Transformation with grids

Today we found an accredited image on Explore and selected it to use on our page. We then put a 5x5 grid on it so we could copy the image and make it original. Mrs. Minehan selected the first two images so we could understand the process, then we got to choose our own image.
I found the first one kind of hard, because I couldn't get the lines straight.
The second one was a tree and it was very challenging because of the shape and the shading.
I chose the image of a moon for the other one because I had to shade bits and get the shape perfect.
Have you ever tried to transform an image using a grid? How did you find the process? Was it hard?

How to play last card

How to play last card

You’ll need: 1 pack of normal cards, with no Jokers.

Card values (highest-lowest): No properties 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, Jack, Queen, King, pickup 2, pickup 5, miss a turn 10, change direction 7 and change the suit Ace.

Goal: to be the first person to get rid of all your cards.

Deal everybody 5-7 cards
The dealer starts. He/she flips over the top card on the deck and tries to match it with he/she’s hand. Say the card is a 7 of diamonds, he/she can play either a 7 or a diamond. If he/she does not have a card like that, or an Ace, they have to pick up a card and wait till their next turn. Then it's the next person's turn, and so on.
If someone plays a 2, you can either match it with 2, a five or pickup 2. If you match it the next person has to pick up the number of cards it added up to.
When someone has only one card left, they say “Last card”. If someone else goes before they say it, they have to pick up 2 cards. If they do say it and get rid of it on the next turn, they win.
