Tessellations

This week for maths my math goal was: Identify and use the features of a figure that do not change (invariant properties) as it is reflected, rotated, translated or enlarged.A tessellation is where a shape stays the same when it is reflected, rotated, translated or enlarged. There are only three tessellation shapes they are, square,triangle and hexagon. We had to make a tessellation, I used this website to create it then put it on google drawing.
This is my tessellation.
Have you ever made a tessellation?

Sentences and Punctuation

This week for writing my goal was Attempt more complex punctuation.We had to take sentences from our report we wrote and change them.We did the before and after of the sentences then we wrote a little on why we changed it. I focused on semi colons and dashes.I also looked at complex and compound sentences.
This is my poster 




Have you ever looked at this kind of punctuation ?

Making Connections

As we all know learning at school has been a little different this week.For reading we had a hub call on Wednesday then we had a group one on Thursday,where we sheared our learning to the class and our reading teacher.My goal for reading this week was all about making connections to the text.We had a few goals they were, Make connections between and across at least two texts and general knowledge to expand meaning and pose questions,Use prior knowledge to connect to at least two texts,Make connections between at least two texts and own life experiences. We read to stories then had to fill out a template.
