Tessellation

This is my tessellation.

A tessellation is shapes/a shape that you can translate to make a repeating pattern with no gaps.
I only used one shape that is a triangle.
My shapes have been tessellated by translating and reflecting.

Antarctica tourism

Some people believe tourism in Antarctica should be allowed but others believe not. Once you have read this you will be able to make up your mind.

Tourists go to Antarctica to see the amazing wildlife. It's the only place in the entire world they will be able to see the animals that live there other than museums. If tourists have the time and money they should be allowed to visit Antarctica but they must follow the rules.

Trips to Antarctica are very expensive. Expensive trips attract very responsible tourists. Responsible tourists are more likely to follow the rules.
People believe that tourists should be able to go to Antarctica for the trip of a life time.

However others believe that you shouldn't be able to go to Antarctica. They believe that going there could upset the breeding of the wildlife. If the animals don't breed they could die of over the years. That would be bad.

Also if tourists were allowed to travel to Antarctica where would they stay? They would have to stay in hotels. Building the hotels could cause pollution and destroy Antarctica.

In conclusion the debate about tourism in Antarctica is going to continue for a very long time. I believe that tourism shouldn't be allowed in Antarctica because its a unique place that needs to be protected. So, have you made up your mind?

My hopes and dreams

My flag symbolises the army Air Force sticker, kiwis fly. I chose this design while I was thinking of what to draw when I saw the sticker. The best part of my flag is that it is an army sticker and my dad is in the army. Unfortunately my dad isn't in the Air Force. If I did it again I would use a thinner brush so people could actually read the words. I would also add a tiny bit more detail.



This was my second one. It is a rugby ball leaning on a mug of beer. I did the rugby ball and because rugby is my favourite sport and the beer symbolises people watching the rugby at the pub. The best part of this flag is that one day I wish to be an All Black. Next time I would add a clothes line in the background with rugby jerseys hanging on it.

My hopes and dreams flag

My flag symbolises the army Air Force sticker, Kiwis fly. I chose this design because while I was thinking of what to draw I saw the sticker of it. I changed it a little bit and stuck with it. The best part about my painting is that it is an army sticker and dad is in the army but unfortunately my dad isn't in the Air Force.
If I did this again I would use a thinner brush so people can actually read the writing. I would also add a tiny bit more detail.
