Tessellations

Last week we worked on Tessellations. A Tessellation is a shape that links into a copy of that shape, or another shape.

The method involves cutting a section from the square and joining it on the opposite side of the square. Here is a picture of my Tessellation:

Writing: Optimist Yachting Safety Guide

Today I finished my writing I had been doing for a few days. It is a safety checklist for optimist yachting. My task was to create an optimist yachting safety guide that is easy for someone who hasn't done optimist yachting before. I hope you like it.
