Maths

Murray- in graph gang we have started the new topic of volume, it has been very good so far. As a challenge we measured our class the final calculation by The Graph Gang, it was 167,400,000 cm3. 

This was done by Finlay.

John- For the Algebros we have been Calculating Are of shapes

Fraction Force have been doing estimating and rounding

And the Number Ninjas are doing calculations.

 

Reading

Murray- The reading groups have started their books 

Black Panther- Treasure Island

Iron Man- Eerie Encounters

Captain Marvel- Eager

Hulk- Take a run and jump

We have also started doing comprehension.

 

Social Studies – Titanic

Murray- For Titanic we have been looking at what happened before the Titanic set sail and took notes for writing in a week’s time.

John- Right now we are learning about how our engineers built the Titanic and the Olympic (Titanic’s sister ship)

John- Near when the Titanic sinks we will be given slips to say if we Survived or Died. 492 People survived out of 2,240 passengers. The chances of 1st  surviving were 61%, the chances of 2nd chance surviving are 42% and the chances of 3rd class surviving were 24%, And for the crew 214 of the crew survived, 24% survival chance for the Crew, 22% for Male crew and 87% Female crew survived. And 20% of the Male passengers survived and 75% of the Female passengers survived.

John- Here is a more in-depth view of the crew survival, 50% of the Navigation Officers survived (4 out of 8), Sadly 0% of the Engineers survived (There were a total of 25 engineers and they were all trying to keep the boat afloat). And 100% of the Lookouts (1st, 2nd and 3rd Officers) survived. How many children survived??? Well out of 109 children (including babies) 53 survived. And out of all the survivors, the ship’s Head Baker Charles Joughin, he is believed to be the very last survivor to leave the ship, and he claimed that barely even his head got wet!

All 3rd Class Passengers- 3rd Class Deserve Rights!

 

Writing

John- For writing this week we have re-drafting our favorite piece of Poetry.

 

In art we completed our ice cream models with Mrs Hutchinson.

 

In the woodland today we went digging for worms. We counted how many adults and adolescents and we will try a different area next week. We found 129 worms altogether!
