1 month ago in Te Maunga we were doing stuff around Geometry. In geometry I learnt parts of a shape more about 3D shapes that I didn’t know about. One of the activities I did was a net and in the net you had to colour in the shapes on the piece of paper. Then you cut it out and fold it to make a shape.
Around the end of August my class and I made a film for a film festival that was happening. First we learnt about filming to make our films so the teachers told us about shots, green screen, camera angles and the rule of thirds.
Last week the senior students at Paihia School had a treasure hunt. At a random time the senior students went over to the court and that’s where we got told the rules. After we got told the rules our principal let the youngest senior students go first. My friend and I were in a team when my mate and I went looking. We split up first so we could cover more ground then we looked at the little kids playground. After that we looked on the other little kids' playground. After we kept looking but found nothing then at the end one of the people found the last one where my mate and I looked.
In Te Maunga I have learnt about probability. I learnt that for some activities they weren’t as easy as I thought. Like in one of the activities you had to pick two cards and try to get a card that had a number on it that was in between the two numbers of the cards that you took. The chances of getting the card in the middle was pretty hard. For example pretend that you pulled out a seven and four you would have to get a 5 or 6. The chance would be 8 out of 38 because there are 38 cards with numbers and you have two numbers that are in between so the chance would be 8 out of 38.
