Die on the workplane

Jenascia 5/12/2017

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.

Prototec

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.

How to write an explanation

Chemical and Physical change

Chemical and Physical change

What are chemical changes?

Chemical changes are changes that can’t go back to how it was at the start.

Example:

Bread is an example of chemical change, because once you toast it, it becomes toast. And you cannot change it back to bread again because it will just stay the same just get soft. This means that the change is irreversible.

This is also an example of a chemical change, because once you bake the cake it can’t be turned into the batter again.

Facts about Chemical changes

• Chemical changes cannot be reversed.
• You can have both and chemical and physical change at the same time.
• Chemical changes produce something new.
• Chemical changes happen everyday
• There are different kinds of chemical reactions

What are physical changes?

Physical changes are changes that affect the form of a chemical substance. The changes that are made can also be reversible.

Example:

An example of a physical change taking a glass of water and freezing it. Once it is frozen it had turned into ice. But if you put it in a warm spot it will melt and turn into water again. This means that the change is reversible.

This is also an example of physical change because one the chocolate melts you can freeze it so that it turns into chocolate again. It is reversible.

Facts about physical changes

• Physical changes can be reversed

Making Quiche

Food Tech

Once we made the quiche and it came out of the oven, I could smell the delightful scent of the quiche. When I tasted this dish I thought it was extremely good because it had so much yum flavor in it. Thankyou very much Mrs Heka for deciding to make this wonderful quiche.

How to get along with your classmates

Classmates are not always easy to get along with. At times you may feel as if you just want to fight or say nasty words to a particular person or group of people. However there are ways which may take a while in order for you to get along with your classmates and have a good friendship.

Telling them how you feel about hating each other. This might help because after all you could be fighting until the end of the school year. By the time it is over you will probably feel exhausted and out of energy to fight back at the person with whom you don’t get along. As a result trying this out could just make you best friends again.

Avoiding each other and not trying to annoy one another especially during class. Doing this in class and outside for a couple of days or even a week could just give you both a chance to be friends again. At first the result might not be as good as you want it to be, but it’s definitely worth a try. After all you will then have the time to think about what you have done and what you can do to fix your friendship.

Helping each other out whether it be during class or outside is one way to improve your friendship. If one day your enemy is struggling in class with their work or they had an accident outside while playing, helping them out would be good because you will both start communicating and getting along which is what you want, unless you want to stay enemies forever.

These are just some simple ways  for you to get along with your classmates. Even though it may be challenging at first, taking your time and waiting for the perfect time to do these thing may just even put a smile back on your face as well as your classmates.
