Die on the workplane

Today I have worked on a project which was on how to get a work plane to work for me. While doing this activity I found some of the steps difficult because I couldn’t really understand it that well. I tried anyway and I managed to complete most of it. At the end I was able to finish the whole thing and now I know how to get a work plane to work. In my opinion this has helped me a lot because I now know who to confidently use a work plane without struggling like I did before doing this.

3-D Shapes Activity

3D Designs lessons

Today I have been completing lessons, in which I had to use 3-D shapes. The site I used was tinkercad and to me it was very helpful because through each lesson I was able to experience making different types of things using all the  3-D shapes that were given. I went through each lesson without struggling because the steps were pretty simple to complete the whole thing. When I finished all of the lessons I managed to move on to my next project which I will soon finish as well. I definitely think this tinkercad has helped me familiarize myself with 3-D shapes and how I can use them to create a bunch of different designs.

Today I have completed my basic facts test, which was on stage 7. While doing this sheet test I found most parts of it easy like Multiplication and division, but when it came to the fractions and percentages it started to get challenging. As I finished the test, I felt surprised because I only got two wrong which were in the fraction and percentage part of it. Next time I sit this test I will try my best to get all of the equations correct so that I get a better score and know I have improved.

Easttle Reading Results

Easttle Reading

Here is my result from e asttle reading that I completed yesterday. When I saw my results from this test I felt very happy because as you can see I didn’t do very well on my last test which was a level 3-4. While I was doing this reading test, I definitely thought it was challenging for me because, it made me think a lot on what answer to choose. Overall I am happy with what I got, but I also know I can go a level up if I try harder next time. My goal for the next test is to get a 5B or more.
