The School Holidays and the First Week Back

  Добрый день, добрый день bloggers.

Over the holidays I went to a village up by nelson called Mapua to meet up with some family which I really enjoyed.

Over the first week in school for numeracy we have been multiplying and adding decimals which was confusing me out of my mind until I figured out how to do an algorithm which made it surprisingly easy.

For literacy we are writing scripts for a movie that we are going to make with some friends which I think is going to be fun.

Algorithm

One of the questions I had for maths, see if you can solve it and leave your answer in the comments bellow

The one fin wonder

 Добрый день, добрый день, I'm back with another blog post this time it's on a rocket that me and some friends created for inquiry which only had one fin hence the title. We had limited resources so That's why we also had one fin. Our group (despite our group being very lazy) Did surprisingly very well compared to others. Ours flew a distance of 10m, we knew some people had -1.85m. overall I think Our team did very well when it came to working and the final launching. If you were there, how far did your rocket go?

My PSA

добрый день добрый день, this week and last week after tech we have been learning basic python(the code) to create a PSA about an issue of your choice e.g global warming, pollution and so on using a website called codesters.com my code if you want to see the full thing. I did one on pollution to help spread awareness about it. If you do look at my code to see what my full PSA is tell me what you think of it in the comments and until next time adios.

Probability Math

 добрый день добрый день, this week in Mr Gilstrom's Math Group we have been focusing on gambling (which I am not endorsing at all) and other games involving luck to see if we could use math to win or figure out the probability behind the chances of winning. A link to a slide of some of the work I have done on this topic is bellow.

Southern Lights Art

Hello bloggers, it's the last day of the term and I have another piece of art for you this time it's based around the southern lights arouras also known as aurora australis. An aurora is a natural light display in the sky, auroras are normally green but can also be red or blue. These natural phenomenons usually occur in areas known as the auroral zones in the Arctic in the north and Antarctic in the south. An aurora is caused by the collision of energetically charged particles with atoms in the high altitude thermosphere within our atmosphere.the collision of energetically charged particles with atoms in the high altitude thermosphere within our atmosphere. I hope you like it and tell me what you think in the comments.

Weekly Work 4

Kia ora bloggers, this is some of the work I have done over the past week.

For maths we have been focusing on linear and non-linear equations. Linear equations are an equation that has a pattern that goes in a straight line and non-linear equation are the opposite of linear equations. Over the week we have had tasks of figuring out which equations are linear and which are non-linear. One of our tasks is displayed bellow.

For inquiry this week we have been looking at pieces of art that are revolved around global issues and designed our own. Tell me what you think of mine.

Adios, Alex.
