Maths Tessellations

I drawn the shape into paint, the shape that  was  a triangle. The triangle was transformed by being rotated and moved, the triangle was reflected by being copied into lots of shapes and it was translated by making the triangles into a shape of a hexagon.

We Are Learning How To design and create tessellations to explore and transformations.

I designed and created the tessellating pattern by:


  • Drawing a triangle and draw a line in the middle of the triangle.
  • Copying and pasting the triangle into 4 triangles
  • Rotating each triangle to different degrees.
  • Placing one triangle at the top facing down and one triangle at the bottom facing up.
  • Placing the two triangles that was left and placed it at each side and made the 4 triangles like a cross
  • Adding 4 little triangles at the edge of each big triangle and draw scribbles in the middle of each little triangle.
  • Coloring the patterns into any color.
  • Making the shape (hexagon) that I made smaller and copying it.
  • Pasting the hexagon tessellate and made into a bunch of patterns.

Azonto Crew

This Movie that I mostly recommend is 'Azonto"  by Tamaki College

'Azonto' is a movie that features kids running around the city dancin  with lots of amazing talents. This movie plays a song called 'Azonto', it was very catchy and it got me hooked as a fish! All of them were wearing white masks, black pants and black shirt. This movie encourages people to dance and entertain  viewers.These kids can enter a dance competition!I can't wait to watch Tamaki College next movie.

A Nightmare

Jack is a teenager that lived in a town called Westches, while he was walking down the street he saw a house that has been surrounded by the police. “What’s going on Sir?” He asked “A person committed a murder in this house, we’re checking the place for some clues’.Jack suddenly had goosebumps everywhere, the house owner was his childhood friend ‘Jill”!

He ran as fast as he could to reach his house and tell his parents the horrible news,he opened the door and saw a person with orange hair, white painted skin and the longest hat he had ever seen.The strange person was holding a cup of tea with a huge smile on his face, ‘who are you?”Jack asked but there was silence. Suddenly Jack recognised the mysterious person “Freddy!”He ran out his house and saw him standing on the lawn.

Everywhere he went he was there!Jack didn't know what to do he was confused as a sloth, he ran as fast as the wind.Jack was thinking why a murderer was chasing him, then a bell went on! “Freddy just got out of jail, he was a nice man but he was framed of a murder.But I still don’t get it why he’s trying to kill me.” Jack wondered, after 5 minutes of running he met the end of the road. His heart and soul was pounding as a bomb he turned around and saw Freddy right in his face, “You destroyed my life!” Freddy shouted. “What did I do to you” Jack asked, “Don’t you remember, you told your parents that I murdered Principal Gretel and they told the police. Now I’m going to kill you and the other people that told on the police!’Freddy shouted in anger!

Freddy’s knife was about to meet Jack’s chest, suddenly a light appeared at the back of them. It looked like a shining mirror or a huge flashlight then Freddy turned around , a silver truck with humongous lights were heading it’s way, it looked like it’s brakes were broken but there was no driver in the truck, it was going to hit them!

A few more milliseconds they will be dead or paralyzed but Jack found himself at his room with no truck, no Knives and especially no Freddy. ‘Was it all a dream or did it all happen”.

Swimming is Essential





Have you imagined innocent kids drowning in that big piece of water? That’s why kids in New Zealand need to learn how to swim.

The most special thing that can help us how to swim is a pool,a pool can help us how to be confident in the water. Swimming Pools can help New Zealand kids know what to do if there was a real wave heading our way, kids can be taught where and when to swim. A pool is similar to an ocean but only shallow, so New Zealand kids can be cured of drowning if the New Zealand Government change their mind and let each school have a turn with a swimming pool.
A swimming instructor can change a child’s life too, a swimming instructor encourages kids to learn how to swim in different and helpful styles. There’s lots of swimming styles that helps us how to save ourselves from the unpredictable waves that can kill us in a second but the problem is that we don’t know all the swimming styles needed, that’s why we need a swimming pool and a swimming instructor.
