Transformation

Hi Hello Hola bonjour kia ora I hope you are having a lovely day. Today for maths we are looking at transformations such as rotations reflections and translation, I did this slide with my best friend elise (who is also my table buddy yay) and you can see the slides I have done because they will say what kind of transformation they are above them. The hardest part of this task was trying to find logos that actually have transformations in them. I hope you enjoy this post!

Converting improper fractions into mixed numbers

Today in lockdown learning we were sent this slide from our teacher asking us to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers. I found this really easy because our teacher also sent a video explaining how we solve the problem. But the hardest part of this task was finishing all eight slides. I hope you enjoy and stay safe!

Octopus information report

Introduction

Octopi is an eight-legged animal with the brain in each leg. Octopuses or octopie are intelligent and tricky creatures that lurk under the surface of the ocean. In this information report about octopus, you will find ordered with a subheading, topic sentence facts on an octopus habitat, predators, different species, and prey.

Habitat

Octopuses live in many different places under the ocean.

Octopi can be found in kelp forests and sometimes coral reefs. Octopi tends to prefer waters meaning they live in the sunlight zone. They can also live in tidal rockpools where using their soft body they can disguise themselves as oddly shaped rocks. Octopi also has no skeleton so they can squeeze into tight places.

Predators

Octopi has a range of predators...

Here are some of the predators of an octopus: Seals, fish, conger eels, sea otters, moray eels, dolphins, many birds, sperm whales, and sharks. Octopi have clever ways to defend themselves against predators one of these is expelling themselves out of water when they are threatened.

Different species

There are a lot of different species of octopus around the world.

There are 300 species of octopus, for example, some include the coconut octopus, blanket octopus, and the California two-spot octopus. Some species of octopus are rarer than others. Different species live in different environments such as the pressure under the sea. Here are some other species of octopus: blue-ringed, giant pacific, common, and Caribbean reef octopus.

Prey

Octopuses eat a lot of different sea creatures.
Octopus feed on crabs, clams, snails, small fish, and sometimes even other octopus! Octopie is one of the most intelligent creatures in the sea to catch their prey. Octopie also has a source of venom and in one species (the blue-ringed octopus) the venom is deadly to humans.

In conclusion, the octopus is an intelligent and credible creature I hope you learned something new about the amazing creature by reading this report.

Caption: Hello everyone I hope you are all well and welcome back to my blog! Over the past few weeks, we have been working in groups on an information report about octopus to work on topic sentences and paragraphs first we did a draft copy, and then we all did it separately on our blogs. I hope you enjoy this post!

understanding pi

Today for maths I have researching about pi, and create this google drawing, to clarify our information we had to checked at least 3 three different websites and they had to say the same thing we were writing down. This, to me was a very enjoyable task but the hardest part was getting enough information in the time we had, next time I think I would try and get at least on more paragraph down. I hope you enjoy this task!

exploring circles

Today we are learning about the measuring, and exploring the radius, diameter and circumference of circles. We went around the classroom measuring the circumferences with string and the radius and Diameter with a ruler. To complete this task we had to measure at least five different circles from around the classroom. This was a mostly enjoyable task but to me the hardest part was putting the string around the different circles with the amount of time we had. I hope you enjoy this post!
