Do you know your angles for triangles?

This morning in maths we investigated the angles of triangles.


  • Firstly I drew an equilateral triangle
  • I cut out the triangle
  •  I cut all the corners off
  • Then put each of the cut corners into a straight line

  • After I drew a second triangle which was a isosceles triangle
  • I cut out the isosceles triangle
  • Then cut off the corners
  • I put the cut-off corners into a straight line

I learned that 3 angles of a triangle equals up to 180 degrees.

Do you know your Graphs about the Pukeko In The Ponga Tree?

After I selected work then inserted it into the  graphs. - Above. The next step was to customize the graph by adding the title, and axis headings.

Mmmmmm chocolate eggs

LI: Write an advertising critique using ethos, pathos and logos


The ad writer uses the phrase “Don’t get caught”
to really grab the attention and repeatedly used
their phrase throughout the ad.

The writer mentioned the phrase about the
little girl “this little angel has a secret love”.
And used the phrase “this little devious boy” for the boy in the ad.

Because the creme eggs look delicious on
the ad it makes people watching want to buy it.

In the advertisement at the end it says
“can’t resist ‘em, double chocolate coated creme
egg or in other words their irresistible.  Using adjectives like this
makes your mouth water, because it was double coated eggs
with creme on the inside with
caramel in the middle.
