Geometry and measurement

for maths, we have been learning Geometry and Measurement for the last few weeks, the slide I found the easiest was this one because all you had to do was look at the shape and the numbers inside, then you add up the numbers inside till it becomes a bigger number, then you have to figure out what is the number you have to add it up to in this case our teacher added a video which says what number you have to add it up to. 360. then you either take away the number you have from 360 and then you have your anwser, well that what I did maybe you have a different way of finding out this sum.











Thanks for reading!

Study novel // Enemy at the gate

For reading this term the teacher provided us with this new thing called 'study novel', each reading group has a different book/novel depending on their reading ability, I got given a book called 'enemy at the gate' by Philippa Werry.
Philippa Werry is a New Zealand author and has written around 50 books from the earliest of 1999 and her latest of 2018.

The book I'm reading at the moment (enemy at the gate) was published in 2008, it takes place in December 1936 where a thing called polio cases were suspected. then a Polio epidemic was sweeping the country. the schools, swimming pools, and movie theaters were banned for children, travel was restricted down for children as well. The main characters name is Tom and he LOVES to run just like his idol Jack Lovelock. Tom was also the best runner in school, he has a best friend called Charlie, they live in a little bay called Lyall bay. I haven't read much of the book as I'm only up to chapter 4, so there's not much more I can add.
