Handwriting

Everyday after we do the hui in our class,we start handwriting.

Mr Redmond writes up one of his dad jokes and we have to link the writing.

We also have to make sure we use correct punctuation and full stops.

I think this has helped me a lot with learning to link and writing faster because I have always found it slightly difficult to link certain letters.

Today's joke was...

"I've decided to sell the vacuum cleaner."

"Its just collecting dust." 

Octagonal Pyramid

This is a Octagonal Pyramid it has:-

9 faces

9 Vertices

16 edges

It was already pre-made and I had to cut it out and fold along the dotted lines. I had to use tape in the end to stick it together.

Maths-Constructing

 Today we had to design a net and construct a squared pyramid:

I found that I should've made the flaps slightly bigger so it was easier to glue together.    

I did the base as 4cm and the sides as 6cm.

Maths-Polygons

 We are focusing on the properties of a polygon.

A polygon must be 2D, must be made up of all straight lines , no intersecting lines and all points must be touching ( No gaps). This diagram shows how I sorted what weren't polygons. Some polygons intersect but these are called complex polygons and somehow this contradicts its own rule, I think.
