Maths- Symmetry

In maths our new focus it symmetry. When we began maths Edie gave us some toothpicks and blue tack. We had to make 3 Dimensional(3D) shapes out of the toothpicks and we had to count how many faces it had and on our second lesson we had to make one or more of these shapes (the numbers next to them are how many faces the shape had.

tetrahedron= 4
Pentagon= 5
Hexagon = 6
Heptagon = 7
Octagon = 8
Decahedron = 10
Dodecahedron = 12
Here are some/a couple of photos I took on the iPad during maths of some of the shapes I made, I only took photos on the first lesson so they are not exactly my best shapes I have made but they are still pretty good.

On Wednesday the 6th we learnt about vertex, faces and the edges and we learnt that if we have the vertex and face we can guess the edges with this simple equation...

so say we used the Octahedron it has 8 faces and 6 vertex and if you do V(vertex) + F(face) -2 then you get the answer so in case it would be 6 + 8 = 14 - 2 =12 and 12 is your answer so and Octagon has 8 faces 6 vertex and 12 edges.

Smoothie making! ( food technology )

Today(Monday November 20th 2017) we made smoothies in class for our food technology lesson/session. We made four smoothies and here is a list

Smoothie number 1 (by Garth) included

Yoghurt

Strawberries

Milk

That smoothie was wonderful, but sadly couldn't compete with Ms O'neil's.

Here is a photo

Smoothie number 2 (made by Ms O'neil) was fantastic! The smoothie included...
Pineapple
2 strawberries
orange juice
spinach
At first I wasn't too sure about the spinach but it smelt amazing and then I had a little sip and it was THE BEST SMOOTHIE EVER.
Then a group of people went in Edie's room with Garth and here is a photo and video.

Smoothie number 3 (made once again by Ms O'neil) inculded
Grapes
orange juice
Spinach
Chocolate
It was okay by I think the chocolate put me off just a little.
Here is another photo and my last I hope you enjoy it please comment what you thought of this post and comment what you think is good in a smoothie!

How and why we use Libraries

Explanation Writing

Written by Mia

Have you ever been to a library before? A library is a building with many many shelves with many many books. Libraries also have magazines, bean bags comfy places to relax and read, sometimes they have computers for researching and sometimes they have records and play calming music. All libraries are different some have more space or an up stairs place, some have board games and some have DVDs. Libraries are mostly used for reading but their are different kinds of libraries like public ones pop up one’s and school libraries. People go to libraries for different uses but mostly for reading.
