Imaginator Writing.

As the machine pumps and smokes creating power for the town below. A big thunderous storm comes raging heading right for the imaginator. The whole town is shocked not knowing what to say or to do. The storm makes it's way over to the imaginator, making it strain and not being able to work. The small town below is left without power. In the middle of the night in the deep gloomy darkness. A mysterious flying machine emerges out of the black darkness of the clouds and it is coming their way.

My goals in writing is use bigger and more explaining words to make my writing more interesting to read and to get the reader hooked.

Maths (Monday)

Today for math we did a 4 question math test. The whole test was about figuring out the area, circumference and diameter of different shapes. We had to get more than 18 points and I got that exactly. Lots of people did not so I was quite lucky. The test was hard because we had to do the working of every question to get more points. If you showed the working, used the units of measurement and got the right answer, that is five points.

Maths, Figuring Out The Area Of a Circle

The answer is 153.86 cubic metres(m3)

Maths, How I Found Area.

For the past couple of weeks in math we have been figuring out the area of different shapes. Personally I found it quite easy and interesting. Area is when you figure how many meters the length of a shape is and the width of a shape and multiply them together to get the area. I think it could be very useful for me in the future because I want to be an architect.

Maths (Wednesday)

Today we learned ho to find out the area of a triangle. You have to measure the number of meters form top to bottom then multiply it by half of the meters of the base. The teacher also put a 16 by 16 square around it and we had to find the area of the square. we had to minus the area of the triangle from the area of the square. It was 226sqm We had to figure the cost if it is $16 per square meter of pebbles. I got $3616. Then we had to figure out the labour cost. It is $35.70 and hour and it will take 6.5 hours to complete. The labour cost is 232.05, then we add them together and get $3848.05. After that we subtracted 5% and get $3656.75 as the total cost.

Friday Maths

Today at maths we had to do a test. The test was to see how well we remember finding the perimeter and volume of different shapes. The test only had maybe 12 questions, the test was quite hard but I still understood it. I got one half right and the other half wrong because you had to get the first question right to get the other ones right and I got the first question wrong.

After we finished our test we did a maths question. The question was to see how many foot lengths long the circle in the court is. I figured for me its 13 foot lengths so I had to convert that to metres so that was 3.25m, then I multiply that by pi (3.14). I came up with 10.205 as the circumference.

Maths Week 4

Today in Maths we did some volume problem solving. Nogo put problems on the board and we had to figure them out. The Teacher would draw a square and put how many metres the length, the width and the height is. You have to multiply them together in that order. I found it quite easy and fun to do. Next we had to do a harder one. The length was 11 metres, the width was 16 metres and the height was 1.5 metres. That one was very hard but I figured it out in the end. I got 264m3 and it was correct. Then we had to figure how much the price was if it was $4 for each square metre. I got $1056 and it was correct.

Technology Reflection.

This week in technology my first session was mechatronics. We had to code a robot to move around and drive over dots. There were 5 dots to drive over and I drove over all of them. We had to complete the rest of the work in our books. It did not take long so it was not hard at all.

My next session was sewing. I needed to do one more small thing to my bag but the teacher did it for me. We also had to do a reflection in our book but it was easy. Instead of doing more work we did a challenge. If we one the challenge we would win a block of chocolate. We had to make the best design on a shirt. The design or picture had to be cultural. Mine was a Thai elephant. Lots of people did Maori designs but I wanted to make mine different. I did not win the chocolate but id doesn't matter.

Maths Step Counting and estimating

Today in Maths we learned about measurement and what pacing was. Pacing is when you count every left foot step. At first Nogo measured 50 metres with a measuring tape, then we counted how many paces we took in 50 metres. I took 40 paces. At the end of the measuring tape I had to take another 40 paces to estimate where 100 metres was. I doubled my steps to 80 which means for every left foot step counted it meant that 80 steps = 100metres.
At the end of the tape is 50 metres and you might see someone standing near a pole at the end.
