TERM 1 WEEK 6&7

I'm really enjoying rock band, and I have been practicing the song. Our song is called heavy dirty souls by 21 pilots. I have been doing a lot of reading tasks lately, and the topic is about the Holocaust which is about the Nazis in WWII. I have learned so much about it Like how over 6 million Jews got executed. In Math, I learned about scientific notation which seemed really confusing at the start, but now I understand it and find it pretty simple. I've also done revision on BEDMAS which is order of operations. Because there is a B at the start of the word it means you would work out the problem that is in brackets because B stands for brackets. Then E stands for exponents after It's D&M which is division and multiplication, then A&S which is addition and subtraction, so after you've worked out the division&multiplication you would then work out addition and subtraction. I've been enjoying robotics lately, and we started using the spheros which I really enjoy. I learned heaps on the video about computer science. I also had to install a game called Atlantic which is about coding your robot and taking it places which sometimes was really difficult with the math. I didn't do very well in the punctuation test, but I've learned so much about commas and awubises. I also learned that an appositive is extra information in a sentence that is not needed, so you put the comma at the start of the appostive and at the end. I've finally finished my jersey for tech arts which I'm really proud of.  

TERM 1 WEEK 5

This week on Thursday the call backs for rock band had to have a go playing as a group, so the teachers could see if we were in time. I'm now officially in rock band playing 4 string bass guitar! We won softball 8-3 against room 16, so now we have a 3 win streak. I worked hard at soft materials to get my white hoodie on which was really hard, and some of my pouch poket got sewed on. We had a boating safety thing in the pool and I leared some new things like how you have to lie on tou back with your feet toward the current while you are going down a river, and when you jump into the water with a life jacket on you hold onto your life jacket near the neck and take 1 step into the water. We had swimming sports, and I got 3rd in non champs freestyle, and 2nd in non champs flutta board and walking race. I was also in the year 8 relay for Mangapiko and we came 2nd in the relay, but sadly Magapiko came 4th overall. In math, I've practically finished the worksheet that you have to round significant figures with. I learned that a significant figure would be a number like 10. e.g round 19.73 to a significant figure. Answer =20. At home I've practiced how to read music for bass guitar, and I found it pretty simple. I did robotics for the first time this year and I really enjoyed it. I learned about Binary digits which is known as bits. It gets complicating but the first bit would be 1, then 2, 4,8,16,32, etc. If you had to figure ou the number 18 you would turn over bit, 16 and 2, so the would go 0,1,0,0,1,0.
