wall. 

It tore apart like water.

Theres my story! I hope you liked it. It was really fun to write. What writing have you done?

Area of a Circle

Hello there! Welcome to Abe's Maths Show! Today, we will be doing area and area of a circle. Ok sorry, I'm not on TV. I lied. But you still get to learn something! That sounds exciting! I bet you're on the edge of your seats! Here's the area of a circle!

This is the area of a circle. Pi is 3.142. Let's say the radius is 5 metres. 

It's Pi x Radius x Radius. So its 3.142 x 5m x 5m. That 78.55m3. That's area of a circle.

Finding Circumference Of A Circle

 Finding The Circumference Of A Circle

Today at maths we got a test sheet. It was quite hard, and I couldn't finish all the questions in time. Then we had to go outside to find the circumference of a circle - With our FEET! I got 12.5 footsteps, which means it is 6.5 metres. 

Then I used the formula of Circumference = pi x D.     pi =3.14

C = 3.14 x 6.5 metres

=20.41m

 Maths

Today for maths I learnt about volume. We learnt that to get the Volume of a shape you need to do this; 

V= l x w x h .

Then we started a problem where we had to figure out the volume of this shape, then cost for concrete then add a 30 % discount.

Tech

Today, when I got to school, I was in a rush! When I got to the bus, the door was closing! AHH! But Sharon told the driver that I had got there, so he opened the door for me to hop on. THANK YOU SHARON! When we arrived at Tech, we went to sewing, where I started on finishing my cushion. When that was done, I wen't out to have lunch, and me and my friend played 4 Square! Then we wen't to Digitech, and me and Jelani finished our game. Then the group had free time, were I looked at Scratch Undertale projects: FUN FACT! I REALLY like Undertale! Then we wen't back to school. WHAT A DAY! Thanks for reading this! I hope you liked it!  

William Pike Progress

William Pike

This is my William Pike progress. I have completed my passion projects, and for outdoor activity i'm going on the Skiing trip to Mt. Hutt. For community service i'm going to do a planting at Rawhiti Domain. What is your William Pike progress like?

Comparing Fractions

Comparing Fractions

Today at maths we did comparing fractions. To compare a fraction, such as 2/5 and 1/6, you need to compare 5 and 6 for the lowest common denominator, so 5 is 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.

And 6 is 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, so 30 is the lowest common denominator. So it becomes 2/30 and 1/30. Now comes the hard part, since 2/5 had a smaller denominator, we have to times 2 by 6, and that becomes 12, and so it becomes 12/30. Then we times 1 by 6, so that is 6, and so it is 6/30, so 12/30 is bigger. 

12/30 > 6/30.  

Tech

Tech

Today I was late to school. It SUCKS being late, but the good thing is I got to wait at the library for a bit and read. Then I and one other person hopped on in the van with my teacher Sharon. When we arrived at Tech we went to Sewing. We learnt to back-stitch and 15mm Seam. Then we had Morning Tea and me and my friends played Four Square. The we wen't to Digi-Tech, witch me and Jasmin continued to argue about who's Mind-Flayer was better. Last time in Digi-Tech we both created Mind-Flayers, from Stranger Things on Tinkercad, and we where arguing who's was better. If you don't know what a Mind-Flayer look's like, heres one: 

 

So, anyway, when the teacher got back, we got into the classroom, she explained that we needed to play some Scratch games. There where a lot of games, the first one I played was called 'Bat-man Vs Joker', where you needed to save the falling babies and not catch the falling Joker. Then there where other games like 'Cars' and 'Mighty Knight'. Then we got to make our own Scratch Projects, and I created a monkey with a whirl effect. Then we started on a game where a Shark had to eat a Fish, and the score would go up one. But someone made the Fish eating the Shark! We where late getting to the buses, (Again!) so I sat in the front of the Van while we wen't back to school.

The Announcement

The announcer steps up to the alter.
His voice booms throughout the cave of wisdom.
“The queen of the kingdom New Zealandia has announced
that we will go into quarantine!”
Suddenly murmurs echoed throughout the cave.
Swiftly the announcer rolled a charisma check.
The D20 turned and turned, and then stopped. 15.
He looks relieved. He had done it, passed the party's
charisma level, just. “QUIET!” Suddenly, the whole party
settled.

The announcer is a well heightened man, he has a bald head
but makes up for it with his beard,
which goes down to his waist.
He also always carried a staff.
He wears old fashioned clothes,
and always keeps a pencil or two in his breast pocket.
FYI, he is a Bard!
Also his race is Human.

The caves opening stares out over the ocean,
as our god is the god of the ocean.
Our cave is at the top of Rawhiti mountain.

All of a sudden, we hear a loud bell. It strikes three.

“All right! Time to go home, you goblins!” Yells the Paladin.
He is a tall man, who has NO hair on his heir on his head or
face. He is very strong, he is a Half-Orc by the way! Most
people think Half-Orcs are dumb, but NOT this one!
In fact, he is one of the smartest people I know!

The whole party grabs their lunch sacks, and their flasks,
and stuff them in their rucksack.

“Just remember, don’t come here tomorrow!”
Yelled the Wizard. The Wizard is a tall Elf. She has long,
black hair with pink tips, that goes down to her shoulders.
Her highest ability score is charisma. But this time she
didn't need to roll anything.

As me and my friends walk
down the back entrance to the mountain, Max, a Half-Elf
Bard, starts galloping up the mountain on his horse
(Horses are Bikes by the Way!). Max is a medium sized guy,
with short, red hair, and freckles covering his face.
He is singing a rather catchy tune.

“Everything is cancelled, Everything is cancelled cos of
Covid-19, Everything is cancelled, And we're stuck in
quarantine!” We all started to laugh.

Hi guys, hope you enjoyed that! I will do a Chapter 2 soon, but would love to hear your feedback! For now, goodbye!

Tech Week 4

Tech Term 4

This week for Tech we had to do Creative C.A.D and Cooking. In Creative C.A.D started creating our Tik-Tak-Toe game. We have started our design on the computer. By the end of Term One we will have created a playable Tik-Tak-Toe game. In Cooking we made Hot Chicken Salad Rolls. First we got some Chicken and cut it into four pieces. Then we rolled them in Egg, Flour and Flavoured Seasoning. Then we put them in the oven. After we took them out we put them in a roll and put some Carrot, Cucumber, Lettuce, Capsicum and Tomatoes. It was Delicious! Have you made Chicken Salad Rolls before?         

Pascall Pineapple Lumps VS Pascall Snifter Lumps

Pascall Snifter Lumps are a new product by Pascall. I like them, and they taste nice, but in my opinion, Pascall Pineapple Lumps are sweeter. I love Pascall Pineapple Lumps, there number one on my Pascall chocolate favarities. For me, the Pascall Pineapple Lumps are better than Pascall Snifters because they are sweeter than the Snifters and have more taste. I would recommend them to people who love Peeper-Mints. I give the Snifters a 7/10 because they are mouth-watering and delicious and Minty. 

Neil Wagner Hat-Trick

This is unfinished work. I will update it when i'm done.
