Geometrical Patterns

Today I had to create and describe a geometrical pattern. This is the shape I created using folding symmetry.

I can see that my shape has 2 lines of symmetry.

To create my pattern, I folded my paper 3 times, cut out designs and unfolded it again. This is a fun and easy geometry activity that really got us thinking!

Persuasive writing- best genre- Rom coms

Romcom books are by far the best genre out of all genres, why? Because it makes you cry and laugh. Don’t you just hate it when your standing in the library for ages trying to decide whether to get a romantic book or a comedy book? Well the standing is over because rom coms exist and its better than ever.

Not only are romcoms funny and cry-able, but hidden inside rom coms are tips for good education and good tips for life e.g in ‘The Juliet Club’ By Suzanne Harper, Sylvia which is one of the characters in the story says “Problems can be fixed. But unrequited love is a tragedy.”  And “Of course, all knowledge is useful. But not all knowledge is worth the cost.”  Rom coms are exciting because it’ll surprise you with their secret hidden quotes and lessons.
I’m sure everyone has expectations before they watch a movie. Whether its high expectations or low expectations, with rom coms theres no need for low expectations unless of course it really is a bad movie (this only happens probably because of the lack of characters and endings that don’t go quite like how you wanted) and i’m not just being bias.

Good Rom coms to read are ‘The Juliet Club’ By Suzanne Harper, ‘Ive got your number’ by Sophie Kinsella and shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella.
