Numeracy
This week we learnt about historical number systems. We learnt about Egyptian and Roman numerals.
Bailey – I was surprised that the Egyptians used a frog to represent 1,000,000.
Some of us liked the number systems but some of us didn’t.
Robbie – It is way better.Much easier to do.
Lily-Elen – It is tricky. Our numbers are easier.
Maths
We learnt about the different types of triangles such as equilateral, isosceles, scalene and right-angled.
Literacy
In our grammar lesson this week we learnt how adverbs can make our writing more interesting.
When writing we wrote another descriptive piece – this time all about ourselves.
Topic – Europe
We started our new topic and enjoyed the map work.
Sophie S – I didn’t know there were 7 continents
Jaxson – I enjoyed learning how to greet people in French.
Science – The Solar System
With a partner, we have started to research an area of the solar system that we are interested in. In our first session, we used non-fiction books and practised making notes from them.
Bella – I did not realise Neptune has 8 moons
Robbie – I was surprised Uranus has 15 moons.
Bailey – I didn’t know there was a dark side of the moon.
Hope – I found out there are three dwarf planets.
