Translation

 Description:  

We have been learning about transformation.  We have specifically learnt that...

• translation is when an object slides in any direction;

• rotation is when an object is turned around a central point;

• reflection is when an object is flipped and has a line of symmetry.

Our challenge was to design a car badge that contained at least one of these aspects of transformation.   

Big Idea:

Feedback/feedforward: Lachie I think you did really well at explaining your item you got a lot of words in your badge. Feedforward you could work on trying to make them the Same size. #Maraki

Evaluation:

I like how my badge represents me with the guns but I need to make the guns the same size because I was rushing. If I did it again I'd ether do an animal or guns again but make them the same size.

Swimming SMART Goals

 Description:

The last few weeks we have been swimming in the school pool. We are practicing swimming for swimming sports. Swimming sport's is a big school swimming event.

Big idea:

We have been setting SMART goal's about swimming.  

My goal's are:

To get 1st in breastroke, backstroke and freestyle

Our pool

Start like a arrow because I start like a worm.

Keep my butt still because I wiggle it while I swim and go of coarse.

Evaluation:
 The only goal I didn't achieve is the one at swimming sports because I came 2nd in breaststroke.
Our pool
I know I've achived my goal because now I start as straight as a arrow
 I know I'v also achived this goal because now I go straight rather than veer off course.

I like how you showed time passing and I also like how you dressed up like a teacher and your impression.
I think connor could of faced you when he was speaking.

Number knowledge maths test

Description:

We did 3 ten minute math tests. We did stage 4,5 and 6. You had to get more than 80% to pass. I passed on stage 4 and 5. I'm working on stage 6.

Here are my tests.

Stage 4

Stage 5

Stage 6

Big idea: 

This is my stage 6 test. The pink highlights are the questions I got wrong. The yellow highlights are the ones I redeemed myself on. We got into buddy's and you got your buddy to ask you the questions you got wrong.
