Tane- Enlargement

Yesterday we were learning about enlargement. Our task today for maths was to enlarge a picture of an ant, hat, dinosaur, or lion. As you can see I tried to enlarge a picture of an ant it sorta came as I pictured it but I drew the last part of the ant to big. The little picture of the ant is 9 centimeters and the large picture of the ant is 18 centimeters so the scale factor is 2. I had to count each square on each picture as I started to draw the larger ant so the measurements could be as precise as possibly. I found this drawing activity a bit difficult because the legs and the circle at the end was hard to get in the exact spots. After doing this activity I would like to learn more about co - ordinates.

Tane- Play with words

Walt: Understand 2 meanings of puns.

A few days ago I was learning about puns which means a play of words. First there was a picture of our principal and the whole class had drawn eyes around his face because he always uses eyes by me as his pun. The real meaning of his pun means look at him. After that we had drawn eyes on the picture of the netball. We had drawn eyes on the netball because our teacher uses eyes on the ball as her pun when we play sports. The meaning of our teacher's pun is to keep looking at the the ball. I think it was fun drawing eyes around the teacher and on the netball. A pun that I had seen on TV was I was struggling to figure out how lightning works but then it struck me.
