Maths Week|Scale Drawing

Last week LS2 has been doing scale drawings for Maths Week. This is my second time doing this and I think I've done better than last year. Last year I drew a NBA player name Lebron James. This year I decided to draw a animated character from Naruto which is Ashura. Our ratio was the same as last year which is 1:2. The hardest part was for me was drawing the enlargement which I need to improve on. The best part about scale drawing was coloring it in because it made the picture look more alive and stand out. If I was to do this again in secondary school such as graphics class I think I will need to work on drawing my enlargement and making sure it is measured properly and I would probably draw a cartoon person such as Stewie Griffin. 

Scale Drawing

This term we have been focusing on Scale Drawing. We have been learning how to draw a butterfly using a grid. Scale Drawing is when you print a picture you want (for example a dog) and enlarge it by drawing the picture a bit bigger. First before drawing our picture we had to draw a grid over our printed picture and then do the same to our bigger paper but twice the size. During this term of learning Scale Drawing we used ratio to find the correct spaces of our picture. I decided to draw Lebron James because I think he's an inspirational basketball player. It was a bit hard to draw him especially the eyes, ears, mouth and nose. I think I have done a really good peice of Scale Drawing. 

Cross Country

This term LS2 has been practicing and preparing for Cross Country. We have been learning how to paste ourselves. Before and after running we always have to stretch. It is important to stretch because it will help loosen your muscles. We have been running five laps or more around our school fields which I think is good. We have been practicing two times a week. On Wednesday which was the School Cross Country. Everybody was excited and bit neverous. The Cross Country went in year groups so first was the new entrance kids and went up to the year seven and eight. The new entrance kids were running 1 lap. They were amazing. They didn't give up even though it was muddy. Girls were been told to go first then boys. They year seven and eight did five laps. Five laps was lots so everybody remembered to paste themselves and to breathe in and out while running. Before running everybody were stretching. I am a year seven boy which meant I had to do five laps. When I crossed the finish line I was told I came fifth. I was very proud of myself and will do better next time.
