My Geometric Art.
This task was fun, however, it was frustrating when my hand wasn't balanced when I was trying to draw those straight lines. Here are the instructions how to make one down below.
1. Draw an animal that you like.
2. Rub out the curved lines and use a ruler to straighten them.
3. Find a black felt and outline the lines.
4. Colour the animal in with any coloured felts you want as you can see I went with light blue, black and grey.
Now your done. You can show your mum and dad or even your friends.
What did I enjoy? I enjoyed colouring it in.
What did I do well? I think I did well in drawing the straight lines.
What could I improve on? I could improve on colouring it in more.
My Comma PowerPoint.
W.A.L.T upload a learning task from last week or today on our blogger.
We started this task last week. The task was to make a power point, quiz or an animation about commas. Me and my partner named Dash made a power point. Here it is down below.

My Basic Facts.
I.A.L.T upload my basic facts and write about them.
These are my basic facts that I have practised while I have been at my house with my mum and dad.
A few weeks ago, we started our first basic facts cards. I was on 2 times by the time but today I moved up to 6 time tables. I'm going to practice and practice until I get better. It was easier than usual but it was easy for everyone so there was nothing to be excited about. I enjoyed ticking my answers. I could have improved on practising my tables more too.

My Alim Drawing.
In tui whanau, a small group of students are in a math group called ALiM. While they are doing their ALiM work with the teacher, we do independent rotations. I enjoy doing these rotations. Some activities we do during this time is drawing, silent writing and handwriting. The handwriting task is suppose to help you write and can help you have better hand writing. These drawings below are what I have been drawing during ALiM. We do it four times a week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Me and my friends enjoy doing the rotations while the other group is doing their extra Math work.

Kiwi Can.
At kiwi can today I enjoyed playing a couple of games called. Traffic light, number 7 and walk clap stop jump. The games were sort of easy. My favourite game was number 7 number seven is a game where you have to say one and the person next to you says 2 then you go around in a circle till you get to seven then the person next to the person that said 7 says 1 again then it goes back around in a circle.
What I found challenging was that I couldn't hear anything that Jodecy and Sharan said.

My Solar Panel Post.
Yesterday I read a text called Power from the Sun. This text tells you about how the sun powers solar panels, and how a school uses these to power there school. My follow up task was to create this solar panel project that I did on google drawing.
What I did well in this solar panel work is that I listed what solar panels are and what is solar power. I could have improved on more lable so that my audience understands solar panels better.
Do you have solar panels at your house? Or do you use normal power?

Space Art.
Today our blogging task was to write about our space art. I did well in the cutting and colouring part.
But I could have improved my art by not leaving some white spaces. And finally my favourite part was painting my background. I will now tell you how I did my space art.
1. You have to draw some meteorites, a rocket and maybe a U.F.O
2. Cut the pictures out.
3. Colour the pictures in with pastels and you can use any colour you want.
4. Get a big piece of paper and paint a space background using paint and colours that you think space is.
5. Glue your pictures that you drew on your back ground. Now you are done. And have you ever made space art before? Have you seen a meteor and a rocket before?
My Reading Task From This Week.
for our blogging task was to find a reading task that we did this week. This is my reading task that I did last week. Doing this was confusing because I didn't understand some of the questions. Then I researched and I found the answers to the questions I didn't get. Have you ever written something about the moon? And have you ever researched about the moons phases?
