This week has been Maths Week. We have been learning about fractions, decimals and percentages. We were using a calculator to convert fractions, decimals and percentages and eventually we created a superhero! We also worked in groups to solve problems and created posters to show our working (a lot of us used pizzas to help!). We had 3 teacher superheroes this week who were on the lookout for the Maths Menace. Misba worked out that Mrs McKim was the Maths Menace.

We wrote a nature poem using metaphors and similes. It was nice to think about nature and it related to our learning about John Muir.

In Science we were learning about the solutions to plastic pollution and we have started to create information posters/booklets/slides on our Google classroom all about it. Did you know there are more micro-plastics in the Ocean than stars in the Milky Way?!?! Also, did you know that the weight of plastics in the Ocean is greater than nine Empire State Buildings!!!

In Art, we have been focusing on shading, tone, line and texture. This week we were given half a face and we had to draw the other half. We really enjoyed creating our half and half portraits.

This week we learned a bit about 9/11. It was a very sad day and it has had a big impact on the world.
