Conrad's Cooper's last

In my reading group we have been reading this book called Conrad's Cooper's last stand. Conrad's Cooper's Last Stand is about a boy called Conrad his parents are having some problems. His teacher at school read a book to him about Tane Mahuta. For people who don't know who he is a Maori God of nature like animals,plants,forests. In the book that the teacher read to him has Tane Mahuta. Conrad has recentley believed in Tane Mahuta.He has reached out to Tane Mahuta to help him with his parents problems.He has also made a kinda friend but he's second guessing it. I defenitely recommend reading this book, because it is interesting and makes you wanna read more.

Equilateral Triangle

 In EL4 Maths strand ,we have been learning about angles, in particular different types of triangles. Today we had to draw a Equilateral triangle. Equilateral triangles must have the same length on each side. Equilateral triangles add up to 180 degree. It should have 60 degrees on each side of the triangle. By the way, this triangle is 2 D.3x60=180 degree. All my sides were 60 degree but we had to measure in cm too.I got 5 cm on the bottom line and 5.5 cm on the right hand side,an 5.5cm on the left hand side. I measured my angles using a protractor. If you don't know what a protractor is, it's a measuring tool used to measure angles. Here's my try to a perfect triangle.

A trip to the past

This term's focus at our school is retro tech.Me and my group got a retro calculator we were very confused at first with what it was.But after researching we found out.

Last Thursday we went to the Museum of Technology.There were so many sheds filled of retro things like washing machines,kitchens,salons,calculators,army tanks,and fire trucks.I couldn't believe that the used that and  stuff like 30 years ago.Technology has evolved a lot since then.Here are some pictures from the Museum.
