Review:

Virtual Tours are like a simulation that makes you feel like you are somewhere you are not. Virtual tours are an amazing feature to technology that lets you explore a building or city. There are some bad things about it though, its sometimes lags badly, it is sometimes 2D and it can be fake meaning that its not really what the place looks like. Sometimes it is a very accurate tour and it can be in 3D which gives you a very good idea of what the building or city looks like.

One of the best virtual tours I have been on is the Monster MIlk Truck, it lets you drive around the world in a milk truck and do any tricks and other stuff that you want.

Although its a little bit glitchy and its sometimes 2D depending of whether you have good internet connection or not, it is a great game and it fills spare time with a little fun. If you want to play the Monster Milk Truck game go to this link but beware you need the google earth plug-in to play this game.

What do you do in your spare time?

Life ED Movie

Sound quality: voice volumes, background noise, distracting sounds

Our voices were a little bit quiet but you could hear our voices clearly.

Camera skill: steadiness of the camera, effects, angles, locations, lighting

Acting: robotic performance, realistic acting skills, script genuiness, speed of replies, facial expressions, looking at the camera, tone, FAKENESS

It was pretty realistic and nobody looked at the camera.

Editing: flow in the cut scenes, transitions, music effects

The flow was crisp.

Poem: time, quality of the poem, scrolling speed, voiceover, poem is relevant to the movie content

I think our poem had a nice time on it but I think only one person should have read it instead of two people.

Quality of the life education message in your movie (the Script): realism, was it a good message?

I think it tells you that you should't smoke but it could of been a better message.

Teamwork: all team members were working equally, nobody excluded, everyone had a role, everyone had a choice, how your group solved problems

I think we worked well as a team, everybody got a say in what we did and we solved our problems easily.


Overall I would rate our movie 7/10

Life Education was a great opportunity to learn about the many things involved with puberty and drugs. Michaels main focus was to help us delay the decision on doing drugs until we have finished puberty and our brain has completed its developing.

b) Stars = Southern Cross

c) Union Jack = The treaty of Waitangi.

2) Name the 3 flags of the 3 countries which are combined to make the Union Jack = England, Scotland and Ireland.

Rotational Symmetry

Translations: Rotational Symmetry

1. Go through the MyiMaths lesson doing all of the activities Myimaths-Shape-Symmetry-Rotational Symmetry
2. Create a blog post: Title: Rotational Symmetry Label: Maths
3. Answer these questions

1. In your own words explain what rotational symmetry is. Rotational Symmetry is where a shape can rotate and be the same as it was when you started.
2. A shape has an order of rotational symmetry of 2. What does this mean?A rotational symmetry of 2 is where the shape can be exactly the same twice through out the 360˚ turn.
3. How is rotational symmetry different from line symmetry?  In rotational symmetry if a turn of 180˚ or less produces an image that fits exactly on the original and in line symmetry the shape can be mirrored.
4. What do you do to check if a shape has rotational symmetry? You rotate it.
5. Find pictures of 3 real life objects which have rotational symmetry (not shapes, objects e.g. foods, logos) and paste them into your post

Complete this table

If a shape has rotational symmetry of order 3, how many degrees would it rotate to match itself? Answer = 120 degrees

Order	Degrees of rotation to match its shape
2	180˚
3	120˚
4	90˚
5	72˚
10	36˚

4. Do the Mathopolis quiz and record your score

7/10

5. Create an amazing design with the order of symmetry = 5 using symmetry artist. Screenshot and add it to your blog post.

6. Worksheets at the front of the room. Glue into your maths book and write the date and learning intention. (see Miss Campbell for a mini lesson on how to do the grid worksheet)

a. Rotational Symmetry is where a shape can rotate and be the same as it was when you started.
b. A rotational symmetry of 2 is where the shape can be exactly the same twice through out the 360˚ turn.
c. In rotational symmetry if a turn of 180˚ or less produces an image that fits exactly on the original and in line symmetry the shape can be mirrored.
d. You rotate it.
