Ballad Poem

Today for reading we worked on a task about ballad poems. We watched this ballad poem about Charlotte Anne. She was a woman back in the 1870s who, unlike the other women wore trousers and boots instead of skirts or dresses. She also went into the forest to cut down trees for a living. 

Finding Fractions Of A Amount 2

For maths today I answered three fractions questions. Then I chose one to make a DLO about. It is a fun way to learn fractions because I enjoy answering hard questions. The question tried to trick me though, I almost put dollars instead of pounds.

Kyle Mewburn DLO

Yesterday, on Monday a author called Kyle Mewburn came and visited PBS. He came and talked to us about the difficulties of a writer and the good things about being a writer. He said he couldn't just write a book and expect it to be published, you had to send it to the publisher who might not like it the first time. Sometimes he had to rewrite his books lots of times. It was a fun and interesting experience.  

Square Roots

Squares and Square roots

Sheet 1

Answer the following problems

1. 3² = 9
2. 8² = 36
3. 2² = 4
4. 5² = 25
5. 7 = 7
6. √9 = 3
7. √36 = 6
8. √49 = 7
9. √64 = 8
10. √81 = 9

For today our maths was to fill in a worksheet about square roots. It was a fun activity because even though I know what square roots are I am not that good at them.

Bias

For reading this week our group was learning about Bias. Bias means only looking at one person's point of view. For example, years ago people who wanted to hire musicians judged people only their gender, not their music ability. So, back then most of the musicians that were hired were males. Now they do blind auditions (Putting a screen between the person hiring and the musician). 

Sub Word Wall And Paragph

The submarine submerged into the sea at a subzero temperature. As the submarine was leaving the water it crashed into a subject in the water. Meanwhile the subway had just left the station and the passengers were reading subheadings and subtitles of their newspaper. The subway also had a subnetwork so that people could entertain themselves….

Today LS2 got split into groups of four. We then completed a word wall about the word sub (We had to find words with sub like submarine or subway). Then we had to chose eight words from our word wall. Then we put those eight words into a paragraph. Sub means under or below.

Finding Fractions Of An Amount

For maths today I answered three questions about finding fractions of an amount. I then chose one of the problems and made a DLO about how I solved the problem.
