Statistics

Statistics

Last week we did our statistics math test. I did well as I got 97% and made a silly mistake on the histogram graph. What I did was I left an evenly space gap between each bar where that is for a bar graph. I've learnt my mistake and next time I will remember to look at my studies so that I don't get confused. So far I have improved on my maths skills especially mean, median,mode and range. 

 For me to remember math was to complete the worksheets and if I couldn't understand something I would ask a friend or the teacher. Statistics was fun and an interesting topic to start the year.

Camp

Last week the year 8's went to camp. We all had a fantastic time and wished that we could stay for another week but then again none of the girls liked the 3 minutes showers. Along the way we learnt new rhmys such as " If it's yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down" and "Lefty loosely, rightly tightly" We used these rhmys daily especially if we had to go to the toilet.

The activities that we did were challenging especially the 1st cave. It looked so small that I thought I would get stuck. It took me a while to get over it but once I was confident I just went. The first few parts of the cave was when I was shaking but once we reached an open space I felt fine. I saw heaps of glow worms and was following the water current because that was the way out.

The activity that I found easy was the flying fox because I knew that there was no possible way of falling off. It was a long wait till I got my turn but the wait was worth it. I let my arms go and the wind was pushing me from behind. I felt as if I was flying. Once I reached the end I looked beneath me and I saw a river it was beautiful. I then was slowly taken up and was pleased with the ride and that was the first activity we did.

My favorite moment of camp was having the party cabin. Everyone wanted to come in. We shared stories and gossiped a lot. No one in our cabin wanted to go to sleep so we stayed up pretty late until the teachers told us to go to bed but we still were whispering.

The night that I enjoyed was when we all got together and sat outside in our sleeping bags. We tried to do the Harlem Shake but it was to dark so you could only see Jacob in his sleeping bag doing a worm dance.(It was funny)

On Camp I got to no my classmates/teachers more and I also met our very cool instructor Helen the leader of  "Pink Fluffy Unicorns"

Comic Drawings

Comic                 

For this terms topic were doing Super heroes and Villains. So far it's been a good start and I can't wait till we get more in to it. For the last 2 weeks we had to draw a three panel comic page showing our super hero that we created. It seems to be quite difficult as I'm not that good at drawing although it is still fun to give your super hero really cool costumes and gadgets. 

For the art I have done my first panel which is a full body pose and still working on my seconded and third. I'm still trying to find a good mid shot of my character in action and for an extreme close up on a really detailed eye. So far I have improved my sketching skills and learning to draw different poses while looking at them upside down.(So you see the lines and not the shape) 

Hopefully by the end of this week I will have completed my task and make sure that it is up to a high standard.

Is anyone struggling on the drawing and colouring in?

Well for me I'm struggling but I'm getting there.
