On Tuesday, Nogo's maths group we used protractors and compasses to draw a flower. I found it kind of confusing at the start, but Nogo showed me how to do it and it made sense eventually. It was cool to see how a pattern could be made by just connecting some points we had drawn. After we could colour it in any way we liked.
This is how mine turned out:
For literacy this week, we had to choose 2 moments in New Zealand history that happened in November.
I chose the Ballantynes fire and the Mount Erebus plane crash. Here are the infographics I made on Canva:
Today in maths we went out into the car park and, using ratios we counted the number of cars, SUVs, trucks, and other vehicles. We found that the ratios were:
27:10:2:1
We may have got the number a little off because we didn't really understand the difference between cars and SUVs.
We also had to find out the ratio of white cars to red cars. The answer was:
11:6

The problem we are trying to solve is that traditional space suits are too heavy for anyone to live forever in space. We have designed them to fit the needs of someone living on the planet Titan. The suits need to be temperature controlled so that they keep you warm when you are cold, and cold when you are too hot. The suits also need to be light and flexible enough to move around in, after all, you are going to be spending the rest of your life in them. We have added pockets to keep equipment in, protective boots, metal shoulder plates, sturdy bulletproof corset, as well as a lighter version of the regular space helmet.
Here is a draft of the design:
We are also going to dehydrate different foods and see how much of a difference they are in weight with and without water.
