Last Friday we went to Deans Community High School to do drumming in front of a huge audience. We played different rhythms on the djembe drums. We were feeling really nervous but we have lots of fun.

This week in Maths the Hexagons learned how to find the mean, mode, median and range of a set of data. The Pentagons and Triangles have been learning to mentally subtract 2 digit numbers by counting back in tens then ones.

For vertical learning this week we had the challenge of making a rainforest in a box using our knowledge of the layers. We also started different activities with different teachers. Some of us were learning about deforestation and the effect humans have on the rainforest. We had a vote to see if our group were for or against deforestation. Others were learning about aboriginal art and we had to make a story on our art work using symbols and dots.

The best part for me was doing the rainforest in the box. – Roan

I liked when we went to Deans to do the drumming because it was lots of fun! – Madeleine
