Transformation

Description:  
We have been learning about transformation.  We have specifically learnt that...

  • translation is when an object slides in any direction;
  • rotation is when an object is turned around a central point;
  • reflection is when an object is flipped and has a line of symmetry.

Our challenge was to design a car badge that contained at least one of these aspects of transformation.

Big Idea:










Feedback/Feedfoward:
I like how you have made sure the owls are showing reflection but next time you should make the s's  show reflecton. but otherwise it's awesome - Aria

Evaluation
I think I could improve on adding more detail in my coloring. Next time I will add something like rotation-Aria

    Swimming Smart Goals

    Description:
    For the last few weeks we have been do swimming in our school pool. We have be working on freestyle and backstroke. Our swimming days are Wensday Thursday and Friday. I'm good at remembering my togs every day we go swimming.

    Here is my video!!!



    My goal in freestyle is to look down not up so then
    the water doesn't stop at my head. I will do this by wearing goggles so I can see.

    My goal in backstroke is to keep my tummy and
    hips up and out of the water. To get better at this I will push my tummy out of water.

    My goal for swimming sports goal is to at least swim in two heats. To get better at this I will put my hand up for the events and give it my all.





    Evaluation: I think I could work on not wiggle my bottom
    because thats what make me go wonky.

    This is my second test which I did get over 80% on so I didn't get up to stage 6. So I'm on stage 5.
