Maths Angles

We have been working on angles in maths using a protractor to find the different angles. The angles we have been learning about are acute, reflex, right angle, obtuse, revolution and straight angles.

Narrative Writing

This is what we have been doing in class,We watched a video called oktapodi but we had rewrite the ending we want to happen. 

Oktapodi (Alternative Ending)

As the two octopus were jumping through the pools of the street with the man trying to get to them, there was a big octopus driving an aston martin. He hit the the three-wheeler truck. It seemed as the big octopus missed, but the truck toppled over and a flock of seagulls picked them all up. The seagulls sent them to the lair or nest and started a cauldron - adding food into it.The octopuses couldn't believe their big eyes they watched the gulls. Then the big octopus started to wiggle his tentacles through the lock and he broke free. Then there was an explosion and the big octopus splattered into ink. The others tried to wiggle out too, but they escaped. Scary sharks were in the water circling...

Maths, Reading & Visualisation

In reading we have been working on our comprehension strategies.Last week we focused on visualisation - they way we can create mental images when we read to deepen our understanding of the text.We read a short passage that explained how to measure a very tall object without having to climb it and we visualised how we would do this.

Yesterday we went out and put this knowledge into practice. In the passage it told us to simple grab a pencil and measuring tape. First put the pencil in line with the base top to bottom of the what you want to measure and then you turn the pencil vertically,then you tell your buddy to move to end the pencil. After you have finished estimating where to stand you need to grab measure tape and measure the length of how far your buddy is and then try and get the measure tape to the top of the thing you measuring. Test the end results and compare how far you got see if you can beat us!

Economics

Economics is about how we use our money and trade resources to build a sustainable system and also how use our resources in a great manner. Basically humans have unlimited wants and we have limited resources.  Economics is about satisfying the people of their wants and needs and making decisions about what to produce with limited resources.
