Matariki Reflection - Week 10

Last Monday was Kauri hubs Matariki workshop day. You had to choose 3 workshops unless you chose making Maori kites, mural art or sewing which you have to do for the whole day. 
The workshop that I chose was sewing and as you can see in the picture I am using a sewing machine. 
The thing I found challenging was trying to get the lines straight when I’m using the sewing machine, but the thing I found easy was keeping the sewing machine nice and slow.

Area Week 6

 We use Area in almost every thing, even video games like Sims and Mine-craft where you have to plan the Area of your house.

A Square grid is the thing that most people use to find out the Area of things like buildings and houses.
If you wanted to build a pool the counsel would say you have to have a fence around it so that's where the grid kicks in.
  What you have to do is find a big piece of land for your pool and then you measure the Area with a tape measure and then draw it on the grid and then go show it to a builder and then they will build it for you. 
Here is an example of anotherway to find out Area, what you do is count one row and one column and then do a thing we like to call length x width so when you have the total numbers of the row and columns you multiply them and then you have the total number of the square units inside a shape.
