Awesome Tuesdays

Hi bloggers, today I am going to tell you about the awesome project we do every Tuesday. So every Tuesday the year 7s and 8s go to manuel, so us year 5s and 6s do a project. Last term it was based on superheros and we did lots of fun activities, but this term we are doing be a detective! We started of with a few slides asking questions like; what makes a good detective, it was really fun because at one point we got to go in a group of two and think up some great ideas. Then we got some ink pads and sheets of paper and put our finger on the ink and then stamped it on the paper, it looked awesome because you could see all the little details on each finger. After doing all those fun activites we got to do something else really cool which was going on a site that had a case and you had to try and be a detective and figure it out. I only just started that though so I can't tell you much about it yet, but even though I only just started I still found it really interesting.

Thats all for today hope you guys enjoyed my blog post. Keep doing great blogging!!!

Packing squares

Yesterday my class started a challenge. What we had to do was get six counters and get lots of polygons using that amount of counters. A polygon is a shape that has no curves just straight lines for example a rectangle or square is a polygon but a circle isn't. Here is lots of polygons that I did using 6 counters.

After that we had to add another counter and do lots of polygons with 7 counters, here it is.

Home learning

This week for home learning I decided to do the activity when I try to make 44 in a way that I want to. I am going to try use lots of numbers

So this is my equation

4 squared times 2 plus 2 plus 2 * 5

Thank you I hope you found that equation interesting

My awesome toothpick project

Today in my class we started an activity called tooth pick squares. The first activity we did involved a pattern. It started with one square which had 4 toothpicks and then there was a second square that had 7 toothpicks when added with the first and then it went on, but we had to try and get it to 9 and figure out how many toothpicks it would take here is an example.

way you don´t want to be like Julian

Today in class we were thinking of ways you do not want to be like Julian, who is a person from wonder who is a bully. So I decided to make a google drawing of ways you don´t want to be like Julian.

Science inquiry

Hi bloggers. A while ago you might remember I posted about Science Inquiry. But I said that we hadn't done much yet so I couldn´t show you, but we have been doing it for a while now so I  to show you guys one of my subquestions. Please tell me if you like or it or if there is anything I should improve on! Here it is!!


Question: Does blood pump from your heart or does it just go around your body

Everybody's heart is made up of two pumps. The pump on the right side receives blood that has already transported oxygen around the whole body and sends blood the blood to the lungs.  The pump on the left side pumps oxygen rich blood into the arteries of tissues and organs. So blood obviously does pump from your heart because your heart is the main part of your circulatory system. Therefore it is the heart that causes the blood to be moved around the body.

I hope you guys liked the sub-question, please give feedback!

Home learning week 10

Hi bloggers, this week for home learning I chose to do the activity: If you wake up one morning and everything was black and white what colour would you miss the most. I also got my sister to choose one she would miss. I though that the colour I would miss the most is probably blue, because the sky is blue and the sky is beautiful, but it was a close decision between green and blue because green is my favourite colour and the grass and most nature is green. My sister also chose the same thing as me (blue) and she also did that partly because the sky is blue.

Please comment below what colour you would miss the most and why?
Keep doing awesome blogging guys.
