3D Shapes - Octagonal prism

On Tuesday the 27th of March My class room 4 made some shapes out of clay. I wont be able to show you the shape I made because I broke it, so lets just say I made a Octagonal prism.
We had to show how many edges faces and vertices there is on our shape. On a Octagonal prism there is 24 edges, 16 vertices and 10 faces.
I enjoyed doing this because we could use clay to make shapes, I played with the clay a little bit and made a shape, then I broke it.
Here is a image of a Octagonal prism

Mr Wisemans problems

I have $375 in my wallet. Mum gives me $2 to buy
a scratchy. I get lucky and win $127 on my scratchie.

375 + 127 = 502

947 + 632 = 1479

On my birthday I received $236 from my family
in total and added this to my savings that currently
had a balance of $1254. How much money do I
now have in total? 1254 + 236 = 1490

Venus is 1683 degrees fahrenheit.
One day the temperature drops 387 degree
fahrenheit. What is the temperature now on Venus?
1683 fahrenheit - 387 fahrenheit = 1296

There were 1693 mls of juice inside the bottle.
Miss Clark drinks 573 mls of juice. How much
juice is left in the bottle? 1693 - 573 = 1120

The oldest cat in the world lived for a total 9463 days.
The oldest fish lived for 3853. What was the difference
in days between how long the cat had lived compared
to the fish? 9463 - 3853 = 5610

Extension Swift playground

This weeks extension we did swift playground again and we also did our extension DLO.
This week I learned about for loops, for loop just repeats the code a given number of times and I also learned "if" if just changes which path your code takes

Tidus Scrambled Sentences

today we learned to unscramble sentences that were scrambled and to put our punctuation in the right place.

Spectacular Shapes

We are learning to identify shapes by their properties

Tidus 3D Pentagon

This my not really good Pentagonal prism I made with these pipe cleaners, it has 15 edges, 7 faces and 10 vertices.

This shape is a Polyhedron, the square faces are made up of parallel lines and right angles.

Letter to Paking Save

Hi Manager

My name is Tidus, A year 8 student from Pt England School.

The reason I am writing this letter is to explain why single use plastic bags should
be banned from everywhere.

Did you know that plastic bags have killed many marine and native life?

That is because people are lazy and just chuck their plastic bags away on the ground,
then the wind pushes the plastic bags in the sewers or in rivers, which lead to the ocean.

Each year an estimate of 500 Billion to 1 Trillion Plastic bags are used worldwide a year,
which is over 1 million plastic bags a minute. Most seabirds are killed by plastic bags,
because they think that the plastic bags are fish. So Paking save, try to not use single
use plastic bags.

Yours Sincerely.

Tidus

Letter to Ms Tapuke

Dear Ms Tapuke,

Hello. My name is Tidus and my nationality is New Zealand and my ethnicity is
Samoan. There is only six of us which is my Step Dad, my Dad, Mum, Brother and
Nana. I am the youngest in my family, I am only 12 years old

I’ve loved gaming my whole entire life, it is our biggest
hobbies in our family. My favourite food is meatballs,

Colour is Grey, Orange and Blue. My favourite sport is soccer, but I don’t really play
it.

The only things I like at school is maths and fitness. My goals for this year is to get
good at reading, writing and stay good on maths. I do not like going up in front
of lots people, it makes me really nervous. So don’t recommend me doing the mihi.

My teacher for literacy is awesome, I like writing and kind of reading, I think if she
keeps doing what she’s doing I can learn and get better.

I am a really good gamer, i’ve been gaming for like 7-7½  years which I have
mentioned in paragraph 2. I also started playing piano in 2017 of August.

Yours sincerely,

Tidus Ulfsby

Explanation Writing

This is some work I had to catch up on, it was kind of cool.

Extension - Functions and For Loops

                                           Things I have learned in Coding so far
Our Extension class was using a app called Swift Playground. We learnt some things like A function and a For Loop.

A function is a piece of code that you can easily call over and over again. It includes the specific steps performed in the function.
We did some dance moves like the Macarena and repeated it.
A For loop is just a command telling the computer to repeatedly do something over and over again, or simply, a loop.

Tidus My Visual Mihi

This term we had to do a Visual mihi about us.
I really enjoyed doing this because I like drawing.
