Mini Geometry Project:
1. Draw a 10cm X 10cm box.
Inside this create a shape using geometrical shapes.
2. Repeat your shape (Tesselate), use colour to show the pattern you have mode more carefully
NEXT draw/show the following on your design 1. Lines of reflective symmetry
ii. Centre point of rotation
iii. translation of your shape
iv. enlargement
v. reduction
3. Show rotations of your shape.
i. 1/4 turn clockwise
ii. 270 deg. right
iii. 90 deg. anticlockwise
iv. 45 deg clockwise (Draw and label these)
4. 3-D Attempt to draw your shape in 3-D depth, height,width.
Then draw the shape from the following perspectives , top, front, left.
5. Label the part of your 3-D shape with these words face, vertices, edge
6. Creat a net of your shape and make it.

READING TASK:
Read the following extract and then do the activities that follow:
"The Rain Came" by John Marsden
The very next day the rain came, good soaking rain that filled the dams and greened the country, even if it was too late to give us much feed. But I never found out if the heifers got in calf or not, because less than a month after that the soldiers invaded and normal life ended forever. There was no time then for for carefully culling poor performers as part of a long-term programme to improve the fertility of the breed. No time for long-term programmes of any kind.From the time the bombers roared overhead and the tanks and convoys rolled down our highways, there was time for one thing only and that was survival. All our energy went on that.
Sometimes there didn't even seem much point to it. Why go through hunger, cold,exhaustion,burns,bullet wounds,the death of family and friends, when at the end of the day the invasion had been so successful that we had nothing to look forward to anyway?
From: The Night is for Hunting, Pan Macmillan, Australia.
1. What country do you think this story was set in? Justify your answer with any evidence you feel you have acquired to support it.
2. When do you believe these events occurred? Why do you think that?
3. Describe what life would have been like up until the invasion.
4. How do you think life would have been altered at the end of the invasion?
5. What steps would the author have to take to try and recover the farm and it's function to pre-invasion days.
VOCABULARY:
Copy the words and beside each one write their meaning as you understand them to mean, then select 4 to write the dictionary meaning of them, how close is your understanding?
e.g. soaking: Me Getting wet right through.
Dictionary: completely wet.
soldiers convoys wounds
culling survival invasion
fertility exhaustion successful
COMPREHENSION
Using evidence from the text to form your answers, complete these:
a. The rain came too late to do what?
b. What does culling poor performers mean?
c. Do you think the author sounds happy and up beat, or unhappy and downcast? Give reasons for your answer.

Brain Storms by Tony Ryan
1. The World's Tallest Building
As one of the world's most famous engineers, you have been asked to design a building thst would be the tallest on Earth. This building needs to be constructed to solve a serious land shortage problem in the city.
YOUR TASK
Using one sheet of newsprint and some masking tape, construct the highest possible model of this superbuilding. It should remain standing for at least one minute, but cannot be attached to the ground with tape.
Suggestion: The design of your foundations
2. The Cockroach Protection Device
A nanotechnologist has blasted you with a reducing ray, and you have shrunk to the size of an ant. You suddenly notice a cockroach in the distance , and it immediately starts to chase you.
YOUR TASK
Construct a device that will protect you from the cockroach, and will also force the giant insect to go away.
