Clyde in the Classroom

We will receiving our fish eggs soon, we have been learning how to care for them when they come.

Fish needs:
Cool temperature
Rocks for shelter
Clean water with no chlorine
Food to survive

Willy came to insert our hatchet. He was so impressed with our work on Clyde in the classroom display he took a picture and he is showing other schools which we are all pleased about.

We will be getting the eggs in a few weeks so keep reading our posts for updates.

Maths – everyday measure

In Maths we have been consonanting on measure and the different types of measurements.

Types of measures –
Length
Volume
Weight
Height

What we would use measuring for –
Length would be how far something or somewhere is.
Volume for how loud I need to sing.
Weight would be how heavy or light something is.
Height for how tall something is.

We use measure everyday but some people don’t notice it. There are lots of different measurements and how the help our everyday life.

Identifying angles

We have been learning all about angles.

A right is 90 degrees, like a corner of the table. Rachael and Fraser

An angle that is less than 90 degrees is an acute angle. Dil

An angle that is more than 90 degrees is an obtuse angle. Gregor

A straight angle is 180 degrees. Katie

An angle that is bigger than 180 degrees is a reflex angle. Lewis

We found some angles in class

Circles are cool

We have moved on in math to circles by telling how many degrees is in them (360°) by using protractors. We didn’t know how to use protractors at first but we learned and now we are pros at it. Then we saw what a compass is but we also didn’t know how to use that but again we learned how to use it so now we are amazing at it. We also learned what parts of a circle and there is the circumference (that’s the outside of a circle), centre (the middle of the circle), radius (a line from the centre to circumference), diameter ( a line from the circumference right though the centre to the other the side of the circumference) and the chord ( the chord is a line from the circumference to the other side of circumference but not going though the centre).
