7 Wonders of the World

Last week we had a huge task. We had to plan a holiday around the world visiting the 7 wonders of the world.

The 7 wonders of the world are the Great wall of china, Petra, Taj Mahal, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, and the Colosseum.

I was partners with Tegan. We had to research all the flights, Accommodation, Rental Cars, Food, Petrol, and we had to do an extra activity at each place. We had a budget of $45,000, and had to be away between 30-50 days in May-July.

Here is our Presentation:

LH1 logo

Last week bella and I made a logo for the class in manaiakalani. Everyone who made one had to have a symbol behind it. Ours symbolises that us kids are the boats lost at sea and the two lighthouses are the two teachers leading us the way. We used google drawings and luna picc to create this.

Top Cat's Equivalent Fractions

In Maths Stage 6, this and last term we have been focusing on learning about fractions. Our focus last week was Equivalent Fractions (different fractions that mean the same). 

This HERE is an activity we had to do. 

In this activity we had to colour in a box that is equivalent to the one that is inline with that collum in the bottom row. I found this activity easy because I love fractions and hard because I couldn't tell which number was which because of the font.

TRANSFORMATION and TESSELLATIONS

For the past few weeks in EL4 Strand we have been learning about Transformation (Rotate, Translate, and Reflect). After we learnt about Transformations we then extended it into Tessellations (locking shapes together to create a picture with NO gaps, and NOT overlapping). I found the rotation and the coloring in hard. What helped me to make it easier was to do everything in pencil and then draw over it in pen.

Here is my TRANSFORMATION artwork.

Here is a Slide Show about Tessellations.

And here is my TESSELLATION artwork.

Skate Board Design

Once Matua Fergus saw Seve's New Skateboard design he gave us a skateboard template and we were left to design our own skateboard.
Here is my design for the Griptate (top).

And here is my deck (bottom) design.
