My Architect Work: Teagan

This is my architect work.

We had Miss Corbett she gave us a maths task to do. Her sister is studying to be an architect. We had to use a meter ruler to measure the desks and tables and doors. We had to scale down 150 cm to 15 cm to make it fit into our page/plan of our classroom. Then we had to rule the desks, tables and doors out on another page. We then cut it out, glued it into position on our cardboard. We had to put the desks, tables and doors where they were in the classroom. This picture above is where we want the desks, tables and doors to be in our dream classroom. I had a lot of fun and want to do it again.

Playing Squash

This is squash. If you don't know what squash is it is a sport. Its like tennis but you have to hit the ball over the line on a wall. You have to serve it higher than the middle line but your not allowed to hit above the top line. We started balancing the ball on our rackets and then started playing the real game on the wall in the picture. We had fun and I hope we do it again.
