Bike Maths Problem Solving W2

Welcome Back to my blog!

Last week for maths we were doing problem solving, based on a bike. 

Here is the question:

We worked out that each time you turn the crank the pedal gear will rotate 1 time and the sprocket will rotate 3 times. So if you turned the crank 9 times then the wheel would move 27 times beacuse 9x3=27.

comment question: Ho would you havde worked out the first question?

Hansel and Gretel Writing

Welcome back!

This week for writing we read the book hansel and gretel. After reading it we were tasked with writing sentences to describe the forest. Here are mine:

The great, tall trees swayed in the wind, their trunks were like old bones. They looked like they could snap at any second.  

Their rotten leaves lined the path, making a soft place to sit and rest. It was at this time the two siblings decided to have a nap because the many hours of walking had tired them out. 

“Chirp chirp chirp” The sounds of the birds chirping woke the pair up. The sunrise was shining through the trees, red and gold colours beamed everywhere. The forest’s residents scuttered around the ground looking for an early morning snack. 

Comment question: Have you ever read Hansel And Gretel?

Narrative Writing

Welcome back! 

Here is a paragraph of a narrative I have been writing. The plot of the story is that she changes into someone shes not and gets involved with the wrong crowd at school. I hope you like it. 

My name is Aria. Aria Bree Stratford. Welcome to my diary. This is the first page in this disgusting pink book. Trust me I don't want to do this either. It's an assignment for school over the break, school aye! Speaking of school, I hate it. I just started my freshman year of highschool.  New school, new people, new classes and no friends. Well that was until the other day when the “popular kids” came over and invited me to hang out with them. They thought they could see “potential” in me. I don't really like hanging out with them but it will have to do. I expect we will be moving soon anyway. Oh yes, I forgot to mention. My dads a marine officer so we move around. A lot. It kinda sucks because the moment we get settled somewhere we have to move again. My mums not really around anymore. She left not long after I was born, but she turns up occasionally. Last I heard of her she was drinking Margaritas and lying on the beach in bikinis. Some island somewhere. Sometimes people make fun of me for not having a mum. But i don't really care. My dad and I get on just fine by ourselves. Well our dog Max comes everywhere with us as well. Because of my dad's work I have lived all round the world. Australia, England, New Zealand and Fiji just to name a few. Each place owns a little bit of my heart. I love travelling, cooking, horse riding, swimming and kayaking. Uh this is so boring! This school is one of the worst ones I have been to. I mean, the school is fine but the people are just. They are the kinda people that make you feel like you aren’t welcome.

Thanks for reading.

Comment question: Do you enojy writing?

descriptive writing dlo

Welcome back! These are a couple of paragraphs I wrote about the photo down below. I had to describe the forest and then I did one about what happened in the forest. Thanks for reading

The Woods

The paths were lined with weeping trees groaning in the wind. The old leaves
created a soft surface for the animals to rest on. The sun's golden rays filled the
area with light, exposing the birds that nestled within. An orange tent huddled
behind the curvy trees, a black bug net covered the entrance of the tent protecting
the creatures that played inside. The patches of dying grass lined the ground,
mushrooms cuddled together.

That evening as the sun was setting and the forest was coming alive something
emerged from the tent, quickly gathering items from the base of the tall trees. Out
of nowhere an angry red glow appread by the tent. It fought with the wind trying to
stay alive. Cold rocks paved the area it was permitted to be in. Sticks providing
food for the red glow. As the hours passed the glow shrank. The bitter night turned
into a bitter day. The forest was ready to do it all over again. 

Comment question: Have you ever been camping?

Welcome back! heres a paragraph of my report I wrote about Ernest Rutherford. Thanks for reading.

Introduction

"Never say, "I tried it once and it did not work."" ~ Ernest Rutherford. Ernest Rutherford is undoubtedly one of the most famous New Zealanders. He is the father of nuclear physics and has developed multiple different theories and methods many of which are still used today. To his family he went by the name Ern, but to the rest of the world he's known as Sir Ernest Rutherford. He was knighted in 1914 by the Queen.  If you have a look at a $100 note you might see Ernest Rutherford’s face on there, with a nobel prize around his neck.
