Comparing Good Characters

Kia ora,

This week, we are learning about the ways writers describe good characters in their stories. We had to read several texts and then create a Comparison Matrix to show how the Clothing, Personalities and Physical Appearance of the good characters were similar.

The hard part was: finding words to describe the clothing of the princesses because the writers didn't say much about the clothes.

The easy part was: finding the personalities about the characters.

Perimeter and Area

Hello everyone,

For the last weeks, we have been learning about perimeter and area. After learning about multiplying two sides of the shape, (height and length) to get the area, our teacher Miss D, created a fun presentation for us to figure out the perimeter and area of shapes. The hardest part for me was figuring the area because I multiplied the perimeter too much. The easy part was finding the perimeter. The learning behind this was to learn about perimeter and area.
Here is my presentation:
