Passion Projects-Term 3

Geometry- week 4 maths sample

During Maths week (week 4), we have been focussing on Geometry. We had a choice of 10 different Geometry based activities. We needed to select 5 different activities and provide evidence when completed. 

The evidence I collected:

What I enjoyed about this maths week was:

I enjoyed the maths question's at the start of the day because I was working well with all of the other students to work out the questions. Also the different maths rotations was fun.

What I challenged during this week doing:

The angle worksheets were quite hard at some points but Mr Henderson helped us out on that and then we completed them.

My next step in Geometry is:

Angles. I am not that great at figuring out different angles. But I am working on this.

Weekly Reflection- Week 3/4

Something I enjoyed from week 3 and 4:

Throughout the last 2 weeks we had a few events on. One of these that I enjoyed was maths week. Some of the things that we did in maths week was class questions which we narrowly can third 1 point off getting 1st. Another thing that we did was we had a different maths programme with this we completed activities and we had to have 5 by the end of the week.

Something that challenged me during week 3 and 4:

Working well with my friends really distracted me because I got really distracted at times and this nearly lead to unfinished work. But in the end I was lucky and I caught up on everything.

A value I have been showing consistently and how:

Reflect. With this I have Reflected on my writing especially my 1960's writing. But also in Maths. With this I have been rewarded with a values and beliefs certificate.

A value that I think I need to improve on and how:

Responsibility. With this it is because I have not completed work to deadline. I will work on this next week.

Breakdown of Rainfall in Christchurch between 10-17 of June

But why would there be so much rainfall in the past week? Just think it is the middle of winter. My theory behind so much rain 65mm to be exact is because Christchurch in the winter is a very cold and miserable place to be, unlike other city's on the other side of the world. This is because we are so much further away from the equator than these other city's. Also when it rains in Christchurch it just keeps on raining and it feels like it never stops.
