Reflective Symmetry

Walt: draw patterns to show reflective and symmetry
Today we were learning about symmetry. Our class didn't get that right in the e-asttle test, so we are having  practice runs by creating our own symmetrical art pieces on line. I found it very fun, but the first one I did was very hard to draw so I took the easy way out. I would like to draw more of these exciting things because I enjoy symmetry a lot!

mummification

Walt: write an information report.

Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead. First they would remove the insides, such as the brain but not the heart. Afterwards they salted and dried the body. Then cloth was stuffed inside the body to keep its shape. The body was oiled and wrapped in lots of bandages. The reason that they wrapped it so tightly is because it stopped the body from rotting. A priest was in charge of the whole thing. Egyptians believed that a priest would send the spirit into the next world. The priest would also use special instruments when touching a part of the body. Mummies were placed in an ordinary, wooden case. Some people were put into specially decorated cases. But if you were an important someone you were placed into a stone coffin.

Netball Experience

Walt: To tell your experience on Netball

Every Mondays, and Fridays I have Netball training and on Saturdays I play other clubs. When we train we do the basics. Such as, ball drills, defence, attacks, shooting and much, much more. Sometimes if we mess around coach makes us run to the end of the Courts. My coaches name its Matt. He’s a really great coach, because he’s strict which I think makes a good coach. If it wasn't’ for him I wouldn't be the good Netball player I am now.

My position is GK a.k.a Goal Keep. I like this position very much, but sometimes I feel as if this position its meaning less, but if we did not have goal keeps in Netball who would know what would happen? I would like to try out different position but I don’t think my coach would let me because he says I am the best at GK.

If you play Netball you have to committed to it. Like turn up on training at the right time, have the right shoes, right uniform and everything else. I try my best to stay committed to Netball. But I have to admit its hard to wake up in the mornings on Saturdays and go to Netball.

Tiling

Walt: use titles to cover the lounge floor.

Today we learnt about Area. Mary and I had to use our imagination and cover the board with blocks. We were learning about the concept area. Mary and I put 10 tiles in each row. We chose to do any colours because we wanted to finish quickly. I found that we took a little longer because our tiles were smaller, and others like Claudia and Salomah’s were larger. I noticed that everyone had different kinds of titles and designs.

Frog Pod

Walt: identify or find angles

The aim of this game is to get the little frog to the pod. I found this game very challenging but I enjoyed it very much. Sometimes, I got the answer wrong and the frog would go into a different direction. I would like to learn angles next.
