This week we have been learning about fractions in maths. When you want to find a fraction of an amount, the rule is to divide the whole number by the bottom number of the fraction and multiply your answer by the top number of the fraction.

 

In art we heard a very interesting story about a girl from Afghanistan who has beautiful eyes and is in a world famous picture.  However, while the girl didn’t get money from the picture the photographer did.  So, twenty years after the photo was taken, he looked for her.  It took him two years to find her but eventually he found her and gave her money.

Last week we learnt about mode, mean, meridian and range as part of data handling.  We also did some work looking at different types of angles and got to learn about degrees.  One of the things we had to do was work out which way we would be facing if we had to turn a certain number of degrees.

 

We also had ZooLab in the school last week.  There was a huge snail, a millipede, a tarantula, a tree frog and a snake.  We got to hold them all apart from the tarantula.  My favourite was the snake!
