Writing W2

For writing this week I had to edit three sentence from  my report and show the before and after. We also had to put it on a google drawing and write down three things what we should be doing when editing. Here's my work.

Before 
Peter went to Kapiti College a state run secondary  school but dropped out at the age of 16 so that he could get a job to finance his film hobby. 
Peter went big after Bad Taste in 1989 Bad taste was a sifi 1 hour and 32 minute movie. Bad Taste was made on a low budget of 11 thousand us dollars it is Jackson's first feature film.
Jackson's family bought their first TV when he was 5 years old and the world of television immediately captured his young imagination, especially a futuristic English sci-fi show called Thunderbirds 1965-66.

After
Peter went to Kapiti College, a state-run secondary school. He dropped out at the age of 16 so that he could get a job to finance his film hobby. 
In 1989, Peter went big after Bad Taste. Bad taste was a sifi 1 hour and 32 minute movie. 
Bad Taste was made on a low budget of 11 thousand  US dollars, it was Jackson's first feature film.

Things to consider when editing
Make sure your sentences make sense.
Use a thesaurus and a dictionary.
Would your reader be able to understand it.

Math W2

This week for math we are learning graphs.
 We got our data from the teachers, they made two google sheets one about covid-19 and the other one about year 7&8's. I chose the year 7&8's sheet and did what region and how many languages they speak. For my graph I did a steam and leaf graph and a bar graph. Here's my graph's.

Bar graph.                                                                                                    Steam and leaf graph.





Have you made one of these graphs before?

Reading W1

This week for reading we had to read two articles. I chose Bright Fine Gold and The Deadly Flu of 1918. Bright Fine Gold was about the gold mine near Otago and The Deadly Flu of 1918 is about the influenza pandemic around the globe. Then we had to write down what we had learnt from the articles and what we already knew before we read about them. After that we also had to write down two questions that we had.

Have you read any of these articles  before?

Writing W1

This week for writing we had to fix up two sentences from our biography by putting more complex punctuation in our work. My bio was about Peter Jackson. Here's my work.

Before 
Peter went to Kapiti College a state run secondary  school but dropped out at the age of 16 so that he could get a job to finance his film hobby. 
Peter went big after Bad Taste in 1989 Bad taste was a sifi 1 hour and 32 minute movie. Bad Taste was made on a low budget of 11 thousand us dollars it is Jackson's first feature film.

After
Peter went to Kapiti College, a state-run secondary school. He dropped out at the age of 16 so that he could get a job to finance his film hobby. 
In 1989, Peter went big after Bad Taste. Bad taste was a sifi 1 hour and 32 minute movie. 
Bad Taste was made on a low budget of 11 thousand  US dollars, it was Jackson's first feature film.
What I changed 
I put a comma after collage.

I put a hyphen in between state and run.
I put in 1989, in front of, peter went big after bad taste and I put a comma in front of 1989.

I put a full stop after the first bad taste to make the the sentence shorter.

I also made US with a capital because it's a name of a place.


Do you know who Peter Jackson is?

Math W1

This week I have been learning about tessellations. Tessellations are a lot of shapes that make a pattern or an art piece, a rule for tessellations is that the shapes can't be on a diffrent angle to the others and there cant' be any gaps in between the shapes. For my follow up I had to make a tessellation out of shapes, I made mine out of arrows. Here's my tessellation.















Have you made tessellation before?
