Maths Week

This week was math week and in rimu we made tiny houses.

But before we got to make the actual tiny house we had to go through a process.

Firstly we had to look at all the directions to make sure what we were doing was correct and we had
to refer to Those directions.

Secondly we had to make a rough draft so that would be our plan for our tiny houses. For the rough
draft we had a checklist of things that we had to put in our house there were normal things that every
other house would have. And those were our requirements for the house.

After that we had to create our final version of the house and choose all the colours and all the little
details that we wanted and our final house when we made it.

Once we had done all that we had a checklist of things that we had to do the area and perimeter of.
There were all different things like we had to do the area and perimeter of the walls roof and floor we
also had to do things like the refrigerator the paintings and stuff like that.

After that we actually started to make our houses we had to cut out all of the things that we needed for
it and turn them into 3D we also had to colour in and make everything very colourful and personalised.
We also had to make sure that everything actually fit into the house and if it didn't we had to downsize
and make things better.

Then we had to colour in the outside of the house and do the garden and everything like that and it all
had to be very detailed so it looks like a real house. Then we had to reflect on how we thought the
process was. and this is my reflection on how I thought the process went:

. The most challenging part of this project was…. Folding the little parts together because it was hard to put them together.

. It was challenging because … You don't know what your partner is thinking in there head and if you are on the same page.

. My favourite part of this project was …. Because… puting the whole house together because it is like doing arts and crafts and i like arts and crafts.

. One thing that surprised me was … because … how easy the area and perimeter because i thought it was going to be harder.

These are some pictures and photos:

My Newspaper

For the past four weeks we have been learning how to right newspapers.

Then last week and the start of this week we had the task to write our own newspaper.

I ended up getting mine finished but some people didn't.

In the newspaper we had to have a few thing.

• A ad that we made ourselves
• two articles about whatever we wanted
• A small article about the writer ( I couldn't fit that in)
• We had to have two pages exactly
• front cover

I am really proud of my newspaper because i think it looks really good so here it is.

My Newspaper Report

• Have a picture
• Have a caption for the picture
• Two pages
• A headline
• A main story
• Capital letters and full stops
• A good layout

I haven't finished editing my story yet but I am writing this blog post to ask for feedback on:

• Does it look like a blog post?
• are there any parts that don't make sense?
• Did I use the right punctuation?
• Is it a long enough story or it is to short?
• Does the front page have a good layout?
• Does it need more information?

Please leave me a comment saying what you think.

Maths Work!

At the start of this week we were doing Fractions, Decimals and Percentages for maths. What that means is that we learnt how to convert one to the other this is the diagram we used.

We used this diagram to do the problems that the teacher gave us.

Then this Friday we had to do a blog post on what maths we had learned this week and i decided to do a video on how to convert some equations. So here it is.
