REACH WITS

Some things you can say:
1. What are you on about, you don't have a cough
2. Naaa I'm dying I need it to my self
3. Aww sorry we just ran out 5 seconds ago

You're at a party and the friend who was supposed to give you a ride home is drunk or high on drugs. She insists that she's fine and tells you to get in. You know that getting in the car with her would put your life at risk – and hers -- but you don't want to make a big scene.
Some things you could say:
1. I'v been internalising a serious situation in my head, you're to drunk to drives, lets just crash here.
2. I think its that time where we should catch a cab, you may think you're fine, but it's for the better of us.
3. I like buses, bus are are cool, why don't we catch one?

During a free period at high school, a guy or girl you like suggests that you go off in the woods behind school to smoke cigarettes. You really like this person and don't want to embarrass yourself. But you also don’t want to get smoke.
Some things you can say:
1. Awww i'd love to but, I'm allergic sorry, you can even ask my mum.
2. I think i hear my mamma calling, cyaaa
3. You know what, I just had a puff not long ago, I think I should lay off for a bit. (Kidding ofc)

A kid at school is having a massive party this Saturday because his parents are out of town. You know that lots of people there will be drinking. A friend really wants you to go with him. You don't want to go. Some things you could say:

Rotational symmetry

In your own words explain what rotational symmetry is.
Rotational symmetry is where you can have a shape and rotate it so that it can fit perfectly in the same position as when it started. However a full rotation does not count as rotational symmetry.

How is rotational symmetry different from line symmetry.
Line symmetry also known as reflection symmetry is different to rotational symmetry because it is where a picture is reflected to the other side of an image. The reflection does not have a certain direction it can go up,down or side, to side even diagonal. Rotation symmetry does not have a certain direction it just has to spin so that the shape is at its starting point.
What do you do to check if a shape has rotational symmetry?
You put a pin in the centre of a shape and rotate it so that it fits perfectly to the starting point without turning it a full rotation. If it does not fit perfectly on on e of the rotations it does not have rotational symmetry.

Find pictures of 3 real life objects which have rotational symmetry (not shapes, objects e.g. foods, logos) and paste them into your post

Fixing punctuation

“MUM! where are my favourite socks?” I asked yelling for help.
“And where are my Tuesday undies?” asked dad searching through his draws. “You know I have to wear them today. “Just wear mondays undies no one is going to know,” replied mum.
“No ones going to no you say, I’m going to no and to wear Mondays undies, pfft that would be idiotic,” dad answered back with a streak in his voice. This was only the beginning of our family disaster.

For the next few weeks things were starting to disappear and fast!
With dad losing his Tuesday undies and I losing my favourite socks, Isaac then lost his favourite bow tie, while mum then lost her favorite dress.

We thought we were going mental,
”It’s not like they could just hop up and run away,” said Isaac.
Mum suggested that we recap our steps,
“When was the last time you had you items?” she said.
We all replied, “Before washing day was the last time we had them.”
“So maybe it’s the washing machine that’s caused all this drama,” mum said with a glimpse a hope in her eye.

As we checked the washing machine there was… nothing!
With nothing to prove I decided to put a Go pro in the machine to watch it in action, to see if there was something suspicious really happening inside. What I didn’t realize was that the washing machine would take my Go pro too.

“AHHH IT”S GONE!” I yelled at the top of my voice. “What are we going to do?”
“Lets just give up,” Mum said to me.
“Fine if that’s the best idea,” I moaned.

A few weeks later Isaac had dropped his toy car behind the washing machine and as we were looking for it a pair of undies popped up out of the blue just sitting there. “Mum look!” I said with a big grin on my face. “Who would have guess.” We both stood there smiling.
