This week in maths I have learned about dividing fractions, ratios and now I’m working on converting fractions and decimals to percentages. To divide fractions, make the reciprocal of the divisor and make it  multiplication instead of division. This means turn the second fraction around, example 4/5 divided by 2/3 turn 2/3 to 3/2 so it’s 4/5  x  3/2. Then multiply 4 x 3 = 12 and 5 x 2 = 10 so it’s 12/10. I learned about ratios, ratios are like saying 20 to 31. it’s written like 20:31, to turn a ratio into a fraction, just go 20/31.

In writing this week I have finished my report about the weta. First I went through the information sheet and highlighted the facts that I wanted to put in my report, then wrote them down on the not taking sheet. Then, using just the note taking sheet, I wrote my report.

Also I’ve started on an English task that I had to read an exert of a story and answer some questions about it. I haven’t finished that yet though.

In tech arts, we’re doing sewing at the moment, I’ve cut out all my fabric and sewed my pattern on (which says ‘Soph’ and has a love heart under it),  sewed the shoulders together and pinned the hood. Next week I will continue sewing my jersey.

On Friday I am going, along with some other Jump Jam leaders, to Morrinsville to perform Jump Jam in front of some other students. The big group of Jump Jam leaders is split into 5 groups. I’m in group 4 and the song we’re doing is called ‘Gonna make you sweat’ It’s fun but tiring and a bit hard to remember all the moves.

My Goals for next week are

  • To have sewed some more on my jersey in fabric, tech arts.
  • To have finished all my maths and be up to date with what needs to be done.
  • To have finished my English work on time.
