The Mysteries Of The Never Ending Solar System

For the past few weeks I have been collecting exciting information about the solar system and I have created a slideshow about 3 big questions we all would love to know.  I have made it into a slideshow because I wanted it to be more interesting and exciting.  I have added pictures in so it can look better.  Hopefully you like it because I put a lot of work into it.  Here it is, I hope you enjoy it.

Freak The Mighty Tony D. Character Description

The picture below is a character description that I have written about a character from the book Freak the Mighty.  The character is Tony D.,  this character description is a work in progress so it might change later.  The purpose of me showing all of you is so that I can get feedback.  If anyone has any questions or any comments, I would like it if you comment down below because feedback is one thing that I need.  Freak the mighty is written by Rodman Philbrick.  The reason I am reading Freak the mighty is because in my class, I am in literacy group 2 and we get to read novels to make D.L.O's about those novels, last term I read Number the stars by Lois Lowry.

How to Screenshot

Screenshotting.

You might be wondering why a picture of my last post is on this post.

Well, today I am going to teach you how to screenshot.

The first key you must have to screenshot, is the Control key or, the Ctrl key.  The second key is Shift.  The third key is the Switch Window button.  If you don't know what this button is, then press Ctrl + Alt + Then the ? button.  That is the tutorial for if you want a certain part of the screen to be screenshotted, but if you want to screenshot the whole screen, then you have to press: Ctrl + Switch window button.

W.A.L.T.: Translate and Rotate.

W.A.L.T: Create Nets For 3D Shapes

This term I have started learning about Geometry.  We started by naming shapes and 3D shapes, then we named how many corners, edges and faces those shapes had, but we were put in different groups of course, so there are Diamonds, Circles and Stars.  I was put in Diamonds, Diamonds had to work on symmetry lines in week 1.  Squares and Circles didn't.  This week Squares and Circles are creating their D.L.O's for Edges Faces and Corners.  We, the Diamonds, have to work on 3D nets and we have to put at least 3 3D shape nets in our D.L.O, here it is.

I hope you enjoy.

Canterbury Swim School

Canterbury Swim School Lessons.

On Monday the 16th of October, we went to Canterbury Swim School for swimming lessons.  My instructor is Matthew, and I am in lane number 1.  It was really an experience because we got to do all kinds of tricks, we only have one more week, but I think I can make it work better.  

My next step is probably to backstroke better, do streamline better, do backwards streamline better and get better at tumble turns.  I think I was pretty good at all the basic stuff, but I think I could get better at all of the basic things like, freestyle and bubble breathing. 

 I like swimming lessons because first you start with the basics then you start using the more hard and unusual techniques.  This was a good first week because it was basically just us getting used to this timetable and our swimming lessons,  I think it was easy to remember all the things that we learnt in the first week because they were easy things like bubble breathing and freestyle.
