Term 1 Week 4 - Reflections

Hi guys! This is what I learnt this week:
This week, I have learned that I'm not completely hopeless at sewing! Who would have thought? I also learnt about how awesome or trip to Wellington is going to be. We got the itinerary, and it sounds amazing! We're going to Wellington zoo, and we're going to the Capital E Digital place, and we're going snorkeling... I can't wait!
Anyway, see you all soon, goodbye for now! 

Term 1 Week 3 - Reflections

Hi guys! This is just another learning reflection from me.

This week, I reminded myself about expanding and simplifying numbers. Really easy really, but I forgot! So how you do it is this:
You put in the brackets the first number, and multiply it by the place value, then the brackets stop, and you put an addition sign, then the next in brackets, and so on, eg:
13578=
(1×1000) + (3×1000) + (5×100) + (7×10) + (8×1);
Expanding with powers is the same, but with powers, eg:
20870=
(2×100^4) + (8×10^2) + (7×10^1)

Anyway, goodbye, see you soon!

Term 1 Week 2 - Reflections

Hi guys! Apparently, this year, we have to do reflections of what we learned during the week, even though we didn't have to do them last year, which is really confusing, but oh well.

This week, I learned what face value is. It's really simple, but I'd never actually learnt it, and what it is is this:
So you know place value is what column the number is in, hundreds, thousands etc, and total value is how much each number is worth, 300, 4000 etc. Face value is basically just the number, eg:
The face value of the 7 in 1790 is just 7.
Anyway, bye! 

Tech Arts Cycle 1 - Fabric

Hi guys! Did you miss me? No? Oh well, I don't really care. Anyway, as you know, last year I told you about my Tech Arts. Well, I'm going to do it again this year, but this time I'm going to try to keep it up all through the year. Anyway, enjoy!

Week 1

This week we were filling out parts of our booklets, and looking at different kinds of fabric like polyester etc. We were also designing our polar fleeces which we are going to make soon. My design is amazing! It's to have cat ears, a bowtie, and the sleeves are going to have fingers! Because, quoting my favorite TV series: Bowties are cool!

Week 2

This week we were learning about how polar fleece is made, Anand filling out more of our booklets. We also cut out the shapes for our polar fleeces, and we sewed the shoulder seams using the sewing machines.

Week 3

This week, I sewed up my hood, attached my hood and attached one of my sleeves. It actually doesn't look horrible, which is really surprising.

Anyway, that's all for now. Bye!
