Maths:

Yesterday the 30th July 2015 we started Chinese Multiplication. At the start I didn’t get it. It seemed really easy after a while. I think it is easier than long multiplication. I really liked this activity.

Hi Everyone,

Crusty Crayfish Clinging on to Colourful Crafty Cups!

Thats just one of my awesome Alliterations! This week we have been working on Alliteration Poems! I chose the letter C. I am really proud of my work because of my awesome presentation and of course my Crafty poem!

By Hayley

Today I finished my Alliteration poem (good copy).

I think I did a good job on my wording and I thought I did an awesome job in relating my pictures to my words.

Overall, I thought I did a great job in my poem.

Science

          (Mould)

During the last 2 weeks we been learning about mould and what makes it grow best.

All groups chose a different location with either damp or dry bread. My group chose a dark/warm place with a damp bread. In the first week it had lots of mould and the bread got a little bit decayed.  It looked gross.

In week 2 we had even more mould in all different colours, shapes and sizes. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Today we did the speed challenge and we did the 10 times tables with 2 seconds for each question.

It was really fun and exciting.

Haiku poems

L.I. I can write a haiku poems and can choose specific vocabulary.

Winter

Cold like an ice cube,

Cold wind is soaring outside,

Playing with some snow,

Summer

Burning like a pot,

The boiling breeze  is blowing,

Having some ice cream,

Autumn

Loving the cold breeze,

Having some fun with some leaves,

Collecting some leaves,

L.I. I can calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle.

Today we learnt how to calculate the area and perimeter of triangles.

I have learnt how to find the area of a triangle.

I have found that you have to times the base, being the longest edge, by the height, being the highest point in the triangle from the base.

I liked working with my friends to get it done!

This week we are continuing to focus on our understanding of area and perimeter. This website is a fantastic way to practise measuring accurately using a ruler and using this information to calculate the area and perimeter of regular shapes.

Dear Mum,

I miss you so much. Thanks for the warm socks and scarf because at night here is very cold and chilly. Living in the trenches was better than I thought. We here have good bedrooms and they are really comfortable to sleep in. I heard a lot of gun fires and I also found my own dog for helping me. Thank you for the ANZAC biscuits they are really delicious. I hope to hear from you soon.
