Logo Design For Maths.

Maths-Design a logo.

In maths this week we have been designing a logo that has symmetry. I designed one for a dance studio called  'Dancing with the stars'. My slogan was

"5,6,7,8 Blast off!"

I found a picture of a dancing girl on the internet and the used her as my base. I then changed some things up when I drew her. 

My drawing shows symmetry. The mirror line is where the two girls toes meet.

We had to create a poster with some maori body parts on it. Below is my one!

ODE TO MY EARS

Oh, my stylish ears,

helping me to hear,

waggling on the side of my head,

waiting for a story to be read.

The music wafts inside you,

like bubbles that once flew,

you’re always listening to the sounds,

to the barking of my hounds.

Oh my, stylish ears,

You’ve been with me for years and years,

eavesdropping on my sister,

talking about someone who kissed her.

Maybe I could pierce you,

decorate with diamonds of blue,

but I’m pretty sure that it would hurt,

and a little bit of blood would spurt.

I thank you ears for helping me,

you’ll probably will die when I’m ninety three!

And I know you will always be there,

hidden underneath my unmanageable hair.


P- It was really simple!
M- It was hard to come up with rhyming words!
I- I had no idea that I could write an ode so easily!

Electronics

My Learning Journey at electronics started today. I found that the Get Ready Get Thru website says that we need a torch with spare batteries in our emergency kit. I am going to design and make a torch ready for an emergency.

Body Parts!

Yesterday, we had to make a body part out of plasticine. I worked with Kaitlynn, and we made intestines! It took us awhile t come up with what to make. We actually originally settled on lungs, and then at the last minute we changed it. Kaitlynn and I worked well together, as we had a job each but maybe next time we should decide on what we're doing first.

I wonder.....
-Where do the intestines lead?
- Do the lungs inflate and deflate when you breath in and out?

OUR INTESTINES!

Working Away! :-)
