What I did
Reading
This week I have been reading a book called Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve.For reading I 122.56have made my own version of the book cover. I chose to draw my own cover version of this book because I really enjoy doing art and liked the theme of the story.
Writing
For writing we had to start a plan of a story. I chose the theme of horror. I didn’t know how to make a horror-like story, so I watched one of the videos. To try to make my horror story, I decided to use the video called ‘Sounds from a Haunted House’ as inspiration for my haunted house story. The video was just sounds, so I tried to make it a little bit more intersting than just that: So I used some of the sounds as characters.
Mathing
For math we had to make a weekly menu for a family of four ( two adults and two children ) and listed menu items.
I did the weekly menu and recipes,amounts of food items used, converting measurements,creating a shopping list and working out costings for both the shopping items bought and how much I used for the menu. For the recipes I used the Edmonds cook book. I also used this book for working out measurement conversions eg cups of flour and rice into grams. Tablespoons into ml.
I had a budget of $200 and I used $122.56.
It was really hard work, but I enjoyed it. I even helped my mum make Lasagna one night.
TV School Programs
I have been watching some of the learning programs on TV. I watched all of the Aotearoa History program which was really interesting.
