Area

WALT: To revisit perimeter and area problems. Perimeter and Area

To play this game you had to know your area of a shape. The easy part about this game was following the instructions and getting the answers right. During the game nothing was hard. I think that my teacher should give our maths group a harder game for area.  

Math Results

WALT: reflect on my basic facts assessment snapshot.

Math

During my math test, it was very difficult. My test was on stage 7. My mark on stage 7 was 62% but I had to reach over 80% to stay in that stage. So my teacher dropped me down a stage. So my results on stage 6 was 98% and I only go one question wrong so my teacher is putting me back to stage 7. So now I’m going to take my math test work and correct all my incorrect answers.

Jump Rope

Walt:Write a report.

On Friday the 7th of June, Glen Innes school had Jump Rope. The Jump Rope was held in their school hall. Some of the students parents came and sat on the stage. From rooms 1 to 12, each class had brilliant routines.

All the classes had brilliant song choices for their skipping routines. While the children were skipping it was amazing because everyone was in time. As I was watching the skipping routines, there was a lot of effort and energy. The children were smiling and I was impressed by there skipping skills.

The songs that the classes were skipping to, the children knew the words and they sang along. The songs that were playing the parents were singing too. Everyone was exhausted after their routines. Everybody had fun and you could see the smiles on their faces.

Line of Symmetry

WALT:Revisit strategies to solve problems.

Line of Symmetry

To play this game you had to know your lines of symmetry. The easy part in this game was finding lines of symmetry on all different shapes. During this game nothing was hard. I think that my teacher should give us harder symmetry work.

Mummfication

WALT:write an information report.

Mummification Process

The Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead. Egyptians removed the brain, intestines, stomach, and the liver and were put in Canopic jars but they did not removed the heart. The Egyptians salted and dried the body. They stuffed some cloth inside the body so that it kept in shape. Next it was oiled and was wrapped in lots of cloth. The body was wrapped tightly to stop the body from rotting away. The process was supervised by a priest. The priest used special instruments to send the soul from the body to the next world. Some of dead bodies were put in ordinary boxes or it was decorated. But if it was someone special like a Pharaoh, the body was transferred into a stone case.

Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt

WALT:write in correct paragraphs.

I am a pharaoh in  Ancient Egypt for a day. Being a Pharaoh is very important cause I  watch over the courts and  the temple. Theres another reason why the my role is important because I have to please the Gods and treat everyone with respect so that good fortune would come to Egypt. I would be transported place to place on a chair carried by servants.

I would be wearing many items which stood for kingship like crowns with jewels which stood for the Supreme Rank. My wife and I wear false beards made out of gold. This symbolised royalty.  

My daily schedule is to go to the temple and please and pray to the God. Next I’ll hear my daily news from my trusted vizer. Then I check up on the pyramid, which was built by my servants. Finally, during my  leisure time I am  entertained by my servants, or I have a conversation with my wife.

The Sphinx is part the structures built to serve the cult of the dead king and the sun god Ra. The sphinx looks onto a temple looking to the east. The alignment of the Sphinx indicates the sun.

The Egyptian took night and divided it 12 parts and then divided day into 12 equal parts. Putting day and night together made 24 hours. The Egyptians second contributions was the constant year of 365 days. First it was 360-days a year, which the Greeks added 5 days for feasting, which the Greeks called 'Epagomenal' and that what made the 365 days.

Ratio Blaster

WALT: Revisit strategies to solve problems.

Ratio Blaster

Playing this game you had to know your equivalent fractions. The easy part was getting all answers right before the time ran out. Playing this game,nothing was hard. I think that my teacher should give much harder work like division and multiplication fraction problems.
