Quaid - Hexagon Art

This is my Hexagon Art.
I used a compass and a protractor for my design.
The thing I like best about my design is the colours because they make a nice contrast.
I would change the pace I worked at because I took too long.

Xtramath Result


This is my Xtramath result. As you can see I scored lots of smileys and two crosses. The two crosses are constantly mixing me up with the opposite number

8x8=64 not 56
7x6=42 not 49

My Timetable Progress


In Week 6 I scored 53. This is the best score I ever had. The trick I used is that I did the 9 tables going down and then the 8 and so on. I think I can still beat 53 seconds as Menchung got 45 seconds as her result.

Quaid Holiday Reading Skit

Quaid School

School
L.I. Personification

School
She watches over me
And smiles
She holds me in her warm arms
And teaches me all she knows
She scolds me when I am bad

What does the word scold mean?
Doing something in a negative way.

What is personification?
Making non living having living appearances

Choose something to personify e.g. car, TV, house, bed, pool, river, sterio…
Star
Write 5 lines that personify the object you have chosen.
The star dances in the midnight sky
The star winked as I fell asleep
The star glazed at me while I watched the movies
The star smiled at me as I reached for a cookie

The star murred in disbelief as I was put in the wrong for something I didn’t do.

Xtramaths

This was my Xtramaths Test result I completed today. I have been slack and not practicing my tables over the break but next time I will definitely try harder

Stan Walker Current Events

New Zealander Idol, Ex X Factor Judge and singer Stan Walker has recently released his new single to start Maori Language week. This song is sung in Te Reo Maori because it is Maori Language week. This song hopefully is a hit. This year theme, Te Kupu o te Wiki is all about learning a new song every week. Many brands and companies are getting behind this by making use of their weekly mailers. These are some of them . “It’s not just for people in New Zealand, but people from New Zealand who have moved all around the world that can connect to this song, to connect them back home. Hopefully it will encourage them to learn a bit more Te Reo.” said proudly by Stan Walker.

This is were all our generations were born and were we belong. 

Xtramath Result - By Quaid


This is my Xtramath result. It shows that I got most of them right except for two of them. I am being tricked with 7 x 8 and 8 x 7. They look different but have the same answer fifty six. Next time I should focus more. Please leave your digital footprint by leaving a comment.
