Speech finals in team 5

Here is my favourite speech on Friday 25th of august.

First was Amelia. Amelia's speech was about when she attended Riverina primary school. Her nana worked there as a cleaner during the school breaks which was called "Spring clean", she loved working there. Amelia didn't get why she loved coming to clean at school. Sometimes her nana wouldn't come to work so then her mum would fill in for her or her mum would come and help her, until her nana never showed up to work, the reason why she stopped coming to work was that she became very ill. Eventually Amelia stopped seeing her nanas happy smiling face. Amelia gets it now it wasn't about the cleaning job that made her happy, it was every time she saw Amelia. Her beautiful cheeky granddaughter. 

Here is a piece from her speech. " I miss her dearly and i'm happy that our heavenly father  have her in a safe and happy place."

Enjoy her speech.

Measuring mates

WALT: Measure accurately and to find the difference between two numbers.

In class I learned about measuring and the difference between two number. For example:

Me and my friend measured the height of ourselves I was 1.65 m and she was 1.64 m. 
Then we had to subtract the smaller number to the bigger number like, 1.65 - 1.64 and the difference between these two was that she was 0.01 m off. 

Fraction Challenge

WALT - Participate %100 as a member of a group
            - Find fractions of a whole

If you are wondering what is this fraction challenge. This challenge is basically about working as a team and the team members participating in the entire challenge. Not only is it about working as a team, it is about finding a fraction of a whole and to see how we would represent a fraction.

Here is our movie we put together about the fraction challenge.

Popsicle Decimals

Today in maths I learned about decimals using Popsicle sticks. There are many ways you can learn your decimals. I learned that you need to memorise the basics before you start, For example: Ten tenths is 1 whole. We were using numbers that have one or more digits to the right of the decimal point in this unit of lessons.
