wearable arts

Wearable arts is a big event it this school. It’s where you collect recyclable and used things and make a dress suit costume or mask. M y one is some silage wrapping cut into strips washed stapled together to make overalls. I made a shirt to go underneath out of black polythene and duct tape. The gumboots are made of black polythene and duct tape as well with a little black paint on them.

maths

fractions This is my maths work on equivalent fractions. Equivalent fractions is sort of  like simplifying them. If it is 9/39 they both can be divided by three. That equals 3/13.or if there is 27/63 they both can be divided by 9. That equals 3/7. This maths is quite easy to get the hang of.

science fair

This is my science fair that I made.

I chose to do paper planes. I wanted to find out if a planes length would affect its flight length. I cut 2cm off my first paper 5cm off the next 8cm off and finally I left a piece of paper normal. I then turned them into paper planes and flew them in a hall and measured how far each one went. I then recorded that information and found the average I thought the long one would go the most furtherst. It was actually the one that i cut 2cm off that one. I learned how to fair test and how to make a hypothesis and a science fair board.

Science fair was quit hard and I don’t think I would do it again.

Week 7 Term 2

This week in English I have done a report on weta. First we took notes. Note taking is when you have two or more pieces of information and you take snippets of information and write them down in groups on a piece of paper. A group is like the general information and the appearance. Then when you write the report you use the notes. A report is true facts about something.

In my maths i have done some fractions and decimal multiplication and dividing. When you turn a decimal into a fraction its out of how many numbers there are. e.g o.435 is 435/1000.

my goal is to finish my maths.

i will do this by staying on task
