Art

Drawing is peaceful

To create beautiful art

Pencil strokes the sheet

Birds

The birds ruled the sky

Sweeping down to greet us all

Soaring in the sky

These are too poems I created this morning . They are called Haiku poems, the way the poems work you have to have 5 syllables the top, 7 syllables in middle and 5 the at the bottom. my to Haiku poems or about art and birds.  

Today for online learning maths we had to figure out how many balls would be in the triangle if it went all the way up to 99. I had to have some help with this because my smooth brain can't figure it out on my own. on each line added one more and you had to add all of them up to see how many you got. Once you got to 99 you would have ended up with 4950. But that would have taken ages and a very big triangle to figure out. 

So, to figure it out we made a table with the line number in one column and the number of balls in the next column. We could see that if you divided the number of balls by the line number, the answers on the odd number lines went up by 1 each time. This would still take a long time to add up so we looked for another pattern. We saw that if you halved each odd number and added .5, and then multiplied by the odd number by that number, we got the right number of balls. So we did that with 99 and got 4950.

We did this sum (99/2+0.5) x 99 = 50x99 = 4950.

Of course I had a little help from my mum but I helped to .Do you think you could have figured this out? BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💖✋✋

part 2 of total number

 

Ok I figured it out from the help of Caleb, it's my good friends school, it was the same thing just backwards. Let me explain. Caleb and to start in between the highest and the lowest, from there I figured out. You already have the total numbers you just had to figure out what the numbers were on the board. The total numbers were. 9 11 13 15 16 18 20 23 25 30. I figured it out from there and the answer was. 5,3,10. It was good to finally figure it out. Ff you'd like to my blog posts please leave a comment. BYE!

reading task

 

For our reading task today we had to read a poem called Fly. The task was to read the poem and if any lines represent the other story we read. It was a bit confusing because the poem was quite different than the story. 
 

total number

 Today for maths I had to figure out the total number of points you could get from three dots and three points, 9, 2, 5, and get a total number of points. This was part of my online Lockdown learning. I had lots of fun doing this, and I also had my mum to help me to. My total numbers were 19,21,12 ,9,13,18,15,6,27,16. It was difficult to understand it first but then it got easier. I hope I have more fun learning to do like this in lockdown. Istill haven't been able to figure out the second question but I will be able to get some help tomorrow. What has your Lockdown been like?                                         

Ghost

  The Ghost detective

A cold winter morning, the sun was starting to rise. There was another case to crack. This is the story about the detective who was solving a case he would never expect to solve.

D.T Stryker was the best detective in London. And he was about to solve the hardest case head ever done. He got a call from his partner Louis. “You ready for this.” Louis said on the other end of the line.

“I will meet you at the warehouse.” Stryker replied. There had been an ongoing weapon dealership, and Stryker was going to catch them red handed. They drove to the warehouse in Louis's Silver Mercedes 

The warehouse was thought to be the suspects' hideout. The suspects names were. Fang-Bob, Switchblade-Alex and Bigg Boss-Joey. They have slipped away from Stryker many times before, but he was positive this time he would get them. “So how many people do we have hear on the sight?” Stryker asked Louis. “We have snipers and S.W.A.T teams surrounding the building.” He replied. Stryker looked at his best friend who had been there for him every step of the way, and said. “Are you ready for this Louis?” “yes you?” Louis replied. The duo walked into the building ready to strike. But when they stepped into the warehouse they saw the three gang members, but they didn't see them how they expect it to see them. “W-what happened hear.” Louis said confused. They both stared at the three bodies lying on the floor. Stryker heard a click behind him. It was a bomb. “Ru-” Stryker shouted but it was too late, the bomb went off.

Smok filed the ear, and there was a piercing ringing sound in Strykers ears. I survive the explosion. He thought to himself. then he remembered, where's Lewis! Stryker scan through the rubble, to try and find his best friend. “Where are you Louis!” Stryker shouted. He was running around the crumbling building. He turned a corner, and was shocked to see, his own body lying on the floor. Stryker couldn't believe his eyes. He knelt down to brush the dust off the face, but his hand went right through it. He was a GHOST...             

Stryker was horrified. “Am I a ghost?” He said out loud. Stryker came to his senses after a while, and thought to himself. If I'm dead who planted the bomb? Now this, was the hardest case. 

How did this hapon. If it wasn't the gang members. That means we have a bigger threat on the lose. Even though striker was dead, you still had his detective instincts. He had to figure out who did this to him. In the distance he heard a voice shout, it was Louis’s voice. Stryker couldn't see anything there was to much smoke but it didn't affect his lungs. Even though he couldn't see anything he followed the sound of Lewis's voice. But suddenly a pile of rubble fell in front of him. “AAAH!” Stryker shouted. Nothing happened. He was inside the rubble! having a sense of his newfound power strike a new what to do. 

                             

The beach

On Saturday morning we went down to Ahipara beach for, fish and chips. We usually go to Kerikeri on Saturday, but because of lockdown we went to go to get Ahipara instead. After we had fish and chips on the beach, we went to go explore the Rock pools. While we were walking around the rock pools I spotted a huge pool I could swim in. Luckily we had the wetsuit in the car so I could go swimming. I had a great time skimming across the water with my surfboard. It got cold after a while, so I went to go look for a another rock pool to swim in. About 10 seconds later I found a huge pool probably about 2 metres deep. It was just like a hole in the ground filled with water. So naturally I did what any 12 year old boy would do, I jumped in. It was so much fun, but eventually we had to go home. I hope you liked my blog Post, if you did please leave a comment. What have you been doing in lockdown?
