This week for Maths we were taught how to reflect shapes.
First I learnt translating shapes, and rotating shapes. Translate is to move a shape without turning it or flipping it. Rotating a shape is turning a shape in degrees. A 360 turn is a full spin. 180 is half of a full spin, so just turning the opposite way.
Next I started a task about reflecting, to reflect is to transform a shape or object the other way.
Lastly I bloged.
This week for Reading, we read a passage about the 2024 Olympics that is going to be held in Paris.
First I made a copy of the passasge so I could add reviews on how I read it.
Next I found a quiet spot to record in so I could be heard in the video.
Lastly I recorded and linked the video.
This week for Reading I learnt about the water cycle. I am here to explain it.
The water cycle starts with evapiration, this occurs when river water heats up and turns into vapor.
Next is condensation as the water vapor rises, it cools down and condenses to form clouds.
After that is Precipitation, When the clouds become heavy with water droplets, they release this water back to the Earth’s surface in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Lastly is collection, The fallen water collects in bodies of water like rivers, lakes, and oceans, from where it will eventually evaporate again, continuing the cycle.
On Thursday LS1 and LS2 went to the Howick Historical Village, We explored houses, gardens, made butter and more!
First we arrived and was sorted into 3 groups, I went to house 3, that house had a ladder to go up, we were unfortunately not allowed to go fully upstairs. There was a three bed bedroom.
Next we made karts to race in. They were made of wood, bolts, wheels, and a rod for steering. I drove down the steep hill and steered with my feet.
Lastly I made homemade butter using cream. To make the butter I spined a mixer while saying “Spin butter spin, Easton’s waiting at the gate waiting for some butter cake”; Each time a person spun the mixer it got thicker, and thicker until it was yellow and thick.
This week for Reading we read the 3rd chapter of Kingitanga.

Lastly I bloged.
I enjoyed this task because it was easy.
I was good at working out the equation.
I need to improve on making my blog longer and more detailed.
This week we revised what we already know about place value, we have also started learning about how a number can be represented in many ways.
First I made a copy of the place value template and thought of a number, I thought of 7491.
Next I wrote it in place value base ten blocks, and word form.
Lastly I bloged.
I enjoyed this task beacuse it was short and easy.
I was good at blogging quickly.
I need to improve on making my blogs longer and including more information.

I enjoyed I this task because it was easy and short.
I need to improve on checking.
I was good at doing this quickly.
This week for HPE LS1 did shotput and high jump.
First we did high jump, we were tought 2 different landings. Scissor, and just landing on our bottom. I perfer just landing on the bottom, its funner and more comforble than just puting a hard object on a soft surface.
The next day LS1 group A did shotput, we revised this since we did this back in week 5 – 6. This time I threw futher than normal.
Lastly I bloged.
