Maths

For our maths group A.K.A talent development, we have to make a scale model of the bandrotunda. We have been thinking, that if we donate it to the Invercargill library the little preschoolers will probably fall through the floor so... We have now decided to make it a puppet show palace, for the Enrich kids to play with the puppets and make shows. Right now as I am writing this post I am multi tasking, because we are figuring out the smaller scale model measurements ready to send to SIT to cut.

P.s when it is done I will post a picture of the finished product but. . . . . . . You might have to wait a few weeks till it is done.

Bullying

Today I went to a work shop about bullying. ( Not to learn how to bully, but to learn how to deal with it.) If you are ever being bullied it is not okay and you have every right to tell someone about it because it is not fair on you as a human being.

Some other strategies about how to deal with it;
Speak the un-expected: speak nicely back to them,
Talk to an adult
Avoid them if you can.

Shapes

For today's must do I did the plantonic solids Shapes /activity.
It is where you have to try and sketch as many ways you can make a cube, this is a picture of what I have done.

There are some of the plantonic solids:
Cubeoctahedron
Icosahedron
Dodecahedron
Tetrahedron

Then we had to try and make one of those shapes except the cube. I made a Tetrahedron.
So now after this post I should have nine signatures.

New talent development for this term

This term since we can't carry on with our documentary because it is finished and has been sent in to the MADE awards.
So today we got to pick what we would like to do for the rest of the year,we got to pick out of science or maths. I chose maths because it is something I am good at and passionate about.

Today we went to the park to measure the band rotunda because we are making a smaller scale model of it. When it is done we will be presenting it to the library for the kids there to play in.

Today was interesting because we got to measure it all around and do all of that sort of stuff so we could change it like one meter = 1cm or so on, so that we could send it to SIT to cut out for us.

Kiaora Karen,

Well we are on the home stretch of our documentaries! You and Emilia worked super hard today, and you always had a clear idea of what your plan was. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product, I hope it is everything you hoped it would be! Have you thought of adding an introduction of you and Emilia to the beginning? To explain the purpose of your documentary?
