Technology Wood/Evaluation

1. How well did I do in completing all of the things that I needed to do for this project?
I did all the steps correctly as instructed.
2. The design ideas?
I had approximately 8 choices of design ideas in mind. The following list: A box, Pencil holder, Jewelry tree, Sauce/Seasoning holder, Phone holder, Mirror, Art stand.   
3. The final choice?
My final choice of what I wished to create was, a 'phone holder'
4. The working drawing?
The working drawing of my phone holder, included the measurements of the length and width of the phone that will be used for this project. And a full-size drawing of the chosen design, marked out with wood.
5. The marking out?
I used a 360cm piece of wood, to mark out my full-sized working drawing. I also used the same piece of wood to mark out the joints, for wood thickness. 
6. The sawing?
I firstly used the saw to cut 100cm of wood, for the stand. Then I used it a couple of times to cut through my joints, while Mr.Grundy had other shortcuts to use.
7. The chiselling?
I used a chisel together with a mallet, to carve out any remaining chips of wood from the inside of my joints. 
8. The assembly?
The last and final added bits and pieces to accomplish my project, was the side pieces which were clued in place, to secure the phone from falling to the side. And the last added piece to my project was the bottom stand, to maintain and support the phone to stand firmly. 
9. Looking at what you have produced:
10. Does it work?
Yes, and is in good condition!
11. Does it look good?
Yes, it looks creative.
12. Is there anything that you would change, if you were to make the same project again?
No, it's perfectly fine.
13. Is there anything else you wish to say about it?
I found it partly easy and hard to create. But I enjoyed designing and creating this project, as an individual!

Literary Luminary

Today for my given reading task, I have completed a activity called 'LITERARY LUMINARY'. This task has three interesting/confusing passages from the book I have chosen. And explains why I chose
each one.
  

Text Connector

Today I have finished a reading task labeled "Text Connector". This task helps to relate to yourself, other books you've read, and the lidget world. I have come up with 2 main ideas each, I believe that relate to TS, TT & TW.

Succinct Summariser

Today I have completed another reading task, for the book "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas". This task is called "Succinct Summariser", the goal is to find keywords in the text, and summarize the first two chapters.

Technology Wood/The Process

Tools:

Steel rule

Tri-square

Mallet

Marking gauge

Wood chisel

Claw hammer

Backed saw

Bench hook

The Process:

Step 1. I firstly used a: Pencil, paper, ruler and piece of wood, to make a full size working drawing of my phone holder... this is so I know it is possible to make and I can plan it out incase a mistake occurs on my piece of wood (which is not erasable).

Step 2. I used a pencil, tri-square, and ruler to copy the measurements from my drawing onto the piece of wood.

Step 3. I marked a square line (at 90 degrees) across and vertically, using a:pencil, ruler and tri-square.
Step 4. I cut off the first piece of wood using a Backed saw and bench hook.
Step 5. I then marked out the joint by using a piece of wood (for wood thickness), pencil, tri-square and marking gauge.
Step 6. Next, I used a Backed saw to cut upon the marked line used by the marking gauge. 
Step 7. Then I used a sharp Wood chisel and Mallet, to carve out the remaining wood pieces, to create the joint.
Step 8. I then added my 100cm piece of wood to my joint, and left it to glue together for a while.
Step 9. The assembly: I then traced two of the side pieces on to a thin, flat piece of wood.
Step 10. Next Mr.Grundy Cut out the two pieces using a cutting machine. Then were glued one on each side of the phone holder.
Step 11. Lastly I added a thick, but short length piece of wood into one of the created joints, to help the phone stand firm onto the project. 

2019 GOALS!

Yesterday for reports, I've finished an Goal presentation. I have goals each for reading, writing, and math. It contains my current level, where I was previously, what my goal is, and what my favourite activity was. I am in working within the curriculum!

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (Word Whiz)

Today for middle block, I completed a reading task. I used the book "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas". I chose the word whiz task. Instructions say, to search for new and interesting vocabulary, define the meaning, and find synonyms! At the end you must write your own sentence with your selected word.

Times Tables

Today for math, I completed a times tables task! There are 65 multiplication equations in total. I completed all 65, answered 2 incorrectly, and ran out of time to answer the last 2.

Khan Academy

Today, I learned about "Misleading line graphs", I learned this on Khan academy:

BEDMAS

Today for math I have completed, a BEDMAS task. I only made it 8 levels up, and earned $80. I believe that I should improve more on ordering my operations, correctly!

New Vocabulary

Today for reading, I have completed a vocabulary task! We used the writing from our recent activity called "Collaborative Mystery Solving". I found a few interesting words, which I used to define the meaning, search for similar words, and create my own single sentence with. This activity was quite easy...but I found a few words hard to understand:

Long Division

This morning, I tried a long division activity, which helps people who are currently struggling to understand how it works! It goes step by step:

Preventing a Twitter Fail!

Today for middle block, I finished of my second punctuation task, which is related to twitter! You're supposed to fix each incorrect sentence, by using punctuation marks.

Same sentences...different meanings!

WALT:Use punctuation, in our writing, so we can be able to receive a higher mark!

Today for writing, I individually completed a punctuation task, which was used with the same sentences, but awfully different meanings! The following instructions, is to: try and fix the sentence, so it will make proper and understandable sense, by using punctuation marks! Next, is to create your own illustration example to show the difference in the same sentence.

-Collaborative Mystery Solving

Today my friend and I, worked together to solve a mysterious problem, about a "Map of the Traitor". We found it quite easy, and enjoyable! This is our second time working together to try and solve another mystery, and we worked quite well! 

Khan Academy

Greetings! Today I started off my morning task with Khan Academy. This website is great for beginners and pros. -You can also add your teacher with a special #code, so she/he are able to set important tasks for you. I completed the complementary and supplementary task:

Collaborative Mystery Solving "The Liars Club"

Today for our middle block, my partner and I done an activity called "Collaborative Mystery Solving". We have four suspects:Debra, The butler, Luke and Olivia. The problem is that there are 6 valuable dices that belong to Debra's grandfather.....which were stolen. We have to figure out who stole the dices by working like a detective. We have been given clues about each character in the story. We found this task partly easy and hard. We both enjoyed this activity, and we had fun working together! Here are some clues we found in the story...

Technology Wood/Story

I have chosen to make a...Phone Holder for my Dad.
I think this is the best choice because...It makes life much easier.
It will be used...for holding a mobile phone.
(What for? How? Where?)...
Holding a mobile phone, by gently placing it on the thick shelf section with the two side pieces to keep it in place.

Angles (follow up)

WALT:Identify the missing measurements by using complementary and supplementary angles!

Fakalofa lahi atu! So today for our middle block we had the choice to finish our math tasks, and math follow ups, which were all about "Angles". We are split into separate groups in regards of what level we are currently learning at. Our group were focusing on complementary&supplementary between different types of angles. We basically did 3 complementary and supplementary quiz games, took a screenshot of our results, and shared it! The first game I tried was angles on one side of a straight angle.The next game I played was slightly the same, but with all sorts of angles. And the last, was similar to playing matching (memorizing cards). I had a blast, playing and also taking part in learning new skills and strategies, and hopefully i've improved and gained much more knowledge about complementary and supplementary angles!

What is in out blood??

Today our (science) topic was all about what is in the blood. We learned about the 3 blood cells, that basically help us survive. Today I wrote a DLO (digital learning object) about the 3 blood cells, and what they do. I enjoyed learning about each blood cell, and i believe that it has a big advantage for our lives!!
