Portrait Poem

I am Griffyn

Son of Erin

Who needs exercise, support, guidance

Who loves his family, his pets, reading

Who sees the good in everyone

Who hates ignorance, stubbornness

Who fears failure, snakes

Who dreams of magic

Who has found poems of laughter

Term 1 Week 6, Tech Arts

On Tuesday we had Tech arts. Tech arts is something you do Twice a week. The Tech arts you do are Soft materials, Hard materials, Science, Music, Art and Food. In Soft materials you sew things, in Hard materials you build stuff out of wood and things, in Science you learn about friction and things, in Music you learn how to play some instruments, in Art you draw, paint and paper mache things, in Food you cook food. At the moment the year eights in my class are doing Soft materials. Our main project this year was to design and make a sweatshirt. My sweatshirt is straight black with a pocket and a hood. I finished mine and had some time left in the lesson so I started to make a beanie. My first attempt did not work out so I had to start again. I had to get my friend to help me make it because I kept on sewing it wrong. So on Tuesday I had sewn a beanie and a sweatshirt.

Term 1 Week 4

This week we have been doing lots of tests and maths. In maths we have been going over Factors, Multiples and Prime numbers. Factors are numbers which are multiplied together to give Products e.g the factors of 24 are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24. Multiples are Factors multiplied together e.g the multiples of 3 are 3,6,9,12,15,18,21 and so on. Prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided by 1 and itself e.g 7 is a prime factor because it can only be divided by one and itself.
