Raisins

This reading comprehension was about Raisins. I had to read this short story first and then answer some question related to it. While I was reading this I learnt a few things about raisins that I never knew before, like how long they have been around and how they are made. At the end of this game my score was  75% and I was extremely happy.

Measurement game

Today in class I have been playing this game based on Measurement. I thought this was challenging and easy at the same time, because some of the questions were hard and some were quite easy for me to complete. As I was playing I only got 1 wrong and to me that was good since it was my first time playing.

Introduction

Gutter Board is an outdoor game that  can be played in pairs or just one on one. It needs a triangular prism board and a small bouncy or tennis ball.

First of all are the rules. The rules has to be understood by the players. One of the rules is stepping over the line when throwing the ball, if this happens then the ball must be handed over to the other team and it will be their turn to have a go.  All ball must be thrown from behind the line.

Before the game begins the board has to be placed in the middle of the ground between 4 evenly spread parallel lines.  now  at the first line the ball has to be thrown accurately 15 times on the board making sure that the ball is caught each time. Once the ball has been thrown 15 times on the first line then move on to the second third and fourth line. On the second line the ball has to be thrown 10 times  the 3rd 5 times and the last line 3 times. While playing this game if the ball is thrown but not caught then it  must go straight  over to the other team for their turn.

If one team wins the game then it can be played over and over by other people which you can challenge.

In conclusion I am extremely sure that this is a cool game that can be played with friends or even family and it will be enjoyable no matter if you win or lose.

How to make a cementing mug

A cementing mug is a piece of art that may sound hard to make but looks very nice once it is finished. Even though it takes time to make in the end it will be worth it. If you would like to try this piece of artwork then follow these steps.

Things you will need…..

• 2 long flat woods
• A working bench and saw
• A hammer
• Nails
• Cement
• A container
• Cardboard + Hooks
• Sellotape
• A mug
• Paintbrush+Paint

Steps

First of all you need to make the frame. To do this you must grab your long piece of wood and mark it into 4 pieces making sure that they are each 20 centimetres long. Once you have done that you will then have to cut it very carefully using the workbench and saw. After that using the hammer bang 4 nails into each edge so that it will stay in place.

The next thing you have to do is get your hook and place it underneath the frame at the top in the middle ,then stick the hook onto the cardboard using the sellotape. When you have done that go ahead and stick your frame on making sure that it is on properly so that when you add the cement in it won’t move around.

Thirdly once you have stuck your frame and hook onto the cardboard you will then have to get your cement ready. To do this you first have to grab your container, then you will need to put 2 ½  cups of cement into the container along with  1 cup of water, after that then mix it gently also make sure that you mix it very well. If your cement is a bit too watery don’t worry because all you have to do is add a little bit more cement into your container. When you think your cement is ready carefully pour it into your frame and then stick your mug in the center. You will have to leave it to dry for 2-3 days or more.

Fourthly after it has dried up you then have to slowly take it out of the frame. Once you have done that using a piece of wood from the frame scrape each side of the cement making sure they are smooth. After doing this if you want you can paint it any colour you like and to make it look good you can also add a plant into the mug if you want.

In conclusion making a cementing mug takes time and lots of steps but the finished look is very nice and can be a really cool decoration.

Basic facts

Today I have been playing this basic facts game. I choose to do stage 7 because I thought that I could challenge myself and  try it for the first time. While I was doing this I found it challenging especially when I did the fractions and percentages because it was new to me, but I tried it anyway and got a few of them correct. At the end of this game I got 34/40 and I was astonished and happy at the same time.

Fraction Bingo

Today I have completed this fraction bingo game. I had to find the fraction that is equivalent to the one given. It was challenging for me because I didn’t really know how to work it out and I didn’t understand it, but as I kept playing it more I kind of knew how to do it. I think this game would be perfect for someone who needs practise on their equivalent fractions because it will help them to understand it more.
