Scale Drawings

I learned to use scale to enlarge my drawing. I used a scale of 1 cm to represent 4cm. This means that my drawing is 4 times bigger. I think this task was too difficult because it had plenty of detail which made it hard for me to draw. I think I need more practise on this topic. Next, I would like to learn how to enlarge things with less detail.   

How do I think NZ did in the Commonwealth Games

For the 2014 Commonwealth Games, England came first on the medal table. Although New Zealand has only 45 medals, they also came first because New Zealand's population is 4 443 000 people and if you divide the number of people to the number of medals, then you'll see that New Zealand comes on top because New Zealand has the lowest medals/people ratio. I think New Zealand did exceptionally well because they tried to get as much medals as they could.

Book choices for Junior Children

I chose to read the book “Grumpy Elephant” by Joy Cowley. It is about a Grumpy Elephant and the other animals make him laugh because they are all bumping into things. I think this is suitable for Juniors because it is a short story but it is also entertaining and funny and it is also extremely easy to read. I think the photos in this story would help them to understand the story and help them with the hard words. I also think that they should be able to read it by themselves because it has plenty of easy words. I am 100% positive that plenty of children would read this story because it is very interesting how the other animals make the Grumpy Elephant happy.

Finding Grampy

In this game, I had to find grampy using fractions. I found him 4 times and I had 10 attempts. My current score is 40 percent. I found this difficult for me because there were no lines to help me find Grampy. So, when I play this game again, hopefully this would be easy for me to play.

Name that shape

WALT: name that shape.

In this game, I had to name all kinds of different shapes. I got all of them correct in 29 seconds. For me, I thought this game was a little difficult because I guessed some of the shapes because I hadn't seen them before. I would like to learn more about shapes next.
